First day here. (October 5 2001)
I found the site on arcadepod.
Came straight to the projectx site.
Clicked START.
Waited....waited...waited some more.
XvsSF news popped up. I read it..the votes were in...wolverine was to be next...3 weeks to go.
I waited...waited..waited...waited....
Got bord....real bord...clicked the FAQ.
Read the ENTIRE faq section of XvsSF.
Waited..waited...waited..
Got bord...clicked the FORUM....got realy confused...i had never seen a forum before...something totaly unfamilair to me.
The game finished loading. I closed the forum.

I watched the XvsSF Intro...and went "WOW!" This is no ordinary shockwave game...theres something special about this one."

I created a user name (nosoul4evr) went straight to the OPTIONS section,and promptly changed my settings.
then entered the chat.

Pretty dead...not alot of users at all.
I denied the first couple challanges...i was looking for a "big dog"...and i found one...some guy named "Pandora". I challanged him...and was quickly swept away to the character select screen....where I could only choose Ryu.

I was kinda dissapointed..but figured..ehh it's a FREE shockwave game...ya cant expect too much. With just the intro alone...it had already surpassed any other shockwave game I had seen to date,so I was pretty happy...I figured Wolverine was next..and that was gonna be the end of the games development....Boy was I mistaken.

Well anyways...Pandora and I entered the match...and I proceeded to get my ass thoughly wasted...Pandora fought me 3 times and finaly "shut me off".

Once I returned to the chat...I asked the oldest question in XvsSF history, "How do you do the specials?"...everybodies reply in general was "Get screwed,n.o.o.b!"
Well that pissed me right off...in the biggest way.
Then some person (i cant remember who) challanged me to a fight...I accepted..once in the game...I began my poor fighting styles....The chat boxed opened, "Hey?"
I stopped and we chatted for a second...during this time...this player told me to "slow down" when I tried to preform the moves...we resumed fighting...and I didnt listen to his advise...I fought like a n.o.o.b, hamming the buttons..He tried to tell me to stop,I didnt...he had a high rank and i wanted the points...he left the game...and i never saw him again.
I tried for 2 days trying to get "techniques" off of people and the answer was always the same.."Get screwed,n.o.o.b!"

Finaly on Oct 7 2002 I joined the forum,in a last ditch effort to get some help....learned to navigate the forum..and noticed all the flaming going on...so i didnt post a question asking how to do the moves. But I did find the help I needed....some dude name "Warmor" had made a site about the game...I visited the site...and got my reward for a job well done searching...I then was armed to enter the XvsSF realm with my new found knowledge,and try to kick some butt.
But once I entered the PRACTICE mode to test these moves out on helpless Barney...I discovered...the moves where VERY hard to execute...So I began testing...and testing...and testing...and trained my self till i could preform the moves accurately.

The rest of the story gets VERY long indeed...so i wont bore ya'll with it. :D

first time here:

I was bored one day, nothing to do, so I went to arcadepod.com. I saw a game called XvSF, I remembered playing the game 4 years ago(1997), I thought it was fake, btu I wanted to check it out anyways. When the game was loading, I said to myself " this might be the real thing". It told me to enter a name and password, so I did.

I didn't know what to do after that, so I told one of my friends Jason to have a duel with me.


first match

My first match was a horrible match, since I forgot all the moves(haven't played any SF-like game except Mortal Kombat 2 for a year). Anyways, we didn't know the moves, we just kept punching and kicking, and that's it. He won the fight, and I really needed some training. So my friend told me some of Ryu's moves, and I was off....

umm.. first day was the day before chun li came out.
my first match was vs ryux95 aka darkmagicX he killed me

*goes off in search of the link..* :biggrin:

My first day and match here?

Hmm..

I had just got Cable Modem on Sept. 29th, 2001, and I spent all day testing my speed. Next day, I started looking up some games.. shockwave games, since I've always been a fan of www.shockwave.com. Then I went to www.google.com and typed in: "Shockwave Street Fighter Games", and guess what? This came up... so I clicked on it.

I saw it said "Start, Faq, and Forums", I clicked "Start", then came the choices "Mirror1 and Mirror2", I clicked Mirror1, an it didn't work, so I clicked Mirror2. The shockwave started loading... and I got SO HAPPY, I started getting giggles inside of me. The game loaded, after me watching the video, and asked me to Type in "UserName and Password", since I didn't have one, I made one, called "Warri0r". I went in and was Challanged by someone... Sad to say that I didn't check the controls, so I got my(Ryu's) ass beat badly, cuz I didn't even kow how to Punch. So then the person IMd me(in the game), and we started talking. And he told me how to do moves and stuff!

So, that was my first match, but my day wasn't over yet.

Then I went back to the Server(1st), and got challanged by my good but unseen friend "PaMaLiO", he was 1st or close to being 1st place at that time. We started fighting, and since I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A REAL BIG FAN OF "Street Fighter", I already knew how to do ALL of the moves. I believe I should've been winning my match, but I lost, then PaMaLiO IMd me saying "Aww common, I thought you would do better than that!", I told him that he wasn't being hurt, so he told me about lag(which I had figured). Then we just fought like 10 more battles, and I honestly got better, I even beat him one round (Yes, I thought he was the hardest, even in TarkanX's primetime). And by the end of the night, my rank was 52!

Then I learned how to do the moves without looking, and became good!
Possibly one of the best!

my 1st day i can't remember when but it was before air moves were added in...my friend kept bugging the hell out of me sening me the link for the game which i always closed but i fianlly did after he didn't stop for a week. he was ranked 10th and it was the time that leftyfb rules top scores. Well my friend Baller was my 1st match and i won and i was like cool so i just keep playing and i was ranked 291 at the end of the day.I joined the forum like 2 or so weeks later. I eventually got even better with a record of about 40-0 and i fought the great leftyfb. i was excited as hell to fight him because he was #1 at the time. he won the 1st round and 1 won the second but he killed me the 3rd round. after suffering my 1st loss i kept practicing and i fought him like a week later and i won...so i guess it was bordom that brought me here but hell i wasn't bored for a very long time after i did :D and i'm still somewhat here(waiting for the old school version to come back so i can relive my glory days)

FOUND IT DM!

bah... can't remember much

anyways, i was going to school one day. and this guy named charles(you may remember him from this other topic) kept on talking about how good this game was and how he had found it on aracade pod. this guy was pretty gay and we'd always beat him up, but he kept talking about this game, so one day i decided to check it out. it was good timing, cause i had just gotten i don't really remember my first game, but i remember switching between the characters. at first i used wolverine, cause i had just went to the arcades and got beaten by him. i was instantly hooked on to this guy, he was really agile(much better than now) and he had a fighting style similar to gohan from dbz hyper dimension. so i started using him and later i learned of the good old wolvie's corner trap. then i started to demolish almost everyone, except vets. one day i faced kks, and i thought he was just some weakling, so i used ryu(i wasn't good with ryu back then) against him, he crushed me. then i asked for a rematch using wolvie, but he ignored me. so i came to this forum and challenged him again(and he still beat me, lol).
