FUCK EVO no 3s=no EVO
Seth and dogface… the majority on that list don’t exist any more, don’t have the knowledge to commentate, or have the knowledge but just can’t (e.g. they just repeat everything we can see anyway) - or are just really unfunny idiots.
Side note: chris hu’s commentary is godlike though not professional enough for evo considering the coverage it’s getting this year imo.
anyone but James Chen. i’m sick of hearing him say “oh we got…(mixups, fireballs, combos, etc)” and sonic hurricane kick
I don’t care. Just don’t kill off the commentators voices by Sunday. I typically don’t mind listening to anyone but last year people sounded like they were on their death beds during the finals. Not a good look.
Killian and Seb/Dogface.
Just for the love of god don’t get LO3 like Devastation had, they don’t have a clue as to what they’re talking about, and the “experienced” people they got up on stage were even worse.
seth killian, yipes, seb
those 3 would be my favorite, i also like keits
Why the fuck am I on this poll?
I just want to point out however that I know more than all of you about this game. I would be the most biased commentator ever, and I’d pretty much just talk about all the stupid things people do in this game.
“Look, this man is jumping backward. He is jumping backwards because that is how you play SF4. Jumping backwards is god like. Please jump backwards more.”
no doubt it should be s-kill but honorable mention goes to yipes, seb, and ultradavid. seth with any one of those other 3 would be great.
evo, please ignore all the chris hu bullshit. if he commentates then all ur credibility goes right out the window.
Seb and Seth
Where the fuck is Chris Hu?
obvious s-kill play by play
gotta go with seb/ski as backups (i’d rather see yipes up there but i dont know if s-kill and yipes would be a good team)
Dsp.
Because I wish SF4 was 3S.
Also, that commentary would still be better than …90% of the sf4 commentators we’ve had to tolerate.
Well I just wanted to say that commentary overall for the weekend was very good. Seth was amazing as always. Ski rules until day 2 when he starts to sound like a 200 year old man, but even with only 8% of the votes Keits just couldn’t take a hint. Stay off the mics until you hit puberty! Only 8% of people care about what you have to say.
The only thing more unanimous than our love of s-kill commentary has got to be that no matter who commentated, ANYONE from this list would’ve been better than that complete tool from G4 who somehow sat in on the finals. Adam Kessler? Sessler? Whatever. With comments like “Oh look! A flurry! A flurry from Ricky!” and (after round 1) “Ricky just took down the champ! or course there will have to be many more rounds before anyone is crowned the champion” and my personal favorite “Its all tied up! 2 for Ricky! 2 for Daigo!”, after Ricky won the first round of the second best of 3, I hope I never have to hear from him again. This guy was so fucking retarded he didn’t even get the concept of a best of 3. I didn’t bother to look up what he does, or who he is really, but he would’ve had to pony up 100% of the cost of running evo to justify him being able to sit in on top 8 like he did.
You’re too nice Seth, next time just bitch slap douchebags like that and tell them to go have a seat in the middle of the crowd with the rest of the noobs.
To be fair, I could see why someone who doesn’t know anything about the tournament at all would think that winning two rounds is winning two rounds, irrespective of matches.
Also to be fair, he should have understood the fucking rules before he got on camera to commentate.
It’s weird that Adam Sessler is so bad at EVO commentating. He’s usually a pretty knowledgeable person regarding video games. Should’ve done his research.
Seriously…one would think hosting XPLAY would give hime knowledge of how rounds and matches work in a fighting game at least…
Don’t let Sessler commentate at a major anymore until he gets his act together. An otherwise pretty decent finals constantly interrupted by him saying some dumb shit that made me facepalm and pray that he would just shut up. I thought I didn’t care that much about who commentates, but apparently I care enough to want someone who has a basic understanding of the game on.

Look, considering Sessler’s complete lack of knowledge toward the actual genre and competition, he did a decent job. The only thing that annoyed me was he couldn’t tell a round from a game, and I’m sure he’ll be embarrassed about that for a while. But it was a nice to see a viewpoint from someone who actually isn’t in the community and how they would react to the actual tourney. Now, I think they should’ve done it earlier and not during the finals, but the finals are where the most casuals are watching since I doubt they’re watching pool play, so I guess they needed someone to relate to.
All in all, it could’ve been worse.
dogface was the best out of the whole weekend.
“Justin fucking Wong!”
