lol it might be tru, but not all of us are ne w bs and some of us have skill, solid is good not cheap, so is digi, pip, italy, resident....i would say myself, but im not cocky....

yeah right lol .TarkanX lost to a #### hehe :laughlong:

solidsnake get off my case fag...ur just pissed cuz i beat ur gay ass wolvie and proved u SUCK with wolvie

TarkanX, those ideals were partially true,,but here is a ####ies point of view...

At those times those veterean members were just playing Street Fighter vs. XMEN for the first time.Us ####ies have played those games most of our childhood.We had pretraining before the online game...you told me that you had to somewhat be tutored in the art of playing this game yourself...

That time was a beginner ara we are in a revolution of the community TarkanX.....You of all people need to realize this.....

[quote:post_uid0="TarkanX"]People say the game is better now than it was in October 2001, well in my opinion, that is just some bull sh*t, because most fo the people who say that haven't even played the game that long ago. October 2001 was skill based, sure there was lag, but the move set was unpredictable, and strategies were made every second, but what about now? You do optic blasts all the time, and you win, you do maximum spider all the wime, and you win, hmm... lets keep away with hadoukens shall we? dubya tee eff, are you mad?!?!! This game is no better than it was in Oct 2001, skill-wise.

In Oct 2001, you had to train, and learn from the masters to be decent, you had to put up hours in XvSF to be with the pros, what about now? In one hour, some rookie kills a pro no prob. In Oct 2001, super moves were dodgable, and they didn't exploit brokenness, now? Mega Optic Blast, Evil Ryu Mega super duper shinkuu gou zankuu hado of air fireball good ness!!!

In Oct 2001, normal moves(c.MP, c.Hk, j.HK) dominated the game for the most part, now?? Good you know what I was going to say, here is a cookie!!

I don't see any improvement in skill, other than a loss in that factor, only newer characters, newer moves, improved game engine, and that's it. Instead of repetitive matches(When you know whats going to happen when you face a Cyke, spidey, or Sent user), how about some unpredictable matches, like it was 1 1/2 years ago? If you want to disprove, go ahead, but you probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Also, a note, I don't care if you say back then, people were rank hungry, because those rank hungry people HAD to fight the pros or they would be ridiculed(Since they were a minority at the time), and usually, rank hungry people are just as bad as they should be, but times has changed, the rank hungry is the majority, most of the pros have left, and if you are at rank 100+ and want a challenge, good luck finding them, unless against ####ies(Just happened to em right now).[/quote]
Everything is true that Tark said. I especially agree that everyone was rank hungry. That was what made the competition in this game. Everyone dreamed to make it to the top 50.

I want the old school version...

Well Asshole, everyone played the streetfighter on Super Nintendo,but not everyone played the faster playstation arcade streetfighters.When I say this I mean part of the majority never played this version...
That is what made that ara most talked about....can't you see....

At that period of time not everyone was skilled.....adjusting to the keyboard took time...also with the reduced lagg..

Actually I bet many of those battles the users didn't even bother to super jump,because no one knew how to that good....

I heard of this during that time there was an record option TMYAPP installed into the system.I don't know if it still works,but some of the original 20 used it.

If we could just get our hands on one member that recorded one of his/her old matches we could study them and see if my theory is correct?! <!--emo&:sneaky:

I honestly think it is the price to pay for the popularity of the game. Because a lot of people play it ou'll get the cheap bithces that do the same move after move. Now we have to find out what can be done about it!
