BOMBS AWAY! The Excellent Adventures of Gootecks & Mike Ross Ep. 79 ft. L.I. JOE!

[@Alloran]

That may be the best online blanka on planet earth. That guy knew exactly how to stuff every single fucking thing you try to do. You throw a low light, he's already got crouching heavy out. You want to fireball he's sliding on your animation. He's already buffering the blanka ball off jab because he knows it's going to hit. This guy sees about 3 seconds into the future and has a gameplan on how to mind fuck you for the rest of the match. Plus, his stuff is almost unpunishable online. The neutral game and pressure from this shit is incredibly hard to counter when you can't do it on reaction. And then there are the gimmicks and those absolutely immaculately timed blanka balls on wake up. Those things were the most ambiguous crossups I have ever witnessed in 7 years of street fighter 4. Goddamn. Gootecks, Mike, L.I. Joe, thank you for your efforts on behalf of the rest of the world to destroy this monster. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten. But some stories don't have happy endings.

[@jmrivero1910]

+Alloran You can't fool us Cast Blanka

[@Alloran]

I've been watching this shit for years man. Never observed a guy play Blanka in a way that made it look legit. Most of them look kind of like Rolento players, just throwing shit out and using weird movement gimmicks to get cheap cross ups. This guy was stuffing everything our mighty heroes had to offer. So we're clear though, Mike and Joe had his ass those last two matches and got randomed out.

[@ChoseDeath]

Amazing comment. Fucking preach brother.

[@JackgarPrime]

+Alloran How this guy doesn't win any majors is baffling to me.

[@JackgarPrime]

***** Well I don't think Mike is even allowed to enter most majors anymore. LI Joe does alright, though.

[@nafsiammara]

Mike's Sagat was a fucking hell of a match. That bar got raised so far all of a sudden.

[@oreobuttcrack4557]

''Who told you losing is okay?'' ''My 5th grade teacher, that lying bitch.'' Love the show guys.

[@calcichristophe6324]

you

[@meu02136]

R.I.P. L.I. "Brazzers" Joe, Ep. 77-79. Gone but not forgotten. We'll miss ye big man.

[@jacque5599]

Some say a million online Blankas were born that day.

[@OhNoTheFace]

+JAc QUe If someone is inspired by that facerolling I am sad for the community

[@mudbutt234]

+JAc QUe I wanna see Low tier god play this Blanka

[@mondoclapper723]

Real Rap..

[@mlo__]

"It's okay, you're a street fighter V champion", said Gootecks to LI Joe. Still unaware of the events that would happen approximately a year before the fact.

[@ALEX19960609]

What did happen?

[@BoscoValdenegro]

@@ALEX19960609 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3e7f4itq6d_l9U He made Top 8 in EVO 2016

[@jacksonferretti3159]

​@ALEX19960609 he made top 8 in EVO for Season 1 SFV

[@Quiqueleal85]

castblanka as a guest for next excellent adventures :P

[@Deadpoolinho]

That's actually a good idea.

[@tking6740]

I feel like he's not safe around Mike

[@DavidGodd]

yeah no kidding, that would work.

[@talwaniya]

+Quique Leal YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@ooperblownup]

+Quique Leal Plot twist, on the show hes only allowed to play shotos

[@KeijiMaeda86]

I haven't seen Mike go full SALT in a long time... Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

[@Tesomanjarvi]

+KeijiMaeda86 And it wasnt against a Rolento :D

[@aprendizdefegelein]

+KeijiMaeda86 Mike "Saltier than the dead sea" Ross

[@claypool0]

yeah he usually plays it up for effect, but he was legit salty there.

[@FakeKraid]

+KeijiMaeda86 I don't really know what you guys are talking about. Mike was the least salty person in this episode. Gootecks was the only one who was salty, and hilariously so. Joe just wanted to try and beat him, and Mike seemed pretty chill about the whole situation. He was legitimately impressed with that Blanka. I don't think you know what salty means...

[@themangotango95]

+KeijiMaeda86 Mike had the second round if he didn't dp on accident twice along with his tiger knee at the end.

[@HatedGreatness]

This episode is a classic. My God that Blanka played out of his mind.

[@calcichristophe6324]

you mind

[@daakrolb]

I will surely never tire of it.

[@drizztdourden9359]

Mike: Does anybody know frame data? Joe: I certainly don't know a damn thing about frame data. Mike: I love you Joe.

[@iamryanlittle]

This might be one of the best (if not the best) Excellent Adventures episode ever. I was yelling "Uppercut!!" so many times of the last round of the last game of LI Joe vs. Hadouken Bomber lol. This was too good.

[@ElseeKay]

mike was the goddamn hero for a second there.

[@shinuza]

The salt from this episode alone is enough to season every meals produced in the world for a month.

[@LucasSSP]

Hadouken Bomber, we need you at tournaments dude. You're just too good.

[@CJ-ic5iq]

He got top 8 at KiT

[@LucasSSP]

Cameron Jamieson Thanks for that info, I'll look into it. Glad to know.

[@voodizzle]

They gave that Blanka over 400 points.

[@duhmainmang]

These videos with joe are my favorite. Looking back, these matches with cast blanka are HYPE. Theres no fucking way 5 will ever be as hype as this :/

[@180223]

Mike 'I HAVE NO IDEA' Ross

[@NMGardening]

You guys are witnessing behind the scenes footage of the new documentary known as "Bodied By Blanka" lol

[@thoyo]

hahaha! I think everyone is rushing to check out who this Cast guy is now

[@Xeroskia]

I've never rooted for Mike Ross so hard in my life. I was freakin' pissed after his final runback, even as proud of his performance as I was. I went to look at the video timer hoping it was really the end of the episode because I wanted to click the big, shiny red X in the corner of my window *so* bad after that loss. ...The man gained upwards of 600+ player points and rose around 75-80 spots in the Blanka rankings. *In this single video alone.* *_Straight from gootecks 'n frens._* _Jesus H. W. Christ..._

[@slugemonkey313]

2021 going on 2022 and this series is still goated. Great rewatch ability

[@munnypantz]

L.I. Joe will come back one day, if we believe hard enough.

[@CJRozay]

You remember that episode with Gootecks, Mike Ross and Flash Metroid, and they faced that Dan player that bodied them everytime?? This episode reminds me on that one

[@WishhMaN]

[@Raiden3651]

get this CastBlanka dude on the show live on couch. he is the epitome of mixing dirty and clean play. its like folding up a pair of skidmarked boxers and putting it into a fresh 7 pack of Hanes...

[@NMGardening]

Lol "he's always rollin' with broly" -mike ross 2015

[@washoywa]

that high five at the end man... that is what is all about.

[@Believeit8]

This is the best episode I've seen. That Blanka... I've watched the finals of EVO, top ranked players... Maybe it's just because I don't know Blanka very well but I've never been as mesmerized by SFIV as I am right now. You guys did fantastically well against this absolute Street Fighter genius. I salute you. And please come back LI Joe.

[@VoidStar.]

You all want to know the real reason Mike couldn't beat Kast Blanka? HE DIDN'T PICK E. HONDA. YOU SHOULDA BROUGHTA OUTTA THE HONDA TO DEALA WITHA BLANKA, MIKA!

[@MrDemonB]

+Jessey Bowman Blanka vs Makoto is free! 1 of my favorite counter picks. Like boosting. Obviously Mike did not know this lol

[@moist__owlette]

If this Blanka is not sponsored, he needs to be. Fuck.

[@QuakerOates]

lol I like Mikes tactics "If we all get rekt by this Blanka, I wont look so bad"

[@ooperblownup]

-Online is just decisions, there are no reactions. So true, completely true...

[@joshp358]

Watched every Excellent Adventure episode. This was one of the most excellent.

[@Deadpoolinho]

I fucking love this show. I don't even play this game !

[@richardrdenisii]

One of the most entertaining episodes yet, just based on the matches. Cast TOO GOOD.

[@roylee8114]

wow the guys have never seemed so human before. this is the best episode I have seen on this channel in a long time. that blanka player is pretty insane as well.

[@IronBear003]

This was the single most electric episode of Excellent Adventures I've seen so far: rare moments like these keep me watching this series, where the matches are down to the wire. Get this frickin Blanka on the show or something.

[@Civil206]

This was the best most heartbreaking episode yet. EA with Joe really is a 10 star experience. VERY entertaining.

[@UndeadHermit]

Excellent Adventures ep 79: Pass the Salt edition

[@prmaverickz3890]

lol the rage and salt is hilarious from mike and joe. joe just leaves and right b4 that mike is ready to curse someone out.. "can we just cut the show".. hilarious

[@ShahedTCG]

Wow I literally fell from my seat. The best episode of everything on the internet

[@kupidzheart]

this was a legit beating ...........the bodies.............someone count the bodies..................

[@Spadie]

There needs to be a 4 man episode with Gootecks, White Ross, L.I. Joe and K-Brad

[@smcdonough1427]

Mike is honestly my favorite person ever. He's so funny lmao

[@jimmyd2129]

These are the best type of episodes. I think this was the best of the best.

[@michaelosborne8947]

Quality Blanka play right here in this episode. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's so fun watching them play against someone good.

[@alefillman]

Definitely one of my favorite episodes.

[@180223]

We need a gif of Gootecks feeling himself.

[@LAGGYMOO]

30:07 It was like the underdog made it all the way to Evo finals only to have their dream's crushed by none other than Cast blanka My heart sank.

Oh my bob, one of the best episodes ever and I've seen almost all of them.

[@paulkennedy1168]

love Joe's "that was fucking gangster!....that was fucking fly!." on that 2nd match lol. XD

[@_hyzer]

when mike starts clutching at joe pleading to leave with him, that was one of the best moments in excellent adventures to date.

[@duranarts]

That was the BEST episode I've seen... SOOOOO GOOD

The matches where victory is snatched away from you at the last second always hurt the most. I loved Mike and Joe's reactions, they got their daily dose of sodium for sure.

Please tell me how to get this movie in imax !!! That may be the best online blanka on planet earth. That guy knew exactly how to stuff every single fucking thing you try to do. You throw a low light, he's already got crouching heavy out. You want to fireball he's sliding on your animation. He's already buffering the blanka ball off jab because he knows it's going to hit.
