Aight people. You wanted to know who mastaq aka Dark Masta is. Im feeling good right now. So Im gonna try and keep this in the best order that I can. I can remember a lot about other people. But I cant remember much about my time here. Except all the friends Ive had. So here we go. I started playing this site back in mid-March 2002. Thanks to my brother Dark_Warrior07. If it wasnt for him I wouldnt be the figure in this community that I am now. When I first started playing. I looked at the top 10. I first sought out all the top rankers. At first I cared for rank. Then some time after it didnt matter. The highest rank Ive attained to this day would be 3. I first fought a bunch of n3wb!es. Then I got my handed to me by one TarkanX. I had respect for him from the start, no doubt about it. My next loss to a vet would be from Nferno666. My computer I had back then was a lag monster. He beat me the first round. The second round I won because of extreme lag. The 3rd round I found out how to use the lag to my advantage to beat him. But I didnt take that route. I accepted that he was better than me. And I let him beat me. Because with that lag at the time he far surpassed me. Around some time in April me and Zeroena became friends. Soon to be friends with Roll. Along with other people like Thug_Angel. But a good friend I havent seen in a while would be Ryan Conn. On April 3rd 2002 was my debut on the official forum. I was new to forums in general. Where as today I am pretty knowledgable with them. I started to act like a n3wb!e. But not too bad. AsshoIe started to befriend and show me around. Then a week later was when, me and KidKrazyShlt would butt heads for the first time. I made a challenge to bLaCkRaNgEr. I tryed to take them over. When I first heard of clans. I tried to make my own at the official forum. Called the Hard Killing Machines. But it didnt do so well. So then I took on the Power Rangers myself. THis all was before I knew of SenshukenTaiKai mind you. So I beat bLaCkRaNgEr. But he wouldnt step down as leader. So I was ridculed by KKS and a few others. I naturally defended myself and all other n3wb!es at this point. Me and Zeroena began a short lived crusade to help out our fellow brethren. All was new to me at this point in time. I tried to make a name for myself in the servers over the coming weeks. At the middle of May 2002. I was decently known. I was starting to post at SenshukenTaiKai pretty actively. I was already the co-leader of the famed Dark Knights. We were a force to be reckoned with. Me, tupac2westsider(in his prime), !(DARKVIRUS)! aka Da Prototype aka (((Virus))), Shinjuko aka 2000warrior, and a few others I cant remember at the current time. By this time around people were so psyched out about the coming SoF(Survival of the Fittest) Tourney hosted by Lordcyris and AsshoIe. This out of any tourney to date had the most signups. This tourney had the potential to be the best tourney ever. But do to poor management of it. It failed. This is where the Weekly Tournies started. TarkanX officially started them. But MVC2Sucks came up with the idea months earlier. Not many tournies went down at the time. So me and 2000warrior started talking about starting a few. He made his CCF(Chun Li Cat Fight) tourney. Which I really appreciated. Because I mainly use Chun Li. But sadly due to family reasons I had to drop out early. My first round opponent was SBYRD5. He gave me a good match. But in the end I took the win, and advanced. SBYRD thanks for the great match bro. By July I had brought my only tournement to date out. The Brawl for All. The fastest completed tourney to date. It only took 3 hours to hold the tourney. In the end it was Lancer_PX and Strider42. Good sites with them both. BUt in the end Strider42 took the win. Around the end of July I became a mod at SenshukenTaiKai. When Dan Hibiki and itssounfair held auditions for mods. They told me personally I was their top pick. This made me very happy. This is where I started my Academy for n3wb!es. It wasnt a great success but I did what I needed to do. I helped out a few people. Around early August I got made an Admin at Senshuk. But that was short lived. Because on August 26th 2002 SenshukenTaiKai forum was officialy closed by Zing79. Then on September 9th 2002. The infamous site known as Battle Grounds was born. This was my greatest moment in the history of my prescence in this community. I had saved the clans. More so I should say. Me and KKS saved the clans. J-Luna as well helped us. But there after I took full control of maintaining BG. This was a golden age for clans. Though BG went threw some down time. Many forum changes. I have finally reached a state of accomplishment with BG that Im happy with. A month later the site went down for the first time. October 8th 2002 was a milestone for XvsSF. Then people readily offered to help pay for maintaining the site. So that the many thousands of other users could still enjoy the site for free. Me, Darkvirus, viper2040, and many others where the first on the scene. With all the people that helped out we were able to get the site back on its feet. There on in things where looking good for me. This time around in November I bought paid hosting and a domain for BG. Things couldnt be better. BG was doing better than expected. I had to continually upgrade hosting plans for BG. But with no doubt in my mind would I stop there. I didnt care about the amount of time I spent. just so long as I brought people happiness. But then on New Years Day night I was in a horrible car accident. In short.. My aunt told her kids to go to my house. Which was 4 minutes walking distance from the scene of the accident. Then she fled the scene. And left me for dead. I almost died. But as soon as I was in the Intensive Care Unit. I begged the nurses for a laptop. I got one.But after I told my mom to take time out of my checking account and buy me one of my own. I was so badly hurt. I had one arm bandaged up. While I typed with the other. Im sorry for my arrogance. But I consider myself a die hard fan of this community. I will do anything within my power to keep it going. As TarkanX posted earlier in this thread. I am dedicated to this site until the end.. And he couldnt be anymore right. Ive been involved with this community for well over a year and a half. I cant help but support it. No matter what Ill always be in this community. Ill always have TMyApp,leftyfb,NoSoul4Evr, and KidKrazypoop's backs. They have helped me more times than I can count. From there on in. My legacy in this community is history. All you people know who I am and know how I act. Now I must give a shout out to all my friends that I know in this community. Sorry if I miss you, But if I miss you. Your not active anymore. Shout outs to Sportschick 155. Girl you've been a good friend too me for a while. Unknown2002, you had my respect and I had yours. Quass though we had a beef for a while. Youve helped me out when I needed it. Zing79.. We've had bad blood for a while. Its time we squashed the beef. DarkMagicX. Thanks for making me the co-leader of one of the best clans ever.. Shinjuko you are a good and intelligent friend. Thanks .. blaze985.. you continually support me. I got your back till the end bro. Thanks for your friendship. I needed it. And still do. J-Luna.. You were a very good friend too me.Then you turned into a punk. IbanezRG you helped me out more than you can imagine. You always shed the wisdom I needed. Thanks bro. KKS you have had my back for a while. And I have yours till the end as well. Stay cool man. TarkanX youve been an inspiration to say the least. Thanks man. Tupac2westsider and DarkVirus you 2 guys have been like bros to me. But you guys I have let down on 2 occasions and Im dearly sorry for that. You know Im making it up now. Kingryu youve always been a funny guy. Virtual Fighter.. Your a good kid. Youve got a bright future in this community keep it up bro. SSJVegetaM youve always been smart but cocky. You lit the way for me somewhat. Back at planet majiin thanks for saying that Im respectful. Ive lost most of that respect. Now its time for me to regain my former self. Nantuko Joe. Your a smart and funny guy,you know a lot. Your just 5 days older than me. Yet you still out class me. Ill catch up. But your a good online bud. Venture.. Till this day your one of my CLOSEST bros. You called me on my cell and got my bro. When you heard about my accident. Around christmas time. Ill head up to Toronto to chill with ya bro. Raidus.. Your cool man. SBYRD5... Youve had a hard life like Ive had. But were cool. Roll thanks for your valued friendship. Talk to me threw pm sometime. We havent chatted in a while. Like I said if I cant remember you Im sorry. Ive been drinking all the while typing this. So Im feeling VERY GOOD right now...LMFAO Just remember to all the people Ive had a beef with.. Like Tupac Amaru Shakur said... "I aint mad atcha..." Peace out and good will towards all the people of this community. :biggrin:

[quote:post_uid0="TarkanX"]Hello... I haven't been around lately since I'm busy a lot, so I don't have much time for the computer much anymore, and the fact the most of my interests are duindling.

*cough* anyways... let me just tell my life story, how I felt about the site, and the site right now and where it will go.


By the way, for you ####ies, this site was up on August 8, 2001, a week before I played the site.

It was August 15, 2001. It was early evening. I was getting flamed at planet namek, so I thought I'd just pick up something else. I remember a site called arcadepod.com, I went there, then I was about to play this home run rally baseball site, but then I saw something else. X-men vs Street Fighter Online. I decided XvSF over baseball, but I didn't play immediately yet.

I asked one of my friends(who I knew on this forum for a year in which I got banned) who's user name is Jason1(I don't talk to him anymore, it's been 1 1/2 since I last did. Oh, and if you wanted to know which forum I got banned, it was the now defunct nintendose.com, reasons why, I don't want to explain, and no it's not porn). We both loaded up the site, got in the project x server(which was empty), and we fought.

There were about... 20 characters I believe at the beginning, but we could only pick Ryu vs Ryu. Since I completely forgot about SF, remembering the moves would be hard. Me and Jason fought, he was jumping and kicking, and I tried to do the same, but he won twice(Some rounds were close).

Jason said he didn't want to play the site anymore since he said it was boring(he's a die hard Nintendo freak as far my memory serves). I kept training away, my fists, my leg thrusts. I couldn't get off Ryu's hadouken, or his other specials. But then my friend(in who I know in real life and have known for years) told me is specials(he occasionally went to the arcade to play XvSF, and MvC). I did the procedure for the hadouken, and guess what..... HADOUKEN!!!! A flaming blue wave came thrusting out of Ryu's hand(or his body, since it looked like it came from his body). I've played SF before, first played it in 1992 when it came to the SNES, I've done his hadouken, but I just forgot about SF so much, I needed major help.

Tatsumaki senpuu kyaku(or whatever he said when was retardedly throwing his leg in a spiral in the air). I dind't quite do shoryuken yet till later, about a few days later. Then ti was time for the super moves. I told my friend how to do the long ranged blue beam, he said press all 3 punch buttons, I did that, and guess what... Shinkuu..... HADOUKEN!!!!!!!! BJGGGJGJGJGJTTTT!!!!! KO!!!! WOW!!!! I DID IT!!!! I actually performed the Shinkuu Hadouken technique. I was happy, I also performed the spin kick super.

After that, I was performing basic techniques, jump, super jumping, punch, kick. There was no dash at this time by the way. I thought to myself, I'll keep fighting, then I'll fight with the big guns(top 5 at the time was Leftyfb, Lordcyris, B0ogie, baller, and someone else.... I forgot who it is). I thought they were the best players in the site(they were at the time, but the top 5 then would get slaughtered by the top 5 now). During this time, people played for fun, or for competition, there was no rank hungry person, and if they were, it was a small community, which would eventually grow into a cancer(nice metaphor eh...?). I fought my way up the ranks, I was watching Earth: Final Conflict at the same time playing the site, I felt like I was getting stronger and stronger fighting other people(similar to what Fear Tetsuo went through, but he had to go through rigorous training since during his way to the top, he had to go through people that were marginally better than me to the top 5 before hand, stilll don't get what I'm saying, well... here's an example:


December 2001:

TarkanX >>>>>>>>>>> Fear Tetsuo

Mid August 2001:

Top 5 > TarkanX



My wish came true as i finally got to fight one of the best players in the site, and most recognized at the time, CptnAmerica. We fought twice, and it was intense, like you were in the middle of a tornado, and you had to survive at all costs, it was you, vs the Tornado. If the tornado won, it would be over, if you won, the tornado would be angry, and attack another day, but you get the benefit of the doubt. Me and Cptn was like this. I won both intense fights, and he went bonkers(somewhat). He said that he couldn't lose to someone like me... I said some wise words, and he smirked, he said he will have his day.

When I checked my rank, I was rank 46 with 46 wins and 26 losses. I felt if I kept going further and further, it would be my first stepped in being recognized in a good way, and being a first rate person, instead of always being plagued as second rate. About a week after I registered in the site, I registered on the forums. I was the 123rd registered member(I would've been the 81st, but I was too lazy to register when I first saw the forum. The community was like a friendly town that was starting up, and giving advice. Everyone was an elder, but they had the strength of an ox at heart. I was happy to be here, unlike planet namek which would flame you straight up your ass in and out whether or not you were new.

A while later, I told Token, a native of planet namek, a recognized vet for people who registered from August 2001-May 2002. He was a brash young kid who had wise words, but broke down everyone who would act stupid, or rip on him. This person is what you ####ies need to know, I wish he were still here.... We fought 5 times, and each time I won. I told him that he would never beat me at XvSF online ever, but I was wrong, dead wrong. This guy almost eliminated me in ToC1, he was freakin insane, he was hardcore. He doesn't take ####, and I loved that. Someone that would fight at their max whether or not you suck, or whether or not you are a vet, he treats everyone the same when he fights them, an enemy that should be killed, that's something that people fail to shot today(or at least XvSF online closed down).

Anyways, I joined the first tournament ever which was held by Necro2k1. There were 8 participants, but only 5 fought. This is what the tournament bout looked like:


TarkanX vs Zao
Ewalk vs Lordcyris
Leftyfb vs CptnAmerica
B0ogie vs ?


My first round opponent didn't show up, Lordcyris beat Ewalk, Lefty won by DQ(CptnAmerica didn't show up). I don't know who B0ogie fought, but he didn't show up. The 2nd round looked like this:


TarkanX vs B0ogie
Leftyfb vs Lordcyris


I lost to B0ogie the first match, so I was supposed ot be eliminated, but then B0ogie requested another match, I denied, since he should advance, but after a while, I said what the hell. I beat him in our 2nd match, then he said I should advance to the finals. We had a debate about who should advance, but he said something like... he liked fighting me, he didn't care for prizes. I liked that attitude, some vets in this site would fight for rank(even today), and I'm disappointed in them. So I advanced. Anyways, Lordcyris bested Leftyfb, so I had to fight Lordcyris. I guess me and him would be considered "the best" currently in the site. We fought it out on a Saturday morning, I was kind of tired a little, but I rushed to the computer to play the site. We both picked Ryu(obviously), and then the newly implented helpers... he got Guile, and I got..... Venom, the worst of the helpers at the time, besides Spiral(I'm not sur if Spiral was made, but oh well). We both fought, and he beat me in both rounds, and eventually won a blue Ryu. I lost the tournament, another failure like I've always been, no I dind't think about suicide, and hope to god that I never will, but I was always never first, or never impressed the crowd the most, it was always someone else. Takes me back to elementary school, I felt like taking a break from the site, but I couldn't, so I kept playing, and getting better, and as soon as I knew it, I was the best in the site(At most of September).

During September, I prematurely made a website about project x, if I launched it, it would've been the first site affiliate from project x. But due to laziness, and lack of HTML knowledge, I ditched the idea, so Warmor became the first person, with his bizarre showing of almost nude SF characters(which was soon taken out). I also made a dojo(much thanks to Lordcyris). I trained unworthy fighters, and made them look like prince's, and princess. I felt like I needed to give back to the community, and this was something that I could start at.

Ewalks tournament was in during September, and it seemed like a solid tourney(any tourney that's better than Necro's was good in my eye(before ToC1 came). 52 people participated, it was a preliminary match-up, then it would be a round robin after the preliminaries were over. I was in the west, and had some of the toughest members. There were 13 people in my division, and I went 7-1, my only loss was to Nferno666(One of the most intense fights I ever had in my career at XvSF, and a long string of intense fights me and Nferno666 would have). I was trying my hardest, I had a war face, and kept tamping on the keys very hard, but he seemed like I was some pety fool, and he was the silent warrior(Like Samurai Jack, Silent, yet very powerful, and could kill anyone if he wanted to, but decides not to try his best, that's what I think from my perspective. After the prelimiaries, the first round began, I forgot who I fought, but I beat him by default, since he said he didn't want to fight me. The tournament ended without word of Ewalk. He suddenly disappeared into nothingness, and we never heard from him until 2 months later, and after that, he was gone forever.

In Late September, the next character who would be Wolverine was coming near, and a guy who can kick your ass in 5 seconds, even if you were the best was here... Zing79. He was like a kind-hearted version of Token. He'll kill you, and give you a compliment before you hit the ground. It seemed like whenever we fought, he always got the best of me in a close battle, but it was like he was never at his max against me. It seemed like he was the best now, and then he would start the ever known.... Tournament of Champions.



Coming up in next post.... Wolverine is made, dashing drives me insane, ToC1 is decided! Tune in in a few hours!!![/quote]
man i love this site and i will do anything to keep it up. :buttrock:

Edited By pip99 on Sep. 19 2003 at 07:41

yeah it is a true fact that pip99 is one of the best fighters here.

RE,Pip,King:...but you boys need to get off of each others backs.

the hosts perspective in a match is alot different from the guests perspective of the match....
Latency creates all the lag, and "lagging" is primarily the internets fault, and not the players...and EVERYONE lags...



Edited By nosoul4evr on Sep. 20 2003 at 11:37

people who don't know what lag is really and those who can't see the difference between FPS problems and LAG itself should read one of my article on LAG, but beware its a bit advanced, you do need to know your computer terminology to understand it !

LAG isn't created by your computer, only by the network itself called internet !

if you see SKIPPING in your window, it is a mix between both FPS and LAG. if you got a big big big FPS problem, then you get a lot of skipping.

see, FPS you can do something about it, but LAG, ya can't do #### about it !
and FPS include only YOUR computer. it doesn't affect other computers, they manage their own FPS !

that's basically what my post was saying.
except that it goes more in details !
