DarksydePhil | FGC HISTORY 

"I myself, am a former pro fighting game player."

I have a first-hand Phil story. I was at a 3rd Strike tournament in Virginia at an old venue called C3. It was 2008, the year there was no Evo East. It was around Top 32 or Top 16 and I had to play Phil. He beat me with Chun, 2-0, and before I could even shake his hand and say "good game", he yanked his plug out of the PS2 and said "welp, that was fun" and just left. He beat some unknown kid from New York and felt so good about himself. Also, that footage you used in the beginning of Phil blowing up at someone calling his match was from my tournament, East Coast Throwdown, in 2009. He was nothing but trouble. The tournament was fucking terribly ran (we've since improved, 9 years later haha), but he refused to ever make an effort to go play his matches. He would sit at casual stations until someone literally went over to him and directed him where to go. ECT1 was extremely stressful and was our first foray into running a regional, weekend-long event, but he was a complete asshole the entire weekend.

Just the amount of DSP meme channels on youtube and the fact that some of them get more views than his own channel is a true testament to his legacy *lol*

Cartman in real life

is that why Viscant called LTG the black DSP? makes sense now

So basically what I get from this is that Viscant is an awesome dude.

WHY AM I TOXIC?

I despise DSP. I'm a proud detractor

I love how even in his 20s Phil looked like a chubby adult baby.

Holy hell, that pic of Viscant... Just shows what a 9-5 slaving for the man for 15 years can do to a brother FeelsBadMan

Viscant destroyed darksydephil and lowtiergod lmao

This seems like a pretty good first episode for a new series. Looking forward to the next episodes and seeing how you refine your individual style. Keep up the good work, cant wait for episode 2

My guilty pleasure is coming home from work and watching DSP salt videos it just makes my day someone is so mad all the time lol.

“Phil was rather shook.”

Do Low Tier God next.

his "lots of videos" are just his streams cut every 10 minutes and thrown in youtube.

This is far and away an incredibly centered piece about this time in the DSP lore. Thanks for your work. Narration and presentation are quite commendable.

You sir deserve more subscribers, I've known about DSP for years now and gotta say you taught me few things, I hope to see more great videos from you man

dam.. viscant is a trooper. even after dsp calls him out of his name, antagonizes him, challenges him to a fight and pokes at him for months, he STILL defused the situation of those guys wanted to kick dsp's ass. That's being humble at its finest an ima strive to be like that.

3:30 Viscant? The same Viscant that Low Tier God came at?

I absolutely love this! I am so subscribed. I love FGC history and watching and learning about it. DSP is a great way to get attention for a first episode.

Man that Jazzy NYC remix!

“The Notorious DSP” has a ring to it, not gonna lie

I'm glad this video popped up in the recommended list, awesome stuff!

Damn, good work on getting 400+ subs on your first video :P That's quite an achievement. I look forward to more videos of yours

Please make more of these videos-- they are so good, and there's so much history people don't know!

I had to subscribe. I enjoy people explaining FGC history of there Players. Keep it up my dude.

You know Phil is going to try and sweep this under the rug, or make some lame ass speech about "I had to leave the FGC, I outgrew it from being on RU-vid!"

So Viscant is some sort of superhero is what I get from all this? Lmao

Awesome channel dude. Nice and short info about some of the bigger FGC things that have happend. Hope you keep it up! :D

Wow great new channel! Keep up the great work. Theres so much in regards to the history of the fgc. I hope you continue with more videos, cheers!

God, I wish your channel and this video had more attention. Keep up the great work.

Sharing on my twitter!

Damn DSP immortalized in a documentary... never thought I’d see the day.

Just Subscribed, these vids are so Chill to watch and being informed at the same time, keep up the good work dude👍🏽

You do very good work from this video's example, hope you are well and life treats you well Finch. I got this as a recommended vid when I signed in today and was curious to see what someone who complies vids and tidbits about that fgc thought of him.

Smooth commentary, liked the BGM, thoroughly enjoyable topic. Thank you for the 9:30!

I just subscribed. This series seems like it's going to be awesome. I just started getting seriouse about fighting games over the last year so this is cool to use to get my bearings on the communities history.

Remember when Phil said he got buff cause he used to work out all the time? We can tell it was a complete lie as when he was younger, he was a string bean then he became a fat beggar.

It's the guy, he wins tournaments with 4th place!

I enjoyed your format and voice. Would like to see more of your content in the future.

Yo you should make more of these man oh my god this was JUICY info. Also liked it alot lol. XanCan't wait for episode 2

Trying to get people to fight you at gaming conventions because they said things. The few, the proud, the marines.

This is a well done video. I’d be interested to see some more FGC history videos.

Wow, this is really damn interesting and very professional Keep it up man :)

Great series dude. Looking forward to more.

well researched and well made. you got a future on this site buddy, just keep up the videos and you'll grow in no time.

Amazing content, looking forward for more!

This is great! I would definitely love more!

" Phil was rather Shook " 4:41 my fav line of this whole thing!!!!

5:16 AM, watching videos about DSP. What has my life come to?

I super love the use of the skullgirls soundtrack in these vids. Good shit dood.

*_"I mYsElF aM a FoRmEr pRo FiGhTiNg GaMe PlAyEr"_*

Really like the vid! Would love to see more of these please!

This was good! Hope you do more!

Love the videos! Looking forward to more

This video have early 2000s energy for some reason,man I miss early 2000s so much...

The Maplecrest theme suddenly starting scared me lol, good vid

I'm not trying to take the piss out of your voice but you sound like Bird Person from Rick and Morty.

That man is a huge fraud he doesn't even understand frame data. All he does is press buttons...

Excellent video :) well edited and I see this is your first! Gave a subscribe, hope to see you do more!

Great content, looking forward to more

The Lives We Left Behind is pretty good both as a track and title for what Phil has done to himself over the last decade

We need an episode on Viscant boii

Yooooo I hear I'm fine 2013 in the background, great music choices my man

Good video. Captures Phil perfectly

Oh wow, great first video man. I really liked it.

Good video dude, it's okay to have an ego, but Phil on the other hand, he didn't keep his ego in check. That's why he's getting so much hate.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO AN EPISODE ON THE MARVEL 3 EVO GHOST WHO GOT ESCORTED OFF STAGE BY SECURITY AFTER GRAND FINALS

Please tell me there will be a Chris G episode.

Subbed. Keep these coming, us new-gens need this info 😂

Weird. I always thought a scrub was a guy who thought he was fly; also known as a "buster". He'd always talk about what he wants while he sat on his broke ass. Great video!

Wow...a thin DSP and Justin Wong......

your use of skullgirls music gives me life thank you

Wow, incredibly well made. I was always wondering about the basis for his bragging.

The voice is great, and unlike a majority of people, you don't just play his videos. You give great commentary. I hope to see and hear more from you. Also, 69. Giggity.

holy shit, tysm. for some reason I've been having a lot of LTG videos in my recommends and I've seen so many comments calling him the 'black dsp' - never knew who he was until your video... lol anyways tysm, just subbed. hope you make another video this year :) if not see you in 2020

"im not a childrens entertainer!"

This makes me like Viscant even more. Great video though!

I freaking love these videos 😆

Awesome series please keep on

Great mini documentary! If I could give some constructive criticism (I know this is several months old so you might have fixed this already), your interview/sound byte cutaways often end abruptly mid-sentence to silence. I found that distracting. Anyways, keep up the good work!

Meeting phil at sgc was a pretty interesting experience...

so, just wondering, would this be a sort of series on just the lessons learned from FGC players, or will there also be contrasting topics, examples of people who are a positive influence in the crowd? whatever the case may be, I'll definitely be keeping tabs, here's to finding some good history to look back on for the current gen to learn from!

Seeing the old pics of the pros makes me feel young af lmao the grandpas mane, it’s a new age.

i hope you make more FGC history my man also nier music awesome

sorry i say fucking so much

Excellent video!

When is more coming out?! Please do one about LTG

Your nice, keep making nice stuff, thanks

Excellent video, very true. Thanks.

On a positive note, why not talk about Alex valle next episode? He is one of the oldest members of the FGC so it would be cool to learn about him. Good video. Subbed

"*ADDENDUM* Phil won EVO West in 2006, EVO East in 2007" Where did you get that information? I can't find anything to support it.

Great video. Keep them coming. We need more stuff like this.

This feels like a rehash of Knudsens Down the Rabbit Hole

Wait, so Phil has NEVER won a tourney? Yet he flaunts he's "número uno" in all the United States?

Dark dude Phil has to be the funniest and most entertaining man in all of Internet culture, period

I wish you'd make more of these.

Poor Viscant, very cool dude having to deal with 2 out of the 3 all time biggests LoLcows ever. DSP and black DSP.

Great video mate. Pity you didn't make more. Or did you go another route with another channel?
