So I usually watch Waffles' vids, since he mostly does Cali stuff, and I'm from Cali.

A while back, I started watching a few of DJ Nintendo's commented matches, and I just had to ask.

Where did "of love," or "of the love" come from?

Was it from Lovage or something?

the ROM1 crew battle commentary is so ****ing beast.


but every other time i've heard DJN's commentary i've been rather annoyed/dissapointed.


im still waiting for the dude who best balances entertainment with constructive commentary.

His commentary for Genesis crews was nice, but I agree with Cam702's last bit.

djn made it up and everything is of the love like " the di of the love"

funny how people think his commentary is bad when most of the west coast stuff is bad too but not all of it

i guess its an opinion. do u want funny ,bias ,hype,or what they are doing

all matter of taste. i like them all actually. if everybody commentated the same, it would suck thats why diff comentating is good.

oh and i want europe to do commentating at apex..it would ****

I agree if DJ does Spanish commentary we Need Swedish, French, German, or some kind of commentary from that region. As long as they also speak really well english.

As for DJ. He usually does better commentary when he's got someone else to vibe with. Alukard, HMW, PB&J, Chops, Phil...etc. By himself he usually gets bored/doesn't give **** and says random ****. He's legit though. What about mogwai?

yeah, that's one thing people say that i just don't agree with.

they were legit as hell in the old days... they were my favorites, but i thought the #### commrntary was lame tbh.

stop living in the past imo.

best right now is Phil imo. dude is legit.

best ever is DA Dav3. commentary is mad fun to hear and ****in on point. that one M2K vs Ken match? **** was brilliant. he's my fav.

I like Papa Dav3, but he has to tone it down a bit. I don't care to hear the N word in succession that many times. However, when he was at MLG where he had to watch his language he was great to hear.

I think one thing we can all agree on is crowd reaction. The More crowd you can hear the more hype the matches seem. I'm all for just dropping a mic in the middle of a crowd and letting everyone say what they will. Also...Hyped Phil is legit on the mic. Not much commentating but the **** talk is epic win always.

there was this hilarious match of Ken vs. Chillin (or mayb Azen, I don't remember) on Fountain of Dreams where DA Dave was commentating. Ken started CGing and DA Dave goes "MORTAL KOMBAAAT. AHHHHHHH"

me,djn, and merck on one mic..old spanish people commentary..coming soon to apex
Please stay away from the commentary at apex... at local tournaments I think anyone who wants to commentate should be allowed to, but for a national, professionalism and quality should get priority over old Spanish people

It sounds like this needs 2 streams.

1 stream with Professional commentary

2 stream with funny hilarious random **** on it.

The sad thing is lots of people don't seem to know which is which.

I can commentate professionally while being funny at the same time. Its just there have been some tournaments where I don't give a f*ck lol. So I end up doing horrible commentary, being mad and stuff like that. For example, the atrocious commentary I did at Tipped Off 5 lol.

I'm sorry about the commentary I've done in the past that wasn't me commentating like I really do. I can commentate well alone but if I have a partner, it depends who it is. I can commentate with alot of people though so its not like I'm mad picky. I've been playing this game from the beginning so I know a sh*tload about the game. So I can do constructive commentary while saying random, funny sh*t that I made up over the years that still relate to the game. For example, tomahawk, of the love, papi chulo, steve urkel, PRESSHHAA, mad cute, etc lol. In addition, I can commentate in spanish and do radio commentary if needed.

Solid Jake told me he wants me to commentate for Cataclysm 5. So I'll be ready for that. So I'm gonna do my best to entertain as much people as possible with the future commentary I do.

Yeah, honestly, I thought your commentary was pretty good, it just bothered me that I have no idea what moves are of the love, and what moves aren't.

anything can be of the love, however it is used profoundly in regards to a player's DI. this professional commentary technique has been coined and harnessed by DJ Nintendo.

^dictionary entry lol

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
I can't stand Mogwai's voice <.<

Sorry, <3 your falco Mogwai.
:mad088:

seriously though, I can't stand my voice either. what I'm saying is **** though, so it's totally worth it :laugh:.

i love mogwai and hazz. those gys are legit.

swift is great too.
^this guy knows the score!

especially since he also knows that Phil is the bizness. seriously I love that guy and his commentary is ****.
