Also wichtig und interresant wäre, wenn du kurz beschreibst, welche Games du gerne zocktst. Mehr will man eh nicht wissen. Und zähl am besten ein paar Beat'em ups auf, sonst haste vielleicht das falsche Board erwischt."Hay Lin" schrieb:
Hi bin nun auch neu hier, hab das Forum heute erst entdeckt und mich direkt mal angemeldet, dann mal auf gutes schreiben
Bin immer so schlecht in Reden halten, weiß jetzt garnicht so recht was über mich zu posten :oops:
Beginne lerne jetzt)Background history:
Since i've been told you like nice histories, here goes the big version of it.
- Started in fighting games with Street Fighter 2 World Warrior, in the arcades (October 1992). Was 14 years old (just done) and watching out for cops cause I was under age to be in a arcade (+16 years law)
My first option in the game was Dhalsim, which continues to be my favorite char. But it was with Ryu that I actually went far in the game. First time I tryed him went all the way till the final 4 bosses. From what I remember the machine only had 3 buttons, was later that I realized that the game itself was trully 6 buttons. hehehe..
- In 1993, in that same arcade (that i used to play in school breaks) i came to know SF2CE and MK1 at the same time. Thus becomming the 2 games that more marked me (SF2 & MK1).
In 1993 and 1994 also saw some other fighting games: Fatal Fury saga, World Heroes 1 (finished the game at first try, just by watching others for 30 minutes) & 2, Killer Instinct, Virtua fighter, ... to name a few. But SF and MK was what actually I played the most and with more pleasure, also due to the nice difficulty (not too hard not too easy).
In the meanwhile arcades started disapearing, and the ones left are mainly "badly frequented" if you get what I mean..
Once I noticed and stayed totally excited when I saw for the first a "new" SF since the SF2. Not being a "hacked" version (like Champion Edition or Hyper Fighting), but actually new animation, levels and characters. ...I saw a dark figure in a middle of thunders that seemed fairly familiar... Stayed looking at it.. And it became ryu... (SSF2T) I remember it like if it was today. Yes sounds geeky, unfortunally
(I didn't really had money, and like i said, arcades were growing less and more and more "dark & unsafe" places to be.)
never played it again...
only kept some access to SF on the console versions, that i would play at stores (my parents were not rich to afford SNES or MegaDrives and their games and since the live cost level in Portugal is greater than many other europeans, was even a 3 times harder task.)
...until
SF2 for the pc was crap. Lots of frames missing, and it was not because being a slow computer. Fortunally SSF2T came out on pc. And that was when i finally got the oportunity to train SF at home. I had no real good players near me, so I played vs CPU most of the times. Even played with school colleges, but they were never as good as the CPU.
So then was when a funny thing happened. Since I had no arcades to play, and no consoles to play, i only had that. A computer. No pads or sticks... Just a keyboard. And that was all I used. ...Playing SSF2T from 1996 to 2000 on the PC (and also FPS games with no mouse), made me very good at playing with a keyboard.. and very bad playing with anything else
- On 2001 I started playing for the first time the SF Alphas, thanks to arcade emulators. Was a bit hard to adjust, but i managed (altough loosing my quality on SSF2T). I bought a pad in 2001. But by far i could play much better with the keyboard. And keyboard continued to be. "Why change the input in wich i am already by far better at?" Also in 2001 due to be tired of knowing no other good player I founded a irc channel and created a virtual dojo. Took some time but my wish became true. A community of portuguese streetfighters was formed, and kept growing as good players and new players from all the country would come across the channel and participating on the Online Tournaments managed by me.
After 2 years, unfortunally, real life catched up for good. I was having less and less time and on the other hand the tournaments were becomming more and more complex to manage due to the increasing number of ppl (first tournament had 8 subcriptions, 2 years after had more than 30).. So I stopped making online tournamments, but kept the Dojo existing.
1 year and a half after I stopped the online tournaments something wonderfull happened in Portugal. A portuguese (from Azores island) organized a event and made publicity to it in the SF-Dojo, inviting us to participate. Seems that the guy was a very good player that made some internacional gamming. And now wanted to retire, but first wanting to analise the ppl in the continent. So he saved money, went to Lisbon and created the EFT 2004 (Extreme Fighting Tournament 2004). The first national, offline tournament. It even had fully size good looking cups. The guy, nicknamed "Akuma" (creator of akumacombos.com) won most of the games 1st prizes. He used SFA2 as one of the games in the tournament, and that had an impact. Ppl loved the tournamment existance and asked for more, not wanting that to be the last time to see such a thing and such a good player. Also ppl got to meet each others and not only that but little communities of diferent beat'em up sagas became aware of each others (KOF players <-> Tekken players <-> StreetFighter community). One of the guys present at that tournament, some months later on created a forum named PTFIGHTERS for ppl to keep contact with each others wich today is an active community of fighters in Portugal. So trough there, the ppl that went to EFT2004 started to organize their own offline tournaments. This was gold for me. Overtime ppl from other countries started to be invited. And so far we already had brazilian, spannish and philipines fighters.
I could finally be with ppl, making friends, knowing nice players and feel competition. A strong one and going stronger!
As for the keyboard input, the first tournaments I never made a nice game to watch, cause without the keyboard I was not really able to to much anymore. I bought pads to train in, got a bit better, but even so by far with a keyboard I play better. How could I overcome, in a short period, a input i trainned almost a decade? Answer... I couldn't.
Luckly my prays were eard it seems.
So now that I moved to Germany, in search for a happier and financially better live, I have a keyboard and a adaptor for ps2 and I am not afraid to use them!
Let's see how my story continues in German lands
Hope i did not bored anyone to death
That's my history.
I look forward to meet the German players.
