I hope Mike finds what he needs.
Dude has been quiet for too long, been talking to nobody for too long, been festering ideas on too long, harboring grudges for too long.
All by himself. That would drive anyone insane.
He needs to set himself some long term goals and find a way to resolve what happened.
I know very little about his situation, but there’s a lot of precedents to his mentality and people who went through the same things in a different way.
Godspeed Mike, hope you get your shit sorted and find something else in life.

Nah. 3S is excellent as a fighting game.
It just wasn’t as good of a Street Fighter arguably.
On the other hand, SFV is an excellent Street Fighter, and this isn’t even its final form yet!
Also Mike has shit taste. Which is why he likes Honda and has not received thousands of birthday wishes last year.
Having thought this through some more, I’ll leave here a worthy note for Mike and you my fellow reader from someone who endured years of clinical depression: Turn your back to the world and soon, you will find, that the world will turn its back to you. You will become increasingly ignored, shunned, marginalized, made insignificant, And finally destroyed.
The way out is through.
If Mike really thought the FGC is fucked and needed saving (read: it isn’t and it doesn’t btw), he should’ve worked from within and used his power and influence rather than cry like a baby and run. Boo fucking hoo. Grow up and face your opponent.
Sorry guys but I have zero respect for what he did and what he said. It’s not “real”, it’s childish and screams of ingratitude. It’s evident from his words that him walking away from the FGC has not yielded the peace he sought even after all this time. Shame as he was a great personality, an asset in our community. What a waste.
SF has a bright future ahead of it, and not a one or ten Mike Ross’s will change that.

Mike (or anyone else) doesn’t owe the FGC shit.
The FGC has been trying to go esports and after that cash for so long, it got desperate.
SFV is a testament to that. They wanted that Esports fame so bad they considered stream monsters part of the FGC. I forgot who said it but no other community is that easy to get into than the FGC since all you need to do is be a stream monster.
What the fuck does stream monsters know? All they do is bitch and complain. They don’t understand fighting games, let alone play them.
Notice how passive defensive gameplay are non existent in SFV. It’s hard for people that never played fighting games to grasp the defense, the spacing, zoning and pacing of the match. That’s why stream monsters bitch and complain about that style of play. Yet everyone understands jump in combo into 50% damage into corner carry. It’s “hype”.
Capcom unfortunately caters to that group which alienates long time players. A fighting games primary purpose shouldn’t be to entertain the masses with its streams.
MvC2 was hype because everyone wanted to dethrone Justin Wong. People watched videos not primarily to be entertained but to learn and get good.

Who said anything about Mike presently owing anyone anything?
He should just move on. Everything he said in this “interview” was well understood and inferred for a long time. This interview is nothing but a desperate plea for attention.
Mike, like many before him, thought that if he doesn’t jump on this SF’s bandwagon then it would fall apart. But it did not. SF is bigger than Mike, and it marches on with or without him and his ilk.
This is no different than the detractors from previous eras. This isn’t unique or special to anyone with a long enough memory. Mike simply was more famous than some of his predecessors, but his fame he owed to the FGC and SF. Without either at his side, he has no power anymore and that is probably hard for him to grasp. Such loss takes a toll on one’s ego inevitably. But this should prove to be a good life lesson for him; Don’t let your feelings get in the way of doing what is necessary to the bigger picture/for the greater good. Oh and don’t fuck with something good and rare you have in hand, you may never get the chance to have it again. He’ll be fine though, he’s a good kid at heart.
Bye Mike. Thanks for everything. And good luck.

sorry but what you wrote is complete bullshit.
he actually jumped on the bandwagon and produced crosscounter episodes for sfv and even his own twitch show for…sfv! its not as if he didnt gave the game a chance and tried to push it. but at the end he dont liked it and moved away from it without to actually shit on it. you barely heard him saying anything bad about the game until that mobile game video and now his “interview”. he did not left things because he hoped or thought it will “fall apart” he just dont liked it…thats all. some people read way to much into the whole situation.

He didn’t stop because he didn’t like it. He stopped because Capcom did not financially back him. He took a financial risk to produce his show and it didn’t pay off, so then he went AWOL. The fact that he tried to push SFV in the beginning - one of the worst fighting games ever according to him - shows that there is no integrity in what he is saying or what he did. This was always about the money and the reality that he couldn’t keep up with the demands of the modern FGC.
Pretty sure if a sponsor sent some sweet esport cash his way he would be singing a different tune instead of the insipid “sour grapes” rant he has on now.
He strongly bemoans and decries the “dicksuckers” but that’s what he wanted be if Capcom actually took out its dick for him. It’s right there in his “interview”. But Capcom deemed him unworthy of a blowjob and Mikey went home blueballed.

he did that first…and now its

this…interesting. you twist things around the way you like huh…but with your perception of sfv´s state its not wonder that you make up your own world…
which money? maybe you should reread what he wrote.
“Weekly reports, presentations, etc… I had proved the concept that a CPT Centered talk show, Capcom Pro Talk, was something the community needed. After doing it 2 years Capcom told me it was a waste of time as it didn’t generate them any money (their costs for this were $0). This is what led me to kill the show. I spent money out of my own pocket to bring cool s*** to y’all but they didn’t appreciate that so f*** them.”

Capcom did not agree with his value assessment, and they are within their rights to. It doesn’t make them evil, it doesn’t make SFV bad, and it certainly does not diminish the FGC’s esport initiative.
It just hurt Mike’s ego and that is all what we are seeing. He was crushed by his own disappointment and expectations. Life doesn’t always give you what you want.
Mike owes me a lot cause I am also a Mike and all his fame and success should belong to me for using my name.

I don’t get acting like the FGC is a thing that makes decisions and has social obligations. The FGC is the collection of people at any given moment that happen to enjoy nerding out about fighting games. Some of them might be your friends, and many of them will be friendly acquaintances, but there’s nothing obliging any of them to form some sort of collective decisions about how they feel about you, or a particular game, or the idea of esports in general.
And just a life tip- if you ghost on 6000 of your friendly acquaintances, maybe don’t be shocked when 5996 of them don’t happen to remember what date your birthday falls on.
