It's been a good ride for this game... - Even through the dark ages...

[TarkanX]

Red Ryu was so special because he was just that, red... back in the day it was always white Ryu vs grey Ryu, but me and Lordcyris(who had a blue Ryu), it was like gold, you wanted to see it, it was so shiny, you were tired of seeing copper. Oh, and I guess another reason why it was so special was because it came with red sentinel.



Okay, now beginning TOC3....



After Fear Tetsuo passed my skill level, I had to train like there was no tomorrow, I kept fighting other opponents and winning, but whenever I fought Fear Tetsuo, I always lost. I also realized that Nferno passed my level when my ISP was down, so there were 2 people that I had to contend with. Just before TOC3 was about to start, TMyApp implented a jump lock system, this system was that you can only jump 3 times every ten seconds, and no more, until the ten seconds comes, while then, if you try to super jump, you would just jump. I hated this implention, since super jumping a lot is what I always did, it's what I've been doing since back in the day, that's how those fights are intense, you find your opponent, you do a super, but you miss, he does the same, and you dodge it, it's like a find and hunt site, this really limited me more, and further brought my skill level down.

Fear Tetsuo hated it, but he easily got used to it, and soon enough, he got better from the jump lock than he did when there was no jump lock, so that made the gap even stronger between me and him, him having the advantage. That day, CptnAmerica came back from retirement, we fought and I barely won. We both gave eachother some advice, but he inspired me more, that I shouldn't be intimidated by the jump lock, I should fight it out like I've done back in the day, with the heavy lag when Wolverine came, and dashing, and how I over came the strongest of players to win TOC1, and so I did, and I got a little better, but my confidence level was raised.

TOC3 came that day, and when I logged on to fight, WHAT?!?!?!?!?!!! NOO!!!!! My... my Red Ryu!!! Red Sentinel!!!! It was gone, gone gone gone... for the tournament so I wouldn't have the upper hand, I would have to fight like everyone else, this lowered my confidence level, and my skill level, since I've been used to the Red Sentinel so much that I forgot how to use the regular helpers, so I really had to change my strategy, but not in a fast way, since we were only beginning the preliminaries. The day TOC3 came, I was treated like a dirty dog, I was surprised with myself, and others were too. They looked at my top scores rank, which was at 370-5 before, now I has 50+ losses. People saw me declining, as if my time has passed on, I passed on the torch to Fear tetsuo, although it seemed like it, I would not let that saying catch up with me, I would be try to be the first person to not let that happen to.

TOC3 preliminaries was set like this. You can only fight 5 people everyday(or I believe so) from the tournament, there was a page at senshukentaikai where you submit your wins and losses. Most days I went 4-1, and 3-2, and others, I went 2-3. Everyday Fear tetsuo wanted to challenge me, but I would always try to dodge his acceptance, but everyday, I would always submit to him, we would fight, and I would lsoe rounds very close, or lose them horribly to conserve super meter for the next round, reminded me of Zing, except I was kind of aging, and Fear Tetsuo was in his prime. I ranked 25-9 in the preliminaries, good enough to get in the sweet 16. I forgot who I fought in the sweet 16, but aging players have their way against rookies, I douced him 3-0. PROfe$$or was the next challenge, and him gave me a run for my time, as he did in the preliminaries, he still couldn't beat me as I snuffed him 3-0.

My next match in the semifinals was first ranked Slk_Rik. He had the best point record in TOC3, I don't know how he did it, he was pretty silent in TOC3, but was ranked the best in the tournament, but he wasn't a favorite to win. Since he was better ranked, he hosted first, I won the first site, he won the 2nd, and I won the next to to advance to the finals against the winner of the Nferno666 vs Fear tetsuo winner. I wanted Nferno666 to win so we could play in the finals for the first time ever, it's what I wanted in TOC2(him or Nferno666 actually). He was the favorite to win Ewalks tourney as he posted the best record in the preliminaries. In TOC1, he lost in the 3rd round to a lagging Imagination/Wrestlemania 3-1, he overslept and din't make it to TOC2, so TOC3 would probably been his only/best chance so far.

here was the lowdown on the fight, Fear tetsuo won the first 2 which put him up 2-0, Nferno was stressed out, so he changed to his better computer. If Nferno lost, he would lose in a sweep and be eliminated. Nferno won the next 2 which put it in a best of 5 series. The best 2 players currently in the site going at it in one final match in the tournament for both players(I was ranked 3rd in my opinion). With honor, and the skill level, a Fear Tetsuo in his prike beat an emotional Nferno666 to advance to the finals to face me, I was disappointed that Nferno lost. When Me and Fear Tetsuo had to fight, I bickered at him, but he just wanted to fight(Fear Tetsuo, if you're reading this, I'm sorry for bickering at you before and after the series, please forgive me). I didn't have Ramen noodles with me as there was no more, it was about 9:00pm EST when we both fought. Fear tetsuo won the first 2 of intense matches, and then like the fight with Token, I became transed again, like my life was on the line, or if that 2nd rate person I was always came back to haunt me again, NO! I would have none of this, I will never be 2nd rate, I will beat the person I trained, and avenge Nferno666. Match 3, I exactly did that, it was very close, but I won, so it was 2-1 his lead. Match 4 would be very intense. We won both rounds, so this round was the most crucial to me. It was a close fight, at the end, he had more life, but if we got hit by a Shinkuu Hadouken, we would both lose, and the other player would win. I did my Shinkuu Hadouken, but he dodged it, he teleported, and did his behind my back.....

ugh!!!!!!! .....I lost, I lost the finals to Fear Tetsuo 3-1. I was mad at him, I continued to bicker at him, he apologized, but he said he was doign what he was supposed to, to win, just like Token. He shouldn't have apologized to him, I should've and I did that, once again fear Tetsuo, if you're reading this, I'm sorry for bickering at you, you were the best player ever, not me, even with my Red Ryu and Red Sentinel, even at my prime, you woudl still beat me, your just like Token, except because of me, Token never got to show his stuff geneally to the public. SO he had the title, and I suffered my first TOC loss, and my 2nd tournament loss at the finals match up(first one was to Lordcyris). People in the chat were saying to not feel down that I lost, I was, but then I quickly got over it.


Coming up next, I joined a clan through pressure, but no more, a new tournament comes? More people than TOC1?!? I can't wait! 4 player comes and people break the chat.

[KidKrazyShit]

haha, I was one of the ppl in the TOC3 sweet 16 you utterly rapped :biggrin:

[negativity]

well i got the 1000 wins thread if ne1 wants 2 c it i got da link its pretty kool

http://bbs.projectx.cyberfuturism.com/cgi-bin....l=1,000

[Scorponok]

I fought ManontheRun once..

He was horrible (At least at the time I played him), kinda shocked me when I found out he won the tournament..

[TarkanX]

Okay, a little bit after TOC3, Fear tetsuo did something that he hated the most about Project X, he lost his title because He told Stealth_Dragon the password to the Drunken Smashers. Stealth_Dragon told Fear that he was a part of Drunken Smashers and had forgot the password, Fear then told Stealth_Dragon the password, Zing somehow over heard and stripped Fear tetsuo of his title and gave it to me. Although I got the title, I didn't feel anything, you know, something you get doesn't mean anything if you didn't strive for it, like if you won one million dollars from the lottery, yet you dind't play, it doesn't mean anything that you got the time, even though your freakin rich, although that would never ever happen.

During the aftermath of TOC3, I didn't play the site much anymore, but I joined the Drunken Smashers since I kept getting bugged, don't remember who though. Anyways, a known player named asshole and I were talking about rank, and he said he wanted to be rank, and he wanted to be rank 1, this was a time where I decided to help people some, but not as heavily as I used to do where I trained people so much. So this is how it went, he went on the "player" user name and I beat the crap out of him and he wouldn't fight back, and after enough wins, he would log on to his regular name and then beat the crap out of me and scre higher than me, on and on this kept happening until the scores reset.

Nferno was racking up points by fighting a lot of people, they would challenge him, not he to them, he just kept fighting and fighting. I think we only fought a few times, he being the victor, and he said I wasn't trying, and he was right, sometime after I fought Fear tetsuo, I said to myself, what's the point, I crank up 85% against Nferno, but I don't crank it up all the way, for one, I felt that he should get rank 1, and another is that he didn't give me the same challenge Fear Tetsuo/Token/Zing did. I'm not saying his weaker, but it's like you have a friend, this friend has never achieved this status before, and has worked his life for it, well both of you are at this place to achieve the status, and you've done it before, but he's worked so hard. You want him to win, so even though you give it your best, you don't give it your "ultimate best". Okay if you're confused, this is what I mean.

Two people are in a fight, one relies on punches, the other relies on kicks, the kick person is a great fight, but not so great with his fists, vice versa with the other fighter. The kicking fighter uses his kicks, and some punches in the fight, and the punching fighter just gives it his all, somewhat realising that the kick fighter is using the weaker pucnhes in which the punch fighter can easily counter, if you don't get this then here's an easy one, two people are racing, one is slightly better than the other, the better at the near end slows down to let the other person wins, but he doesn't slow down completely, just slightly slows his pace.

Anyways where was I, oh yeah... Fear tetsuo still had his dominance, whenever I fight him, he beats me, everytime, and this one what he said shocked me. He said he wasn't trying when I almost beat him. Was this like manontherun vs me in TOC2? Me being manontherun and him being TarkanX? I realized that you can't always have your status, you have to give it up sometime, even though you think, and it's clearly seen that there's no way that someone can outrun you, it's happened everywhere, sports especially. I then found myself talking in the chat more than I played.

I found myself and asshole on the top, but then suddenly PROfe$$or(Im going to just use Pro since I don't feel like typing signs) came out on top. It was Asshole, Me, Nferno, and Pro respectively. On the last days, Pro dominated the top scores and finished first by far, even further than me in the first top scores. I wasn't really disappointed, since I wasn't achieving for it, yet pro was mocking the top 5 players. Asshole felt like he could've done better, but he didn't really give a damn, Nferno felt pissed but mostly depressed.

I think on that day, 4 player came, but it came a while later, I was in the chat servers waiting, and I was actually happy for this(but I can't tell the future, so I wouldn't know the dark sides of it). There were some previews about a few months before 4 player came at senshukentaikai, there were also characters like Sagat as a helper, but he never showed up. When 4 player came, I refrshed the site, and went into the chat, me, Nferno, Fear tetsuo, and some other person(TMyApp or Lordcyris), all of us played the 4 player, and what I thought of it was far from expected. There were so many glitches, huge bugs that really needed to be fixed, but hey, it was just released. One bug that was in there was that if you were getting hit by a beam super, you can tag out your character even though you're getting hit, I believed this also worked for other supers as well.

Now I really knew there was no hope in getting to the best player in the site, with this lag, ti was impossible to do anything, even if you had a super computer, most of my site I had lost. This wasn't XvSF, this was Wack-a-Mole.


Coming up, WT idea inspired, but comes to a premature end, I suck in clans, and Sentinel gives me hope!

[TarkanX]

At this point(a little while after 4 player). I wasn't good anymore, I mean, I sucked, I couldn't do anything, 4 players lag was too horrendous, not even the laggiest player lag this bad, Imagine 4 FPS against Manontherun + Wrestlemania. I never went up against that, but my FPS was constantly around 7, I closed programs, closed task bars, but it still wasn't enough, my FPS was always low that I couldn't do anything. I had nothing left to do except, retire, but when I tried to retire, it was like the site said... "come". I can't explain it, btu I'm sure some of you players had heard this before, I couldn't quit, and whenever I wanted to, it would just "force" me to the site.

But then there was a big tournament, the SOF held by Lordcyris and Asshole which held 140 people, 35 players more than in TOC1, but it was a failure like any tournament besides TOC series. Only about 20 people I believe showed up on the day of the tournament, the mistake that the SOF made was that you can't hold a tournament in one day, especially if it's filled with ####ies, tournaments that did that were either very small, or failed, TOC1 wasn't held in one day, TOC2 was, but most of the roster were with well praised fighters, but there were some absences, TOC3 wasn't held in one day, and I think that's the 2nd best tournament ever, it was skill vs skill, well praised, and known fighters going at ti with eachother, who wouldn't want to watch/hear about those fights?

But SOF was a failure indeed, so I had a new plan. I called it the WT, initials for Weekly Tournaments, registration begins the day the previous WT ends, and the WT begins on friday midnight(which would be Saturday). My first 3 WT's only gathered about 12 players combined, 2kWarrior, Nferno, KKS, and Wrestlemania were the main/only fighters of the tournament, in late May, I said I would be disbanding the WT's.

I found myself posting in the forum more than I played, I had a couple of big threads including the DBZ vs SF thread in which me and Nantuko, along with others seriously went at it, with continous intereference by ####ies, and there was the learning thread where I posted forms of english, although only a few listened, and those who did just posted to up their post count(for the most part).

The only fighting I did was with Sentinel, since I was plain bad with most of the characters. the glitch helped me a lot in fight, but when it was implented, I just quit the serious fighting, and just played to be a punching bag. I tried to lecture the ####ies in the chat, yet no one answered, they just talked among themselves

"User Name are you a girl"

"press this number if you are a girl"

"user name what are you wearing"

"lol, lmao, lmfao, yru mad"

"brb 2 g 2 da sto ta fish dat shiiieeeettt"


I don't know why I joined the WT's, I only had like 10 wins joining about 20 WT's, I was completely out of it. I had comments like "get a new computer", well I have been using this computer since the site started, and have been through the seriousness of lag, I even used other computers, and they were just as bad, even though they were 3 times more powerful.

I wrote faqs for characters, and mainly gave advice to the people who gave a damn of what I said or did. I went crazy that I made a topic flaming ####ies and got banned by Lefty, I apaologized a while later(about a week later), and got unbanned. Things were going really slow in project x, whenever I tried to quit, I'd come back and get my ass handed to by these fearless youngsters. The site was made up of people between 7-15, which in my opinion is bad, back then we had people 17+, so they would understand and listen to what you said, whether or not you were good, now(or at least before the site shut down), people would only fight you if you were a ####ie, if you had a retarded user name, or if you were in the top 20. I never got in the top 3 after the end of the 3rd top scores in which Pro got 1st rank.

I made a clan called Shadowloo, but that ended qickly, as I grew out of the site, I made a farewell post and came back one month later, I would've came back anytime, and I was tempted to, as every 4 days I would spy on the forum. I went to some "big" tournaments for their time like the Vet tourney(which I overslept), the tourney by Haohmaru in which I got a quick first round exit. The only thing I could do now is... host a tourney of my own.

I planned this tourney with Tidus a year back, but he was too busy to do anything, so I had to do this alone, btu with another crucuial helper and friend, Scorponok. With Scorponok willing to help me anytime, I had secured the part of having to seriously rely on the person. The tournament which was called the world warrior seemed like the next TOC1, and that's what I wanted it to be, even better. I got 100 people in the tournament, the 3rd highest in XvSF online history of tournaments, but the first round was disappointing. About 70% of players only fought, and I figured if no one, not even the fighters who play a lot want to play in this tournament, then there's no point in going on, so I cancelled it, people minded, but they didn't IM me about it, so that I guess meant that no one seriously cared.

About 4 days later, I got an IM from Viper about the site closing down, it was a letter from Marvel, and has the exact words on what the front page link has. That would've made the bell ding that my tournament should be canned, since I planned to end the tournament later than July 11(the day the site closed down). After July 10, I dind't post for a long time until today, today/and yesterday I want(ed) to share to you veterans, and ####ies about my bio on XvSF, and the bio and fad on the site, from trends, to emotions, from the players in-depth, to the site in-depth, I hope you all take the time to read this, and not complain about it, this is very educational for everyone, whether you're the smartest person in the world, or not.

I know I forgot somethings like how I destroyed clans in September, I'm having a flu right now, so I can't concentrate to my full capacity, but I'm constantly drinking water, even to this point. I also forgot some members who helped me play the site and enjoy it, which is everyone I've played, and has either received somehting benefical from me, or I received something beneficial form them. I know the site is down, and will most likely be like this, but that doesn't mean you have to go into a state of panic, we can all join hands mentally, and work through this, remember the suposed war with the USA and russia in the early 60's? people thought this would be the end, but it didn't happen, thanks to critical thinking, and mind tactics by the people who had no fear, we made it out alive for future generations.



Thank you for reading my post, and may your life be blessed with goodness, and health. I'll still be here, since there was never been a time that I "seriously" left, I've always been here, watching and posting, and playing, and teaching. Thank you especially to the developers of the site for giving me a chance to show my stuff and to shine, and for raising my confidence level, I'll never forget about you, you put so much work, even with doubts, and the constant bitching of members, but you just kept at it, outproved what people though would be impossible, thanks.

[TarkanX]

I guess I should list all the players for people to get a definite idea of:


LEFTYFB: The first time I looked at the top rank, I thought you were the ultimate player, the first time I fought you, I was shivering, the first time I fought you, I was into it, I lost one, but then I won one, thanks for giving me one of my first "real" fights.

SELVIN: You posted a lot, you cracked me up, even though you never played the site, you were humoristic

SSJKARMA: We bickered a lot, but we never really played, your a cool guy, but sometimes you don't make sense.

SOLIDSNAKE76: Smart person for your age, and wise I might add.

ASSHOLE: One of the funniest people I've ever talked to on the net, your a good fighter, and person, but you make weird decisions

PIP99: You were too late to see my prime, but you are a strong player, you probably could've gave me a hard time.

TMyApp: Maker of the site, gave me what I always wanted.

DX Zero: Lazy kid, but you were a strong player, you just never expanded

ROLL: Defensive person, has good aspirations, hope you achieve them someday...

KINGRYU1: Weird player, but you always relieved me for some reason.

WRESTLEMANIA: You lagged so much, and you talked a lot fo #### like if were you could easily beat me in my prime, but I always bested you before I broke down.

KIDKRAZYpoop: Beat him in TOC3 when he was a silent player, but he's developed very well now, wish I could fight him when I was at my prime, you're very dedicated to XvSF online as well.

NANTUKO_JOE: One of the smartest people I've got to talk with, our DB vs SF debates made me more smarter in general, I liked debating against you, too bad most of the things I debated with you about are almost dwindled in my interests.

SPORTSCHICK155: Never really had a time to talk, but your a good fighter, one of the best female fighters(Top 3 IMO).

SCORPONOK: A loyal friend, you were always ready to help anyone, and do things you dind't feel like doing, I give you the co-non laziest award.

MACHINE1: We fought, btu I wasn't serious, but your a good helper, thanks.

DANHIBIKI: Another of the smartest people who ever seriously posted on Project X, you are one of the wisest, and you never flame unless you're having a bad day.

AXE: Funny fellow, you can do things in your imagination and make them appear, I remember when you were sending me countless Private Messages during TOC1.

2000WARRIOR: You used to be what KKS is now, dedicated to XvSF, you weren't a good fighter, but you were always wise, and never jumped to conclusions.

MASTAQ: Cool guy, even though we never really discussed what we wanted to, you're dedicated to XvSF, and are with it till the end.

RAZZ: Funny guy, especially for your age.

DA_VIPA: Great fighter, another candidate I wish to have fought in my prime.

BLOODPACK: Smart person, but I never got to know you.

QUIETKILLER: Somewhat insane, but a funny person, and delicate skill.

WARMOR: Acted retarded at times, but you were a good fighter who had potential, but you were too busy to show it.

NOSOUL4EVR: Thanks for having test matches, and real matches with me, you are like the underated big gun of the site.

CHAOSCRUSHER/SHADOWHETCHOG: Good fighter who was into it, could've been a Fear Tetsuo if he only concentrated on fighting, and put aside other things.

DIGITALFIGHTER: Excellent fighter, but I never seriously fought you.

INCLUSIVE: the pre-Wrestlemania with less lag, I trained you, and you turned out great, but you have a big ego.

STEVENTHEBOL: Like Kingryu, I felt relieved for some reason whenever I saw you post.

PHYSICALS-R-SCARY: Young person who could fight, had potential, lots of it, but was diminished form lack of play.

EWALK: Sometimes you treated me like a 3rd wheel, but you were a good player, and insane, but you just disappeared.

BRAINDED7726: Read Ewalk, discard the good player

ZEROENA: You were just like Roll

OOHOTSAUCEOO: Excellent fighter, but your lack of caring for the site made you leave.

MONTALVO: Good to talk to, but just left without word.

ELENA: First female I trained, not the last, but you are the best, and you have a mind of your own.

DANYANKEES: Like 2000WARRIOR

ZING79: One of my most hardest challenges, you were better than me prior to TOC1, and I think you could've beaten me, but you just didn't try, if you kept playing, you would be the most popular player ever, but you still are.

VIPER2040: A better KKS in terms of caring for the site, donated 100+, and works very hard to earn respect from players.

LIGERZERO: Good fighter, I liked fighting you

MIG: One of the first clan members ever in the site

GOTHICARCHANGEL: Very tough fighter, I would've liked to fight you in my prime.


More to come....

[Tantum]

Nice thread, but you left out the part about me, and the devastation I laid upon the elite players when I was around for real. :hehe:

Other than that, you got my vote for best thread ever!! :thumbsup:

[Resident Evil]

dam thats a long ass story lol. ill see if i can start reading the whole thing lol

[SSJKarma]

it's a little hard to only get a "you're a cool guy" from you, but its true that we never really got along. we always were on different side of the coin if i can say !

anyway...
we did fought, one time in your primes !
remember the

I ASK A FAVOR THREAD that i made for you back in the days ?
there was a lot of people you were talking to in the forum, i was just a new guy in the site...
i was looking in the forum but never really talked.
then one day i we were in that discussion about you.
people were saying that you were the best and they were all congratulating you for something, that i don't remember. but then i posted for like the 12 or 13 times in this forum.

i asked you for a fight, to my surprise, you answered yes and we fixed the time and date for it.

knowing that back in the day people were saying you could easily kill in 3 seconds if ya wanted to.
to my surprise again, you were one of the few to actually go HEAD TO HEAD, HAND TO HAND almost never throwing hadokens except for closing-in move.

my goal was to hold on to at least 70 seconds, but the fight got finished at 30 seconds, more then i could have ever dreamed !
you were the only one to have gave me the fight of my life back then, the one fight that got me playing the XvsSF even more then i was before !

one thing was sure...
you didn't owned me, yet i say you weren't really playing...
for your FAME had already came and you had nothing more to proove.

that one and only fight we had TARK, it will stay burned in my memory for the rest of my life !
for that, i always respected you.

that far in XvsSF history dude, i know that... but it must have been good if i still remember it today, after almost two years !

** EDIT **
i remember the clan destroyer you were tark !
how can we forget it ?
you are the reason why there is so few clans in this site ! :colgate:

BTW...
those who ask why CLAN DESTROYER...
let me tell you that story.

basically...
when a new clan came up, he decided to took on the task of defeating every member in it, including the captain. thus by saying he defeated all members all by himself, we called it, a destroyed clan.

all of the clans that has been defeated mainly disbanded right after, seeing how they got easily owned by him, they saw no more needs for the clans !

CLAN DESTROYER...
that's a name i would have wanted during my time here... but i guess i never played for such fame !
