It's amazing, over on year passes.... I was caught in this transition pool, coming here out of no where, not having played a SF game in one year(August 2000, Alpha 3). I wasn't much of a gamer during 2000, and 2001. But I really liked online games.
I went to a site called arcadepod.com, I wanted to play a game called sticman boxing(two stickmen fighting, the easiest game ever). But I couldn't find it. But suddenly... suddenly I found a game X-men vs Street Fighter online. I thought when I played it, it would just be a mockery fraud... but then the game was loading, I clicked OK, then I had to register....
I didn't know what to register with, I thought a few names, but they were no good, then me, and my friend agreed on Tarkan(a unit in ages of empires 2). I wanted to finish off the name with a "drastic meaning" so I added an "X" at the end of the user name.
Suddenly, there were a few options... about 7 I believe. there were 4 servers. I didn't know what to do, so I called on one of my friends Jason to fight me. He had no clue how to play either. When we both went to the last server, we challenged eachother. When I was trying to pick other characters, nothing would happen. I could only pick Ryu.
We both fought, I forgot how to do Ryu's special moves, like hadouken, shoryuken, and spin kick. So me and Jason did an original fight. He won the fight, and said he quit. My first fight was my first loss.... I wanted to get stronger. I went to practice to practice moves, and strategies. My best friend who was a street fighter fan told me how to do the moves. I did a Hadouken, and it worked, shoryuken, and spin kick worked too. But I remembered something, in XvSF, Ryu had a huge super. My friend told me how to do it. I did Shinkuu Hadouken, then I held my breath, and yelled(not very loud though).
After learning some techniques, I fought fights... I lost a lot of fights, but I won a lot of fights also. I had a 500 record. I wanted to get on the top 50, it was my destiny, for I had never done. Anyways, I got better, and better... Then I went up against the top 10....
My Opponent was RED-MOON, he was so strong.... nearly unstoppable. I felt like a rouge for he was the king. I asked for a fight, and he said yes. The first fight was intense, it was like he made no wrong moves. we matched eachother blow for blow, but he came out victorious. Then I was determined, we fought the 2nd time, and he almost won, but I won. the third I won, and the 4th he won. I actually beat a top 10 player. These people were really good back in the day.
Then there was this great player, he was very known, his name feared many, if opponents went up against him, they'd be beaten senseless.... his name was... Lordcyris. Lordcyris owned just about anyone. I got to fight against him. My first fight, I believe I won, but he wasn't trying I could tell.... the 2nd fight, he slaughtered me like he was the spider, and I was the fly. We went blow for blow. It was a 6-6 record we had.
I got into the top 50, and barely into the top 10. I was looking like I was one of the best at the time. A while later, I registered at the forums. I would of registered 4 days earlier, but after planetnamek, I hated forums... but then I registered as the 123rd registered user(I wouldve been the 89th). It was a clean, and peaceful forum, no flaming, no spamming, people would always get help with their intellegent questions, and get intellegent answers. It was like a utopia, a great one. Anyways, I went to challenges, and tournaments section(there were 4 sections, on the old forum at the time), there I saw a topic. It was a tournament by Necro2k1. I wanted a chance to prove myself to the world(even if it had some lag, its not as bad as it is now, don't believe TMyApp). I registered, overall, there were 8 people participating, let me try to remember those names.
Lordcyris
Ewalk
Leftyfb
CptnAmerica
Zao
B0ogie
Me
N/A Name(forgot the name)
Any who, my first opponent was supposed to be Zao, but he was a one time person(show up once then leave for good). So Lordcyris beat Ewalk, and Lordcyris had to fight Leftyfb(the people would think this would be intense, and it was from what I was told). I had to fight B0ogie, one of the poeple in the top 10. I shivered somewhat, I had to go up against one of the big guns. So when me, and B0ogie fought, it was like I was sucked into another dimension, where only there was two of us. We fought an intense fight, and I barely lost in 3 rounds. I was sad, but then I thought I could prove myself again, in a next tournament that would come up. B0ogie then said to fight him again. He wanted a best of 3, he said he liked a series fight. I smiled, then fought him again. I beat him twice, so I won the series 2-1. I then told B0ogie, since he won first, he would advance, then B0ogie said no. I won the series, so I advance to the finals. I thanked him, I wanted to repay him back some how, but he said I didnt need to.
On the same day, I fought what was said to be the best in this online game... Leftyfb. Leftyfb was the best of the best, mess with him, and you get dropped, stand in his way, and you'll get popped. Want a good fight, and he'll be all over you without you making a single move. That was Leftyfb, and I was going to accept his challenge. We fought, and man... it was so intense! we banged fists, and kicks together, matching every move we make. Hadouken-Hadouken, shoryuken-shoryuken, spin kick-spin kick. we dodged supers(this was the time that the hurricane kick was dramatically used, but not as used as the Shinkuu Hadouken). He won round one, I won round two... so it was down to one more round. He gave the final blow to me... I lost, but I was glad, I gave who was claimed the best in the online game a hard fight. I knew I had to be beaten to achieve a higher level, a level that wouldn't be comparable to anyone.
Just before Necro made his tourney, I was training someone, I trained him for so long... my first student was someone with the name of Kyle(this was his real name, not a user name). I kept training him, 20 fights, suddenly he kept getting stronger, with the will to fight! Then he said he had to go... I trained many, many more.... I said to myself, I want to train so I can have a good fight some day... I trained greats like Inclusive, Elena, Token(sort of).... anyways, I got stronger, so yeah...
Back to the tourney, Lordcyris beat Leftyfb, I was shocked(somewhat), but I also wanted this to happen. We have an even record, and it had to be broken. 6-6, who would win... many people said Lordcyris, but they didn't know my strength too well. Lordcyris was well known more than I was... but I was determined to get the win, and get that blue Ryu!. The bad thing is the helpers came during the finals. We had choices of Psylocke, Venom, Guile, and Spiral. We fought early morning on Saturday, and the fight was going to begin. we were ready for this. When we picked Ryu(of course). I wanted psylocke, but I got.... Venom.... argh!!! I was so pissed, the 2nd worst helper in hte game. Lordcyris got Guile. Though Guile is weak now, he was very formidable, his sonic boom took 1/3 of your life, it was hard to jump over, and mainly used for cornering, and trapping the opponent. Venom was good for.... nothing. So the fight began, Lordcyris was whopping me, it was like I came into this tournament for nothing, but I wanted to win! He won the first round easily, then the 2nd round, it was a do or die for me, I picked the do. I'm going to win this, I'm going to win this, I said to myself. Round 2 began, we matched blow for blow, like we did the past 12 fights we had before. I had to win. But something told me I wasn't. I never got the lead in round 2, and he beat me... barely... I didn't yell... I just stood their sitting, looking at my computer. I went to the forums, I wanted to say soemthing like, I just woke up, I wasn't at my best, but I was at my best, I shouldn't say anything scrubby like that!
I told Lordcyris that he won, and I was angry about Venom. TMyApp was happy, Necro was happy, as well as lordcyris of course. TMyApp would then give his blue Ryu to Lordcyris. The blue Ryu, even if it was a blue pallete swap of Ryu, it was like something special, like a gold Ryu, it was like it had special powers. I wanted to get a prize, so Ewalk held his tourney. This was going to look very successful. I had the west side, the big guns I had to fight were Leftyfb, and thats about all I can remember right now. But there was this hidden person, somewhat who wasn't known yet. Nferno666. He acted like life was sweet. I dind't fear him though, my fear was Leftyfb. Leftyfb said he would drop out of the tournament due to to much work. I had this division in the bag, for I thoguth I did. I fought Nferno666 at exactly midnight, it turned sunday. When I fought him, I was amazed, someone coming out of the light, and fighting like the big guns. We went to round 3. I wanted to win, I was determined, after my loss against lordcyris, I was shook, and wanted to win a tournament. Nferno did a Shinkuu Hadouken, I tried to dodge it, but I was too slow, he won. I guess I wasn't the best in the division. i told him good job, he just shruged me off...
Anyways, I went 6-1, and he went 7-0. The preliminaries were over, it was time for the real tournament, at this time, Wolverine was avaiable, but most people chose Ryu. And at this time, the top scores I got my 1,000th win against someone named Stockton, and I wqas 1st place, but I knew I needed something better than rank. Ewalk was no where to be found, thus the tournament was postponed for good. At the 2nd ranking, it was basically me vs Zing79. When I fought him, I thought he was a scrub. I was dead wrong. He beat me everywhere. If I did a move, he'd counter it with an even more powerful move. Zing kept beating me, he had a better win record, I was furious. I didn't want to admit he was better than me, but he was....
There were clans before Wolverine was here, and I had a reputation. "The Clan destroyer". I didn't really mean to destroy clans, I just wanted to make myself more better. I also thought it was useless having teams, whats the point of having teams if 4 player wasnt invented yet... I destroyed the Black Dragons, the Illusive clan... and I somewhat destroyed the XxxX clan(the first clan ever), you could say I was also a part of their clan, but never beared the name XxTarkanXxX.
I tried my luck with HTML during this time, I wanted to be the first person with a fan site(Ewalk doesnt count since his is a tourney site), my luck with HTML failed when I thought my site just plain sucked... Warmor then countered me, and made the first XvSF online fan site.
In November, after it was apparent that the Ryu's Drunken Brawl tournament would cease to exist, Zing79 took a step forward to host what was proclaimed as the best tournament of all time.... Tournament of Champions. This tournament had everything, a special website for the tournament, you had to pick which character you were going to use, most picked Ryu, but a few picked wolverine to back him up. I felt that I could win this tournament, that is if Zing gets eliminated. Finally the tournament began. I had a bye in the first round, I fought Chaoscrusher in round 2 and beat him 3-0, I fought Domincankid in roud 3 and beat him 3-0, and surprisingly in round 4, I beat JSL 3-0, someone who was favored to go far in the tourney(by me, and Zing anyways). Then I had to fight the person I showed this site to in late August, the person I sort of trained, the person who you could say was rebelious, for his User Name was... Token *dum dum dum*. We told eachother this would be a good match, and whoever wins, gets good luck. first match I beat him barely, math 2 he beat me, match 3 he beat me, then I was caught in a world. I was eating my ramen noodles to get better concentration. I breathed hard, and fought him in match 4. I barely beat Token in match 4, I thought I was going to lose, but I couldn't lose. In Match 5, the final match, I won round 1 barely, we kept throwing Shinkuu Hdoukens, and kept dodging them, then he won round 2 of match 5, then in round 3, I purposefully disconnected the game. You could say I cheated, but I had to get that tournament championship. So em and Token fought, and in 2 close rounds, I beat him. I beat him 3-2. SO I was supposed to fight Tantum in round 6, but something happened. Zing gave out an e-mail, but just like me, I don't check my e-mail much. So I got DQed against Tantum. I told Zing that I was too busy, but it was only because I forgot to check my mail, I was too lazy to check it.
Tantum got pissed, btu Zing requested something.... If I won, I'd advance to the finals, but if he won, he'd go to the finals. I said no, that I'd go out like I should've, but Zing requested it. I was lucky, and even luckier because I got to host first, due to my rank being 1st place at the time. I won match 1, he won match 2, I won match 3, he won match 4, then he said I was going to win because I host this next game, we won all our hosted matches. I played at my hardest, but I dind't think Zing was trying, Zing was harder than this when I fought him before. In match 5, I barely won, so I went to the finals. I yelled in hapiness, even if I did something wrong, I was back to where I was just a bit over 2 months ago. Many people got mad at me for not checking my mail, and Zing defended me, I thank him. Some vtererans like Selvin picked Tantum over me.But I wouldnt let something slip away, I didn't want to be caught off guard by the people, I had something to prove, and I wanted to prove it now!
I fought Tantum, he got angry, and said I will lag the fight. I shrugged him off. We fought, I won the 1st match, and he won the 2nd, I won the 3rd, and it was 2-1, one win away from immortality. Tantum wanted to fight Zing, btu I suspected because another reason why, he has a better record against Zing than me. The final round, I beat him, but it was a good fight. Even though I wanted it to be me vs Zing in the finals, and thats what many suspected it to be, I finally won a tournament, even if it was the wrong way to win.
People were angry at me, TMyApp wasn't happy, I suspect it was because I won the tournament, and Zing didn't, I had to fight Lordcyris to get the tournament prize, but he never showed up, so I won by default. it took 3 weeks to get ym Red Ryu, and Red Sentinel which everyone who fought me feared. More powerful than Psylocke, faster than Blanka.... with this prize, I won many of my matches, and became in first place once again by beating down the rank hungry Megapower21. During this time, Chunli came onto the scene, but many people stuck with Ryu, and a little while before Chunli, me, and CYan made Wolverine top tier, until people abused the drill claw. Also at this time, it was when I wanted qo quit, but this game still remained in my blood
On Christmas, I wanted to actually play Street Fighter without going on the online game, so I bought a playstation, with Alpha 3, Marvel vs Capcom, King of Fighters 99, Crash Team Racing, and Rival schools(2 discs). I wanted to be great, I had SF2: the world warrior with me for SNES, I felt like I was the king of fighters in Minnesota, even though I'm far from the king of fighters in Minnesota, most likely in my neighborhood thats for sure.
ToC2 came, many vets came back, but lost their touch. Itwas a one day tourney unlike ToC1. I had to fight the tournament winner: manontherun. I thought this would be easy, and it was, it was a best of 3, first person to 2 wins wins the whole thing. The first match, I won with ease. The 2nd match, I won with ease, he never beat me in a round, and never got my life to half. He was so angry, going berserk everywhere, he didn't get the prize because he lost to me, he made hate statements to me, he wanted a rematch, I just brushed him off.
My internet lost its connection in january, I couldnt play the game, or go on the net for 5 days, it was like I was panicing, but I got it back. before my ISP cut off my internet for a while, I trained fear tetsuo, he joined as various names back in september. I always beat him, and trained him, he thought of me as a teacher, I told him one day, he would be very recognized as a great one. When jump lock came, many people complained, I wasn't as good as I used to be since I relied on jumping so much. I met B0ogie that day, we fought, and I barely won. I fought others like PROfe$$or, and lost, and won. I went on a slide(a small one skid, it wasnt that bag). ToC3 came, and I realised that fear tetsuo was better than me. Oh yeah I forgot, Senshukentaikai was made 2 months ago, it had so much info about the Xmen vs Street Fightter online game, even a forum!
In the preliminaries of ToC3, I didn't do too good, I went 25-9 in the preliminaries, people said I lacked what I used to have, my Red Ryu was taken out to make it fair, no more red ryu, no more red sentinel. But in the true tournament of ToC3, I was what I was before I went on a slide. I beat PRO 3-0, went to the semi-finals, and beat Slk rik 3-1, I thought I was going to meet Nferno666 in the finals, but fear tetsuo beat him 3-2. I was shocked, I thought I would fight Nferno in the finals, but I guess I wouldn't. He was mad and angry, he felt like crying, I was upset. I had to face fear tetsuo, in the dark night... the wind breezed, and I was ready. Fear tetsuo had the reputation of being the most laggiest player in the game. I fought him, and was down 2-0. I said a few words of desperation. I won match 3, then I thought I was going to win match 4, I was a cenimeter close of winning, If my super jump worked, and if that Shinkuu Hadouken didn't hit me, it would be tied 2-2. but he won 3-1. I was angry, and furious, I was angry at myself, I was angry at everything. fear tetsuo was better than me. SO I admitted it. But then something went wrong the next few days, fear tetsuo thought stealth dragon was in his clan(smashers at the time), so he told him the password, then fear tetsuo was stripped of his title, and the title was given to me, I wanted the title on my own, but I guess I got it....
When the clan wars came, I was being bothered to join the drunken smashers, I said fine, so I joined it. I wanted it to be like a uto[ia clan, but it never got there.... Anywho, clan wars started, I wasnt as good as I used to be, got whipped by black ranger, wanted to be out of DS. lordcyris hosted a tourney with Z warri0r called survival of the fittest, hardly any people came to the tourney when it was the day to fight, so it was like Ewalks tourney, a lame duck tourney. In a race to get 1st place, asshoie wanted to get 1st, or 2nd, so he set up a plan with me. I was pretty much done with the game since I lost all my fighting spirit. He would just stand there, and I'd beat him, and get points, yes I cheated, I'm finally admitting it, this was just before 4-player. I got like 10,000+ points with this. When I have a lot of points, I'd be the one getting beaten just standing there by asshoie. Anywho, PRO became 1st, but I don't know hwo he did it....
In the next ranking, I was actually below 500, for the 1st time in a long time, since I 1st played. I was about to retire, so I became a forum juinkie. Many vets left, so it was me, and a few people. I hosted WT, but it never got anywhere, so KKS and hotsauce hosted it, now its getting a bit popular. Warrior hsted a Chunli tourney, I only fought one match in it, and actually gave up, due to chunli being so boring.
Night of the Sentinels came, people still used Ryu, but I was the best Sent user, until weezer beat some sense into me. Cyclops came, people became cheap with him, ######s came to the forum, and spammed it to hell, I got so bored, I felt like doing something people don't want, or most people don't want(Dan, Troy, you know what I'm talking about)
Today is September 10, 2002, I've been here for a year, what is there to do? Nothing, nothing on the game, nothing on the forums, just a bunchg of ######s roaring the place with spamming, flaming, useless posts, even my TarkanX's school for dumb asses didnt help one bit, my eyes are going blind right now, can't see very well....
By the way, I know I skipped a lot of information, I did that on purpose, I didn't want this to be too long.
Final Statement: I see the game getting popular, many people will leave it, ######s will join, people will fight for ranks, and thats it, the forums will get boring, people will leave it.... Yes I do believe the ######s can change into what was the forum the 1st time it came here, but thatll take a long time.
I h......hope this game gets better.... it has a whole lot of users, very easy to access, no one wouldve done this, I thank TMyApp for the memories that I had hear, and to many of the vets.
Please let this place be at its rightful name, and not a spam place, I know you have the ability to do it.
You can do whatever you want with this topic, for I don't care... my final statement.
Game Over
thanks for the memories

Leftyfb said he would drop out of the tournament due to to much work. I had this division in the bag, for I thoguth I did. I fought Nferno666 at exactly midnight, it turned sunday. When I fought him, I was amazed, someone coming out of the light, and fighting like the big guns. We went to round 3. I wanted to win, I was determined, after my loss against lordcyris, I was shook, and wanted to win a tournament. Nferno did a Shinkuu Hadouken, I tried to dodge it, but I was too slow, he won. I guess I wasn't the best in the division. i told him good job, he just shruged me off...
Anyways, I went 6-1, and he went 7-0. The preliminaries were over, it was time for the real tournament, at this time, Wolverine was avaiable, but most people chose Ryu. And at this time, the top scores I got my 1,000th win against someone named Stockton, and I wqas 1st place, but I knew I needed something better than rank. Ewalk was no where to be found, thus the tournament was postponed for good. At the 2nd ranking, it was basically me vs Zing79. When I fought him, I thought he was a scrub. I was dead wrong. He beat me everywhere. If I did a move, he'd counter it with an even more powerful move. Zing kept beating me, he had a better win record, I was furious. I didn't want to admit he was better than me, but he was....
There were clans before Wolverine was here, and I had a reputation. "The Clan destroyer". I didn't really mean to destroy clans, I just wanted to make myself more better. I also thought it was useless having teams, whats the point of having teams if 4 player wasnt invented yet... I destroyed the Black Dragons, the Illusive clan... and I somewhat destroyed the XxxX clan(the first clan ever), you could say I was also a part of their clan, but never beared the name XxTarkanXxX.
I tried my luck with HTML during this time, I wanted to be the first person with a fan site(Ewalk doesnt count since his is a tourney site), my luck with HTML failed when I thought my site just plain sucked... Warmor then countered me, and made the first XvSF online fan site.
In November, after it was apparent that the Ryu's Drunken Brawl tournament would cease to exist, Zing79 took a step forward to host what was proclaimed as the best tournament of all time.... Tournament of Champions. This tournament had everything, a special website for the tournament, you had to pick which character you were going to use, most picked Ryu, but a few picked wolverine to back him up. I felt that I could win this tournament, that is if Zing gets eliminated. Finally the tournament began. I had a bye in the first round, I fought Chaoscrusher in round 2 and beat him 3-0, I fought Domincankid in roud 3 and beat him 3-0, and surprisingly in round 4, I beat JSL 3-0, someone who was favored to go far in the tourney(by me, and Zing anyways). Then I had to fight the person I showed this site to in late August, the person I sort of trained, the person who you could say was rebelious, for his User Name was... Token *dum dum dum*. We told eachother this would be a good match, and whoever wins, gets good luck. first match I beat him barely, math 2 he beat me, match 3 he beat me, then I was caught in a world. I was eating my ramen noodles to get better concentration. I breathed hard, and fought him in match 4. I barely beat Token in match 4, I thought I was going to lose, but I couldn't lose. In Match 5, the final match, I won round 1 barely, we kept throwing Shinkuu Hdoukens, and kept dodging them, then he won round 2 of match 5, then in round 3, I purposefully disconnected the game. You could say I cheated, but I had to get that tournament championship. So em and Token fought, and in 2 close rounds, I beat him. I beat him 3-2. SO I was supposed to fight Tantum in round 6, but something happened. Zing gave out an e-mail, but just like me, I don't check my e-mail much. So I got DQed against Tantum. I told Zing that I was too busy, but it was only because I forgot to check my mail, I was too lazy to check it.
Tantum got pissed, btu Zing requested something.... If I won, I'd advance to the finals, but if he won, he'd go to the finals. I said no, that I'd go out like I should've, but Zing requested it. I was lucky, and even luckier because I got to host first, due to my rank being 1st place at the time. I won match 1, he won match 2, I won match 3, he won match 4, then he said I was going to win because I host this next game, we won all our hosted matches. I played at my hardest, but I dind't think Zing was trying, Zing was harder than this when I fought him before. In match 5, I barely won, so I went to the finals. I yelled in hapiness, even if I did something wrong, I was back to where I was just a bit over 2 months ago. Many people got mad at me for not checking my mail, and Zing defended me, I thank him. Some vtererans like Selvin picked Tantum over me.But I wouldnt let something slip away, I didn't want to be caught off guard by the people, I had something to prove, and I wanted to prove it now!
I fought Tantum, he got angry, and said I will lag the fight. I shrugged him off. We fought, I won the 1st match, and he won the 2nd, I won the 3rd, and it was 2-1, one win away from immortality. Tantum wanted to fight Zing, btu I suspected because another reason why, he has a better record against Zing than me. The final round, I beat him, but it was a good fight. Even though I wanted it to be me vs Zing in the finals, and thats what many suspected it to be, I finally won a tournament, even if it was the wrong way to win.
People were angry at me, TMyApp wasn't happy, I suspect it was because I won the tournament, and Zing didn't, I had to fight Lordcyris to get the tournament prize, but he never showed up, so I won by default. it took 3 weeks to get ym Red Ryu, and Red Sentinel which everyone who fought me feared. More powerful than Psylocke, faster than Blanka.... with this prize, I won many of my matches, and became in first place once again by beating down the rank hungry Megapower21. During this time, Chunli came onto the scene, but many people stuck with Ryu, and a little while before Chunli, me, and CYan made Wolverine top tier, until people abused the drill claw. Also at this time, it was when I wanted qo quit, but this game still remained in my blood
On Christmas, I wanted to actually play Street Fighter without going on the online game, so I bought a playstation, with Alpha 3, Marvel vs Capcom, King of Fighters 99, Crash Team Racing, and Rival schools(2 discs). I wanted to be great, I had SF2: the world warrior with me for SNES, I felt like I was the king of fighters in Minnesota, even though I'm far from the king of fighters in Minnesota, most likely in my neighborhood thats for sure.
ToC2 came, many vets came back, but lost their touch. Itwas a one day tourney unlike ToC1. I had to fight the tournament winner: manontherun. I thought this would be easy, and it was, it was a best of 3, first person to 2 wins wins the whole thing. The first match, I won with ease. The 2nd match, I won with ease, he never beat me in a round, and never got my life to half. He was so angry, going berserk everywhere, he didn't get the prize because he lost to me, he made hate statements to me, he wanted a rematch, I just brushed him off.
My internet lost its connection in january, I couldnt play the game, or go on the net for 5 days, it was like I was panicing, but I got it back. before my ISP cut off my internet for a while, I trained fear tetsuo, he joined as various names back in september. I always beat him, and trained him, he thought of me as a teacher, I told him one day, he would be very recognized as a great one. When jump lock came, many people complained, I wasn't as good as I used to be since I relied on jumping so much. I met B0ogie that day, we fought, and I barely won. I fought others like PROfe$$or, and lost, and won. I went on a slide(a small one skid, it wasnt that bag). ToC3 came, and I realised that fear tetsuo was better than me. Oh yeah I forgot, Senshukentaikai was made 2 months ago, it had so much info about the Xmen vs Street Fightter online game, even a forum!
In the preliminaries of ToC3, I didn't do too good, I went 25-9 in the preliminaries, people said I lacked what I used to have, my Red Ryu was taken out to make it fair, no more red ryu, no more red sentinel. But in the true tournament of ToC3, I was what I was before I went on a slide. I beat PRO 3-0, went to the semi-finals, and beat Slk rik 3-1, I thought I was going to meet Nferno666 in the finals, but fear tetsuo beat him 3-2. I was shocked, I thought I would fight Nferno in the finals, but I guess I wouldn't. He was mad and angry, he felt like crying, I was upset. I had to face fear tetsuo, in the dark night... the wind breezed, and I was ready. Fear tetsuo had the reputation of being the most laggiest player in the game. I fought him, and was down 2-0. I said a few words of desperation. I won match 3, then I thought I was going to win match 4, I was a cenimeter close of winning, If my super jump worked, and if that Shinkuu Hadouken didn't hit me, it would be tied 2-2. but he won 3-1. I was angry, and furious, I was angry at myself, I was angry at everything. fear tetsuo was better than me. SO I admitted it. But then something went wrong the next few days, fear tetsuo thought stealth dragon was in his clan(smashers at the time), so he told him the password, then fear tetsuo was stripped of his title, and the title was given to me, I wanted the title on my own, but I guess I got it....
When the clan wars came, I was being bothered to join the drunken smashers, I said fine, so I joined it. I wanted it to be like a uto[ia clan, but it never got there.... Anywho, clan wars started, I wasnt as good as I used to be, got whipped by black ranger, wanted to be out of DS. lordcyris hosted a tourney with Z warri0r called survival of the fittest, hardly any people came to the tourney when it was the day to fight, so it was like Ewalks tourney, a lame duck tourney. In a race to get 1st place, asshoie wanted to get 1st, or 2nd, so he set up a plan with me. I was pretty much done with the game since I lost all my fighting spirit. He would just stand there, and I'd beat him, and get points, yes I cheated, I'm finally admitting it, this was just before 4-player. I got like 10,000+ points with this. When I have a lot of points, I'd be the one getting beaten just standing there by asshoie. Anywho, PRO became 1st, but I don't know hwo he did it....
In the next ranking, I was actually below 500, for the 1st time in a long time, since I 1st played. I was about to retire, so I became a forum juinkie. Many vets left, so it was me, and a few people. I hosted WT, but it never got anywhere, so KKS and hotsauce hosted it, now its getting a bit popular. Warrior hsted a Chunli tourney, I only fought one match in it, and actually gave up, due to chunli being so boring.
Night of the Sentinels came, people still used Ryu, but I was the best Sent user, until weezer beat some sense into me. Cyclops came, people became cheap with him, ######s came to the forum, and spammed it to hell, I got so bored, I felt like doing something people don't want, or most people don't want(Dan, Troy, you know what I'm talking about)
Today is September 10, 2002, I've been here for a year, what is there to do? Nothing, nothing on the game, nothing on the forums, just a bunchg of ######s roaring the place with spamming, flaming, useless posts, even my TarkanX's school for dumb asses didnt help one bit, my eyes are going blind right now, can't see very well....
By the way, I know I skipped a lot of information, I did that on purpose, I didn't want this to be too long.
Final Statement: I see the game getting popular, many people will leave it, ######s will join, people will fight for ranks, and thats it, the forums will get boring, people will leave it.... Yes I do believe the ######s can change into what was the forum the 1st time it came here, but thatll take a long time.
I h......hope this game gets better.... it has a whole lot of users, very easy to access, no one wouldve done this, I thank TMyApp for the memories that I had hear, and to many of the vets.
Please let this place be at its rightful name, and not a spam place, I know you have the ability to do it.
You can do whatever you want with this topic, for I don't care... my final statement.
Game Over
thanks for the memories
