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.....
I was tutored, somewhat... My friend(in real life) told me some of Ryu's moves, I was never tutored in the game, but I did get some tactical strategies from fellow members.

What am I bitching about? I didn't ask for anything.

Actually I bet many of those battles the users didn't even bother to super jump,because no one knew how to that good....
Are you saying the majority we fought are poorly skilled? And then you're leaning on to saying that we were rank hungry(just a guess). What about the actually good users. The best vs the best, the underdogs at it with eachother, the titans, what about them?

hmmm Roll's Friend, it doesnt take a genius to master a game with RYU as the only character
You're right, it doesn't take a genius, but you also have to know the game, not the engine, etc.. but you have to knwo strategies, and those strategies, you have to counter with other strategies, and it goes on.

am i the only one to remember that we were like 1000 users back then and that about 500 of them were HADOKEN HAPPY THROWERS ?
Everyone is a hadouken happy thrower, but those(we) people had other stratgies than that.
Quote:
and am i the only to remember that lag was 10x times stronger then it is now ?
I'm not sure about that... game specs, yeah, I guess, but IMO, the lag is stronger now than back then. Do you remember April 2002, when 4 player came out? In one day, this is how many of the greats appeared to be.

come on, tarkan !
back then, i had fought about 25 opponents including yourself, and on that, only you actually used hand to hand combat !
that's why i didn't play that much back then cause skills were non existent
Like an ancient chinese proverb says... You have to seek further to find what you desire.

i was playing back in september 2001, the first thing i knew, i was beaten up by people that only did hadokens all over the place while disappearing from one side to the other and before i had to turn around the already were appearing in the next side of the screen !
There was a technique called super jumping... you could do it a billion times... use it!
Quote:
as far as STRATEGIES are concerned, hadokens happy throwers had always existed and they kinda were a lot more back then cause we didn't have that much peoples to play the game... you think its a shame to have a ratio of about 1:25 fight that good ? think again, that ratio didn't change one bit from the time being. the only thing that changed is the number of people playing the game !
I don't knwo where you got 1:25 from, but you're way off! Have you seen Cyclops? Spider Man? Wolverine? and of course Ryu/Evil Ryu? Repetitive move, repetitive move, repetitive move, super, repeat, thats how ALMOST every game goes now adays. There was more hand to hand combat back then than now, and some helpers were actually useful before they got screwed (Spiral, Guile).
Quote:
so i say its just nrmal that you think you see a difference, but i don't see it ! back then or today, people like fear tetsuo kept on firing those hadokens all the times !
I assume you mean october Fear, he was a ####ie back then, he was learning, he has gotten much much better, and I tell you that he doesnt throw hadoukens all the time, or he wouldn't have won ToC3.
