At this point(a little while after 4 player). I wasn't good anymore, I mean, I sucked, I couldn't do anything, 4 players lag was too horrendous, not even the laggiest player lag this bad, Imagine 4 FPS against Manontherun + Wrestlemania. I never went up against that, but my FPS was constantly around 7, I closed programs, closed task bars, but it still wasn't enough, my FPS was always low that I couldn't do anything. I had nothing left to do except, retire, but when I tried to retire, it was like the site said... "come". I can't explain it, btu I'm sure some of you players had heard this before, I couldn't quit, and whenever I wanted to, it would just "force" me to the site.
But then there was a big tournament, the SOF held by Lordcyris and Asshole which held 140 people, 35 players more than in TOC1, but it was a failure like any tournament besides TOC series. Only about 20 people I believe showed up on the day of the tournament, the mistake that the SOF made was that you can't hold a tournament in one day, especially if it's filled with ####ies, tournaments that did that were either very small, or failed, TOC1 wasn't held in one day, TOC2 was, but most of the roster were with well praised fighters, but there were some absences, TOC3 wasn't held in one day, and I think that's the 2nd best tournament ever, it was skill vs skill, well praised, and known fighters going at ti with eachother, who wouldn't want to watch/hear about those fights?
But SOF was a failure indeed, so I had a new plan. I called it the WT, initials for Weekly Tournaments, registration begins the day the previous WT ends, and the WT begins on friday midnight(which would be Saturday). My first 3 WT's only gathered about 12 players combined, 2kWarrior, Nferno, KKS, and Wrestlemania were the main/only fighters of the tournament, in late May, I said I would be disbanding the WT's.
I found myself posting in the forum more than I played, I had a couple of big threads including the DBZ vs SF thread in which me and Nantuko, along with others seriously went at it, with continous intereference by ####ies, and there was the learning thread where I posted forms of english, although only a few listened, and those who did just posted to up their post count(for the most part).
The only fighting I did was with Sentinel, since I was plain bad with most of the characters. the glitch helped me a lot in fight, but when it was implented, I just quit the serious fighting, and just played to be a punching bag. I tried to lecture the ####ies in the chat, yet no one answered, they just talked among themselves
"User Name are you a girl"
"press this number if you are a girl"
"user name what are you wearing"
"lol, lmao, lmfao, yru mad"
"brb 2 g 2 da sto ta fish dat shiiieeeettt"
I don't know why I joined the WT's, I only had like 10 wins joining about 20 WT's, I was completely out of it. I had comments like "get a new computer", well I have been using this computer since the site started, and have been through the seriousness of lag, I even used other computers, and they were just as bad, even though they were 3 times more powerful.
I wrote faqs for characters, and mainly gave advice to the people who gave a damn of what I said or did. I went crazy that I made a topic flaming ####ies and got banned by Lefty, I apaologized a while later(about a week later), and got unbanned. Things were going really slow in project x, whenever I tried to quit, I'd come back and get my ass handed to by these fearless youngsters. The site was made up of people between 7-15, which in my opinion is bad, back then we had people 17+, so they would understand and listen to what you said, whether or not you were good, now(or at least before the site shut down), people would only fight you if you were a ####ie, if you had a retarded user name, or if you were in the top 20. I never got in the top 3 after the end of the 3rd top scores in which Pro got 1st rank.
I made a clan called Shadowloo, but that ended qickly, as I grew out of the site, I made a farewell post and came back one month later, I would've came back anytime, and I was tempted to, as every 4 days I would spy on the forum. I went to some "big" tournaments for their time like the Vet tourney(which I overslept), the tourney by Haohmaru in which I got a quick first round exit. The only thing I could do now is... host a tourney of my own.
I planned this tourney with Tidus a year back, but he was too busy to do anything, so I had to do this alone, btu with another crucuial helper and friend, Scorponok. With Scorponok willing to help me anytime, I had secured the part of having to seriously rely on the person. The tournament which was called the world warrior seemed like the next TOC1, and that's what I wanted it to be, even better. I got 100 people in the tournament, the 3rd highest in XvSF online history of tournaments, but the first round was disappointing. About 70% of players only fought, and I figured if no one, not even the fighters who play a lot want to play in this tournament, then there's no point in going on, so I cancelled it, people minded, but they didn't IM me about it, so that I guess meant that no one seriously cared.
About 4 days later, I got an IM from Viper about the site closing down, it was a letter from Marvel, and has the exact words on what the front page link has. That would've made the bell ding that my tournament should be canned, since I planned to end the tournament later than July 11(the day the site closed down). After July 10, I dind't post for a long time until today, today/and yesterday I want(ed) to share to you veterans, and ####ies about my bio on XvSF, and the bio and fad on the site, from trends, to emotions, from the players in-depth, to the site in-depth, I hope you all take the time to read this, and not complain about it, this is very educational for everyone, whether you're the smartest person in the world, or not.
I know I forgot somethings like how I destroyed clans in September, I'm having a flu right now, so I can't concentrate to my full capacity, but I'm constantly drinking water, even to this point. I also forgot some members who helped me play the site and enjoy it, which is everyone I've played, and has either received somehting benefical from me, or I received something beneficial form them. I know the site is down, and will most likely be like this, but that doesn't mean you have to go into a state of panic, we can all join hands mentally, and work through this, remember the suposed war with the USA and russia in the early 60's? people thought this would be the end, but it didn't happen, thanks to critical thinking, and mind tactics by the people who had no fear, we made it out alive for future generations.
Thank you for reading my post, and may your life be blessed with goodness, and health. I'll still be here, since there was never been a time that I "seriously" left, I've always been here, watching and posting, and playing, and teaching. Thank you especially to the developers of the site for giving me a chance to show my stuff and to shine, and for raising my confidence level, I'll never forget about you, you put so much work, even with doubts, and the constant bitching of members, but you just kept at it, outproved what people though would be impossible, thanks.
