EDIT: After seeing that Gootecks is an alt-right wingnut conspiracy mainliner, it's 100% for the best that CCTV ended and Mike Ross walked away. I'm now left wondering if Mike knew something we didn't. There's no real reason they couldn't have continued. I play USFIV still and a lot of people still do. I play a lot of Melee, that's my main game, and it's a shining example of the fact you do not need the newest game, developer support or any of that to have an 'old' game still be the one on top. We've had community implemented rollback netcode, replays, online tournaments and entire branches of Dolphin specifically tuned for our game alone all come out. All people had to do was turn their nose up at Capcom's money and go grassroots. All scenes should have a strong grassroots foundation, because if you don't you end up in situations like we have today where everyone in the SF community (and other communities) is playing a boring game that they all hate because it's where the money is. It's not too late, this game CAN be revived, it has a solid enough remaining playerbase and even still has the occasional regional and a fair few locals when COVID isn't fucking things up. Support games you like to play, you'd be amazed how far you can take them.

@@HystericalHuntress yeah, man. Before it went mainstream and turned into some social spectacle, it was an underground scene and it was so much raw and real. Everyone had technique and had their own tech set-ups and the ONLY way you knew was to be there and view it yourself. THATS the scene I think we all miss. Just a gang of homies chilling, eating and just making tech. Also, newer games made it way easier to do complicated combos. I still will play Third Strike, because it’s just difference pace and actually requires good timing and accuracy. I miss my 2D fighters.
"do the math, who jumped more Justin Wong or me? Justin Wong jumped like 30 more times than I did" - Mike Ross Justin Wong plays Rufus. The DIVE KICK CHARACTER. He jumps like 2-3x every time he gets a knockdown, of course he jumps more.
I don't blame Mike for going his own way for fear of eSports. But I do blame him for underestimating his ability to sway people. Mike really was the best at presenting fighting games. Future Gootecks is fucked, and Future Mike is hiding from a world he no longer believes in.
