LowTierGod/viscant-saga

Shortly after Street Fighter IV's release, Viscant and Dale would have a match online which Viscant would roughly lose, he and LTG traded various tweets criticizing each other, with Dale calling him the worst example of gamers, and with Viscant suggesting he go by a name that would later become a widely used way to mock LTG: “Black DSP.” In a later video, Dale would go on to use Viscant as the prime example of why most gamers are single, and only three days afterward, Wednesday Night Fights organized a grudge match between the two on October 21st, 2014. It’s honestly up for debate how much of this was genuine hatred between the two and how much of it is just hype or fuel for more drama in the post-match period, but it isn’t a good showing for either of them, much like “grudge matches” in general, unless it’s done in an intentionally dramatic way to drum up entertainment, and not because two grown adults actually feel this strongly about each other over silly inflammatory tweets. Dale, or more appropriately LTG, was seen in his earlier years in the FGC as something of a “heel,” someone who intentionally talked trash under the pretense of “inspiring” the good-guy opponent to win through skill and determination, and so on, but it’s clear that this was, at best, only partly true, and the rest was simply how he actually felt.

It's the battle of the century!

The Match

The match was a first to 10, with Viscant playing Bison and LTG playing Rolento. The opening round goes about as expected, with both players attempting to feel out each other’s playstyles and characters, and LTG holding a slight advantage since Bison is such a popularly used character, though it would be Viscant who takes the first game, before LTG switches to Rose and claims the second. Although it’s covered in greater depth elsewhere, LTG’s early-match playstyle deserves a mention, because he insists on spamming projectiles for chip damage, which can actually kill in this game unlike in SFV, and Bison is notorious for having some of the most worst defensive tools of the entire cast.

The match would trade wins back and forth until Viscant takes the lead at 4-3 before stretching it to 6-3, at which point LTG switches to Poison, of which he would have better luck with, and closes the gap to 6-5, prompting Viscant to swap over to Blanka instead, which, as the commentators in the match note, is a favorable match-up for Viscant. After the match reaches 7-5 in Viscant's favor, LTG would again switch back to Rolento though he would again switch back to Rose when the score turns 9-6 of which LTG would not win before Viscant is declared the winner of the grudge match.

Post-match Period

There's gonna come a point where you forget about what happened... And you're gonna want to come back at me... And you're gonna want to wash the taste of my DICK outta your mouth!

Viscant, post-match interview.

Despite Viscant being the more experienced and better-known Marvel vs. Capcom player, he took LTG by four matches while switching characters only twice, compared to Dale’s five switches. And even though, as stated earlier, it’s ambiguous as to which of the two started the engagement first, the only reason this stretch of LTG’s online “career” has stuck with him at all is that his mentality, for the most part, hasn’t changed since then: he’s still aggressive, and he’s still obsessed with posing as a tough guy who just happens to be good at fighting games, all while he keeps making threats toward people online. It’s understandable why he didn’t save face in the post-match interview, but, contrary to what Viscant claimed, there never came a point where LTG forgot about what happened.
