Please excuse the wordy subject title.

So this guy has been a massive jackass for a while now. You may remember him as the guy wearing a MAGA hat that Sonic Fox clowned on and popped off on during one of the early Soul Calibur 6 tournaments.

He has been part of the Soul Calibur competitive scene for several games and was just generally regarded as a troll that people mostly ignored. At least until now...

He decided to share some stuff on Twitter that well known tournament organizer, and general good dude "The Hadou" took notice of:

And here's Rick's response.

“@OOFMATIC You’re right, words can have multiple meanings. Take for instance the words in your tweet, collectively they mean you’re no longer welcome at Combo Breaker. We’ll be refunding your entry later today. Enjoy netplay.”

EDIT: Sorry for the incomplete thread. Typing this up on mobile is a pain.

EDIT 2: Banned from Final Round as well.

Yeah I saw this earlier. I do not, under any circumstance, understand why people complain about not being able to say fucking slurs. If you're that uninteresting of a person that you need to kick at specific groups, you're a loser.

"People shouldn't complain when I use words that are used to hurt them" has always been a wild fucking take.

Among other things, Oof plays up being a Flat Earther when he shows up at tournies. Is it actually a high level troll or is he actually just that ignorant? After a certain point, it really doesn't matter, does it?

Yeah, that's the thing. Some people used to write it off as him trolling it up to play a character, but at this point, it really doesn't matter. Troll or legit, the guy is a fuckin tool.

TheHadou is consitently the best person in the FGC. I really hope the coronavirus doesn't make him go bankrupt if Combo Breaker has to cancelled

People who defend this stuff will be dragged kicking and screaming into the future as fewer and fewer people put up with it.

Pretty stupid to say this shit when people in the FGC are trying to make it a more diverse and welcoming community. Loved the responde, "Enjoy Netplay" is such a sick burn.

Good to see him being taken to task, and that response by the TO was straight up deadly. Haven't heard of this troll before, but it's always a good time to see assholes get put in their place.

it roughly means staying at home and playing against people via the internet. and with fighting games, a lot of their net code just isn't good for high level competitive play. It'll never be as good as playing someone locally

And with SCVI specifically, there's the added issue of the matchmaking being terrible and wildly inconsistent.
