Super Smash Bros. Melee luminary Bobby Scar makes his debut on Excellent Adventures! The founder of Melee It On Me is well-known in the Smash community for being a top player as well as an entertaining commentator. But what does he know about Street Fighter? Rumor has it he's been training with Mike and in an effort to get some cross-community pollination going, we gave him a shot to showcase his Ryu skills. But as you'll see in this batch, it appears as though Mike has also been giving lessons in "confidence," as Bobby's ego inflates with each correct read to the behest of gootecks who feels like he's been sucked into a bizarro world with not one but TWO Mikes to deal with. Mike and Bobby drive gootecks nuts who also tries to instill the values of a smart Street Fighter player into Bobby. Does it work? That remains to be seen!
