This is a relatively old video, but since FP isn't really full of fighting game buffs, I thought I might share a piece of fighting game history.
The two combatants, Clockwork and GoldenBoyNeo, put 15,000 USD out of their own pockets on the line in this first to 15 wins money match. What ensued is heralded as one of the most exciting sets in fighting game history.

Yes, it is totally normal if you can't tell what's going on for the first 20 minutes.
The one sided commentary and crowd make me pretty sick. Throwing ice at the dude? Come on.

While i agree that the crowd should be more liberal or at least less disrespectful with who they support and do not support and how they show it, It's completely not uncommon for the crowd and commentators in fighting games to be bias, especially in this case where Neo is younger, less-experienced and cockier player whereas Clock is the respected veteran who innovated a team of lesser used characters and became successful in a game where only 3 or 4 characters are actually considered viable competitively.
It's also worth noting that some players feed off the negative energy the crowd and commentators throw at them, most notably Filipino Champ who played off of the crowd's boo's at EVO 2 years ago mocking the crowd while he just barely beat the underdog who the audience where very much behind to become that year's champion.
