Because long after he’s gone game devs will still be looking at his videos to study how the biggest ape brain gamer plays games. Dsp will live on as the the case study for idiots that devs need to account for
If I remember correctly Phil credited Tee Carter (RIP in peace my frogga) with teaching him how to play Super Turbo. I imagine Tee was the ur-example of stream chat and had to handhold Phil on how to counter every single move in the damn game.
There is a game that's kinda like that where high level play revolves around hoping that your bullshit optimized flurry of almost uncounterable attacks beats your opponent's optimized flurry of almost uncounterable attacks, what's it called again? Super Nitro? Ultra Turbo? Need to jog my memory...
That's not sandbagging, they're just doing what's called footsies in fighting games. Basically weaving in and out in such a way that you bait your opponent into doing an attack that misses (or whiffs as it's called) and then whiff punishing it with a
lmao, you're being really generous here, implying that Phil would find out that Taka has the second most busted nitaku game as well as the most busted throw game in VF5FS. If it's not some slow, lumbering, 25+ frames of execution move that's launch punishable, it might as well not even exist. Even if he took one of the fast beginner friendly characters like Lion or Pai he'd still somehow spend 80% of the match trying to hit people with a slow as fuck move that his gin-pickled brain remembered from training mode.
Imagine actually being immortal but you have to be DarksydePhil forever and you couldn't even kill yourself because you're too much of a coward. It's like a classic monkey's paw wish.
Not only couldn’t you kill yourself but you had to constantly deflect the hordes of people laughing at you every single day of your life by tirelessly insisting how great your life is even as it slowly and visibly crumbles around you.
Finally, he has room for the new Guilty Gear game. Oh, who am I kidding, he will never touch the game because he's a fat coward.
I think if Frank was able to track Phil down in public, it would be an event that would be mildly amusing at best, and he'd probably regret wasting whatever time and resources he used to get it done.
Or Blue Mary, who’s wearing half an outfit at all times? Or Athena, who’s been dressing in a fucking bikini since the 80s?
I say he shouldn't, all we'd get is Piggy squealing on Youtube about how he was right all along and he needs more tips than ever and they'll give it to him.
Phil doesn't ask for tips anymore. He told us! He has grown up.
I used to keep tabs on Wingo, but he's not even ironically entertaining anymore. Maybe if a new saga starts, but the "I'm totally happily married and I don't need to stream" (bullshit, ofc) one is pretty boring.
