Xian Versus Mike Ross' Favorite Game

[@Impact_Player]

45 seconds in and watching Mike and Xian laughing and having fun playing a good fighting game sitting on a couch is already getting me misty eyed.

I look forward to more of this! Xian is a psp guilty gear player

[@VersusVortex]

Thank you for watching! There is a healthy GG community surrounding him.

@@VersusVortex awesome to hear I look forward to more of this

[@Retrofun69]

To Mike just in case he reads this: im still making music and id love to talk again about bands and fighting games. Take care and its great to see you playing again!

[@MasterFaiyn]

This shit is organic af. Quality content and I do miss Xian's humor. I knew he was funny but Gd this is gold.

​@@HumbleDude46995 tl:dr vortex happened. Long story gootecks went some crazy ways right before the pandemic, some real xenophobic crap iirc. Maybe some harassment? I don't remember clearly. And Mike got mad at Capcom and SFV, was in a bad place and all, needed time off

From the couple episodes we've gotten so far, this series is showing great potential. Im really looking forward to seeing more games and (I would assume) more guests. And I agree with Mike about xrd --> Strive Axl, I also didn't like how he felt and switched mains to Chipp in Strive lol, have much more fun now.

The only FGC channels I have been following in the past handful of years do like community commentary, news reaction, and hardcore sweaty guide stuff. Haven't really felt that spark to play in quite a while like I used to. Excellent Adventures got me into fighting games, and this series has made me feel that spark again. Fighting games are all about having a good time with the bros.

Loving this show so far. The format with the video starting mid-sentence and ending abruptly is... An interesting choice. Maybe I was too pampered by Mike's previous shows that had animated intros and player introductions. The Vortex jumps straight into the action.

[@Nounearthlyglow]

Great episode. Wanted to share some feedback from a fan(me). 1. I enjoy the commentary from the players way more than the audio of the game, I think another look at the balancing of these two audio sources(gameplay vs commentary) may be beneficial. This is honestly some of best game commentary out there and it's a shame the volume of the game is washing out some good dialogue. 2. I'd love to see the commentators play each other! Some nice classic on the couch local play is alway great to experience, throw in a pizza and some soda and you got a warm beautiful scene. Xian and Mike have great chemistry, everyone involved is doing a good job on this series.
