Nothing hits me harder than seeing Mike Ross happy and enjoying fighting games. Xian really brings out his goofy side

mike is hands down the best personality in the FGC

combos, he still hits 'em, resets, he still got those

Its honestly incredible how funny Xian is considering that English is his second language I assume. My favorite episode so far.

"That's not a book for you Mike, that's a book for me." Goddamn, had me dyin'.

I think this is the most fun we've seen Mike have in YEARS with this set. Great stuff!

The last 20 seconds of this video made me wonder about the past 15 years of FGC. What a masterpiece.

The best send off SF4 could have asked for. 10/10

I dont know that i missed SFIV so much , this game + mike ross is a match made in heaven

"The Will To Start Winning" - a book by Xian, in honor of Mike Ross. Page 1: "Get good." What a great writer Xian will be.

Wow I didn't realize just how much I miss this game - this was the most I've enjoyed watching Street Fighter in ages. Thanks guys

Fighting games with solid trash talk is an unparalleled gaming experience.

God watching these 2 play SF4 reminds me of their amazing episodes of Excellent Adventures. Much love guys, keep it up!

As someone who was very ready for SFIV to be done by the end of its life cycle, this was still hype as heck and had me grinning along the whole time. Mike and Xian's chemistry is great.

This was Mike's EVO moment

Mike: What book should I read?! Xian: I will write a book and you can read it next time. The Will to Start Winning. I’m dead. 😂

Oh I have MISSED Mike Ross. Watching him play and hearing him laugh is pure joy and one of the main reasons I got into Competitive SF 10 something years ago...

'that is not a book for you - that is a book for ME' is masterclass. I love these two together.

I had a smile the whole time! Watching Xian and Mike play with the best version of their characters on a FT5 was a special treat!

When Mike said he was going to choose his best character I knew Sagat was coming out, but part of me wanted him to fake everyone out by choosing Makoto so I could hear him say one last time "Yo check out how sick my Makoto is!".

2:35 mike saying he never touched omega, but i remember those episode of excellent adventures where they tried to play ONLY omega online. And it was hype...

"The Will to Keep Winning", that's not a book for you, Mike. That's a book for me. A book for you.. I will write you a book, Mike. It's called "The Will to Start Winning". That really got me, Xian is godlike.

they both act so surprised, but they both fell right back into sf4 strings and combos. so good

This channel is a blessing. I truly hope these videos will continue for years to come (even if not as regular) and that maybe they'll even have some guests on.

Thank you for all this free entertainment, plz have my virtual appreciation!

Mike and Xian on SF4 is a tonic for life dude.

I couldn't watch a whole SFV match for my life but I could watch SFIV for hours! Congrats on Mike "Mike Ross" Ross for his retirement EVO-level win! Best Honda in the world (you can't beat Floe's T.Hawk, tho)

I'm coming to realize something about watching SFIV that I've become weirdly nostalgic for it. Mike and Xian playing it definitely helps though, cause it's that kind of energy that I've really missed with it too.

I was hit by nostalgia and though : let me go check on miek russ ans see what hes up to. And what i got was Xian and Mike playing sf4 and having fun like the good old days, thanks to eveyone who was involved in making the video!

Mike playing sf4, my teenage heart is on fire. This is exactly what the world needs

In all of excellent adventures, we never got a Gootecks vs Mike Ross episode. This is awesome! This show is getting better n better!

Xian's trash talk is next level 😂 Definitely will buy the will to start winning

Xian's bit at the end had me dead

9:27 That "no wayyyy" has me in stitches xD Xians absolute disbelief of Mikes ability to untiair took his breath away

Love this episode. Ever since health problems occurred I have massive amnesia and dissociation, and can't remember stuff in my life. But watching this stuff jogged my memories of a better more healthy time. Everything they referenced was a small spike in memory from better times, from Daigo 5-0, to Xian winning EVO, to Woshige popping off prematurely. 10:45 + 16:45 Haha gotta love the empty jump low classic. I would do this all the time as well. Forgot that existed. 30:30 Omg I missed that slick move Xian tried to pull and was wondering wtf Mike was on about. Scumbag Xian

Honestly, this and the last video are my favorite fgc moments for a while now.

Mike Ross just keeps getting better with the years, honestly this games were really good.

Xian at the end! That was sick great try and the scumbag switch but that focus crush into ultra made me do a irl pogchamp. Thank you both the FGC needs you two!

It’s great to return to SF4 with Mike for a bit. Thanks for playing it again, guys.

Good lord I remember watching Mike on the good old days especially his match at Shadowloo Showdown against Mago and seeing him play SFIV again is something I didn't know was missing in my life thanks so much for the upload😂

Havent been this engaged, laughing through a whole video Ive watched in a long time. This was almost as fun for me as it obviously was for yall 😊

Seeing new Street Fighter 4 content in 2023 is the dream. Love this and it felt so wholesome and fun to watch!!! LOVED THIS

you're making me happy playing this old game together.

Watching Mike and Xian play together makes me smile. Good set

This gotta be the most fun i had watching a fighting match in a long time. Thanks Xian and Miek Russ

Xian always bringing that top notch og fgc trash talk, love these boys

Mike Ross playing Street Fighter IV? Against Xian? This is like the best parts of 2012 again. Thank you both!

Such a nostalgia fuelled episode. Takes me back to my carefree days taking my fightstick to my buddy's house for a weekend of SFIV

As I watch this, My wife just asked me “what are you laughing at over there?” This is such great content.

The return of Mike "Check this out" Ross!

Not much content more enjoyable than watchin Mike Ross play Street Fighter IV with a camera and a mic on him.

Xian and Mike are hilarious. I started dying when Xian said "That's not the book for you Mike" 😂😂😂

Mike being back for SF6 is how you know this game is going to be a banger

This is too good, thank God Mike started making content again❤

This is the best video ive seen in years 😂❤ thanks Xian & Mike, love watching sf4

This is the best FGC content in a long time.

Haven’t had this much fun watching a street fighter match in a while. Love both these guys

The best videos are when you can see how happy mike ross is.

"I've never touched Omega" - Mike Ross Dude purged that Excellent Adventures episode from his memory banks. Lol

You can see Mike always playing with HEART! and it's really evident here.

Seeing this actually made me realize how much i miss sfiv. Just loved all the options and combo routes you had.

Yo, we got Mike back in a "sit on a couch and play fighting games" channel????? Subscribed instantly.

This is the best street fighter content I've seen in years!

So glad to see Mike back, this pairing has made my month

Man this is peak entertaiment right here and i love it, thank you guys

Missed you Mike. Don't quit SF4. We need the sundays adventures back🕹️

This set was awesome! Hype af, very funny, and seeing Mike having such a good time was the cherry on top

I just watched the ESGN match these guys are still the same OG's

I could watch these two play SF6 together non-stop. As an '08er, I absolutely needed this video. I hope Mike and Xian keep this going.

The fact that Xian is the troll of this group is amazing.

That was the best set I have ever watch I'm not even kidding what a great fun match had me smiling the entire time

This was such a great episode! Mike Ross and Xian’s chemistry remains undefeated! I loved seeing you two playing a classic. Keep up the great content you two, I’m all in on the vortex!

Man I love these guys, fgc content is so diluted with the same old subject and clickbait on every channel and here’s 2 guys having fun and mocking each other playing games. This is exactly the content I love to see

Xian English is the best to listen to “you saw that mike” 😂😂❤

This is gold guys !! Brings back OG videos of Mike Ross doing his thing 🙌🏾🤝

This was a great send off for arguably the best competitive Street Fighter games, by two of the most entertaining players!

Ending the video on that book joke felt like how a 90's sitcom would roll to credits. This episode was hilarious! I'm excited to see your upcoming SF6 content.

I can’t describe how happy it makes me to see Mike enjoying himself. This is comfort watching at its finest

It is so refreshing to watch some Mike Ross SFIV Honda!

My favorite episode fellas!!🏅🏅🏅💪🏿💪🏿🤣🤣

Seeing this video and being able to watch mike and xian playing sf4 made my day.

Mike is GODLIIIIIKE!

I remember watching these guys over a decade ago. Mike “I truly believe I haven’t lost a single step in this.” And Mike hasn’t changed at all lol 😂

Watching you two play the characters that you are known for is a treat. SFIV is what got me into watching the FGC. Thank you. Keep up the amazing content!

SFIV Mike Ross puts a smile on my face :)

This is probably the greatest video so far. And they've all been fantastic. My new favorite youtube channel.

I literally smiled the entire video.

had a wide ass smile on my face the entire time i was watching this i still remember watching all the sf4 and super street fighter 4 tournament matches 10+ years ago and then discovering all the fgc channels at the time which included excellent adventures just love seeing these guys play and have fun

Gen is the reason i started following Xian around, That old man is my favorite fighting game character ever, i am SO INCREDIBLY PASSIONATE about him lol.

It's lovely to see again you playing with Gen! I remember in 2013 when i watched the Evo stream as a teenager, here from Recife-Brazil; awaiting the victory for one of my favorite characters. Even in Alpha 3 you should try him, he's also much versatile and strong there. Sometimes we got those gifts on seeing top players returning to old games, as Daigo is doing in Alpha 3 at May 20, for example. 👏

"people got mad at my jumps cause my jumps are so good" fucking mike ross he's too good. this was the funniest most wonderful shit i've seen in a gooood while. 13:35 Xian VISIBLY SHOOK by Mike Ross' E. Honda. I never thought I'd see that

I was a fan of excelente adventures and stopped watching at first when V came and truly when the pandemic hit. This brings me so many memories and so much joy to see Mr. Mike "Mike Ross" Rossintom back at it and having fun. thanks

Holy moly I didn’t know mike Ross was on the scene again… life is good!

Excellent episode, thanks for the feels. Recreated some classic moments.

Xian learned not to mess with an OG this day.

Great episode. Awesome synergy and hella fun to watch.

Seeing this 10 months later and it makes me so happy. Need more.

This was so sick, Xian's BAC and book title made me laugh so much.

This was amazing , love you guys !

What a great episode, good job guys! Keep up the good work
