He used to come through with old school SF tournament memories of meeting the person that discovered Guile's handcuff and invisible throw.
He's probably the most accomplished SF tournament player on NT (at least he was 4 years ago).
For all my bay area heads that were actively involved in Street Fighter tournament from the 1991 to 1997 era, I'm sure I've crossed paths with yall. I have been heavily involved with Street Fighter since I was in 7th grade (198 'till about early 1998 when I somewhat called it quits. I still get the urge at times and get my game on once in a while but it is definitely not the same. I firmly believe that the hardcore Street Fighter players and tournaments was at it's peak during the '92 to late '96. It has significantly gone downhill since. Not to take away any credit from the OGs like myself who are still heavily involved in the scene but I was making Dhalsim appear and re-appear, doing Guile's Air Throw 'till the round was over, beat your top tier character with E. Honda, and precisely annihilate you with M. Bison before Shoryuken even came in the picture. Scrubs back then did not have any chance. That was how serious SF was baaaaccccckkkk in the days. Street Fighter was my first love and I'm proud to say that all (YES, ALL) similar fighting games today stemmed from Street Fighter. It certainly does not get the credit it truly deserves.
...But.... to this very day .... SF II Championship Hyper Edition is and will always be the best SF series ever. Seriously. The mechanics alone, being that it is probably the only glitch free SF produced to this day, is enough to top the rest. Additionally, it did not include the fancy power-up meters like majority of the SF series that followed. Thus, you had to beat your opponent with pure skill and flawless timing. Then you start to perfectly develop "mind games" and superb "set-up moves" which is the ultimate difference between a good SF player vs. a great SF player. This to me was what got me hooked for so many years in the game.
I'm not gonna lie, I am and will always play SF but it has not been seriously the same with the SF releases that followed SF II Hyper Fighting Edition. I would rather beat you skillfully fair and square rather than punk you in a glitch fest (i.e., SF Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and the rest of the series that followed there after).
For the record, I have not played or even touched SF IV. However, I have heard from very reliable sources that it is really IT. I'll reserve my judgement 'till I get to actually test and play it.
....more to follow....
You got it. The last time I stopped by D&B a little over 3 months ago, they had the ultracade machine with the SF II Hyper Fighting collectingdust in a little corner close to where you claim your prize. I remember when D&B first dropped this ultacade at least 4 years ago now, it was surrounded bynumerous cats just waitin' to get in line to play. I brought it even old school back then and placed a token against the screen, awaiting for my turn. Justlike the good o'le days.....Originally Posted by Raginl3ull

I'm down to play you. Dave and Busters in Milpitis. I haven't played seriously since 2005. Let me know me bro!
Cool...I used to play every weekend at D&B. I played guile, and I was the dude to beat for a minute. Then the crowds stopped coming, and sodid I? Who do you play? Back then I was bald, short dark filipino dude hehe.Originally Posted by NDZTRUCKT

I'm Filipino as well and by the looks of how you describe yourself, we definitely ran into each other already. There was this cat that really brought it to me back when I was playing there all the time and also rocked Jordans like myself. Short, dark, and bald too. Don't know if this was you. But anyhow, I play every character but Ryu is my dude. I would sometimes bring out my Chun Li and Sagat but my heater definitely goes out to Ryu....

I think I remember you correct me if I'm wrong, I think you're n inch shorter than me, used to come with your girl and had a you had a fade? If not, there was this one cat who played Ryu (I think balrog or sagat too) was schooling fools haha...is that you? There was also an employee mixed black dude who played Sagat, this brotha that played blanka I used to see all the time.
man, dude is clutch like MJ. Even if you can parry the SUPER on a normal day, dude did that in� a Tournament with a crowd yelling and screaming.Originally Posted by FromThaTown
