Most challenging fighters - and passing thoughts

[Troy88]

People that I've never beaten:

Lord-Oberon. Who is this guy? He doesn't get on very often, so not that many people know who he is, but ####... I just can't beat him, although I came close once. I'm on to his strategy...he doesn't sit still for a second. Most Ryu users will engage in a fireball war for at least part of the round...not so with this guy. He jumps around and roundhouses you the whole round, and with all the lag, it's hard to tell where he is. Then out of nowhere he'll teleport to the other side of the screen and hit you with a super. Watch out if you ever fight this guy...he's very unpredictable. He's a cocky son of a bitch, too.
Nferno666. I've actually beaten him once, but he gets put in this (short :biggrin list because once doesn't measure up to the other 10 times he's beaten me. His style, from what I remember, is actually similar to Lord-Oberon's. You WILL NOT win a fireball war with Nferno, because he'll be in your face roundhousing you before you know what hit you. He has mastered all of Ryu's moves, and is very unpredictable. I haven't played him recently, though. Hopefully I've improved since our last fight...
PROfe&#36&#36or. Only played him twice, back in the day...The first time we fought he beat me, the second match we fought froze in the first round, so we never got to finish it. From what I remember, he is an excellent fighter.
Shinakuma(with some digits). Haven't seen this guy in a long time, but I never beat him. Don't even remember his full name...

People that I can beat, but still consider to be better fighters than myself:

Digital Mode. But then again, he always wants to host (and I know going into it that I'm going to get stuck with Spiral). :biggrin:
dark-link. I remember back in the day when I first started playing this game, I was in the chat room running my mouth as usual, and then this guy comes in there and starts talking sh!t to me. Lol. I think our verbal war was almost as intense as our actual fight. We hit it off instantly. :biggrin: He ended up kicking my ass, btw. After our fight he recruited me to his clan. Since then I've gotten a lot better, and have managed to beat him several times (half of his current losses are from me ), but he beats me most of the time.
Strider42. Another excellent fighter. I was number 2 in our clan 'till he came along, dammit! Lol. I know he's not the most popular guy around here, and he is pretty cocky, but he is still a skilled fighter. I remember when he first started I used to whoop his ass left and right, but he's come a long way.

Even match ups (in other words, we're fairly equal):

Lordcyris. He's a tough fighter all around. Our matches almost always go to round 3 (even round 4 one time, I believe), and they are always intense.
fear_tetsuo. Why does everybody bitch about him lagging so much when they fight him? Hasn't been that bad from my experiences. Oh well. At any rate, he's up there with the best of them in my book. Don't let him get you in the corner with his hurricane kick. :biggrin:
tupac2westsider. Man, how the #### does he get his super meter built up so #### fast?!? Lol.
KidKrazySh!t. An excellent fighter (and an excellent partner to have in a tag battle :biggrin.
TarkanX. Tarkan doesn't play much anymore, and as a result, his skills aren't what they used to be. But I remember him at his best, and that is why he is in this list.
d148. I think I'm a little better than him, actually...but I don't take a challenge from him lightly. He knows what he's doing, so don't underestimate him.
J-Luna. He's come a long way as a fighter from when he first started playing.
AsshoIe. He gave me many pointers when I first started playing, back when I used no one but Chun-Li. Imagine his surprise when I picked Ryu for the first time and beat him! Lol. Always a good fight with AsshoIe.
