[color=green]Allright, well here's MY story...

I don't remember the exact date I began playing, but it was quite a long time ago. Looking for something to do on the internet, i stumbled across arcadepod.com. While looking through a bunch of sites, I found "X-Men versus Street Fighter Online." Thinking it was going to be a PvC site, I clicked on it. That's when I discovered that it was a PvP.

I registered under the screenname "Nantuko_Joe."

Entering the site, however, I was fairly disappointed. The only character you could use was Ryu. I had never really played a SF site before, and didn't know the controls in the site. I tried to fight a few guys but got my ass kicked. So i quit.

A few weeks later, I stumbled back onto the site and signed in, and we could use Wolverine as well.

In my zeal to begin playing, my first match was against someone named "token." He was Ryu, I was Wolverine.

He kicked my ass. Perfect both times.

Later that day, I challenged someone by the screenname of "TarkanX." It was a Ryu vs Ryu fight. After whomping my ass, he asked if I was new. I said yes. So he became my "sensei" of sorts, and taught me how to play the site, how to use Ryu's moves, specials, and a few basic strategies.

Exiting, I played my first REAL match, challenging a screenname "steventhebol." It was a fairly close match, but he still kicked my ass.

Not too long after registering, I began to pick up more tips and strategies from other veterans of the site. I soon met up with a forumer under the name "Dan Hibiki." We quickly became forum "friends," (since I don't consider someone a real friend if i havn't met them in real life). A little later, one named Selvin was advertising for his XMvsSF clan, known as "The Smashers." I asked if I could join, and was accepted into the clan. The clan, at that point, consisted of myself, Selvin, Dan Hibiki, weezer, and j-dog014. It was mere weeks afterward that we became the "Drunken Smashers."

Not too long thereafter, after the arisal of two high-end n
