Going 0-2 At EVO

Woolie must not get 0-2 vs the algorithm

[@koover]

I'll never forget waking up hungover at combo breaker for uniel pools years ago and losing to a guy called FARTCRACK.

[@JustSoji]

LMFAO NAAAH we're switching from whatever game to IRL Street Fighter after that

[@AngryHomunculus]

I don't why, but the Brian thing just reminded me of a time I was playing League, I had an Akali on my team whose username was something along the lines of "I like Tomboys". I then complimented them on the username, and after the thanks they explained to me that they chose that username to specifically clown on people when they get killed by them.

[@Graysett]

That's the exact methodology my one sibling uses behind picking their names and designing their custom characters. They want you to lose AND they want you to feel embarrassed that you lost to someone that looks goofy as fuck with a stupid name. I blame my step-dad letting them be the ones talking on mic while he played Halo back in the day so people would be embarrassed they lost to a squeaky 8 year old.

[@JasperHayward_GG]

That's why I turn off the user names in League lmao FUCK those goofy ass names

[@Secret_Takodachi]

Dude I don't even play fighting games but I get the jokes because I LIVE IN THIS NICHE. If jokers like you can't understand the overlap that hardcore gamers have for different genres then...well you're just not a part of that scene.

[@Sultan-wj3gp]

The ladder moment... I need to check how long does it took for Woolie to notice the bonfire, when Pat was talking about "right over your shield dude", those two moments hurt me so good.

[@CrystalBahamut]

In that instance Pat should've said "shield icon" which would have been instantly understood. Not proud to say I lost my shit yelling at what was clearly done and gone 😣

[@gregstinkston7634]

I knew a guy who got 0-2d at Evo. Every now and then I'll hear a story of him doing money matches in some hell hole corner of America. Always somewhere that his name hasn't spread like a rot. An empty vassle of boundless pride.

[@canalsincontenido]

I'd watch that 80's tv show. Something like Hulk or The A Team, but sponsored by fighting games.

[@WantSomeWhiskey818]

This reads like a Dark Souls item description

[@AnnCatsanndra]

If I went all the way to Evo just to get 0:2 in my main game I'd just cry for the entire rest of the day

[@canalsincontenido]

@@GuntanksInSpace "my pools were all against killers" leaves the impression that you didn't lose to them, they were just around while you lost to some rando

[@GuntanksInSpace]

@@canalsincontenido yes, but also having the very first match I had being against last event's SCVI champ in our local kinda was the experience lol The KOF champ thing was on the other tourney I joined, still a bloodbath lol

[@AhegodKira]

Went to my first EVO this year and was absolutely mortified at the thought of going 0-2. What was crazy is that I was someone who went to locals and thought I would be used to the pressure. When I won my first set I was actually through the moon, I was dooming for the multiple weeks leading up to it and in hindsight, it was probably tanking my mental health, but did wonders for my improvements in practice sessions.

[@Pompadourius]

The most important part of going to any tournament, to me, is to at LEAST go 1 - 2 so I can have the virtue of saying I got some good hits in. I'm not confident enough in my skills at any game at the moment to ask for more than that. Not above pools yet, sadly.

[@Lozzu]

Videos are getting in my recommended yet I haven’t watched any vids, gj Woolie and team

[@GunterThePenguinHatesHugs]

Woolie and Reggie have hacked the system! 😆

[@Hi-Fi_ve]

OH THIS VIDEO HURTS ITS TOO REAL

[@bodyga1140]

Woolie has some experience going 0-2 at EVO *wink* *wink*, *nudge* *nudge*. At least he got a couple rounds off of Daigo, though. Can't be too mad after that.

[@Kevinofrepublic]

I don't play fighting games but man. I understood these sentiments perfectly. So funny dude.

[@Baka_desu0]

RIP the Able Player

[@lifeiscrap103]

I can't believe Woolie killed him. But at least we now know it was a mercy-killing after going 0-2.

[@GunterThePenguinHatesHugs]

I never played fighting games like Tekken or Street Fighter, but after starting and getting in deep with Multiversus, I'm starting to understand this Berserk-esque darkness fighting games provoke within man's fragile heart. . .

“Gg man, where you from?” ‘Alaska.” And so he never returned to Las Vegas.

Also woolz, this is a really great clip. The title is punchy, the thumbnail is eye catching , and the content is engaging. Well done, keep it up

[@MrAirgear67]

i had a similar incident happened when i went 0-2 in smash at a anime con. the true pain came from the fact that my opponent just casually popped in his headphones and was jamming throughout both matches. found out they had loser pools but was still too defeated to care. shit still haunts me

[@jonahszaro3545]

I went 0-2 to a guy from *my* club in pools. I had to beat the club organizer just to be at that tournament and I still lost. I still remember the shame of how long the carpool was back.

[@boislap]

[@felipevega830]

A lot of what you guys said I was kinda lost but I was able to understand more than what I used for fighting game terms, so I was able to still laugh and enjoy it thanks Woolie

[@mxwoods3]

Can we get a edited clip of Woolies reaction to the Star Wars Eclipse announcement trailer from the old VGAs? That shit was hilarious.

[@marley2219]

The worst fucking feeling in the world, goddamn

[@3serio]

Had a Bud go 0-2 in SF4 and when he came back he was different. Where we used to hang out all the time 9/10 he’d stay home and play SF4. Exception being the weekends, where he’d work as many hours as he could….. to save up to go to Houston (from Florida) so he could rematch the guy who took him out. I mean found his fb and everything they set it up and he won their set, and then just hung out that weekend. LSS in our adult years they moved to my hometown (ATL) and “Black Blake” has joined the friend circle.

[@monsterhiddenfromthesun210]

Bro..... That's a fuckin' story.

[@3serio]

@@monsterhiddenfromthesun210 yea my boi Mike was on a mission. I wasn’t all the way in yet, so i didn’t know anything about EVO or terms like salty runback, running a first to whatever, etc. I probably learned most of what I know about the fgc during this saga. And to make it so bad, they both dropped SF5 immediately and moved on to Tekken. Me and our other friend stayed with SF.

[@Vanity0666]

0-2 at EVO is the modern day equivalent of the Walls Of Jericho falling

Here here! 😃 Yaaay algorithm!

[@galesturms]

Only ever seen an 0-2 at a regional here in the Northeast and that was brutal. You can’t escape that level of shit talk and since it’s kinda local, people recognize you, and they still haven’t escaped that association.

[@madbear4903]

Woolie watches a man die inside.

[@Kamruk]

Part of it is the algorithm, part of it is also that I don't watch full length streams anymore - so getting highlights like these are great way to peak into some short moments when I have a minute

[@MacMens0100]

Started playing 2D fighting games in September of last year. The goal was to win one set at EVO and I would be satisfied if I did. I managed to win two sets and it was great. Even if you do go 0-2, you’re in Vegas. Enjoy yourself

[@MisterMelvinheimer]

I remember this bit from the dark souls lp. It had me howling at work and everyone was giving me crazy eyes. This channel was a good idea.

[@ghostpope5558]

Remember that one time wollie fought daigo in round one of evo. That was a good time.

[@ShikuruPlaysGames]

I managed to not go 0-2 for Skullgirls at Evo this year. I thought for sure I was going to because I didn't get enough practice in, so I went in the tournament with a "I'm just here to play games and have fun" mentality, but somehow I managed to get three wins before getting eliminated, and if I had won two more games I would've made top 48.
