The best part is that mike can’t talk back to xian, because xian is better than him lol. They both know that, xian is laughing and mike Ross is trying to not cry while laughing.
Xian's pop off after he did lvl 2 into lvl 1 made me laugh so much for some reason. I don't know why, but when I watched him play in SF IV days, I never imagined he would be such a funny trash talker. He always seemed so serious. But his sarcasm is like razor sharp. Probably where the cuts on Mike's hands really came from, lol.
Mike Ross being back is the best thing to happen to youtube in years. Xian amd Mike combo is perfect and its pulling me back into fgc content after ignoring it during the SF5 years.
I can't believe Mike busted open his hand playing Gief. When all that it takes to play Gief is 32:26 . As we can see, Mike Ross never left. He's always been this dedicated god of a player.
@@davidcrespo6881 If there's two buffs I'd like Zangief to get, it's make his Level 1 more reliable and make his lariat (or at least the OD version) hit behind him.
@@dxbrasky Gootecks is... not the same dude at all. I mean I'm not exactly up to speed on the situation, but look it up. There's a reason the "pog face" emoji got banned from twitch.
17:29-17:32 is a reference to deejay’s usf4 “buff” to his cl hp. Patch notes said that cl hp now forces stand, but some people found out it doesn’t hit crouching in the first place 🤣
That is a reference I never thought I would hear. At 22:10 Mike makes a The Outsiders(book and movie) reference. I don't remember the Karate Kid being the one who played Ponyboy though in the movie.
It's 5 am and I'm still awake watching my fav SF duo body some noobs in game. It's going to be a great day! Also, random suggestion, maybe Mike might wanna try the Gladiator girl, Marisa? I mean she seems like she's actually insane. Or maybe he should just spam like Xian did... I still can't believe that worked, lol.
Punish Counter is not just whiff punish. It is also when you block an unsafe move and punish it you get a punish counter. Punish counter gives you +4 extra advantage. Eg: you block a -4 move and punish with jab you get a punish counter where now your jab which was +2 on hit is not +6 so you can now link it into a 6 frame move. Also counter has less advantage than a punish counter.
I don't know if Xian or Mike read those, but punish counter is hitting someone in active and recovery frames of a move (ex : whiff punish or DP punish when the ennemy falls down), while regular counter hit is landing a hit in the startup frames of a move, for example when someone is trying to mash while not having the advantage
I still don't understand the logistics of this series. Is Mike in Singapore? Did Xian move to California? Are they getting flown back and forth for a webseries?
Mike “Give me more compliments”
Xian “I haven’t seen you play this good for a long time” 😂
Xian really has a knack for just completely tearing down Mike's confidence lmao
The best part is that mike can’t talk back to xian, because xian is better than him lol.
They both know that, xian is laughing and mike Ross is trying to not cry while laughing.
@@burkshomemadememes well yeah he's cracked professional
Very excited for a new channel to showcase Mike's salty losses(Mike I love you please don't take this the wrong way)
legendary title
JM x Mike Ross crossover video needs to happen!
@@NAJyt Agreed! GET ON IT!
@@NAJyt nah this guy has 0 charm . Mike and Xian are good enough
@@ultraheaven8968 what a dic
The genius of Xian’s comedic prowess really cannot be overstated. Holy shit this was good.

RZR sharp xian
Didnt u watch him on excellent adventures?
@@WeirdEdz Must've missed those episodes. I did watch Excellent Adventures, but not all the time.
…so I can do another Super TO FINISH HIM OFF!!!
Beautiful 😂 I love Xian
Thanks Xian for explanation of the diferences between counter hit and punish counter
As a Gief main I was both impressed and upset with Xian's gief
Glad Mike's enjoying the game, good to see him back and Xian is always godlike
Thank you for supporting the Vortex!
Xian: 32:12
Also Xian: 32:25
The shots of Xian just MASHING and CHURNING BUTTER were hilarious.
Mike Ross being back is the best thing to happen to youtube in years. Xian amd Mike combo is perfect and its pulling me back into fgc content after ignoring it during the SF5 years.
You know, for a Zangief, Mike doesn't really grab people that much. Also JP says "prepare" when its a command grab and "no" when its just hits.
I can watch Mike Ross play street fighter forever
11:37 It's really him, the people's champion is back! Mike ''I'm doing it!'' Ross
Last match was nothing but pure gold.
"How to make friends with OGs". - a life lesson from Xian.
it's official. It's my favorite show every week now !
This is what the people want! I love this show!
This is some good shit. Mike asks 'what do I do?' in a low-key panic and I'm transported back to a simpler time.
I love this spiritual sucessor to my favorite FGC show! Hope it's a long lived one. I see lots of potential!!!❤
Best part is whenever Mike gets "serious", he takes off his glasses but has to put them back on lol.
I can't believe Mike busted open his hand playing Gief.
When all that it takes to play Gief is 32:26 .
As we can see, Mike Ross never left. He's always been this dedicated god of a player.
@@IronKnee963 It's clearly a joke...
@@J597. On youtube you never know. lol
Gotta wonder if Xian talking about the Zangief color & stage combo was a throwback to Smug on excellent adventures
You have a great vibe together, first SF shows I’ve consistently enjoyed since, well Gootecks n Mike’s old shows
Mike and goo were hilarious
That ending cut was perfect hahaha
Xian is the ultimate TROLL...and the worst part...he troll Mike to his face....the disrespect levels are GODLIKE 🤣🤣
Damn seeing Mike Ross with gray hair now is making me feel old.
9:47 Mike was actually robbed. There's no way that should've missed!
Seriously. I couldn't believe it didn't connect.
def needs a patch
His Level 1 is so annoying to try and land.
@@davidcrespo6881 If there's two buffs I'd like Zangief to get, it's make his Level 1 more reliable and make his lariat (or at least the OD version) hit behind him.
@@El-Burrito true lariat is wonky rn
It is so good to have you guys back
Xian's real life breakdown of Counter and Punish Counter. The God Killer has so much tech in that brain.
15:29 "Lv 3 is Low Tier!"
"Supreme control over your opponent"
😂 swaggy af
gosh i remember the excellent adventures with this video...great memories
15:25 yoooooooooo xian respect for that amazing combo
"An OG likes listening to nice things " engrave that on a Victrix
29:31 The speed he was hitting those buttons with was insane.
Pleas keep this series’s coming. F**** love it.
i mean, it's a husk of what it was when gootecks and ross were running the show. i dont know why he didnt bring back gootecks?
@@dxbraskyYou are hating, Xian is honestly hilarious. (And good at the game)
@@dxbrasky Gootecks is... not the same dude at all. I mean I'm not exactly up to speed on the situation, but look it up. There's a reason the "pog face" emoji got banned from twitch.
@@ESFAndy011 what's the reason? lol inb4 "he said some stuff about politics that twitch and reddit dont agree with!"
Mike "I get a white hair on my head every time I lose" Ross is back.
Seeing Mike back gives me hope for the FGC! And it sheds a tear in my eye! Everyone missed you
17:29-17:32 is a reference to deejay’s usf4 “buff” to his cl hp. Patch notes said that cl hp now forces stand, but some people found out it doesn’t hit crouching in the first place 🤣
I hope Mike “One Might Say I Am Random” Ross was taking notes on Xian’s godlike Gief.
The double super pop off!
Woooo! Mike Ross playing Gief!
That ending was hilarious. Love you Mike!
These videos bring me back to the cross counter excellent adventure days😢
Getting to witness a churning Xian made my entire year lmfao best SF6 content on this website by far!
Glad to have found this channel. Good to have you back!
Xian is so savage.
I didn't think I would like Xian at first, but he is so funny
That is a reference I never thought I would hear. At 22:10 Mike makes a The Outsiders(book and movie) reference. I don't remember the Karate Kid being the one who played Ponyboy though in the movie.
he was Johnny Cade :)
These guys chemistry gets better every episode!
Such an amazing duo of players, i just found out who xian was and i immediately love his energy
It's 5 am and I'm still awake watching my fav SF duo body some noobs in game. It's going to be a great day!
Also, random suggestion, maybe Mike might wanna try the Gladiator girl, Marisa? I mean she seems like she's actually insane.
Or maybe he should just spam like Xian did... I still can't believe that worked, lol.
Gotta get Hawaiian Shirt Man in a lobby with you guys!
Thank you Xian and Mike for teaching me about Punish Counter and Counter Hit I finally understand the difference! Amazing video keep them coming!
Thumbnail goated, had my crying laughing 😂
Mike ross is the peter parker of the fgc
Punish Counter is not just whiff punish. It is also when you block an unsafe move and punish it you get a punish counter. Punish counter gives you +4 extra advantage.

lol that little "......that it?" from Mike at the end XD
Just like the good ol'days! Love this! Xian's Dee Jay is peek entertainment.
That grief vs jp match was pretty dope Mike, NGL.
12:34 xian with the real life reads tech!
Xian churning butter at the end while Mike rethinks his entire purpose in life 🤌
Bro holy shit. Xian is cracked.
The interactions between Xian and Mike are absolutely unrivaled, this is a goated show
Xian's Gief at the end😂My new favourite channel on YT
Xian is cracked. Mike’s….Slightly dented lol.
Great vibe and a shared love for street fighter. Subbed!
Thank you.
Thank you for bringing back the GAWD, Mike Ross.
Missed a few episodes, but definitely going to go back and watch them! I've got an Obsidian converted to a hitbox and love seeing Mike using one too!
Easily the funniest episode so far lmaoooooo
In a way, the video loops perfectly. Had a good laugh, tyvm
hilarious, you guys need to keep this up.
Bruhhh love this show! Welcome to the Vortex. Wooooo the next evolution of Cross Counter! Lets spread more SF6 content and more FGC content!!
#ibelieveinMikeRoss
Good to have you back, and Xian has great synergy. Get those rounds in!
Dee Jay is so damn fun in this game
LOVE U MIKE ROSS AND XIAN!!!! THIS DUO IS AMAZING, STILL MISS GOOTECKS BUT STILL GOOD VIBES TO ALL
I would also go that far for Jarritos, I completely understand
Xian is hilarious, keep the uploads coming please
Xian is so fucking funny
"I don't wanna make it look like you're a fraud"
>beats opponent by playing Through the Fire and Flames on his arcade stick
I don't know if Xian or Mike read those, but punish counter is hitting someone in active and recovery frames of a move (ex : whiff punish or DP punish when the ennemy falls down), while regular counter hit is landing a hit in the startup frames of a move, for example when someone is trying to mash while not having the advantage
Man Xian and Mike are fucking great
The comedy dynamic is so goddam good. Its a Holmes and Watson kinda thing.
Xian exposing every single Gief right now lmao
That banter about Gief at the end was a gag XD
Damn Xian was legit styling with his Deejay 🔥
Deejay, can't believe how cool they made him.
the way Xian pounced on that opportunity to ex spd and go right back to mashing is too much lmao
The way this video ended reminds me of how "There Will Be Blood" ends
Mike ross!!!!!! I grew up watching your vids! So glad your back
Welcome to the Vortex🌪️
I still don't understand the logistics of this series. Is Mike in Singapore? Did Xian move to California? Are they getting flown back and forth for a webseries?
I can´t believe Mike couldn´t open the jarrito with the darn table, like, come on!!
Mike: "You are a Dee Jay player"
Xian: "Thank You"
That last game killed me lol.
The look on Mikes face when Xian is just mashing is the best.
This one had me rolling! Poor Mike lmao
Xian: You orange him.
Everybody: This man purples the truth.
they call him Mike "Bloody Fists" Ross
careful of those Jarritos out on the streets
best jarritos ad I've ever seen 😂😂 he injured himself to drink this
godlike thumbnail
