My first day and match here?
Hmm..
I had just got Cable Modem on Sept. 29th, 2001, and I spent all day testing my speed. Next day, I started looking up some games.. shockwave games, since I've always been a fan of
www.shockwave.com. Then I went to
www.google.com and typed in: "Shockwave Street Fighter Games", and guess what? This came up... so I clicked on it.
I saw it said "Start, Faq, and Forums", I clicked "Start", then came the choices "Mirror1 and Mirror2", I clicked Mirror1, an it didn't work, so I clicked Mirror2. The shockwave started loading... and I got SO HAPPY, I started getting giggles inside of me. The game loaded, after me watching the video, and asked me to Type in "UserName and Password", since I didn't have one, I made one, called "Warri0r". I went in and was Challanged by someone... Sad to say that I didn't check the controls, so I got my(Ryu's) ass beat badly, cuz I didn't even kow how to Punch. So then the person IMd me(in the game), and we started talking. And he told me how to do moves and stuff!
So, that was my first match, but my day wasn't over yet.
Then I went back to the Server(1st), and got challanged by my good but unseen friend "PaMaLiO", he was 1st or close to being 1st place at that time. We started fighting, and since I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A REAL BIG FAN OF "Street Fighter", I already knew how to do ALL of the moves. I believe I should've been winning my match, but I lost, then PaMaLiO IMd me saying "Aww common, I thought you would do better than that!", I told him that he wasn't being hurt, so he told me about lag(which I had figured). Then we just fought like 10 more battles, and I honestly got better, I even beat him one round (Yes, I thought he was the hardest, even in TarkanX's primetime). And by the end of the night, my rank was 52!
Then I learned how to do the moves without looking, and became good!
Possibly one of the best!
