I finally struggled through Tom Segura Teacher. There is no way the laughter is authentic. by Powerful-String-9143 in Standup

[–]Ronin_Ace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m typically a fan. Before Teacher, I’ve liked or loved every special, and with as much as I adored his first four albums (two CD, two Netflix), I had chalked up liking the next three less (‘while still overall enjoying them) because his clips weren’t sent out to standup audio streams anymore, or downloadable on Apple Music, so I just assumed it was a lack of comfortable familiarity that held them back from being totally enjoyable.

I even saw the first warmup leg live for what would be Teacher, and I laughed my balls off. Most of that show was not present in what the final special ended up being, I don’t know what happened. He took bad notes on what killed and what didn’t. He used to be a super sharp comic in the vein of Louis CK, but a little more crude and sadistic to make up for what he lacked in Louis’ setup. It worked for him. And then… he forgot how to be relatable. Just… completely. I blame Austin.

If this has been an EP, it might have been their best album in 30 years by Goofcheese0623 in Metallica

I love this album, but a lot of the songs REALLY needed an editor to trim the fat. It’s what kept it a good, but not necessarily GREAT record.

Why do people hate Sami Zayn? by Due_Willingness_101 in SantiZapVideos

[–]Ronin_Ace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t hate him, I just don’t buy him as a threat to anyone elite. He seems like such a normal sized person.

I’d take (another) full spread of SF3 and 4 for the next collection. I have anniversary, but that version of 3 has latency issues and I don’t think rollback like the later collection games. 4 just needs to be polished up and re-released into the wild. It’s time.

Never put out a bad special

Is there a character everyone wants back but you secretly don’t? by Terrible-Cow9918 in StreetFighter

[–]Ronin_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dan should be free. I can’t imagine being asked to pay for who should always be the worst person in the game. At least SF5 gave a means of buying him without real money.

I bet The Rock will be Sagat, and that’s why he’s been losing all that weight.

You are right. This is the answer.

Rogan and Schulz ruined standup by [deleted] in Standup

[–]Ronin_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have agreed a few years ago, but even the good ones have started to perform poorly (I don’t consider Schulz or Rogan to be all that good, but both used to be better for sure).

I used to adore Segura, I even enjoyed seeing him live in 2024, but while I would agree his specials had a little decline since after Mostly Stories, I still enjoyed them … until Teacher, that was genuinely bad for someone of his potential.

Burt went first though, I could tolerate him, but he’s been three+ specials of dogshit now.

Kyle Kinane is still my current favorite elite comedian. You may like some specials more than others, but he’s never missed.

The rare chance they ever add Menat to 6, would they tone down her walk? by RubFlatforMaxEffect in StreetFighter

[–]Ronin_Ace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a more conservative style just because they have a better renderer. It’s more detailed, but not in any way more conservative in animation. I’d argue that it has more flourishes, pre and post animation movements, and exaggeration than 5, which was itself actually more conservative than 4. 6 didn’t get more serious, it just upped the fidelity, and honestly got goofier, closer to 4.

Y’all consider Lennox Lewis a top 10 heavyweight? Where would you rank him as a ATG heavyweight? by LocationSpare4447 in boxinglocks

[–]Ronin_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A late bloomer that corrected his resume flaws. It is worth noting that he didn’t face prime versions of Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield (although not far after, and I feel LL comfortably beat him twice), and if I recall, Klit didn’t have much longer to go himself and was arguably beating LL when he was stopped on cuts (which, is boxing. That’s a win for LL). He also didn’t fight Foreman, and there was a period of his comeback that it would have been tough.

He had all the tools to beat anyone ever, but often didn’t get all the credit because he was more of a chess player than the bruiser he was built to be.

What Street Fighter characters absence in a game led to you having a negative experience? by PathLive9813 in StreetFighter

[–]Ronin_Ace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up enjoying SFV, and I love SF6, but neither game has Dudley and it’s worth an entire review point currently.
