If it wasn't for Mike Ross and PogChamp (to a much, much lesser extent) where would Gootecks be now?

probably still trying to be a DJ
yeah that's true. If you take Mike away from either of those shows nobody would really give a damn anymore lol
I think those training sessions are going pretty well for him and Mike's not involved with those. I'm actually surprised he's not doing them in Europe and Asia, too.If it wasn't for Mike Ross and PogChamp (to a much, much lesser extent) where would Gootecks be now?

If Gootecks didn't start the whole thing as a local tournament organizer, web designer, streamer and podcast host and pick up Mike Ross, where would Mike Ross be now? Mike Ross and Steve are basically Gootecks' video production crew, I don't know why everybody always thinks Mike is the crux of the whole thing.

It was a crude, not well thought out joke that wasn't supposed to be some deep thing. I am not some FGC OG that knows everything behind the scenes. I watched a lot of his stuff to help me when I was a noob, I appreciate his content. But since I have been more into the FGC I hear and watch more about Mike than I do Gootecks is all. Especially since he has been struggling in tournaments lately. Truly, I hope he does well with Urien because America is free and all that.

I'm guessing because Mike regularly commentates big events, hosts a show and overall appears to have more going on in his life.
Gootecks is still a tournament player and that's all we really see from him on the surface.

Yep: http://www.crosscountertraining.com/trainers/
Check their rates, he gets his share. Floe and Wong mentioned they were giving lessons from time to time.

$100 bucks a hour...

I have a few friends who have wanted to improve and signed up for lessons. The first one is done through CCT but then the trainer usually sets something up off-site
Win/win for trainer and trainee as trainer doesn't have to split up money and the trainee pays less.

Pretty interesting considering. I took a lesson from J Wong during the Super SF IV days and it was like 30 bucks for an hour.
That sounds fishy af lol

Time is money.
Set an insane price to deter most people from wasting your time and for the very few that have that expendable money, you just made a percentage of $100 by doing nothing.

Demand must be there since prices have gone up. It's expensive, but if people are buying it, who cares.
Also, I find my new favorite type of player. Those that learned to mash jab in every decisive situation. I can test all my meaty-setups and rounds last 10 seconds sometimes.

Varies based on the person.
If you sign up thinking getting an hour lesson from F. Champ is going to make you win your locals easily then no you won't benefit. You need to be in the lab and have the dedication to improve and have their knowledge supplement that.
It's like going to a sports camp

Shit nigga lemme start a training program for 20 an hour. I reached platinum so I gotta be doing something right.
You seriously don't have to pay anything to get better. Literally just watch videos, go to training mode, then try to apply what u are specifically trying to learn into a real match. Doesn't matter if u get bopped just try to practice what you wanna improve on, improve, then go on to the next thing you wanna improve on.
Battle lounges are your best friend son. That's how you improve on who you play, that's how you improve on matchups, then bam you've improved.
Shits not gonna happen overnight. I feel like I finally got a general grasp of things after like a year or more (I started playing fighting games srsly with marvel 3)
I'm the nigga who had trouble getting out of silver for a hot minute. Next thing you know bam here I am at almost super plat. I don't even play as much as others do.

That method doesn't work for everyone though which is where this comes into play. It's mainly for those who don't know how to get better. Those that don't understand the importance of the neutral and correct spacing or knowing that when someone gets into a certain range not to throw a fireball because they can jump in for free, this is something they can't learn by just watching top players.

We've seen this on Cross Counter when Mike left to do his own thing and Gootecks posted mostly tutorials and crappy DJ shit and nobody cared.

At first I thought it was a VR headset
I learn a lot from watching my replays and see all the garbage I've been doing
Like anything with multiple lessons you can definitely improve your game by having the knowledge and the hands on advice of knowing how and when you need to adapt your playstyle. Lessons can help in that regard, especially having someone directly tell you something you may not have known or brought to the forefront of your mind; awareness is key. I only took one lesson once to learn something specific to my game when I mained Guy in SSFIV. Justin helped me develop a few new tactics and options when I fought against some of the YOLO characters like Blanka.

You don't need no lesson to get good at fighting game lol. Just time and patience. Also ability to understand and correct your mistakes. But mostly just practice and play time. That's really all you need. It helps if you have the natural talent for the game. Can grasp things faster or have naturally good reaction time.
Yeah no one needs a lesson but saying it doesn't help is wrong, it can make you see things faster and clearer. It's really for the people who don't have locals they can go to and improve, or having a sparring partner who is in their same skill range.

Having a coach helps though, I have a friend who's pretty scrubby, but I've helped him improve a lot simply by using voice chat during our matches, sure you can watch videos, but having someone actually giving you pointers helps a lot.

You don't need to pay to learn anything but if you have zero framework or knowledge then it will impede your ability to learn through practice. It's easier to learn from your mistakes if you know what to pay attention to.

Is there someone here with a PC SFV with the name Fighter ID/CFN of StuntDouble?, keep getting battle lounge requests and I have no idea who they are. Also I haven't played the game in ages, how did they know I was playing it now? Is there now a PC website that tells you when specific players are online?

Them charging what amounts to over 200k a year if you did 40 hours a week for a year is nuttery

Everything you REALLY needed to know for a SF framework is still right there in the footsies handbook. After reading that I got an understanding for why top players did the things they did.

Another misleading thing is people thinking those are the best people to teach you, often times those people can be very poor teachers.

Consultants who get paid hourly for short term engagements charge a lot. Converting it to annual/40 hours a week doesn't really make sense.

Of course I know some who do stuff for $400 a hour for a few weeks outta the year.
But I don't think the value of what they are proposing is worth that that much. Kbrad's rate is sensible.
which is probably why gootecks is more expensive than jwong , xian or anyone else
He's pretty good at teaching fundamentals
