Your Favorite Commentator

[Flashed_Inferno]

So, I have been wondering for a while, what do you guys think of the professional tournament's commentators? If you have seen a lot, who is your favorite?

[Kaye Cruiser]

Smooooooth Jazz~

If you know what I mean.

 

[splat]

Haven't been watching videos for that long, but as far as I can tell right now I enjoy listening to Prog, D1 and Keitaro most.

 

[Ogopogo]

Prog & D1 are an S Tier team

 

[Rawkuz]

Prog and D1 have good synergy. Its like they feed of each others hype.

 

[JB IV]

Definitely Prog and D1.
When Keitaro commentates with False they've already seen the match
and know what to expect. They just doesn't sound as legit.
Honorable mention to Pierce because I like when he throws out random match-up tips

 

[esoterics]

Prog and D1 make an awesome team. I also enjoy hearing Wobbles though. It's a shame I haven't heard him in a while.

 

[Mr.Pickle]

Dude HomeMadeWaffles, lol no contest.

 

[HyperrCrow]

Just like most people, Prog and D1. I also enjoyed Waffle a lot a while ago.

 

[Bombitty]

I'd love to hear Prog and Wobbles commentate a match together. They are my two favorites. Both are so knowledgeable and can keep the hype up like professionals. As far as pure most hype commentator? Coontail no question. Feels like I'm watching a stadium sport when listening to him. Even if it is brawl.

 

[\Apples]

Toph, Scar and Wife.

I prefer when commentators can actually keep up with the pace of the match and be inside both players' heads and comment through the players, rather than on the match as a whole, if that makes any sense. It feels much more professional. I like when commentators call out players' strengths and weaknesses, character strengths and weaknesses the entire time. Despite myself actually being kind of an ecstatic person, I get bored as **** when commentators play off the stream chat and make jokes that aren't really funny at all when they don't know what to talk about. Some are worse than others, not naming any names.

I do like Prog as well, he does a really good job of filling in knowledge gaps that he and the audience might have and that's really great for making the community and the metagame more approachable. I don't prefer his commentary style personally, but I do think commentators like him are very important to have around.

Like, for your everyday tournament, I don't really care who commentates. Most are boring and I tune them out anyways. But at nationals, I want to hear at least one commentator with a more professional, attentive style. They make Smash feel like a real sport, it's great.

 

[Juushichi]

Uh... the stuff you described in paragraph 1 is exactly the stuff I and a lot of people I've watched recent streams with hate about Scar right now. Toph is mostly okay depending on his commentating partner, but his combination with Scar is not the most bearable.

It's a night and day difference between Toph+Wife and Toph+Scar.

 

[Xebenkeck]

Prog for sure.

HMW was godlike in the day, he doesnt do it as much anymore though.

I also agree wobbles is very good at it wen he does it aswell.

 

[GreenMunchkin]

HomeMadeWaffles (self-commentary), Prog, Wife, and Keitaro in that order.

 

[Paradoxium]

Huskystarcraft
Psystarcraft

 

[Cubelarooso]

Gimpyfish.

 

[robosteven]

TKBreezy's smooth jazz voice.

 

[Renji64]

A tribe called rest.

 

[batistabus]

For PM my favorite commentating combo is D1 and TKO. Hope they commentate together at Apex.

 

[Papa+Stone]

Ken is a solid one

 

[Burnsy]

Definitely Awestin. Very professional commentary & detailed analysis.

 

[DMG]

Definitely Awestin. Very professional commentary & detailed analysis.

If you think that's good, you should hear what he says while playing. One of the funniest guys I've ever heard

 

[Celestis]

I enjoy Wobbles commentary.

 

[powerfox112]

Probably Prog and D1 cause they keep it real
Prog and Wobbles was good too

 

[Zujx]

what do prog and d1 look like i can't think of it at all lol

Hm. Perhaps I've not heard enough Scar commentary to make an informed opinion.

 

[DMG]

Scar can be cool and great on mic. Even some of the awkward back and forth's he goes through with Toph are fine. A bit negative on PM I guess. I don't disagree with the logical complaints people have, but like take Olimar. I doubt he's played Brawl at a level he cares about, trying to win in tournament, and here comes Denti or some Oli guy about to ruin his day. Like, he's not entitled to have nightmares about Oli being back. I've lived against that ****, other people gotta play Rich Brown and Dabuz every other weekend. We know the true meaning of terror when it comes to Olimar, for him to be that turned off it's like he doesn't knowwwwwwwwww our pain with Oli and the warranted fear we have now that he's back lol. When they said they were bringing back top and high tier characters from Brawl, our first honest reaction was PLEASE save us lol. We played that game, let us carry the burden of loathing and fear and hopes.

All of that from the trailer.

 

[foshio]

Prog and wobbles- one or the other, not one and the other. Both are the more logical, analytically commentators.
D1- Brings the hype
TKO- also adds some hype (sometimes can be a hype killer lol) that jazz voice tho

 

[Papa+Stone]

Hm. Perhaps I've not heard enough Scar commentary to make an informed opinion.

There will never be enough scar commentary to justify a negative opinion about him. Scar is exciting and fun to listen to, and aso interesting, and he synergizes well with toph and makes listening to the socal dweebs bearable with his co-commentary, especially with ken(never happened im pretty sure though which is why ken has never sounded good commentating a match). The way i see it is that the nerds of smashboards are intimidated by scar and his incredible personality, of which they have none. Thus nerds are the biggest haters of scar and toph and thats why they scream at him on twitch chatrooms. The irony however is that scar is quite obviously a nerd as well, however significantly less so and actually cool and electrifying. People just love to hate on greatness. Leave it to PM players to mock scar of all people, you all should know better.

Toph is pretty good as well, however when he co commentates with wife they get really intimate and it makes me feel weird.

you must form your allegiances now, or forever lie in death, as you pledge allegiance to the one true project m commentator

Or maybe because he's actively spiteful of Project M:

[Johnknight1]

Prog and D1 are the best pair.

I also very much enjoy Waffles and Wobbles and Wife as well.

Even though I haven't played vBrawl in about 4 years, dude Olimar (along with Snake) is the most unique and well crafted characters in the game.

How can you not see what Olimar is doing in Brawl when Brawl's so slow=???

No wonder Twitter blew up on Scar yesterday...

 

[Vashimus]

what do prog and d1 look like i can't think of it at all lol

 

[GMaster171]

>DJNintendo17 and xD1x

lol

 

[red9rd]

Who ever this bro is.

[deadjames]

TKBreezy is my favorite P:M commentator, Melee would be D1 and Prog, and Brawl probably either Gunblade, Pierce, or Keitaro.

 

[Kati]

Whoever knows their facts about P:M and doesn't spread misinformation is fine in my books.

 

[Flashed_Inferno]

Toph, Scar and Wife.
