I'm a play-by-play too. :[Hm... well, for the most part I guess you could separate people into two categories: Play-by-play commentators and color commentators. The play-by-play commentators are the ones who are dry, telling it how it is, and give the sports-like commentary to the matches which keeps people informed. The color commentators interject with interesting tidbits/humor/hype at the right points which keeps people entertained. Obviously, the play-by-play commentators talk the most between the two.
So far, there has only ever been one play-by-play commentator for Smash that I know of... Me. I just need the right color commentator who meshes well with me. The downside to my commentary is that I'm dry as hell and I can't make a funny worth a ****, which is why I need a good color commentator by my side. So far the best co-host I've had is Dmbrandon because he's hilarious and knows his stuff (Omni is also one of the better co-hosts I've had because he knows me well enough to interject at the perfect times).
I suppose if you really want to somehow mainstream this, you can have people sign up beforehand (or via a signup sheet at registration) as a play-by-play commentator or a color commentator, then mix and match.
We'd be like golf commentators. Hahahaha XD
I plan on finding out pairs that mesh well and trying to get commentary going on for all the matches. Kiest, we should get commentary on the FFA items tournament :D
