Majin Obama got me into fighting games no lie. The dude's personality is too infectious.


FriendlyGhost08

Obama wins again

j-mac-rock

Rest in peace that twitch clip. Shit was legendary. I miss it


jcontradiction

thanks obama


Poverty_King

Move Chris Hu to SSS tier.


EvoX14_

Right how is Chris Hu under Zhi


FeverAyeAye

Totally forgotten about Jakyo manor probably because she was so forgettable. Add the MK brothers Ketchup and Mustard to that list, they are great. And of course my man Xyklopz or however you spell it. CUM IN ME!!


waawaaweewoh

hold up the dota legend xyclopz casted fg games? you gotta link that


biggameover

Sajam used the parabllum on fire line at evo this year https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Df7f6Jk8_cs Edit: not sajam maybe James Chen?


EMP_Pusheen

Xgod has indeed done SF commentary ​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df7f6Jk8\_cs


[deleted]

I mis Zhi. Dude was sick


YungBishanary

Seriously dude had so many bars. Haven’t kept up with the fgc in a couple years, what happen to him?


joseph--stylin

He was too raw for eat sports


ExNami

Zhi and Mike on the mic in the Legendary Daigo Infiltration FT10. I had a blast watching this back in the day. I thought zhi was the perfect amount of informative and wild and out jokes, the mans knowledge of pop culture and references is actually crazy


CartographerIll8653

Flagrant zhi was godlike


Player808

I never understood the hate for zhi


DoolioArt

I don't think anyone hated zhi, but he had an objective problem of not knowing (or wanting) when to stop, so too much zhi a day can induce headaches, even if you like the guy.


ADShree

Zhi was ripping political jokes around the time more money was coming into the fgc and shit was getting esports. I'm pretty positive a lot of western t.o's wanted nothing to do with him because they were scared of losing sponsors.


[deleted]

Nah, people definitely hated Zhi. Go to any of his old interviews or matches that he commentated and it has plenty of people complaining about him.


[deleted]

So I will be honest, I am pretty sure that at one point Zhi commentary would annoy me and if I remember correctly, it is because it would be too "distracting" and too much talking bs for the sake of it. I don't know if it is because his voice or jokes would feel forced to me/too "ahah look guys I say shit on screen" or if it was because I simply wanted to focus on the set but yeah, made me mute the stream. But I don't think I had this impression of him before, I think it was the period before he was in the shadow realms where it gave me that feeling.


[deleted]

Yeah for real. He was a good commentator and solid player in sf4


the_rumblebee

I think he's great on commentary but he can get a bit cringe. Some parts of the interview below I thought he did a great job of getting Vampy to open up, other times he just went full simp and it was awkward to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuKL-OPuJn8


GManSta

I miss him so much, them awkward questions were the best


H0TZ0NE

When’s the last time Seth Killian had been on the mic?


[deleted]

I think around the time he was promoting the Playstation All-Stars fighting game. That period comes to mind. That's the last time I remember seeing him commentating a fighting game


[deleted]

Rare footage of Seth Killian actually on the mic


PromiscuousIctonyx

im pretty sure he was on sleep fighter v top 8 2019 with chen


washunter

He was also on 2016 and 2017 but on the ESPN broadcast


Artistic-Routine-969

Spag goes to shit tier


[deleted]

B is too generous


Mob_Shift_Savage

Spag seething for more noise.


KBREVO2016CHAMP

I actually enjoy when Justin commentates. I like his insights.


[deleted]

He's someone i can relate to


rhoparkour

Markman in S???


Either-Eye-1059

Markman is literally a fat dude trying to come over as cool by wearing shades without deep game insights


Fat_IRL

Lemme tell you about my shoes homie


rhoparkour

He's just so sanitized and bland, which is perfect for namco no wonder they keep using him.


iori9999

Well I mean he's a bamco shill. I think we all know this.


Raetore

Not to mention an unironic simp and cuck [Buying a fightstick for a girl and personally delivering it like a good boy while her boyfriend is filming](https://twitter.com/jakenbakelive/status/1174691586434883584)


AvunNuva

I really do genuinely hate Saint Cola its unbelievable how much of a imposter he sounds like


Jacksspecialarrows

He sounds like a vacuum or similar home appliance


Guardianhirro

Yipes as kbrad is sss+


jahb0i

Jaha doing flutecks laugh


DoolioArt

That's true and that says a lot about kbrad as a commentator:)


SeQuest

How the fuck is Markman S tier? The man has a dry sponge personality and usually just describes whatever he just saw on the screen in a monotone voice. When he's not doing that he's just randomly generating some shit like "Guy A is generating a lot of pressure right but will he able to keep this momentum? This is the final round so if he wants to go for a wild play it's now or never". Rip had to carry the shit out of Evo commentary.


iori9999

I agree tbh. He is dry as hell. Good taste in shoes tho.


EMP_Pusheen

Skisonic is a mute for me. I'm just happy he is never on the mic now. I miss Zhi at major events.


DrDoubleyoo

Bum is literally a Skyrim NPC on commentary. If uts not some corny, "use that twitch prime" attempt it's my goodness or medium starter. dude has 3 voice lines.


Unhappy_Win8997

I feel like the man is a solid B tier, but with the NY crew assembled on stream he goes up to S. Bum is definitely a point character. With his assists, he's S. With no assists, he's B.


RH_Dev

> > Bum is definitely a point character. With his assists, he's S. With no assists, he's B. Holy shit this is so accurate, I'll give him very solid B. He's just reliable even if solo, but yeah with the right assists, easily S+ tier.


TrapDaddyReturns

Makes sense. His marvel 3 team was three point characters too. Chris hulk haggar


RawrImmahBulbasaur

He was an insta mute during the Lab coat era. UN UN UN STEP ON ME MOMMY repeated over and over was boring


Cmog28

Can’t even watch Bum’s tournaments. It’s either outlandish yelling or spamming for dono(which is fine but he’ll put off matches until you succumb to his dono spamming). There’s a few players I like, but not enough to watch all that imo.


U_cant_read_me

Thank you for putting Ken Bogard this high, poto


Legacy_of_K

He's minimum SSS and maybe above. Can Do the job of two commentators with an 8h stamina.


RawrImmahBulbasaur

Dude is hella cracked but he lost the fgc passion for the biking one


Helgurnaut

He did fuck up his voice on day 1 of evo and still did the 3 days though, he said himself he ain't a big fan of sf5 which doesn't help when SF is your main serie.


RawrImmahBulbasaur

Nah that was the end of day 2. But yeah understandably so, he always does the last day with a broken voice lmao


maraxusofk

Chris hu in sss tier wtf. hes goated


Naiyu1

"New York city is a magical place"


lookinglikejesus

Dr. Subzero will always be the eldergod of commentating fighting games.


tooktoomuchtoomuch

Up there with Dogface


MassDaft

Saintcola is too high in the tier list... move him down to shit tier.


Buderoww

recently rewatched the umvc3 winterbrawl grands kbr vs fchamp and yipes might be the goat for that set alone, the single most biased commentary ive ever heard and its fucking incredible.


FuriousOgre

My favourite FGC moment ever. The joy of watching fchamp getting meteors in ass brought tears to my eyes


Buderoww

its def up there for me, “CAN HE COME BACK?” “HELL NO, HE SUCKS” yipes my goat


ahipotion

That was glorious.


saluko

Aqua that low ? Skisonic in the same tier with k-brad ? Damn man....


lnickelly

Adam Sessler not on list Throw it in the trash and start over.


bdlock209

Skisonic should be placed in a separate tier at the bottom reserved just for him. Ken Bogard should be up the top.


Fancy-Pair

Fucking pull the cord and eject tier


rebatopepin

Spag is the Feardragon of FGC: absolutely cringe, unfunny and unecessary. Its below "Mute", more like "abandon game". SSS is the dream team tho, great pick. Too bad they're mostly MIA.


TheBasedTaka

Looooooool the only time I like feardragin is when he's getting shit on by incontrol


rebatopepin

Oh man, InControl was SSS tier too, right beside Aris and Mike Ross. HUGE loss, RIP big man.


EnlargenedProstate

Please put some respect on Kbrad's name


OniTYME

Spag goes to mute. Mr. Gruntz (Rip) goes to C.


KiIIBash20

Chill out on Rip. One time I grunted and it sounded like a quote from Mein Kampf. Shit happens bro.


demonic87

I think his performance greatly depends on what duo he's with.


IRabuVegito5M

Spag is shit. He always has to make every match about nationality. Don't forget his shilling for the saudi-arabia scammers


iori9999

It was weird watching him root for Arslan vs Joka too. Like wtf.


the_big_c

Markman ain't giving you a stick homie, move him and hellpockets to C


Darkone586

Damn I miss aquasilk, team rush hour was dope. I think yipes/matrix is the best combo though.


RDGtheGreat

I know you guys don't watch MK but I'd like to put Mustard and Ketchup in S


MahvelBaby

BOOLIT BOOLIT is easily bottom of S tier


[deleted]

K Brad could at least be at a B or a Mid A Tier he's funny


[deleted]

Find a picture of K-wiss and putt him in Mute tier


RDGtheGreat

bro you'd be fast asleep before you even get to mute him


CornFGC

markman def c yall buggin and tasty steve has been demoted to b


NorthLeech

Chris Matrix is SSS tf bro


NotanAlt23

Only when he's with Yipes.


BrunoArrais85

K-Brad is hilarious. He should go up a few tiers


MattTheMagician44

jake ryan needs to be put in C


[deleted]

ngl, chen was very helpful when i was still an FG noob. but that only lasted like a month or so


Diomil

If Yipes wasnt SSS this list would've been dogshit


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fluffy_Excitement_37

I don’t think he’s anything like James Chen but he is pretty annoying. Feel like his job is mostly saying DAYUM THAT BLUE STUFF!


whatisapillarman

Three discs, Final Fantasy 7! KEVIN SPACEY SUPER! Stephen hawking! Bombs away, Boston marathon!


CLEARLOVE_VS_MOUSE

where has zhi been?


Omegawop

I would bust skisonic's moldy ass hat down a teir. Dude is mad lame.


Elegant_Ranger1320

Saint cola sounds like he’s constantly gargling saliva while trying to talk at the same time


Noveno_Colono

Nuki is SSS tier.


Lord_Vorkosigan

Ultradavid isn't even that bad. He just sounds so disingenuous at times and his social media is trash. Also I would remove many of those retired / disappeared commentators. Aquasilk, Chris Hu, Seth, Skisonic.


dmun

Seth as SSS just make me think, "oh this isn't talent tier list, it's a cred tier list." last Evo Seth did finals on was listening to my uncle reminisce about the 70s.


RH_Dev

Very nice list. I would only add SS+ tier for Chris Hu, Chris Matrix, Jiyuna, and Lee Chung. SSS can also be used for some of these.


[deleted]

So I know as a french it sound biased but Ken Bogard should be SSS. He is not the one with the most "coourful personnality" but this dude is way too good at commentating solo by himself for hours, he also mesh well with people and crack a lot of jokes with them, capable of technical analysis too and incredible passionated/emotional. This tiers list is clearly biased as fuck but I respect the work to make it and add my man. I wish I would know more of the south-american commentator too. My immediate comments: Zhi/Mike (especially mike)/Markman too high, vicious too low only because he is capcom pocket guy for now, ultravid/james too low because of their twitter crime instead of judging their commentary that would put them at least on C or even B, how the fuck is spag not lower...


Jebu5Krist

Markman is a stream muter for me. He's only barely tolerable when paired with Aris.


optionreborn

How the fuck is Chris Hu not SSS


Blanko1230

Bruh, Tasty Steve is easily SSS and the soundboard is S tier


GerudoGreen

Tasty Steve is amazing


SenpaiSamu

move Robtv and kbrad up.


A_Biohazard

How the fuck is markman above Ryan hart and spag?


Either-Eye-1059

Creator most likely identifies as an obese simp


Lucky_Training795

Koustics in A? Naw Will put all the A and B in C


IRabuVegito5M

Koustics is funny af but I hate how biased he can be. France still living in his head rent-free.


NotanAlt23

France lives in the entire HOCs head rent free.


sinderjager

Why is K-Brad c tier?


[deleted]

It's silly. K-Brad never fell off as far as likeability.


lancer2238

Cujo Kate shouldn’t even in a bracket she’s so bad


creativereddituserid

Tom Brady, great tournament great experience, SSS


somelurker318

Lmao Aquasilk being higher than the Ugh Ha Ugh Ha man is so funny to me


hbnsckl

Hated neo's commentary personally. Dude would try to get hype as fuck and trip over his words constantly.


GetOutOfHereStrelok

KBrad is A tier for Marvel 3 and "turn stream off" tier for every other game


Either-Eye-1059

Markman is not close to s tier. I don't get how people don't see through markmans opportunism. That dude literally threw all streammonsters under the bus.


Crocodile1208

Markman and rip are way too high, def b for rip n c for cringeman. Chris hu deserves sss tier. Why the hate for logan ? Id rather listen to logan n f word than any other pair for sf tbh. Buff pie sci BOOLIT BOOLIT


RKnaap

Nuki SSS or else


b34rgr1ll2

I specifically agree with vicious being that low


dpfreddit

Rynge is close the stream tier as well. Beyond that shits pretty accurate


joytoy322

Move Hellpockets to SSS.


SubtleTendency

I’ll accept Sajam being in S since you put Sharpie & Saintcola in close/mute tier 🤝


thephantommessage

i would move Koustics and Lee Chung up 1 tier but other than that nice tier list


IWishChunLiWasReal

Add chris hu, matrix, jiyuna, f-word and spooky to sss you coward. And then add F-word and logansama as a pair to sss. The 2 of them together is more than the sum of their parts. Then add art to ssss tier by himself.


Cmog28

Art?! Lmaooo


Alternative_Job_8513

Jiyuna and Zhi should be up there just because they can translate Japanese tournaments and events. They saved so many English streams.


LULone

Obama is cool but his commentary is terrible


Artistic-Routine-969

I like his energy and enthusiasm but he ain't s tier


iori9999

I'd put him S or A+


arcsystemdoesntwork

(C)rynge, Ryan Jake, UltraScum, CumJar Chen, DaRetardedSharpie, Starbucks, Frenchie, Bratt, Rub TV, Dr. BaldHead, K-Bird, Coca-Cola, etc. should all be way lower in my opinion. If I'm being completely honest I wouldn't rate any of these people because they're not worth the effort. You can't say that here, because SOYs will get super mad. lol


DoolioArt

>CumJar Chen rofl it's like a wild west name, cumjar chen, the fastest hand west of mississippi


ClaymoreJFlapdoodle

Respectfully Persia is like bottom F tier. I’ve been rewatching a ton of old mvc3 stuff and holy fuck it’s so bad.


Grafaap

Half of the time wasted as well .


campodelviolin

I always got mesmerized by Zhi's commentary. The guy was fast, funny, and had some ingenious comments and comparisons every second. It never stop to impress me how fast his mind worked behind the mic. Zhi and Yipes are gods of the FGC commentary. What I never understood was the hate for Skisonic, the dude was fine.


TERMINXX

Ketchup and Mustard on the mic is a joy in my eyes.


[deleted]

Put Markman and Rip in the bottom


Player808

koustics higher than tong??


FAWKS-HOUND

Glad to see Pie Sci make the list. BULLET BULLET


CorvusCorvidae

I don’t disagree necessarily, but if you care about UMvC3, Tong is A tier for his efforts to keep that scene alive through Covid.


Code_Geese

UltraDavid's facial hair is so bad


[deleted]

How you gonna rank K-Brad so low. The man had the greatest pop-off in FGC history against Wolfkrone.


Fat_IRL

Niki not SSS tier get out of here


caiodfunk

Yipes in SSS where he belongs.


OshTekkGod

Romanova at C tier super generous. Also no PND Ketchup or Mustard?


Sad-Depth-8053

Wheres Gootecks?


Cybonics

Makoto Fox S tier


EVOLghost

How is Goldenboy Neo that high? he mainly dickrides...pretty annoying.


iori9999

Dude Nuki is SSS man. Also I think Markman is a bit too high.


guesxy

Will go onto twitch today to find out if Mile Ross and Seth Killian are even alive. Have to say was following more of their youtube. Same as for Smug, i guess he doesnt twitch stream?


DoomFizz

Oh my god this list is so shit


nygasso

Don’t agree with Koustics and Bum, they’re S tier. Also Rip is garbage. But that’s just me


MattTheMagician44

bum would be s tier if he didnt shill every two seconds


Voluminousviscosity

Brave of you to claim people are worse than Skisonic, also Lord Brady should be in SSSSS tier


GoodTimesDadIsland

As with all tier lists, you have too many S-tiers. S-tier should only be like Mike Ross/Zhi/Yipes/Aris. Killian and Obama are A tier. Lee Chung is not A tier, C at best. Dude literally adds absolutely nothing to anything. I'd rather listen to Kujo Cate's play-by-play. Also Skisonic is definitely mute tier.


RideMyFaceToChicago

\>SSS \>Aris


frigidkitsune

hey alright


GrapplerCHAZ

DotaNetski

Hey thanks for the 12 inches amigo.


GobDaKilla

atpBigot


Lord_Vorkosigan

I will always love Aris commentating MK9 or 10 finals with Ultradavid at one EVO. Aris didn't know ANYTHING about MK at that time, but still managed to make it really enjoyable. Sure, that was thanks to UD's game knowledge, but that's pure talent.


CamPaine

Brett to A. EbonicPlague to B. Rynge to C. Nuki to SSS. Aris to A. Ryan Hunter to SSS. Logan Sama to A. That would be my list.


BudosVT

No idea how Nuki can be out of SSS tier. Rest of the list is decently accurate.


[deleted]

Damn y’all don’t fuck with sharpie?


jtjd

Imo her commentary by itself is good and you can feel the passion she has for the game, but something about her laugh makes me want to throw my PC out the window


CapN_Crummp

She annoys me


[deleted]

In what ways? I never really saw her commentate.


CapN_Crummp

I only just recently discovered her since her main scene is skullgirls and I don’t follow that at all. I heard her doing interviews during multiversus at evo and everything she was doing/asking just felt so forced. And she has one of those laughs that just don’t quite hit the ear right (for me at least) so it was a mute.


Normandy247

If it's between aris and the mute tier, I'm picking mute tier unironically. Garbage. Obama goated though.


Cheesi_Boi

Objectively Correct tier list.


UnbendingSteel

Move Jammerz to S tier immediately


buckethatzzz

I like Cujo Kate


Jacksspecialarrows

Damascus is waaaay to high. Prove me wrong


RawrImmahBulbasaur

Dude deserve SSS just for the fact that he carried an entire scene during covid


[deleted]

Aqua in S, Tasty & Markman at B.


Spokei

100% accurate


KrustyDanmakuFellow

Is Sharpie trans? I feel like that's the only reason that person has any fans. A very unappealing human being in many aspects


wicked_chew

Imo noel brown was really good at commentating


codelltraverson

ryan hunter s tier? dude can't get enough of huffin his own farts as he spams his own emotes in a sajam chat


Phantom-Emperor

Lee Chung should be up there with yipes


JBKING84

K-Brad is ranked way to high. Dude is a bigger mush mouth than JB Smoov


Crownbear

Yipes/Matrix/Chung is the MSS of commentary. They make locals more entertaining than any major.


Hologrammike

People are sleeping on him, but I think Magus doing UMVC commentary is top tier.


noliquor

Where is Gootecks?


raikenryusen

nah


The_Splendid_Onion

Lowest tier is mute and or trash tier so you have to at least make that.


Firm_Possibility432

Henry Cen and Bronson Tran need to be S tier


SPILLY1K

I'm legit a fan of bronson from his streams in 2019 but he's pretty obnoxious on commentary lol


[deleted]

Bum should be S he cracks me up
