How many people from 2001 post - I mean post often,

[MaDPoWer]

I remember when I joined... before TarkanX, before Dominicankid, before NoSoul4evr, before SSJKarma, before ABC123test....

Just me... Lefty... and TMyApp himself posting here. Those were the days.

[abc123test]

Not to mention there wasn't very many ####s, the ones that were wern't as ####ie as some of the ones we have today. It was fun back then on the forum since tmy was looking for new ideas to make the forum and game a better place. Alot of people helped out and posted many ideas and I loved the way we voted for char. back then lmfao. The top 20 was a very hard place to get too. We had alot of people with very good recoreds I think mine was 47 wins and 6 losses rank 100 are something of the sort. Back then almost no one had more losses then wins. Also the best part is IT WAS ALL RYU VS RYU 1 ON 1! XD

And to even think that there was actually cheap people back in 2001! ####saibot used to be the one making those cheap punches to death to get his wins. but then tmyapp fixed that bug and made the characters back off by ever low punch they make. WHICH WAS VERY SMART OF HIM!

I had joined the game in sept. 2001 and dxzero was rank 1. I didn't join the forum until Zing79 was advertizing the TOC in the game chat. During the first TOC tournament the first clans were created. Before senshukentaikai clans. The xXsomebodyXx army (which i was in with UMJ and Offma) and the black dragons i think by just blaze kinda forgot. we used to challenge the fighters on this forum.. well not this forum the forum used to be plain black and white with red links and it was hosted by wargames.mikerosoft. After I lost to TarkanX in TOC 1 then I started to train harder than before. I used my new name Stillmatic (which is the name of a rap album) and i went straight to 84-0 in the game and got my first lost against Koopsta. Koopsta Stealth-Dragon Allan Iverson and j-dog014 were always tryin to gang up on me. Those 4 people are the first to start talkin about *emulators* in the game. Allan Iverson aka Hotsauce and j-dog014 made a fansite called PrinceRyuk which used to be hosted by cyberfuturism.com... As senshukentaikai was first released I joiined Stealth-Dragon's clan called Raging Dragons. I barely posted there and I didn't even like some of the members there such as Sportschick155.. Then I stayed away from senshukentaikai for a little bit and just kept playin the game without senshukentaikai.. Fighting the fighters who were elite at the moment like manontherun (he was prolly the first chunli user to be in rank 1) (he also won TOC II i think).. And he was pretty easy to beat... Omnislasher had joined the game as well... He would only fight ####ies and he would stay in rank one fighting ####ies.. NOWADAYS EVERYONE IS DOING THAT! He changed his name to Mcbeth and started doing the same thing over and over. The problem was about trying to take his rank it was impossible cause the guy wouldn't sleep.. He would just play all day. I would challenge him and he would never fight me. So i never would have found out how good he ever was.. To back things up in time a little bit xvmst was trying to prove himself to be the greatest or laggiest fighter ever to play the game. He changed his name to fear-tetsuo and joined the smashers. He would argue with nferno666 all the time in the smashers senshuk forum. (the rumor was that nferno was a bit jealous of fear-tetsuo's power) fear-tetuo used to lag BAD.. Jumping all over the screen and the shinkuu used to hit him for a second. He joined Zing79's TOC III and got his final match against TarkanX. I think fear-tetsuo won the best out of 5 but got disqualified for cheating. TarkanX had the special red ryu with the special sentinel who used to run all over the screen. I think it was taken away from him during the release of N.O.T.S (Night of the Sentinels)... At that time i joined the Shotokan Masters KKS leading the clan.. When TMyApp released TAG mode i was excited to see how it came out. When i entered the game i found out how much it changed.. IN A BAD WAY... The lag was probably the worst lag i ever saw.. I was beating the elite fighters like they have just signed in the game... Then tmyapp fixed most bugs and lag and put it back to *normal* well at least a lil close to *normal* tag mode scared away alot of vets making them retire for good. ramziel didnt like it. professor didnt like it. he left the game and the shotokan masters. and many other vets had left... Tag Mode was really most of the reason why vets have left the game. (Even though it was one of tmyapp's hardest work) Then people started caring less of the game.. So they would just post in senshuk forums or the official forums and just make gfx and crap. I joined another clan called DK which prolly gave me a little life back... fighting other great clans.. then i left the clan and i started fighting on my own.. I joined mastaq's Brawl for All tournament. I think it went up to fixe rounds and I ended up in Runner Up position losing to Strider42. I retired from the game for one year and came back december. and i thought i would see the fighters i fought before but didn't see one of them. I read some old topics from challenges and tournaments saying that i had changed my name into something else cause they found this *new laggy player* the tournament was the Hardcore tournament. I laughed about it cause the Shotokan Masters rated me Top 3 laggiest people to play the game right next to fear-tetsuo. I came back played the game a little bit and got bored.. So then i found out that Darkmagick had came back to the game and i created a clan called Kyokugen Masters which is dead for nowbecause some left to vacation but I will have to revive it soon when Darkmagick comes back from his vacation this week.

Now I am willing to do anything to help the game out and bring it to life. So again i ask if anyone got any ideas just email me at lancer <a href="mailto:px@hotmail.co...otmail.com</a> or add me on msn with the same email.

Now that I really think about it... What happened?
Who or what caused the slow destruction of the community?
I dont what to say the members, because... THAT JUST CANT BE THE ONLY THING... it's sad. If it was once good, we can make it that good again right?
All of your memories actually sadden me. It seemed so blissful.
What happened? If you know, When did it happen?
Please help me find out what, exactly, is wrong.

[dominicankid098]

well then you really have to read some of the things i said... ever since tag the vets lost interest in the game... but it just made it a little interesting for me... People would just play tag and just use the power of the variable attack to win games... some would start the game in level 3 to start the variable as soon as the fight begins.. but tmyapp fixed that and now u can only start on level 2 but i think shouldnt be that way... there shouldnt be a choice on what level you start on... mainly because 1. most likely the first supers you throw wont connect so quickly in the game 2. if the player is lucky to get it connected it would be a cheap way to win.

Now I check out the topscores... and it's like i dont know anybody there.. before top scores were reserved for the top fighters of the game WITH SKILL... but now it is open for any new person who joins the game cause they dont even have to fight the best to get the points... They can go ahead and beat a person ranked 100 about 30 times and you would be in good rank...

Clans and tournaments used to be a very big thing back then.. People would talk about clans and tournaments all the time in the game.. Now people just want to bore themselves and find a way to piss off SMACKDOWN AND INFINITYBOT and then they think its *funny* to get kicked..

At same time people are not making much of an effort to make the game a little more fun... All I see is Liger Zero and pip99 hosting a tournament which is going quite slow.. Then there is tarkanx hosting the world warriors tournament and we will see how he handles that tourney...

I remember a time when everyone was interested in the game..

When Dark-Gunner used to say after every match win or lose over and over: "I won WHOS NEXT!"

or when inclusive used to start rhyming on the forum dissing everyone in the game and there skills.

Now look at the game.. as many *hits* tmyapp gets in the game its pretty much almost dieing.. even if it is the number one game on arcadepod..

And cause of this I am going to make sure to help this game out.. I never contributed to this game.. never donated.. but i know i can contribute in someway. I got to start on my blueprints .

I made the name "Master Jay" in Dec. 2002.

When you say clans were a big thing, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean like if you were in a clan, you were important or special or you mustve been really good? Or clans were like new and people actually cared about them? Or both? Or something more?
Also, can you tell me what the ranking system was then?

Tournaments.... I dont know what to do about that. If people liked tournaments even when there were no prizes, I dont know why they are dying... I will have to think about that. Dont think by me thinking, I wont accomplish anything. When I think, I think hard. You'll see some of my ideas by today's end.
It wont be so "funny" when they are exposed. You know who...
I try to make the game more fun by adding my own little mode, as you may already know, Be as cheap as you want here games. People tell me these games are fun, and I could start listing if you wanted, heh. Although these games change the style from skill for skill, it changes it to strategy for strategy. I WILL BE THE ONE TO HOST THE FIRST "BE AS CHEAP AS YOU WANT HERE" Tournament. It will be an excellent reliever as well as fun. I am sure people will join because people finally get to do whatever they want and not get critizised. People will try doing the most efficient things to win in a match. Sometimes I wonder if I am destroying the game with these games, but then I remember... I AM HAVING FUN. EVERYONE IS HAVING FUN! Except the idiots that will be exposed for calling me a n00b after they see the title of the game and they choose to join... Only 2 have done this, but there are always those stupid people.

Hmm, I dont think everyone can have a trademark saying, or be more interesting, heh, but I will try to see what I can do. I know a lot of people that are "al little mean and obnoxious" but I can change them, or should I say, I know they can change on their own. I can try making people nicer, but more interesting, they will have to do that on their own.

I can and will help too.

You see but it has to be something BIG. Tournaments used to be BIG back then. I know if someone wins a prize on the next tournament then everyone would like to join that tournament again just to win the prize. So then the life of the game will be back again. Clans used to be big because everyone would always challenge each other clans. I would stay in the chat and people would always be having clan battles or accepting new members to join their clan. That was all they would talk about! Now when you go to the game they have these private conversations that they can be talking about it in MSN MESSENGER.

And I too used to do the same as you. Make up a theme. I would host matches called *FREE WINS FOR ALL* and the Top Ten would always join my game. Which is very sad! Meaning the Top Ten would look for free wins just to stay in their ranks or get better ranks. The *FREE WINS FOR ALL* was the only way for me to get people to fight me. Top Ranks won't fight me 1 on 1 no tag cause they kinda knowbetter not too. LOL. When they see my name they know it is not going to be easy or a free win. LOL.

but no matter what it is going to be my mission to help bring the life again of this game. I don't care if the people hate me or love me. They will respect what I can bring to the game.

[shadowdog2244]

Very true, I am sure you will. And away I go. I will assist you.
