I'm on a random excellent adventures kick. Mike is seriously a good ass showman. And gootecks being goofy with him was such a great dynamic. This right here is what kept sf4 hype and pushed fighting games to the next level.

[@SkepticGamer]

+bl00sub There's nothing that will top this. So it's pointless xD

[@UncleChuckTH]

I have watched this show for five years, because Excellent Adventures demonstrates how Street Fighter can be a positive force in people's lives. Instead of being seduced by the potential isolation and frustration of online gaming, you guys use the game to connect with talented people, to let loose, and to laugh at yourselves. It might seem like a small thing, but for a long time you've kept me entertained with these videos by sharing your daring showmanship, salt, joy, humiliation, and heartwarming vulnerability, and I appreciate that. Cheers!

[@maxouventura]

And so the era of SFIV is brought to an end with heads held high, and points defend(ed). Mike clutched whilst pads and sticks touched. Gootecks hyucked whilst Hakan's ultras were ducked. Smug duffed, and Honda still wasn't buffed. But alas, the saga continues. Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang. See you in SFV, chaps!

You inspired myself and countless others to pick up this game and log in day after day to get bodied by godlike Juris, gimmicky Blankas, and DP mashing Kens.

Check him doing a group match against Combofiend. His Birdy is solid.

[@sunnyday6133]

Honestly, I'm so thankful to Mike, Ryan and Steve for having brought me all this joy throughout the years! Ever since I started playing SF4, discovered you on machinima when you first started making your SF4 content, then watched every single thing you ever released. Every match analysis, all the adventures, CC live, being sad when Ryan left CC for a while, being over-joyed when he returned. After that I moved onto other games, got tired of SF4, but always kept watching, because I love you guys and these shows always make my day. Now with SFV being released on PC and being a huge release, I can turn over a new page and start the grind again, having played the beta twice, I am looking forward to how the things are gonna turn out. The best thing of this fresh, new start, however... is the fact that you guys will be there with us, to keep the joy coming. Thank you for the amazing years you've been with me and many others. I'm really looking forward to Tuesday.

I liked how we got to see these two guys who we've been watching for years surmounting these walls that we've witnessed over and over again. Mike "The Entertainer" Ross deliberately putting himself in a massive pressure situation and succeeding. Gootecks playing too safe but getting past it and coming out with the win anyway. Smug being his name, being hilarious, and dominating. Steve being the guy who has to put up with all the shit. :) Thanks for restoring order with the greatest of ease, guys. Bring on SFV!
