This is my least favorite Birdie episode. In fact, it might be my least favorite episode of Sundays with Sagat altogether. So why am I posting it? Well, thus far, quite a few of my least favorite episodes from this series have gotten positive responses, so who am I to decide if you get to see it or not? Who am I to decide if anything that I produce is good or bad? It's up to you to make that verdict.

There are a couple of things that I do like about the video though; the music is pretty awesome, and after an inappropriate fit of rage, Birdie suddenly reveals why he's so homophobic and fem-phobic. Aaaaand... that's it. Other than those two things, I have no use for this episode. I hope Birdie dies in a fire.

Sundays with Sagat: What's a videogame for?

Sundays with Sagat: Mario 64 Vs. Mario Galaxy

Sundays with Sagat: The Hardcore/Comedy Conundrum

Sundays with Sagat: Uncharted 2

Sundays with Sagat: Redefining "Hardcore Vs. Casual"

Sundays with Sagat: Guest Starring Birdie

Sundays with Sagat: What's in a name?

Sundays with Sagat: Final Fantasy

Sundays with Sagat: Grand Theft Auto V Casting Call

Sundays with Sagat: Alan Wake, Depression, and Meows

Sundays with Sagat: How about a shower? Sound good?

Heeeeeee-larious. I think you are on to something: your disfavor with any given episode is inversely proportional to how awesome it truly is.

You say it's the least favorite? Could have fooled me! The music was also excellent.

Birdie would flip his shit if he ever played Steel Battalion with the original controller.

You're description of the 100 button controller reminds me of the keyboard argument that PC gamers use all the time.

I agree. You don't need 12 buttons to be good. BUT, ho boy... shortcuts make the life so much easy.

Anyway, the Pacman stuff is hilarious.

i don't really know what the point of the video was, but the fact remains, tats v cap is (currently) the best game in the vs series. mostly due to the reduction of buttons. i'm hoping that they go with four button controls for m vs c 3, but they'll probably keep the controls from m vs c 2.

@ultor
i think you may be right, steel battalion had buttons for the sake of having more buttons. half of them were only used to start up your mech.

@Brlito:

You may've also noticed the series is called Sunday's With Sagat, yet it isn't posted on Sundays, and a good deal of the time, isn't starring Sagat. And grammar is your issue? Yeah I think Ganjookie hit it on the head.

Anyways, this is my favorite episode yet Holmes XD and it seems I'm not alone in this assessment. So, it goes without saying, you should always do what you don't want to do to entertain us. DANCE, DAAAAAAAANCE!

I like how Birdie is the polar opposite of Sagat in Videogame... i don't know, philosophy? I don't know what else to call it.

if you keep in mind the fact that there's nothing really interesting being said here, this is absolutely hilarious. the accent totally makes this video.

If I were playing your game Birdie I would only need one button... that "Super Attack Blazing Rainbow Twat Pussy Attack" button. All other buttons would be superfluous.

You are too god-damned hard on yourself. I found it quite funny. The one-hundred-button controller and the argument about 'kids entertainment' were my favorite moments. I love Birdie when he's incorrect to the point of being insane (which is most of the time). I love Birdie, is what I'm saying.

@ Brlito- I made a typo. Oops. Though now I'm thinking "Sunday's with Sagat" would be a better title anyway.

Sometimes typos provide the world with wonderful things. If it weren't for typos, we wouldn't have "pwned", now would we?

@ Fergus- Did someone touch your balls?

@ bobyoko- I think the point of the video is that Birdie wanted to tell you what he thinks of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

@ Everyone who likes this series- Thank you! Are you going to PAX? If so, we'll be premiering an episode there that will "change everything". We've got two episodes to go before that happens. I don't hate either of those episodes that much, so hopefully you'll enjoy them. Or maybe not.

I DON'T KNOW I'M CONFUSED

@ audiosnag- Yeah, and Birdie is going to be pissed when he hears about Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.

Oh thank God someone said it!, i'm damn tired of people bitching about games not being core enough due to simplified controls, i can understand if it's too much like Ubisoft's one-button-does-all-case but TvC? bullshit, i swear i'm gonna ROFLMAO madly if MvC3 has that control scheme and then i'm gonna puke of the hypocrisy overdose from the very whiners lapping up Capcom's decision to make things simpler.

On a sidenote, i love Birdie's over-the-top-hardcore-gamer character, keep him around even if it is for an ep once in a while, it's a fun way to deliver the same message and a nice chance of pace and on that note if you want to give Felicia a whole ep for herself i won't complain, just remember to add some subs for those of us not versed on felinise.

@ EdgyDude- There is talk of Fridays with Felicia, or something along those lines. It would probably be a monthly thing instead of weekly. We'll see. I'm not sure everyone involved will be up for it.

And MvC3 does have the same basic layout as TvC, except the fourth button does a little bit more than just tag. My understanding is that people are already bitching about it, "three buttons is for babies why did they ruin it?" sort of stuff, and always from people that haven't even played the game yet.

@ Luco- Huh. That's weird, because people that regularly like this series said that this was a pretty good episode.

Who's opinion should I value, theirs or yours?

"Everyone knows for a video game to be good, it's got to have at least six attack buttons." *shows seven fingers, corrects self, then back to seven*

Whether that was intentional or not, I couldn't stop laughing. Sagat can be hit or miss for me personally, but Birdie gets me every time.
