"#3 on the list [of who's trash in SFV]: YOU. #2: YOU. #1: YOU." Also never forget he beat a TAS bot. Kbrad & Gootecks telling him to run with the points, Mike went "I'm running with the points!… AFTER I TAKE THEM AGAIN." That moment was so godlike

@@sunzet4640 He was the cool guy even back then, wtf are you talking about? He's always had connections. Maybe you don't play fighting games, but getting upset is literally part of the culture, nobody sits there and says "oh thank you good sir for the defeat, please may I have another?", you say "your mom is fat and you suck", that's just how it is.

@sunzet4640 4 ай бұрын

@@s133p3r0 It's not that he wasn't a guy with connections, I'm saying compared to everyone else that was a big name that he worked with, he was immature and made a fool of himself a pretty good number of times, especially the fact that lots of people never wanted to ever watch him play, they watched him for his personality and his rage. He was always just sub-par. Compared to Justin Wong here, I watch Modern Justin because he's always been Justin Wong. I don't watch modern Mike Ross because up until recently, he was Mike Ross

@s133p3r0 4 ай бұрын

@@sunzet4640 Justin Wong is a try hard, he always play top tiers though. Sounds like a personal problem, the channel was literally about him playing the game. Nobody wants to watch a "mature" fighting game player, if I wanted that I could just take an ambien. It's not impressive for me to see someone who plays 8 hours a day and uses only broken stuff to win. It's impressive to see a "normal" player beat those types of people.
