xflipkidx asked: Hey gootecks! I wanna say that I love you and Mike Ross. You guys are amazing, and I love your channel. I was reading through your blog and I came across the meter management post.

Also I'm having trouble with certain characters with...

tylerggrin asked: What's going on gootecks? Been a long time fan of yours and Cross Counter as well. Here's my question to you. I've been playing fighting games since I can remember and I've always played pad. Here within the last couple of months, I decided that I wanted to get more serious with them and bought me a joystick. I never realized that switching to stick after never, ever learning...

Adjustments to Gameplan and Tracking Progress
NOTE: Feel free to re-publish this article anywhere as long as you don’t change it and keep the links back please.
For no good reason other than the fact that I think going to Japan inspired me, I’ve been playing more. A lot of people might not realize, but I do know how to play this game. ^_^ Playing for a few days in Japan made me understand why I had not been playing as well as...

salaciousmusic asked: Do you know anymore female players in the scene because all I see is Sherry? I wish to see more. Love your show and YT channel btw. :)
xflipkidx asked: Hey Gootecks! Any Rose tips you can provide for a guy that is trying to main her? I need some new tech, because I am only dependent on Rose's BnB. Then I learned from you that I can BnB into Super. I need to work on footsies and pokes, any suggestions? + Can you make a video explaining Frame Data? It would be much appreciated, thanks so much! Btw, love CrossCounterLive, Excellent/Ultimate...
gknightz asked: You guys have done a great job on the various tutorials that you have produced. Very high quality and the fact that they are free on youtube just speaks to how much you care about growing the scene. Thanks so much for that! Would you ever consider doing a Balrog tutorial or Mike Ross consider doing a E. Honda tutorial video similar to what you guys did with Air and Ryu? Would love to know how you...

problemdatabase asked: I'm 26 and I live in Long Beach, CA. I'm starting to get seriously in to Street Fighter IV but NONE of my friends play. I've been competitive at other fighting games before and know that live play with other people is an important part of learning the game. Online is cool, but I'd like it if there was a group of people I could learn from and play with. There's so much to...

anguirus asked: Hi Gootecks I just started getting into the fighting scene and was just wondering how do most top players that aren't picked up by a sponsor at least, manage to afford the travel costs to go to tournaments and the time to put in to practice without having to work a 9 to 5?

romanticcure asked: Hey gootecks, I asked this on twitter but just in case, I was wondering what kind of monitor you and Mike use when recording Excellent Adventures? I watched the hardware episode of Crosscounter, and I bought the Hauppauge HD PVR. I was thinking about buying the Asus monitor they use at Evo, but you mentioned that it doesn't have component cables.
theniteone asked: Hey watsup Gootecks! Hows it going I love your show. I just wanted to say I am a random gamer from NY. I was thinking about starting an east coast cross counter of sorts. I would love you guys support and any help you can give. I know alot of top players and I know its hard for them to travel all the way to Cali and I feel like it would be cool if we could get some more east coast guests. Lastly...
