Okay, a little bit after TOC3, Fear tetsuo did something that he hated the most about Project X, he lost his title because He told Stealth_Dragon the password to the Drunken Smashers. Stealth_Dragon told Fear that he was a part of Drunken Smashers and had forgot the password, Fear then told Stealth_Dragon the password, Zing somehow over heard and stripped Fear tetsuo of his title and gave it to me. Although I got the title, I didn't feel anything, you know, something you get doesn't mean anything if you didn't strive for it, like if you won one million dollars from the lottery, yet you dind't play, it doesn't mean anything that you got the time, even though your freakin rich, although that would never ever happen.
During the aftermath of TOC3, I didn't play the site much anymore, but I joined the Drunken Smashers since I kept getting bugged, don't remember who though. Anyways, a known player named asshole and I were talking about rank, and he said he wanted to be rank, and he wanted to be rank 1, this was a time where I decided to help people some, but not as heavily as I used to do where I trained people so much. So this is how it went, he went on the "player" user name and I beat the crap out of him and he wouldn't fight back, and after enough wins, he would log on to his regular name and then beat the crap out of me and scre higher than me, on and on this kept happening until the scores reset.
Nferno was racking up points by fighting a lot of people, they would challenge him, not he to them, he just kept fighting and fighting. I think we only fought a few times, he being the victor, and he said I wasn't trying, and he was right, sometime after I fought Fear tetsuo, I said to myself, what's the point, I crank up 85% against Nferno, but I don't crank it up all the way, for one, I felt that he should get rank 1, and another is that he didn't give me the same challenge Fear Tetsuo/Token/Zing did. I'm not saying his weaker, but it's like you have a friend, this friend has never achieved this status before, and has worked his life for it, well both of you are at this place to achieve the status, and you've done it before, but he's worked so hard. You want him to win, so even though you give it your best, you don't give it your "ultimate best". Okay if you're confused, this is what I mean.
Two people are in a fight, one relies on punches, the other relies on kicks, the kick person is a great fight, but not so great with his fists, vice versa with the other fighter. The kicking fighter uses his kicks, and some punches in the fight, and the punching fighter just gives it his all, somewhat realising that the kick fighter is using the weaker pucnhes in which the punch fighter can easily counter, if you don't get this then here's an easy one, two people are racing, one is slightly better than the other, the better at the near end slows down to let the other person wins, but he doesn't slow down completely, just slightly slows his pace.
Anyways where was I, oh yeah... Fear tetsuo still had his dominance, whenever I fight him, he beats me, everytime, and this one what he said shocked me. He said he wasn't trying when I almost beat him. Was this like manontherun vs me in TOC2? Me being manontherun and him being TarkanX? I realized that you can't always have your status, you have to give it up sometime, even though you think, and it's clearly seen that there's no way that someone can outrun you, it's happened everywhere, sports especially. I then found myself talking in the chat more than I played.
I found myself and asshole on the top, but then suddenly PROfe$$or(Im going to just use Pro since I don't feel like typing signs) came out on top. It was Asshole, Me, Nferno, and Pro respectively. On the last days, Pro dominated the top scores and finished first by far, even further than me in the first top scores. I wasn't really disappointed, since I wasn't achieving for it, yet pro was mocking the top 5 players. Asshole felt like he could've done better, but he didn't really give a damn, Nferno felt pissed but mostly depressed.
I think on that day, 4 player came, but it came a while later, I was in the chat servers waiting, and I was actually happy for this(but I can't tell the future, so I wouldn't know the dark sides of it). There were some previews about a few months before 4 player came at senshukentaikai, there were also characters like Sagat as a helper, but he never showed up. When 4 player came, I refrshed the site, and went into the chat, me, Nferno, Fear tetsuo, and some other person(TMyApp or Lordcyris), all of us played the 4 player, and what I thought of it was far from expected. There were so many glitches, huge bugs that really needed to be fixed, but hey, it was just released. One bug that was in there was that if you were getting hit by a beam super, you can tag out your character even though you're getting hit, I believed this also worked for other supers as well.
Now I really knew there was no hope in getting to the best player in the site, with this lag, ti was impossible to do anything, even if you had a super computer, most of my site I had lost. This wasn't XvSF, this was Wack-a-Mole.
Coming up, WT idea inspired, but comes to a premature end, I suck in clans, and Sentinel gives me hope!
