The FGC TwitchCon Experience | Sajam Slam Live Finals

[@adiboobruh6453]

I'm of the impression that this team should get a run back next slam. This team had THE VIBES. Thanks for being our goat coach

[@4o-3o]

This for sure. The vibes were insanely good.

[@tallergeese]

I feel like they were definitely the fan favorite team and got the most buzz as a team during the tournament.

[@IAmTheShazz]

Vibes were fucking IMMACULATE!

[@dylanracho3536]

100% agree. This team was ABSOLUTELY one of (if not THE) best parts of the tournament and it really sucks they had to go out that way.

[@nabillun]

As someone who didn't follow any of the teams independently of sajam's coverage, I don't wanna put any of them down but have to agree that team Brian was definitely one of the more hype ones! If everything aligns would love to see them again in a future slam.

[@austingonzales8808]

Eskay deserved better. :') She stole the show for me and wish she got a chance to show off all she's learned and grinded.

She got the runback against ultima shortly after and won 7-1

I’m not at all annoyed with Sajam, this isn’t on him at all, this is a Twitch thing, he’s ran great events and didn’t deserve this happening to him

[@foxstomp4016]

Absolutely not advocating being frustrated with him, but this is a hazard of putting your name on something, I guess.

[@josh___something]

​@@foxstomp4016 twitch rivals is a whole ass event organizer. There's almost no reason to blame Sajam or any of the Sajam Slam staff for the TV error. There was a perfectly servicable gaming setup for each team had that been the plan. (And also, the Sajam Slam is primarily an online event) Somewhere in the pipeline, the decision was made for a dedicated "Couch" setup that The Slam team probably didn't have any control over hardware-wise. At worst, you could argue that this ruined the event and whoever at the twitch rivals team that set it up ruined it. But, at the end of the day, it's a production error from a team that has to account for multiple gaming communities that just slipped through the cracks. tl:dr; Sajam and the Slam team definitely isn't at fault, and the Twitch rivals team made an understandable mistake since they're not a dedicated FGC organizer.

[@LordBaktor]

Dokibird made me laugh and Eskay made me legitimately root for her so even if you guys didn't win the whole Slam saga has been highly entertaining.

[@skrubknight884]

the whole team was great. Doki as the terror of the newbies was the highlight and Eskay was a lot of fun to discover, but i've been following Brawlpro since the Tekken Slam, and Koefficients massive hype energy just added onto everyone else. Plus it was cool seeing how Brian went and coached all these very different players(even if Doki didn't watch the video with handcam lol)

[@imezstreety33t28]

This Team is WHY I watched SAJAM SLAM, Brian you are GOATED and is starting to filling the hole for me from excellent adventures going away. Love you Bro

[@thespeedof5999]

[@GinkgoPete]

Tbf Twitch con for someone that isnt super famous or 12 is hella lame

[@honeybadgerzombie1159]

Whether or not their excuses are good, events like this would NEVER give say valorant or something else like that the “family room tv” setup. It’s unacceptable that they would have proper setups for the other games, fucking MINECRAFT for gods sake, and then look at any game with a parry mechanic and go “nah I got a flatscreen that should do it right”

[@hteety]

To be fair, a setup like this is more FGC than having everyone on setups. The choice of a TV over a large, low lag monitor was the aberration, but at the same time, huge tourneys like EVO are played on PS5s with latency even if they're on monitors. I the TV had been on game mode, it wouldn't really be that bad, probably easily comparable to many big FGC events. The other thing is that it is logistically impossible to play those games on TVs because you dint have multiple people on one set up for those. I think of Valorant or Minecraft was a game that people normally play split screen on, Twitch would definitely make them play on TVS. Twitch doesn't care, but it's not like it's even physically possible to play 5v5 on a single TV setup, or get 20 TV setups for fortnite

[@RyanMay-uo9fz]

I purposefully didn’t watch the slam so I could watch this video. Thank you Brian.

[@aqueelkadri8371]

Theres an alternate universe out there where Brian put on his Karen hat as soon as he saw the TV and made sure the tournament was played on monitors. Theres also an alternate universe where team JB doesn't make it to top 4 and the entire tournament is played on Movie mode cuz Esfand isn't there. All things considered I think the slam was fun to watch and had some really hype moments in the later sets if you were locked in to the tournament and ignorant about the debacle (Which I was)

[@zanpakutoman4225]

Esfand truly was the good guy of the Slam, because he was winning in the lag. He ends up losing the match after turning the tv to game mode. He'd rather lose as a hero in Game Mode, than win as a gremlin in the lag.

[@arobin3266]

The JP music when the TV is brought up lmao

[@alexonstott4954]

Definitely the most scuffed slam so far, but it was still an awesome event and a testament to how entertaining the fgc content creators are even in bad circumstances. Lots of lessons for the future

[@Ginsufe]

It really sucks for Sykkuno and Eskay man. Especially Sykkuno given being the "beginner" tier matchup vs a Blanka where reactions are a must since blanka is going ham with initiating moves like blanka ball and his command grab. Massive input delay vs that is down evil. It also sucks for the other side since you don't feel like you get a proper win. Also you KNOW some annoying people gave them some shit for winning despite it not being something they could control. I'm rehashing a bit, but boy it was nice to see Sykkuno go off. Be salty bro. You deserve to be.

[@riccizinho]

Eskay and Sykkuno would've definetely won if there wasn't input lag. Team Brian_F got scammed. You were the goat coach!

[@markmessi9020]

[@zanpakutoman4225]

Hosting an FGC event at something that isn't very grassroots, like Twitchcon, probably wasn't the best possibility. But, getting to hear Brian_F's reaction to Gen Z/Alpha streamers and their equally young fangirls is hilarious.

[@Marshall__Farmer]

Brian had his dumbbells in the back for the quick pump fr fr

[@WilkenKear]

Really hope we get another Sajam Slam and you guys can run it back, following the team was super fun.

[@Mage_Nichlas_]

So many people in the comments of Sajam's video said they stopped watching after the first couple matches and they really robbed themselves of a good watch. Of course I wanted Team Brian_F to go the distance but it's disappointing about the setup. Hopefully the next event will come into contact with any FGC veteran in the setup phase so we can actually showcase how amazing Fighting Games are.

[@Boyzby]

I only skipped one set, because people kept talking about how bad they felt for Eskay.

[@dotmp3883]

the way anyones heart would drop seeing the setup on the giant tv :( I wish the people in charge of the setup knew just a bit more but it is what it is

[@dotmp3883]

i didnt even get to the point where they changed the settings on the tv wow that really sucks :(

It has been such an amazing journey till now, but in this event I’ve seen brine so happy and determined that it has been even greater, thx for the content as always king

[@Bruthole]

I think what would've helped you against JB is Doki reminding you constantly how much higher rank he is and laughing while you played.

[@Catchuga770]

The JP theme when showing the fucking tv was genius LMAO

[@OdinCasts]

I was at Twitch Con for work (marketing stuff), and didn't set floor in the actual center once, did all my business outside the hall at nearby bars and such. Being 33 and watching everything taking place there (and in particular watching kick streamers be degenerate dickheads to twitch streamers), I really don't feel like I missed much lol. I am sad I didn't get to go to the slam, but I'm happy for everyone who got to attend and enjoy it, must have been surreal for many people, especially Sajam.

[@xRhychux]

The music shift when he sees the tv 😂 11:40

[@techparadox7016]

No joke, I would have been complaining for a runback on those initial matches. For this event being a fighting competition, if they weren't going to have the individual players on their own rigs with monitors, then production should have had that TV on game mode from the start. Eskay and Sykkuno got shafted, through no fault of their own, because they're new enough at this they didn't know enough to check the TV settings.

[@Platanov]

The TV stuff was unfortunate, but everything else about this whole slam has been amazing. All the personalities were great, having so many big name FGC people like Punk and Justin stepping in to help train was great, the chaotic rivalry was great, getting people into the community was great. I'm so happy with the whole thing.

[@FioreFire]

Having followed this team's progress on this channel for the whole event, it's quite a bummer to see it end like this because of factors outside of the players' control. Good games, everyone...

The queue'd in JP theme when talking about the setup. Hat to the editor.

[@shmooters5599]

Honestly agreed for having the regular set-ups. Let the players get to enjoy the live environment and the crowd, but watching at home we barely get to see the pop-offs, we can’t really even hear the team comms, we end up with these issues with lag that make everyone play worse than they would like. I think the first two slams had wonderful team environments for their finals, and seeing the setups that weren’t used, twitch definitely could’ve still provided that same atmosphere as well as the live show. At least we’ll know for next time, all we can do is hope.

[@ShikiRyougi05]

This is just so frustrating. I honestly believe your team would've 4-0 this entire set if not for the fucked up setup...

[@krasmazov009]

Brawlpro walks around with a universal remote? This team's vibes are immaculate 😆 Brian next time you can do something like this please do it.

[@hteety]

You got everything wrong. Esfand was the one Brian thought pulled out the remote, but like 30 seconds later this video it showed the twitch guy pull out the remote, then Esfand taking it from him.

[@mutou36]

In my room I have my monitor and my tv, one for competitive and one for fun. U talked about game mode and I decided to check, then I saw it was off and turned it on. I had no clue my tv had that lmao. Thank u Brian.

Brian and Koe bodyguarding Sykkuno isn't something I had on my bingo for sure!

[@redmagebr]

Real shame that they went with a cool PC setup and then screwed up on the screen of all things.

[@tzfsr]

i'm very upset that this happened man. I've been following this even since it started and I've been following team Brian F day one. Seeing your team not get to give their all (especially Eskay) really hurts.

[@MAKRA567]

In reference to "almost a full second of lag", that's entirely possible. A lot of consumer TVs when outside of game mode have absolutely atrocious delay. And based on everything else youve said about the TV, it doesn't seem like they went out of their way to get a particularly good TV. It looks like a standard LG TV, probably on the cheaper end, definitely not an OLED or anything. 30-45f of input delay sounds about right after factoring in the whole setup. That sounds miserable to play in, especially after working that hard and travelling for a tournament with so many people watching. Congrats to the whole team for the wonderful showing you had throughout the whole Slam, though! It was a lot of fun to follow the whole training arcs and everything. Looking forward to hopefully another slam in the future

You lost because sykuuno didn’t put the wig on

I hope BrianF's team stays the same next SF6 Slam 👀🙏

[@aronorange]

Not the JP theme when mentioning the TV 😂

[@theuzi8516]

To peeps who think Team JB also having input lag evens the field: The issue with input lag is that especially at lower levels where people can't really switch up their playstyle as easily, the lag gives aggressive players a huge buff because the defender is expected to pass reaction checks in neutral (like basically anything Gumi did to Sykkuno) and getting the correct punishes is also timing-dependent since you still have a narrow window if you want to get the big stuff out. So yeah, given that Sykkuno and Eskay are both generally defensive, the input lag actually skews the playing field even if both sides have it.

[@tzfsr]

i hope yall get to do another Slam

I want you, and all of the team (including you sykkuno) that I've been rooting for yall from the jump. It's really frustrating and shocking to me, as a TO, that Twitch being a platform built on gaming didn't have a single person in the decision process to go "Yo we can't do this TV, that shits gonna be laggy af." Cause even tho my locals were intended to be a casual environment, we catered to our local scene as like a "Hey, you got your weeklies, your monthlies, your majors, we're just a silly coffee shop with no stakes, but we got low latency set ups and dozens of em."

Dang…that kid hit Brian with the one and done,little did he know Brian would come back to run the set,but ends up one and done the kid. That’s the funny mental image I got from that badge story, it’s so petty but it’s hilarious. The Tv setup is so frustrating, I usually play fighting games on Pc with a good monitor. Guilty Gear Strive was on the game pass and decided to try it out. My Tv is 65 inches and I don’t play a lot of things that are input heavy, so I didn’t think it would be that bad on game mode. It was noticeable and I lost to someone I would’ve never lost to. I logged back in with the Pc for the run back, but unfortunately that person wasn’t in the lobby anymore. The team was pretty strong I also believe you could’ve made it to the finals. I don’t agree with Nephew, I like the pricing split, I love when everybody eats. If it was me, I’m in a good spot where money is not really an issue and I’d walk in there knowing win or lose I would be fine, I’d rather everyone get a piece than winning the whole pot.
