2nd interview with the master! - Finally, a reason for being here :)

Well, well... looks like my silver tongue has done it again. Let's just have a little looksee at the convo me and TMyApp had here.


2000warrior: Hey, would you be up for another interview like the one Quass did since the game's about to aproach it's 3rd birthday?
TMyApp: Um.. ok :)


Damnit I'm good :biggrin:

Now, seriously, since the game's about to approach it's 3rd year of existence (well, since the original online version was released in Aug. 7, 2001), we'll be conducting an interview.

For anyone who can remember Quass' old interview, the rules will be pretty much the same. Everyone may submit as many questions as they like, but we can only use 1 per person, and only 10 questions will be chosen. Mods and NWO, feel free to submit your questions as well.

As for the questions, pretty much anything goes for them as well. Just don't expect your question to be chosen if it follows the lines of "wats ur fav source 4 ripped dvd's?"

That seems to be it... post your questions here until Aug. 7th by noon (est US time) at which time I'll have this topic closed. Not certain on when the responses will be able to be posted though. We'll try to get them up within about a week, but it all depends on how often TMy's online and willing to "chat".

Let it begin!

[blanka09]

haha... good one :biggrin: You'll be hearing from me soon

[TMyApp]

2000warrior: do i even know you ?? :biggrin:

2000warrior: do i even know you ?? :biggrin:
i will post soone to be continued

[Ludacris]

How does it feel to be loved, respected and hated by thousands of people that U never saw in your life?

:corky:

[MasterX05]

Here is a good question,

Ok since the Theme has changed for the game to SFO like Street fighter Alpha and this would be its first aniversity of SFO. Would you ever give the thought of inputting SF Alpha fighters that can maybe replace the non popluar helpers like Venoum and spiral. Or just add on the the list of helpers. Such as Saget,Gen,Cody....etc?

[Ludacris]

do U have kids? :biggrin:

thought people would post more......... dammit ask questions people.......maybe your question will be chosen

[MasterX05]

Got any women in your life TMy? :D

[Virtual Fighter]

do you by any means think what Marve1 did was wrong?


Do you tihnk that in the near futer something along the lines of the old problem would happen again?

Also, do you know any of the SFO community members in real life? does any one know you?

aLso, when you first created the game, did you ever think it would be as big as it is?

and.. do you ever sometimes feel the bitching, flaming, cheating, cybering is too much for you, and wanna delete the game, and drop off the face of the earth?

[Wave Master]

3 questions for me

1. How old are you

2. Where do you work

3. How much do you get payed

[coolkilla]

1. How old are you

2. Where do you work

3. How much do you get payed
ok now u people r getting too personal with the questions if i was tmyapp i wouldnt answer some ofupeoples questions..well anywayz my question is did u have to go to school and become a computer programmer to be able to make this game?

[KingofStreetfighter101]

Evil-Blanka That Question Has Already Been Answered..[quote]I'd say the idea to make a multiplayer game inside a browser came to me sometime in Winter 2001. The idea originated from looking at DailyRadar's "Top 10 games of all time" list (man I miss those guys). If I remember it right, "Street Fighter 2" was in the top 3 and so was another game that I considered "remaking" for quite some time. (this "mistery" game's name will not be mention, since it's fate is still unknown) And so, after spending a few hours/days, I decided to re-make "Super Street Fighter 2" (the arcade version).

As the days went by, I started to realize how much I really didn't care for the game (sure it's a classic, sure it would have been WAY easier to do, in fact, we might have had all 8+ characters by now) and how "retro" it was compared to today's fighting games (don't flame me for saying all this).

My heart was always in the marve| universe, thus, the obvious choice was to make

[RyusRevenge]

Whats your overall goal for SFO/ What do u hope to achieve at the end???

Here Is The Link To The First Interview, So You Make Sure You Don't Repeat The Same Question :biggrin: http://www.vgmfusion.com/senshuk/home/articles/qarticle4-1.html



Edited By KingofStreetfighter101 on July 21 2004 at 22:12

[evilryu200]

will there be any marve| character?

will this game always have lag?

how did u become and admin? =P

KingofStreetfighter101: Thank you for pointing that out.

Everyone: Remember, you can always ask MORE than 1 question, just that only 1 of your questions will be chosen (thats IF one of them does get chosen).

[SSJKarma]

I want to know those... i pretty much know already but i want more details on it...

1 - With your favorite company pulling the plug off on you, how did you felt toward them after it ?

2 - What is your line of work now that XMvsSF is no more ? i mean will you defy marve| and input marve| chars again or will you turn this into a STREET FIGHTER only game ?

3 - When did you take your last vacation from SFO ? (we all know you need it TMy :colgate: don't try to hide it)

4 - Will you ever tell us what the T My App means ? (well last time you didn't answered the question and you were supposed to, i think its time to retry asking for it)

5 - What kind of job do you have to be able to keep this up ? (truly maxed out credit cards is not good, but to be able to keep this up this long is a miracle in itself. i would probably kill to have that much money)

6 - Do you like your life up to now, or do you think your dreams are far from being complete ? (i mean SFO is one thing, but is it really worth your time and effort.)

that's about all i can think of.
can't wait to see that interview !
hope it's as funny as the other one.

[KingofStreetfighter101]

Don't post personalized emails/pms from TMyApp. If you have questions about them, take them up with him.

BTW ppl, don't ask any questions which have already been asked in the first interview. I've already seen one, and I'm sure there are more. Check the first "interview with the master" at senshuk to see what questions have and have not been asked.

thank you.

#1. Have you ever woken up one day and asked yourself "Why bother" and thought about shutting the whole thing down?

#2. What is your favorite movie of all time?

#3. What is your favorite restaurant?

Do you have any special characters/colors/moves that you only use?


Would you ever just go on vaction for 3 weeks without telling us and leave us hanging without SFO for the whole time.....and then when you get back we could all learn how much we appreciate what you do everyday?

okay.. this one is a real one..

if you could make it all legit, would you?

[TJ5]

What was the hardest thing you had to add or modify in the game itself ?

Do you hope to see this game you have created be played in lets say 10 years from now, and would you still be working on it 10 years from now ? Just a thought.

Also my last question
I would like to make video games when I am older, and sfo kinda inspired me to do that..lol, What kind of education would you advise me to take. Also what kind of strategies could you give to me so I can be sucessfull when I start my career ?

[VampireNinja]

^^^Damn..That post was whacked up!...2000,can we post personal questions..Like..Whats your fav food..etc?

[DarkstriderX]

Hmmm.. I think I have one

What type of personality traits or repsonsibilities do u look for when ever coming off of your mountain top to Carefully choose a moderator for this heavenly project.. ProjectX will never die..

Have u ever woke up in da morning and looked in da mirror and say damn Im smart.. :)

How many people have u worked with that you despise with a passion.. Like Tim allen in that movie "Joe Somebody"

[Roll]

...

1) What is the truth behind the creation of this game? It is a little hard to see *you* (not that anyone knows you personally) making this completely out of good-will for the fans, or just to tickle your fandom fancies. Is there a hidden reason behind this; something you don't tell others about?

2)If you were able to change something, anything about yourself... would you? And why?

3)Tell us... why do you hide so much about yourself? Your personality, many of your dislikes, even more of your likes, etc. What could be so dastardly strange about you that would make you hide the things that even many paranoid Internet users share everyday?

[azncat]

hm... just got 3 questions...:

1) whats your personality

2)what do you do when your not online (or helping sfo)

3)do you really like what you do?

[vx_unicom]

1.Whats the most inspiring thing about this production and the forum, that gives you the courage to keep on working and making this game greater?

2.Would you consider making other productions in the near Future?

--Thats all..,thank you for your time.



Edited By vx_unicom on July 26 2004 at 12:34

Let me ask just 2 questions...

1:tmyapp...does that have to do with your real name?

2:Whats your favourite type of music..?

[PSYCHO]

I'd like to know what his other job is besides sfo cuz he can't pay his bills w/o havin a dayjob and turn into a guy that owns a game on the internet

[DA_VIPA]

whats d formulae to calculate power,speed and the area of a 3d cone?

[Angel-Eyes]

cones dont have power or speed.......

have you ever been playing SFO and you play some n00b and you get so mad that you just bann him?

[Vash]

Tmyapp when was the last time you playd streetfighter online and mostly everyone saw you?

[Hollis]

oh yes 1 more question....

what inspired you to make this game? was it others? was it family? friends? who?
That question has already been answered in the previous interview azn :biggrin: The person who asked this question was gotenks :biggrin:

[quote]This first question comes from Gotenks, He wants to know: "What inspired you to make this game and when did you get that inspiration?"
Hmm, good question Gotenks. I'd say the idea to make a multiplayer game inside a browser came to me sometime in Winter 2001.

[coolkilla]

1.)I the event of a tie say about 20,000 votes for charlie and 20,000 for cammy who would win?
2.)I know that u have to had graduated from college and majored in some type of computer technology what did u major in?
3.)When do you plan on not upgrading this game anymore..and will you leave the game to someone that you taught how to create these games..
4.)About how long will it take for all the characters to be added to the game...(with the exception of the marve| characters)

[DarkstriderX]

Kool questions.. Coolkilla.. :biggrin:

[Restavega]

here is a question...

While developing the game, then and now, what has always been your biggest distraction? (maybe the Simpsons? Family? Work? etc.)

[JusBlaze]

Would u enjoy having to input Zangief and introduce grabs in the game?

And woulf having Zangief already in the game could that make all other characters easier and faster now that the hard part is over.

[(X-F)Xavier]

Why waste 3 years on a game which you had no permission to even do so?

Why do you choose to remain so mysterious when everyone knows your just like everyother jack in the box, honestly do you think your cool or something by only speaking with your admins and no one else?

[Metal_Ken]

Why did u make the game.

How many more years tell every character is put on street fighter online.

Do u use cheats for the game.

If the marve| company told u to stop using their characters why are u still using wolver

[SBYRD5]

I think TMyApp liked music by Tupac...not sure...

I had an english teacher who was carcassian she too was jamming to the floetry of 2-pac.

PHYSCO=Also Xavier likes this place just fine he just likes to cause some attention.He enjoys this community just fine.....he's just depressed and outstrokes mental fustration in the only way he knows how with out him expressing himself in a fashion he considers to be a weakness.

Coolkilla=3,4,and your recent question were answered in the first interview.He said that it would take to long to teach a novice all of his skills....it would take years...only he can travel this route.

In the first interview he said he thought he'd be done in 4 through 7 years.....

He plays the game on sundays....after 1:00 am through 2:00am.

1)Which do you recommend T-Man....Quiznos or Subway.I mean Quizno's is pretty good the soups are bad ass.Subway has a real fresh setting.This is important.

2)Pizza Hut or dominos.....did you like that philly cheese steak pizza that came out.did you like Pzones.Did you like buffolo wings man.Which company has the supreme buffolo wings.Do you like chessy bread.....have you ever had anchovy pizza..T-man have you ever mixed anchovies...mushrooms.....pineapples together.....and dipped it in that pizza sauce...man thats a good taste...=)

3)Did you ever work at a fast food court.An auto shop.Err well basicily Blue collar jobs...have you ever worked a blue collar job during your youth.....if you do presentily that's none of my concern,but if you feel umm relaxed answering that question shoot hero dude.

4)Have you ever been bloody drunk? I recall the last interviewbeing in a bar setting being that a pun or not.Are you often a Drunken Smasher?

5)Did you like The Drunken Smashers [b]clan...hey did you ever consider joining a clan yourself TMyapp? Here's a bigger question have you ever payed attention to the status of clans in the SFO community?Could you name the clans on top of your head?Are you proud to know we organized the groups to enjoy our SFO experience with more conflict?

6)Would you ever host a tournament?Well the first offical tournament.Would you consider making a clan section in the SFO forum?Also would you ever host a clan war..yourself?A matter a fact will you ever create a clan yourself...well when the game is complete?

7)Have you ever watched anime.....what kind appeals to you?

8)Do you like westerns...which kind appeal to you.

9) Have you watched marve| or capcom anime on TV. I recall

[RyusRevenge]

YEAH ANSWER QUESTION 10....(its iori little mistake there sbyrd)....hes gotta come seeing as though hes a capcom player. hes compatible with rage factor as he has an alternate evil form.

[RyusRevenge]
