Well, anything could of happened, its not like I didn't beat Nferno, Professor, Hulk, Koopsta etc before. I beat every player considered elite back then, expect for Tarken. Tarken had that red sentinel that was the poop back then, I was amazed every time I saw it fly across whole the screen. I only fought Tarken 3 times, two of those times I was experimenting with chun-li (Handicap, but it was fun =/), and the other was after the ToC2. They made up this rule where I had to beat Tarken to recieve my blue Ryu that was supposed to be the reward for winning. When I finally fought him, I was pissed and exhaunted and played half ass'd, because I just had beaten Zing 10 times in a row to prove I deserved the title, and then I had to fight Tarken to get my reward, only because some people got mad that I won, including xmvsst (I think he switched to Feat Tetsuo or something and became the best ever? but thats another story, If you know whats this is about please tell me.). Anyway, I thought that was funny because before the tournament we(me and xmvsst) were training together, and we had some great close fights. He won 3 and I won 2, but he didn't seem to complain then. I decided I was gonna stop playing after all of that, I didn't feel I needed to deal with all that over some poopty game.

Tarken and I have different recollection of the events, he says I trashed talk before the fight, but thats not how I remember it. I didn't have the energy to do all that, I was too dissapionted in the xmvst community and was on my way to quiting. I told him good luck before the fight and good game after. I tried to be as friendly as possible, because I did respect him back then. but I feel he was on some superiority poop when I read his story of ToC2. but he does tell a good story, I have to admit. =/

Even after all that, I didn't actually completely quit until 2v2 came out. I wanted to give it a second chance because I had some rememberable moments fighting the best, (You know when the fight is so good that your hands are shaking afterwards and you know that it was intense). I lost that feeling after 2v2 came out. And it didn't help when I would go to a server and try to get a quick 1v1(RyuvsRyu) on, and no one would accept for a half an hour. I swear I would still probably be playing if it were just chun-li ryu and wolve. The game became too much about who is the cheapest than who had the most skill, in my opinion.

Hey TMyApp, wanna give me that blue ryu now? =)
