Street Fighter V looms on the horizon, and there’s never been a better time to get into the most popular fighting game franchise of all time.

We got to hang out with Mike Ross, Twitch’s partnerships lead in the Fighting Game Community, at Twitch's San Francisco headquarters. Ross is renowned for his analysis and commentary — and the sheer volume of memes that the Street Fighter community makes of him. He co-hosts “The Excellent Adventures of Gootecks & Mike Ross” on YouTube, and was most recently an analyst at Capcom Cup 2015, Ultra Street Fighter IV’s grand finale tournament held in December.

Check out the video above, where we ask Mike Ross what his keys to learning and improvement in Street Fighter are. He has some sage advice that any competitive gamer can take to heart.
