This is legit bringing tears of joy into my eyes. To see Mike Ross competing again is such a joy. It's clear that he just wants to enjoy a fighting game he actually likes and not get involved with the eSports business. I'll miss his personality, but as long as he is healthy and having fun, that's all that matters. The People's Champ is back!
Bystander: "Hey, hey you" Mike Ross: **Looks back** Bystander: "Don't I know you from somewhere? You look real familiar" Mike Ross: "No, can't be, I'm.......just a nobody" Bystander: "Wait, now I know, aren't you......MIKE ROSS?!" Mike Ross: "Sorry, you got the wrong guy. I'm just a wandering gamer" (Mike Ross is gone, my name......is WAXL) **Walks off into the distance**
I am not sure about Yipes, like he is good when it comes to DBFZ and Marvel but Gear is it's own kind of crazy. It would take a moment for him to get use to that, where as Tasty Steve has been the uncontested voice of Gear (and Tekken) for a few years now.
Yeah it was more than SF5 alone, but SF5 is so bad it can ruin a LOT of things. Hell it killed excellent adventures, that’s for sure. God damn it miss it, too. Fuck SF5. A perfect example of why lowering the bar to make things easier is NOT the answer. SF5 is like the welfare of fighting games.
Well, he used to look like he just he was a clean-cut school boy. Now, he looks like a man. Maybe he could neaten things up a little bit, but, why the vitriol? I've been wondering where he has been. I haven't seen him with Gootecks in a while.
Please stop saying this. Top players get great results and bad players get no results. Its just a mind game 24/7 which is not super enjoyable all the time and its quite frustrating. Even in USF4 Mike was salty pretty quick, but SF5 just broke him like that. Along with the company not caring about what he does for the community. The game has gotten a lot better since launch and if it requires no skill everybody could become a top player and get thousands of dollars.
Damn, it's been a while since I've watched Mike Ross. I think I'll go rewatch some excellent adventures or "Max and Mike Ross vs the World" after this.
Grim i just discovered that it ended. But mike and gootecks have all reason to just hate sfv. Its no fun to watch, no hype moments no runbacks nothing.
I can't describe the feeling of euphoria and serenity that washed over me as I saw this man play a fighting game again. Maybe I can finally start wearing my "Get in My Ass" sweatshirt again in public. Maybe not.
That 2019 interview with Lap where he talks about what he went through was very telling. It sounds like he was already pretty depressed and then having his favorite thing in the world turned into just another way to sell Red Bull really hurt him.
You're not the first one to point that out and I guess you're right. Probably what I meant to say was something more like "Good to see Mike again" lol.
Dude probably was getting pelted with questions from his fans and everything which i doubt he wanted, plus hes competing top 32 in fucking guilty gear.. I doubt happy or anything was in his head. I saw focus, he wanted to win nothing else. He came to play his game.
Wow. I'm happy to see him playing in Evo. He sure did dip fast as fuck. He looks good. Keep it up dude. You are a huge part of the FGC and always will be. Peace
Respect for Mike Ross coming back and playing Guilty Gear. If it helps get players away from Street Fighter and onto Guilty Gear his sacrifice will not be in vain. Big respect to my dude, hope he’s well.
Fucking knew he would be coming back for Evo and I still missed it. How am I only hearing about him being there now. So pissed, I bought a hat that I got a lot of my favourite players to sign and I left a spot just for Mike, not thinking I would catch him but just to hope. I’m happy that he’s back but I’m so sad I missed him. He and Gootecks are my favourite people in the fgc and it didn’t even seem like he knew Mike was there
The scenario I imagine, SF6 comes out and Honda is on the roster, quietly Mike starts bodying everyone with him not tweeting not saying a word, Mike Ross has been preparing his body for the inevitable release of SF6, guilty gear was just to keep him sharp and he will return like a Phoenix stronger then he's ever been
Mike is now a lone FGC ronin wandering around seeking the next challenge.
Victor real life Ryu
You need to WAX OFF before you ever dare call him "Mike" to his face.
Except that Ryu is able to win.
Patrik Rigáň eh lol
Victor he's literally Ryu 😂
Mike "This is America" Ross
Mike is America
Don't catch you burstin', nah
Don't catch you burstin', nah
Axl be baitin' yah
Von McFarl
Omg, I thought in my head, man Mike Ross looks like Donald glover
You beat me too it lol
Axel man
Axel man

Top 32 on ya mans
Mike “Punished “Mike Ross” Ross” Ross
Dragon4234 this made me lul way too hard
Mike "This is America" Ross
😆😆
Loooool gold
A suede briefcase-case....
Mike looks like he just escaped his kidnappers and decided to go to EVO instead of the police!
CornBreadtm Bruh! I’m crying 😂😂😂
Yo stop it!! 😭😂
lmao
"Wait EVO is today? I guess I could drop by"
Mike Ross looks like he's been in the lab for months.

Darryl Vaughn I feel the same way. It's like I'm seeing a friend of mine that I thought died reappear.
With the Greatest of Ease!!
Mike just got out of Esports jail
I heard he was cellmates with aris in Twitch jail
Benjamin Boston haha they free now
Benjamin Boston Lmfao
FYI, he placed 13th. Very good showing from Lord Mike at the biggest stage
He really place 13th? That's awesome
13th at EVO. That's strong.
The dude leveled up
weirdfeline seems a shame that this is the only recorded match.
But #1 in our hearts
The commentators are so disgustingly biased. And I wouldn't want it any other way I love it
I know this is overdone, but “ngl they had us in the first half”
Mike Ross? I haven't been called that in a loooong time...
Bystander: "Hey, hey you"
Mike Ross: **Looks back**
Bystander: "Don't I know you from somewhere? You look real familiar"
Mike Ross: "No, can't be, I'm.......just a nobody"
Bystander: "Wait, now I know, aren't you......MIKE ROSS?!"
Mike Ross: "Sorry, you got the wrong guy. I'm just a wandering gamer" (Mike Ross is gone, my name......is WAXL) **Walks off into the distance**
I feel like this is a reference to something specific, but I can't put my name on it...
ebere213 Rurouni Kenshin maybe?
I was thinking Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
You're probably right, Guren Laggan
A gamer without a cause, Punished Mike Ross.
If you're out there Mike, thank you for everything
Jacob Hargrove The wandering Ronin... The people's champ... Mike Ross...
Jacob Hargrove sure. Thanks for watching
i got the biggest smile on my face when i read his name on the title lol
heyman2211 me too
I legit miss mike a lot. Fgc isn't the same without him. Mike ross should at least go back to commentary
Anything else I was going to watch had to wait😲😁😁😁😁😁
This is evo, dont catch you slippin up
Onewolf101
Don't catcth you mixin up
Don't catch you cossin up
This is what happens when you become an Xrd monk in the Himalayas taught only by the most elite shaolin.
mike ross? on a hitbox? playing GG? it's like his evil twin or something lol
He just came from the Darkest Timeline... or he just likes Childish Gambino
shits changed man...i dont even know what to feel
More like his good twin.
Future Gooteks was right!
Mike Ross has been on hit box since gootecks started using it a little over a year ago
Mike lookin' like he came straight out of witness protection.
Thats not mike thats WAXL
That Waxl shit is annoying lol.
Mike "pullin a dave chappelle" ross
That was COOOOOLLLLDDDDDD BLOOODDEED~
If this isn’t the truest shit
Mike, the Hero we don't deserve but desperately need!
he needs to come back home. all the way. we all must suffer capcom together!
If Mike hosted a guilty gear show I'd watch the shit out of it.
Yeah that would be cool, him and Tasty Steve on the couch.
Duv Jones him, Tasty Steve, and Yipes.
I am not sure about Yipes, like he is good when it comes to DBFZ and Marvel but Gear is it's own kind of crazy. It would take a moment for him to get use to that, where as Tasty Steve has been the uncontested voice of Gear (and Tekken) for a few years now.
No more show. Just play.
This Waxl guy might be goin places in the FGC. Ill be he gets at least 4th place.
jackjack121 he will at least beat Floe in top 8
Pretty obvious that Mike hates SFV so much that he went and became an anime boy. I understand, this game is dope. I just miss his Honda.
Yeah it was more than SF5 alone, but SF5 is so bad it can ruin a LOT of things. Hell it killed excellent adventures, that’s for sure. God damn it miss it, too. Fuck SF5. A perfect example of why lowering the bar to make things easier is NOT the answer. SF5 is like the welfare of fighting games.
It wasn't even SF5. He was just not happy with the way Capcom handled things. He had this whole reddit post though explaining everything.
Punished Mike playing Guilty Gear? Definitely best timeline.
Combos, he hit em. Resets, he's got those.
mike look like he just came out the caves lol. and now he is waxl lol
BahamianKing Gaming facts
Lmao
Looking like J Cole
Vince Vanish facts jcole was found on the subways looking like that
Well, he used to look like he just he was a clean-cut school boy. Now, he looks like a man. Maybe he could neaten things up a little bit, but, why the vitriol?
I've been wondering where he has been. I haven't seen him with Gootecks in a while.
It's like this is the Ronin Mike Ross...
My man is back, and it lloks like he is having fun. You do you Mike!
Mike lookin like he bout to drop his new mixtape titled "This is ESport"
Dropped SFV like a bad habit. Grew his hair out. A great GG player. Mike looks like he's in a good space right now.
Paradox he dropped it cauze he sucks at it
DanteEx . . .and the game sucks so he has no incentive to get better.
Everyone sucks at it 50% of the time. There's no skill involved.
@@danteex9677 SFV is garbage.

Mike "No Features and I Went Platinum" Ross
I wish I was in the chat when Mike showed up lol
yea hope someone record that with all those twitch chat and emotes
Yo, It was insane!
All those trihards in the chat must’ve been unreal 😂😂
I got you:
www.twitch.tv/videos/293026524?t=10h55m50s
🙏
Hey Mike! Mad props to you! I remember you in high school practice on Marvel Vs. Capcom everyday. Now you are here! Good job! =)
my boi mike look woke AF
I can't describe the feeling of euphoria and serenity that washed over me as I saw this man play a fighting game again. Maybe I can finally start wearing my "Get in My Ass" sweatshirt again in public. Maybe not.
This makes my heart sing. Miss you Mike.
Damn!! is good to see Mike Ross back in the spotlight brother people love you!!!
I remember that picture of him on the milk carton from Pro Talk and now after seeing him playing at Evo I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂
Mike look like he bout to drop a fire follow up album to forest hill drive.
The man, the myth, the legend. Mike rocking the natural look 👀. Let’s go!
Low key he's looking like j.cole
jelani Bryan yo for real he is
Fuckkkkk dead ass
Cause this is the look black guys get when they're about to do something dope
He bout to drop a remaster to Forest Hills and 4 Your Eyez
jelani Bryan i was thinkin the same thing XD
I actually think Mike might have discovered some profound existential truth in his absence. He just has a spiritual vibe about him.
It's the good type of adult experience. He got his bell rung by something he loved, and now he is transcending it.
That 2019 interview with Lap where he talks about what he went through was very telling. It sounds like he was already pretty depressed and then having his favorite thing in the world turned into just another way to sell Red Bull really hurt him.
Mike ross on that post 2014 forest hills drive J cole vibe bruh i love it
mike 'childish gambino' ross
R JP yes I'm not the only one.
I was just about to comment this is america
First we get that Walking Dead character on T7, then Mike Ross enters GG and goes deep into the tournament
The man, the myth, the legend has return!
Good to see Mike being happy again
Doesnt look happy to be. That head sure does look nappy though.
bodler his afro looks awesome!
he didn't look all that happy if you ask me
You're not the first one to point that out and I guess you're right. Probably what I meant to say was something more like "Good to see Mike again" lol.
Dude probably was getting pelted with questions from his fans and everything which i doubt he wanted, plus hes competing top 32 in fucking guilty gear.. I doubt happy or anything was in his head. I saw focus, he wanted to win nothing else. He came to play his game.
Mike "Miguel Rosslington" Ross
He’s in the wrong timeline
I blame Barry Allen...he stay fuckin up timelines.
Future Gootecks brought WAXL from an alternate universe
this match immediatly became one of my favorite fgc moments ever, god bless guilty gear and god bless mike
Mike doesn't care about his old titles. He's not even trying to be a showman or the people's champ. He's just himself. Free from ESPORTS chains.
The most legit comment i've possibly read here.
Wow. I'm happy to see him playing in Evo. He sure did dip fast as fuck. He looks good.
Keep it up dude. You are a huge part of the FGC and always will be. Peace
Dlc mike ross costume.
*a wild Mike Ross appears*
Good to see the brotha out chea again, and rockin the fro too. Salute
Mike is playing a real fighting game now... as much as I love the sf series, sfv just killed the hype.
Damn he had the packaging on him too, he was probably like "Fuck it, lets mop some kids" and bought a hitbox and signed up
It makes me so happy to see Mike Ross playing a fighting game at Evo!
It took a lot of balls of principal to do what Mike Ross did. I respect him for that.
Lmfao mikes demeanor ain't the same
Mike Ross looks like that dude whos been going to locals for years but hasn't gotten any better
Respect for Mike Ross coming back and playing Guilty Gear. If it helps get players away from Street Fighter and onto Guilty Gear his sacrifice will not be in vain. Big respect to my dude, hope he’s well.
mike ross I support you in whatever you do... it's good to see you.
2:05 I can feel him talking about how sick he is through my monitor
Super happy to see Mike again.
Mike out here letting the legend come back to life in the form of Waxl. With the greatest of ease.
I literally clicked this only cause I have proof that Mike Ross is still alive. Good stuff!!!
Mike Ross sporting the afro now!? Okay 👍👍👍
Mike ross! Good to see you come out to the dug out with the boyz... I'll be watching, mike ross tha ppls champ!!👏👏👏🎆🎊🎉👊
lovin the childish gambino cosplay. 10/10
we're in the middle of the anime protagonist's "journey to rediscover his fighting spirit" arc, lets go!
Holy crap. I thought he was dead! Pulled a Makavelli on us.
So great to see Mike playing evo again.
Bruh the black finally hitting mike😂
lol mikes final form finna be "nigga"
@@jesus4lyfe00 lol haha
Why is he there hanging out with people? Hes too old for that
shut up
uiruu He is referencing a tweet by Mike Ross where he says he is too old to hang out
LMAO
Yea, he's not making money, or working on something. SMH. He's a fuckin bum.
ihdsmics Is this comment a joke?
Mike "Castaway" Ross
RaiXVortex Wilson!
Mike Ross the guy who inspired me to play fighting games, man no matter what mike’s my idol
Mike "that's Nacho cheese" Ross looking like he's been hiding in about two caves...
MIKE!!! So happy to see him back competing again!
Mike “mike “mike ross” ross” ross chanelling his Wayne-Brady-on-Chappelle’s-Show vibe.
That alone makes him -1st- 4th in my heart.
This is his final form.
A hitbox-wielding madman, and I love him all the more for that!
Mike Ross looks like Kendrick Lamar and J.cole when they went thru they fuck gold chains phase
Good to see Mike is alive.
everyone sometime in life need a break and enjoy life a bit , happy for him
Thank You For Always Being "The People's Champ".
Fucking knew he would be coming back for Evo and I still missed it. How am I only hearing about him being there now. So pissed, I bought a hat that I got a lot of my favourite players to sign and I left a spot just for Mike, not thinking I would catch him but just to hope. I’m happy that he’s back but I’m so sad I missed him. He and Gootecks are my favourite people in the fgc and it didn’t even seem like he knew Mike was there
I fucking love Mike Ross! 😢
Why is this still 6 months later the only Waxl footage on RUclips? Is this really the only tournament he attended for GG?
It's like watching Roshi in the martial arts tournament fighting like Jackie Chun, GODLIKE
Mike Ross been drilling out that J COLE KOD album, welcome back!!
Mike living that Dave Chappelle timeline. Just needs to find his way to Netflix somehow.
The scenario I imagine, SF6 comes out and Honda is on the roster, quietly Mike starts bodying everyone with him not tweeting not saying a word, Mike Ross has been preparing his body for the inevitable release of SF6, guilty gear was just to keep him sharp and he will return like a Phoenix stronger then he's ever been
Honda already in SFV now lol, but doubt mike will come back
Lmaooo, prediction made 👀 Honda in SF6
Honda too brain dead Mike plays Lily 😢
Take a shot every time they say “mike Ross”
Good to see Mike do his thang. Keep it up brotha 👍
I remember when he played with floe I alwayswanted to see more gg mike
Man, his fro grew faster than mine and I had a 2 year head start over him.
Waxl using a hitbox
This must be Dark Mike Ross
Mike "I thought he was playing dota and starcraft in the phillipines and korea but magically appeared at evo 2018" Ross
Commentating the match: *I sleep*
Saying Mike's name over and over: *real shit*
You can call yourself Waxl all you want Mike but to me you'll always be Miquel Rossington the IIIrd
Mike "Marcelo" Ross
neirei
Yo!!! I said the same just now lol
