Guuts, watching you and Mike Ross has been really entertaining-- I’m glad we’re in 2012 so that I could see you guys on youtube instead of only having garbage on TV to turn to.

Fighting game content was not what made you entertaining; you have great presence, are funny and should be behind the camera in some capacity. Looking forward to what you’ll do next!

Def, wish you the best Gootecks sir. as said above. you have contributed so much to the community, in the spot line and behind the scenes. I can only imagine the time, effort and heart put into what you do, along with dealing with the issues, heartaches and stress. You sir are not only a good person but a great leader. I wish you luck in your future, its not like you are disappearing but hope to meet you in person some day. best wishes, God bless and press forward. As you said once before in a video. you can’t be content once you reach a point, you must push forward, take it to the next level, expand and pioneer.

thanks for everything gootecks, we really really appreciate all the work to bring us great content such as crosscounter live, bar fights, and everyones favorite excellent adventures. all good things come to and end though, hope nothing but the best comes to you in the future

You’re a hell of a dude, Gootecks. Don’t let the idiots and old men ruin what you’ve accomplished. A lot of people know what this scene owes you. We’ll be here when you come back.

So what happened?

He was a valuable asset to the FGC.

Come back pog champ. I need to steal that title

Conspiracy time: What if his semi-retirement is just to build backstage drama. What if Keits and Mr. Wizard become the Vince and Shane McMahon and run the FGC into the ground. Then Gootecks can come out with a beer truck and hose the place down?

It could happen.

…Aaaanndd hes back!

Yeap… took a whole 18 or so hours before we hear Gootecks on stream again…

And he’s back.

I wouldn’t say he’s back so much as Mike Ross dragged him to WNF and is essentially twisting his arm to stay.

He didn’t want to be on stream, didn’t stay long on the mic, and sounded like he just wanted to go home.

The important thing is he’s done with Crosscounter, which is a huge blow because that, like so many other people, got me watching streams and more involved outside my local community. It’s also discouraging because the dynamic duo that is Gootecks and Mike Ross can’t be replaced. They had that inviting charisma that made you feel like you’ve known them for years. You can’t just find some random dude to fill those shoes.

Big props to Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez for everything he’s done, I’m glad he’s not perma leaving the scene. I just hope he returns one day with bigger and better ideas. We need innovators like him to breathe life into this scene.

Respect to Gootecks for being one of the first to get in on that '09 hustle.

…I feel like I should be mortal enemies with jhunhoon, though.

Bye Gootecks

Deep inside, part of me is still in denial and is hoping that the only reason he’s doing this, is because he’s working on something big with Rockefeller.

"The Story of Johnny Dangerous"
A Gootecks Production

I think Gootecks can pull a Bobby Fischer.

Gootecks once pulled my unconscious body out of a pit of quicksand and murdered the leopard that was about to eat me with his bare hands, true story.

Seriously, regardless of one’s opinion of his skill/lack thereof in fighters, the guy was a blast to watch, totally lovable, and put a shitload of time and effort into making people who’d never heard of fighters see why they should care about them. Thanks for that, and for all the enormously enjoyable vids. :slight_smile:
