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?

If you think that's good, you should hear what he says while playing. One of the funniest guys I've ever heardDefinitely Awestin. Very professional commentary & detailed analysis.
Hm. Perhaps I've not heard enough Scar commentary to make an informed opinion.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.
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.Hm. Perhaps I've not heard enough Scar commentary to make an informed opinion.

Toph is pretty good as well, however when he co commentates with wife they get really intimate and it makes me feel weird.
Or maybe because he's actively spiteful of Project M: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.
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.Or maybe because he's actively spiteful of Project M:

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