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!!!



Edited By TarkanX on July 26 2003 at 04:05

Okay, where was I.... oh yeah, early October.

Well, before that, I beat someonewith the user name of Stockton to be the first player to have 1,000 wins. It was posted here on the forums by Warmor, so if you want to search it, go right ahead.. I'm too lazy to do it.

Well, the scores reset, and I got first place by a good margin, Nferno666, and baller being 2nd and 3rd respectively. The next version in it's premature stages had it hard on me, and almost cost me being a member of the site. When I played the next version(new version had Wolverine, dashing, and new helpers), I met up against Akuma, just by the name, I knew there would be trouble. I was calm though, but shivering inside. We both fought, and I lost, this wasn't a close match, but this also wasn't a blow out. The dashing thing had affected me so much, and the lag was even higher than before. I went on a rampage swearing, and continously swearing.

I almost got banned at the forum, but then I cooled off, I decided to learn from the new version. I was winning, but mostly losing, until someone(forgot who, I think it was CptnAmerica) told me to reduce my screen size, and so I did. "punch, kick, hadouken, uppercut, spin kick, super moves, basic commands". I had it again, I only had to reduce the site screen resolution, and I got passed the dashing effect, infact, dashing was a main factor for me to win, think of this as 2 people don't want to work with eachother, but if they look deep, they can achieve the greatest things.

I got my revenge on Akuma, and he solemly liked me(the first time we fought, and I bulled on him, he detested me for that, and if you're reading this, and I doubt you ever will, I'm sorry, but we've gotten past that, we are mature people). Zing79 still remained the best for the moment, and Tantum was a silent person, yet he was rank 1. Both him and Zing were the best, so I had to train harder, and harder. The day before TOC1, me and Zing fought a couple of times, and guess who won... yep, he did, some were close, others were blow outs, those blow outs were so I can reserve my super bar. So TOC1 came, and I trained like it was my life, day and night, I fought so many people, whether good or bad, and I kept fighting Zing, but I kept losing.

I got a bye round in TOC1 since I slipped past Tantum to get a hold of rank 1. But the people who used Wolverine got placed further, so every Wolverine user got a bye round. My 2nd round opponent was Silvergo, this was a walk in the park, as I clipped him 3-0. My next opponent, and dear friend at the time, Shadowhetchog would fight it out. He came out hot, since he beat me for the first time ever in many bouts we had the day before our match. Things were unexpected for him as I swept him 3-0. the 4th round, and a person that I feared almost as much as Zing79, was JSL. We were always neck and neck, I win, he wins, and so on. It was always one person would have a bit of life and would come out the victor, although I led the series overall.

It was unexpected as I beat him 3-0, I was surprised, he said his thanks, and signed off.... I felt sorry for him, but I had to continue on for my journey to success for the first time, rank meant nothing to me. Although I beat JSL, I didn't think he was trying his best, we fought at 8:00 pm CST my time which would be about 3:00am his time(he lived in London). He was probably tired, so didn't do his best, or there might have been other things... only he knows the most about our series fight in TOC1.

My next opponent was the person who I showed this site to, Token. Token was much different than before, it was a while since I last fought him, so I didn't know what to expect, and what I expected was far from his talent. On the first match, he slaughtered me, and when I mean that, I mean there was nothing I could do, I was in the corner of the ring getting pummeled by his blows which were as powerful as Mike Tyson's fists in his prime. In the 2nd match, we were toe to toe, Goku vs Vegeta: round two. We kept dodging supers that were thrown at us, we were probably the fastest in the site ever, these new players wouldn't stand a chance against our speed. I won the 2nd match, and he won the 3rd, and then, my life flashed before my eyes. I was transed, in the world of 2nd rate, my eyes, my head, they couldn't relate(I wasn't trying to rhyme by the way).

I cooked up some ramen noodles and ate them out of a pot. I was ready to go, no holding back, the Tarkan"X" was ready to be unleashed.... I won by a little bit in our 4th match, and them I did something that I always think about, and would never regret. *big sigh* I cheated, yes I did cheat, how did I do it? In our 5th, and final match, Token humiliated me in round 1, and in round 2, I was on the verge of losing, so I disconnected the site, and waited for about an hour to play the site again. After an hour was up, I checked the forum, and I saw that Token posted our match-up saying that we tied 2-2, then the site got disconnected. If the site snesed that I left the site instead of the synchronization losing connection, I would've lost the series, since i would have to admit that I disconnected from the site on purpose, and even if I dind't lie, he would obviously find out.

So I played the 5th match seriously, and I won(it wasn't close, but it wasn't a blow out). Although I felt relieved, I also felt like a cheater, especially since is the biggest tournament at the time(and the biggest tournament ever). We both said our congrats, and Token went off for a while. My next opponent was supposed to be Tantum, but I was supposed to e-mail him about the the fight, since I hardly ever check my e-mail, I didn't e-mail him, so I was DQed. I pleaded to Zing that I was at work, in which I actually wasn't(2 cheats in one tournament). He decided that Tantum would then advance to the finals, but me and Zing would face off for who would face Tantum in the finals. Since I hosted first, I had a bit of an advantage. Every match was close, and it went to 5 sites, but the person who hosted the match always won the match, and so obviously, I won the site in a close yet memorable duel. I advanced to the finals, it felt like Necro2k1's tournament all over again, but I still had a chance, since this was a best of 5, instead of 1.

I went up against Tantum, who was probably the most fiercest guy in the site(next to Token, and Zing). People at the forum were cheering on Tantum to win, since they thought what i did of getting DQed, and being unDQed was "unconsitutional". I shrugged off the boos, and fought. I won, he won, then I won the next 2. I was held as the victor of Tournament of Champions, I finally did it, I achieved maximum glory for the first time ever, no more a second rate, but a first rate! But.... I also felt another part of me was a cheater, not a second rate, but an infinite rate. I was not a true warrior, but a person who uses the cheap way out, and doesn't help his fellow side, and let them die brutally. Tantum bragged that I lagged, but I was finally the winner. I don't think I would've won though, if me and Token fought it out in match 5, he would've obviously won, he would douce Tantum 3-1, and beat Zing 3-2. He was underhyped, and if he won, he would have so much more recognition, I didn't deserve this recognition.....


Coming up, TMyApp hates me? Maybe... what, a new character comes?!?!?! Chunli!!!! And who's this new fighter people speak of, training time! Coming up next...

Okay, I was at the part where I won TOC1, so now where should I start....

Okay, got it....


After I won TOC1, I was getting some recognition and people wanted to fight me all over my shoulders. I was rank 1 a little while after I won TOC1, MegaPower21 passed us, MegaPower21 would be the lead general in what is called "the cancer". Me and Nferno tried to teach him the truth about "the fight", and rank isn't everything. I wasn't sure about Nferno saying this though... but whatever goes. MegaPower21 never really talked, I only heard him/her speak twice, and that was only like a glimpse. During this time, I was e-mailing TMyApp about my prize, he didn't seem to astound of me winning, it was either he wanted me to lose, or he wanted someone else to win, one of those two. Or maybe this was stressing him from the release of Chunli, so that's 3.

Solemly, Nferno would challenge me whenever I gained rank 1, I would win some, he would win some, sometimes I didn't try my best, and when I didn't, he would comment that i didn't try my best, I shrugged off his comments and continued to play. And So on December 8, or december, don't remember the specific date, but it was before Chunli came, so that would be between December 5, and December 26. Anyways, I finally got my Red Ryu, and best of the prize, I got a helper all to myself, a Red Sentinel. I turned from great to almost divine. I was unrivaled, even by the best players. Any ####ie who wanted to fight me would get killed flat, and decent fighter who wanted to fight me would get killed flat, and any great fighter who wanted to fight me would nearly get killed flat. I became an unstoppable force to be reconed with, Red Sentinel go ZOOM!!!! KO! If the player has me cornered, I'll just use my Red Sentinel, if you get passed Red Sentinel, you can't get passed Red Ryu, if you get passed Red Ryu, you can't get passed Red Sentinel, and if you happen to get passed both, you probably have lost already, and so it wasn't worth trying.

Eventually, Chunli came, and I tested her out with Nosoul4Evr. She seemed much different from her XvSF/MvC sites. As this site generally proves, anti-airs suck, but hers had to be the worst. Good supers for upclose contact or middle range, can easily dodge attacks flawlessly, and can trap opponents pretty good, the problem was, it takes her a long time for her to do real damage, the samething that plagued Wolverine, so I stuck with Ryu.

TOC2 came around, but it wasn't as good as the first. Although many Veterans came to participate, some expected fighters didn't show up, one hyped player who dind't show up was Nferno666. He was the favorite to win the tournament, since the only real power in XvSF now was me and him respectively. Manontherun who lagged like a mofo won TOC2, but to steal my prize, he would have to go up against my Red Ryu, and my Red Sentinel. When the fight began, it seemed like I had this sealed. I was toying with him, I fooled around, and wasn't even trying my best. This was the winner of TOC2? I guess that pretty much proves that I was the best at the time. It was a best of 3, and I won 2-0 without losing a round to him, and in those rounds, my life wasn't even below half life(not the PC site).

He was pissed when I beat him, it was like a humiliated him, and which I did, he had a huge ego, he thought he was going to win, he kept saying I had no chance, but he never saw me in action, he only heard news of me, that reminded me of me vs Token in TOC1, I thought Token would be the same as he was before, me dominating him for the most part, but he changed so much within a months time. I was Token, and manontherun was me. He was furious, and went on a rampage, I'm not sure if this was true, but he was so mad that he kept beating anyone he saw just to get back at me, but then again, it was a rumor. He wanted me bad, like Dogs to bones on the cartoon shows, or humans to time, he trained so much, but I never heard from him after that incident.

Before TOC2, someone who is known today by some vets as Fear tetsuo wanted to fight me. he went on the name as Xmvst. I easily pounded him, and he wanted more. I don't know how many times I fought him, but each time he always got closer and closer, he wanted more, but I declined, since I was tired and wanted to sleep, I had been playing the site that day for hours on end. Other days later, he wanted me like white on rice. Like always, I would keep pounding him, and like always, he would always keep coming back and getting closer and closer to beating me in at least one round. As I got stronger from fighting, he tripled his strength from the ratio of me getting stronger to him(1-3). The rank ended, and I once again got first place, and Nferno came up 2nd, and MegaPower21 got 3rd, this time Nferno was so close from eclipsing rank 1.

During January, my ISP went down for 5 days, and at this time, Fear Tetsuo must have passed my skill level, or maybe I got rusty, but when I got my ISP back, Fear Tetsuo treated me like a rag, he beat me up and down, left and right, and then I thought about Token, and how he beat me so badly. I tried my best against fear tetsuo, but my Red Ryu and red Sentinel just came up short most of the time against this new person. He went through a transformation, and this transformation made him the current best player in the site. And I'm at the place like I was before TOC1 started. Suddenly, Zing made news that TOC3 is coming up, so I had to get prepared to win back my title, but something unexpected will haunt me....


Coming up, TOC3 has come! Jump lock destroys one of my main strategies, and... WHAT!!!! My Red Ryu, and red Sentinel are gone?!?!?! NOOO!!!!! Tune in in a few.

I read everything...pretty interesting stuff...although it's pretty familiar to me due to the other times i've read your autobiographies.

I remember much of that stuff...and BOY that MegaPower21 sure was rank hungry...he wasn't even that good...at times his record was at a 1:2 ratio. He played a whole lotta sites though.

yes its a long story.... when ur done its gonna be like a whole book lol.... but so far i've read everything... and its some good and interesting stuff... im suprise u can remember so much about your history here... i cant remember my 1st match or nothin..... but good story.... keep going....

[quote:post_uid0="TarkanX"]I became an unstoppable force to be reconed with, Red Sentinel go ZOOM!!!! KO!

Tarkan, i hated your damn Red Sentinel and damn Red Ryu.

You were like........ unstopable with them.

wow better then the book rock wrote :D

The only time i beat tarkan...was because...he gave me a free win!..i was so proud that day :buttrock:

ok, that was ok.... so when is the next post about toc3 coming up? lol
anyways, Tarkan, you didn't need to be honest to say you cheat just to get us reading your god damn post lol

I don't get it, back in that day, what made a Red Ryu special? Was a Red Ryu special just because he's Red? Or was it for another reason? ??? And what would make a Blue, Green, and Black Ryu special, if a Red One is so special ???[B]
