By The Next 18 Minutes, You Will Improve As A Player | Xian Teaches Mike Ross Street Fighter 6

[@VersusVortex]

Were you a better player after the 18 minutes were over? Let us know!

[@Harrisensei]

100% ,great training video.

[@stronggirlarmy6936]

Yes, I'll definitely need to rewatch this before my next online grind

[@CavinKoh32]

yes it helped!

[@aanokman]

18 minutes ago I thought I was ass because I never practice enough to build up enough muscle memory for combos. Now I know im just ass.

[@elaisplayer5247]

This video surfaced demons I didn't know I had now I'm fighting them so I guess I'm better

[@Kranzio-]

I use the Mike “The Boss” Ross system of success: Say “check this out”, jump in and then get bodied.

[@ElvisMaximus1]

the only sequence that ALWAYS combos

[@VersusVortex]

The thing about being a boss, is that you miss every "Check This Out" you dont take

[@Limit5482]

Works 60% of the time everytime

[@Fantapew]

“Am I ass?” Really a loaded question

[@chrisbullock6477]

Xian hit the nail on the head today MIKE...finally someone articulated it perfectly. Maybe back in SF4 days it wouldn't of been so relevant but now days pure instinct and feeling won't work alone

[@VersusVortex]

Hard work definitely paid off more practicing combos in the days of sf4 where 1f links were so important. Now knowledge is so important, where a solid gameplan and critical thinking easily trumps a player that players of feeling and heart

[@LeoKRogue]

"You're not Mike Tyson. You're _Tyson MIKE._" goes so unnecessarily hard.

[@KillerSquidHugs]

Xian is so eloquent, for real

[@kingradinov1965]

I didn't realize how incredibly expressive one could be with a single word

One of the best FG tutorial videos ever made. A mindblowing, funny and gamechanging interaction between pupil and master. Better than pure gold, absolute diamond. I'm subscribed now.

[@VersusVortex]

Thank you for the sub! Appreciate the support!

[@tndrunning3328]

Xian is a master of almost paying Mike a compliment before turning it into a sly dig at the last second

[@TheMyganic]

Just wanted to take the time to say this again: I'm so happy to have Mike back... It just hits differently to be entertained by watching him playing some SF. Thanks for the content guys!

[@VersusVortex]

Thank you too!!

[@CrooklynBrawl3r]

I'm dying they played the Bruce Lee "Flow like water" clip when Xian was dropping knowledge on Mike😂😂😂

[@VersusVortex]

Thanks for noticing it GOAT!

[@Spidey-Tomas]

I could watch this for hours. I was so invested in seeing if the setup was real. The look on Mike's face during the whole vid was pure cinema.

[@kingradinov1965]

I feel like this is ground zero for something really special. Hoping to see more of Mike's Manon. Xian seems like he would make an amazing coach... as long as you can support the weight of the soul crushing advice he gives you along the way. Because one day Xian could be gone. Everybody could be gone.

[@VersusVortex]

There are 2 wolves in Mike. One is the Manon. The other is the dark wolf, appearing in the darkness of night, when the rank points drop the most, and the salt is at the highest. The wolf leaps into the air and... Honda emerges from the shadows. Either way, we would love to see how Coach Xian is able to take Mike to the next level. Maybe they both qualify for Capcom Cup 24!

[@invadergame]

Rare footage of Xian not roasting Mike by not calling his setplay ass when directly asked lol.

[@VersusVortex]

The coach mindset kicked in and he found a better way to teach him an important lesson!

[@KiiRion]

Xianpai is real The knowledge drips and it helps to play any fighting game.

[@dihy5579]

This video was fantastic, thank you! One of the most helpful videos that I've seen so far!

[@VersusVortex]

Thank you for the support! Whenever Xian drops the wisdom we have to capture and share it!

[@Vilonic]

Mikes face when Xian said it’s a real setup is the best!

[@emmanuelsanchez2580]

A series of xian coaching mike into a Ross top player would be godlike

[@JRMH-X]

Xian is so fucking wise. The way it even applies to everyday life things and not just fighting games too. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾

[@VersusVortex]

Fighting Games are so Intrinsic in nature that alot of lessons we learn in the game apply to us in real life too. And Vice Versa of course! Thank you for supporting us and we'll keep the videos rolling!

[@Aware_Wolf_X4]

I need more Xianpai and Mike Tyson Mike.

[@VersusVortex]

Xianpai the science guy is here to deliver

[@geothetwo]

Xian was an amazing teacher. Manon does have her gimmicks but I fell into the same issue. I relied on gimmicks too much that when I went up against a Master player my fundamentals were nowhere to be seen. Great video. Good dynamic between y'all.

[@LowMaintenance01]

" You should never do a reset against anyone of lower rank cause that doesn't improve fundamentals" I be styling on the lower ranks and kicked my ass kicked lol, hearing that makes sense now seeing how Im playing with gimmicks or some sort of personal goal while fighting instead of building a set of fundamentals to move myself forward, thank you Xian

[@VersusVortex]

Champion's advice hits hard

[@ilike3dalot610]

tyson mike that was fucked up

[@VersusVortex]

Getting roasted like that might put a new spin on the term Hotboxin

[@ayyhowie]

This is the best video I’ve ever seen about fighting games

[@michaellawrence9922]

More of these coaching videos, this was great!

[@CryosFOXHOUND]

Holy shit. What a different experience this was.

[@cube22111]

"Against April 1st, you're a joke" BROOOOOOOO

[@jeromerobinson6662]

That was a top fucking tier line holy shit lmao

[@JDairShine]

Best Vortex content in a long time for me. I just want to see these guys play SF6 and put some effort in (win or lose doesn't matter). Normal games, no gimmicks, just Street Fighter. Love to see it guys and hope to see more content like this!

[@leperique]

16:34 Master approval and Mike happiness is a great moment!

[@kerethlewis5280]

Excellent video, great words from Xian

[@VersusVortex]

The Wisdom beyond his age and gameplay

[@reggieeeeeeee]

I haven't even touched my stick today (pause) but I feel like I became a better player just from hearing what Xian had to say. I felt like while he was talking to Mike he was really dissecting my own play with tendencies and poor decision making while relying on flowchart muscle memory,.

[@VersusVortex]

AYO PAUSE. But we hope that these 18 minutes were fruitful!! Thanks for the support!

[@ireallydontknow6709]

So basically what I've learned from Xian: Think before you act Observe your opponent Act based on each opponent

[@pennywise988]

OMG! when I started to follow the FGC community not too long ago, I didn't believe that I will find a duo of fighting games veterans that would make me laugh so much! your channel is amazing guys! Xian - my favourite street fighter player!!! Mike - awesome dude also!

[@VersusVortex]

LETS GO!

[@sandalsfgc]

"You know what you're talking about but you don't apply it!" Xian really gettin stern with you Mike 😂😂

[@xkoan-yy7lg]

so funny

[@ukyorulz]

THIS is the kinda content I like to see. Entertaining matches and insightful commentary. More like this please!

[@fredcrimson]

I really liked this! Learning but having fun. I would love to se more

[@merkyofaycemfx2944]

Xian is the one teacher who will teach you great knowledge but then you have to talk to your therapist afterward

[@VersusVortex]

In Mike's case, Xian is both

[@iRKakashi]

I felt that whe Xian said this is the most serious ive ever talked to you so i hope you get better. I.E dont waste my time lol

[@jpVari]

Making decisions consciously is so obvious but extremely helpful. I realized last night after a couple of fast losses, I'm just kind of doing things sometimes. Not always sometimes I play in the moment and am really making decisions. Other times I am just pushing buttons however my fingers decide to. This was helpful.

[@dankicks]

“That’s not a combo.” My problem exactly 😂

[@Thisdoesntmatter123]

Overflowing wisdom, thank you Xian and Mike.

[@Joey_CapcomFightingNetwork]

Xian is a great teacher. Looking forward to more.

[@matmachin9992]

First off great vid guys. Very entertaining. The comparison to boxers or MMA fighters not putting themselves in a punishable position when they knock the other guy down/out. Watch Holloway and Gaethe, first example that came to mind.

[@FlipTheCatOfficial]

He talks like my Asian stepfather. I feel even more stupid but somehow encouraged

[@deusrex11]

“It’s called a training mode” 😂😂😂

[@Ryukotsu22]

I watch you guys but honestly this episode was nice!!!!!!!! lol a little bit of everything in there. Mike was so happy when everything was confirmed for the Idom Setup hahahahahaha

[@TheLeroy125]

It is funny how Xian immediately calls out Mike's gimmicks on Manon. That move is minus and you go into grab every time, I don't play manon mike, but that move is minus and your opponent is too bad to do anything about it. Just goes to show the level of competition at the top, he called it in like 2 reps, 1 round. Also, don't feel bad Mr. Mike Rossington III, you're still a much better player than most, you're just not part of the 0.001% like Xian xD

[@Ray-pt1nx]

Cracking up the whole episode . Love you two both !

[@viceanterra3]

Hold on. Xianpai cookin for real lol. This could be a whole series. Xian coaching (and roasting) players 😂. Educational and entertaining.

This is literally me actively trying to rank down rn. Just started playing and ranked up fast taking advantage of players common mistakes. But now I’m realizing I have no fundamentals or neutral game. I wish I could reset rank and start over.

[@IceManP23]

I need someone like xian to help me lol straight forward knowledge

[@HolySok]

I wonder if Xian or Mike have any advice on execution improving in the first place. Any drills the pros do? Should you warm up and practice your combos for 15mins or so before hopping into ranked?

[@VersusVortex]

Practice makes perfect. @Brian_F has a great video regarding his learning process when he picked up Ed. Learning new combos and making it part of your muscle memory and system 2 brain. Fchamp recently uploaded a video about practicing anti air executions and settings for it. Warming up is definitely a great way as well to keep your mind aware on what you practiced at the start of a session.

[@HolySok]

@@VersusVortex thanks!

[@carrying13]

keep up the good content fgc gets repetitive with the tier lists videos or how broken a character is instead of making content

[@VersusVortex]

We occasionally dip our toes with those in the pursuit of entertainment, but adding value through content is what we are here for!

[@chm2]

Based on Xian's philosophy, I don't think he will ever main a grappler.

[@MrEssedis]

True, their entire game plan is based on a higher degree of risk. And you can play much safer with better characters for the same rewards.

[@signorpaldoni]

Very nice setup but why didn't mike go for OD kicks into qcfp into level 3 for the kill? Or at least cancel od kicks into level 3

[@VersusVortex]

Thanks for noticing! That was the main reason why xian was highlighting that moment. Although he pivoted to the importance of learning a setup the right way, mike definitely should have went for the kill there

One of the TO's from my city spams DI and DR and that's how he always wins. Me and another vet player have advised him against that and he said that as long as that's getting him wins he will continue doing it. Bro's never gonna get better.

[@VersusVortex]

Facts. They might win short term, but it goes nowhere in the long run

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

On the one hand, if he is still getting wins then it's fine. On the other hand as soon as he tries to play standard it's going to be rough and he'll probably drop.
