Winning against an Abigail for the first time and of course he ragequits. GG.

I promise it wasn't me. My Abigail is the best though, just so you know.

In all seriousness, where is he sitting on the tier list at the moment? He is so satisfying to play.

 

[lucebuce12]

Wow, you went from playing the lowest damage character in the game to arguably the highest.

 

[delSai]

What should i do when Abigail is running at me? I've no idea how to react and just accept that i'm going to die

The "saddest" part about this is that the interview was actually going pretty damn well and was a respectable piece of work right up until he decided to do that for some weird ass reason.

Jump forward. No seriously. You can get jump in combos for free if you stay mid to close range. The only thing he can do is the kick which you'll hop over anyway if you whiff

Peeps ragequitting in casual is something i will never understand.

I'm checking out gootecks' new teaching video and dude really needs to up the energy. Sleep more, drink less, do something. The difference between his attitude now and a few years ago is crazy. I don't get how he plans to sell himself as a teacher when he sucks the life force out of the room.

 

[Surfside]

Seems that way, but they must really dread playing ranked than.

 

[Pompadour]

Player behavior is way shittier in casual for some reason. Ragequitting, runback winquitting, letting the rematch timer run out when you don't plan on rematching

 

[Neoxon]

Is the Menat player still in the tournament?

 

[Zombegoast]

Peeps ragequitting in casual is something i will never understand.

Because there are FM famers using MIcro spamming LK.

And those who only play Casual to stay in the rank there in but plays worse compared to the others and so they RQ.

Hell people will RQ after the match end not giving you the chance to rematch.

I really wonder what was going through his head when he said that

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Hold up, the win 10 ranked matches thing expires today? That's new.

 

[Pompadour]

Yes, but if you have the CPT 2017 DLC the wins count as double credit for October's mission.

Probably very little.

I don’t think he’s racist or intended it to be taken seriously but soon as he said it he couldn’t take it back. Pretty sure Mike Ross isn’t perfect either. Hopefully he’s improved since then as he does (usually) create good content.

He seems like a gamer.

 

[Karsticles]

Fried chicken as a racist stereotype confuses and irritates me. Every goddamn person I know loves fried chicken. It's amazing.

 

[Blueblur1]

Michael Martin isn’t a bad dude. He’s very nice and is very enthusiastic about SF now (his whole thing about being an OG because he played SFII at an arcade is laughable).

Nice dude BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT that was a stupid ass question. I couldn’t believe those words came out of his mouth. He apparently decided to stop using his brain in that moment.

 

[Whales]

Dumb

And Zhi is trash too, feels like not enough people complain about him. His regular use of the word ''retarded'' every 15 secs is annoying as fuck

Another cogent analysis from ZG.

We fought a few minutes ago. Was I lagging all over the place? I need to know how fraudulent I am.

Judging by your character choice, very.

You just bodied the shit out of me

Says the guy who plays the character that no one has fought more than once in the last year.

He does so little damage, it still doesn't matter.

Urien's Gill mullet goes nuts if you bury him (like with Birdie and Alex supers).

Thank you for the info and I'm sorry. You made it to Gold anyway!

I think I've been smurfing kind of hard because whenever I do these win 10 ranked missions I have an easy time with it. But there are lots of times that I get bodied in casuals so I don't know what's what.

People in ranked seem more cautious and robotic in their game plans, so maybe my nonsense works well in that situation.

 

[Neoxon]

How much time do I have to buy the Gill skin? Between Super Mario Odyssey ($35) & Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($31), I'm kinda cutting it close this month in terms of finances. The life of a college kid is definitely a broke one.

I remember seeing sometime in late November. That was also the case last year.

Oh good, I have plenty of time. Maybe I can throw in the CPT 2017 Premier Pack while I'm at it (I'm a bit of a stage completionist, especially since I manage casual sessions for fighting games in my area).

you would really give mike ross the he was no angel treatment when receiving a racist remark

im done lmao

All MrCarter knows how to do is shill/defend, it doesn't matter if it's Capcom or racist statements.

It seems almost reflexive.

Almost beat a Master Karin player. He left after one match though. guess I know the karin matchup okay (or he was just off)

All MrCarter knows how to do is defend, it doesn't matter if its Capcom or racist statements.

And it seems all you know is how to make sarky comments without looking at the bigger context and if you are implying I’m racist then you are deluded. It’s hilarious.

I saw that interview way before he became a Capcom employee and I have the same opinion. Nothing about that screams “he’s a racist bigot get the pitchforks out” and if you think that then you really do have thin skin. I’ve seen him speak to/interview Ross after that too so obviously it was a silly and stupid encounter that he apologised for.

The bizarre thing is, nobody online really cared before but now it’s a massive “problem” because he works for this company. That’s not how it should work. From what I’ve seen of his work at Red Bull/Yahoo he does do a lot of good work that people enjoy so hopefully he’s learnt to engage his brain before mouth in future.

 

[Ryce]

Whether it was your intent or not, ”pretty sure Mike Ross isn't perfect either" is the sort of irrelevant deflection that racists love to justify discrimination with. I was taken aback when I saw that in your post, too.

 

[kikiribu]

Fried chicken is delicious

Not really sure who that guy is though. Was Mike Ross actually eating fried chicken before that or did he say it due to the dumb stereotype?

He can’t be worse than Zhi. Zhi makes dumb race jokes every time I hear him commentating

I said that due to some of the things he’s said or implied in the past on Cross Counter that was very questionable. Same with Zhi. I’m the LAST person to discrimate someone especially due to my background and lifestyle. Trust me. If it did come across that way I sincerely apologise.

I've watched a lot of cross counter but not all of it. Is there something specific you could cite?

 

[MrCarter]

I don’t have any specific citations unfortunately but I remember hearing some stuff from back in the SF4 days that made me question him. Also, the fact that he’s still good friends with Zhi, who is significantly worse than Michael Martin when it comes to “racist jokes” on stream, is telling too. Talk about double standards. All of them are obviously wrong - which is why I don’t think we should only vilify some and not the others.

That link says only the 2016 Halloween costumes are only available for a limited time, not the new 2017 costumes for Bison, Fang, Birdie, Urien and Dhalsim.
