Anyone remember back in 2002-03 when there were those arguments about whether 3S was a viable game? Some of the top ST and SFA players came out arguing against the 3S players telling them parries were a joke, the game ended up as a turtle-fest cause anything could be parried or red parried, and that 2nd Impact was the only one of the III series even worth playing. Eight years later, wonder if they are gonna still stick by that? ;D

What the hell happened to this once so great forum??

:frowning:

I feel like I’m reading GameFaqs and I’m starting to hate some sections :frowning:

323

SFIV is what happened :frowning:

324

If you’d rather have the decaying fighting scene of the early 2000s instead of the current renaissance our community is experiencing, I don’t know what to tell you. All the scrub shit is worth it to me because something I love is thriving. SF4 is not a bad thing for this community, even if a bunch of fossils are whining about the good old days.

I first came here to read about Kage strats for VF3:TB on Dreamcast in 99. :slight_smile: Made another account (this one) in '06 for 3S lab work. Here’s to another 10 years SRK.

325

damn its been that long…?!? holy hell… was on #capcom before SRK and man oh man…how things have changed.

326

I’m not sure if you directed this towards me but in case you did:

I was referring to the increase in general stupidity on the forum. I enjoyed reading it and sometimes posting, way back, in contrast to current times. I’m not actually talking about any game in particular. Of course it’s great that SF4 came out and such, but that is not an excuse for stupidity on the boards.

You cant even say shit because then you’re considered as harassing or flaming in the new SRK.

But I get your point about taking the good with the bad so we get SF4 and drown in stupidity, thanks.

327

I got infracted fir ‘being mean to another member’. I didnt even swear or insult them. This forum has gone to shit, it’s gone PG like the WWE.

328

i think was 10 or 11 when this was up, i was too busy watching Dragon ball and mobile suit gundam. lol
but i remember lurking around the site on 05
**SRK till infinity! **

329

Been a long time. I feel old.

-ac
i AM old. sigh…

330

You’re only as old as you feel.

I can’t remember a certain poster for the life of me. Just for gee-whiz, what’s the name of the ‘GPOW refugee’ that had a Roll avatar for years? Has he posted here lately?

331

It’s been so many years on SRK…

Man…

SRK GD, what’s up?

It’s been so many fuckin’ years up in this bitch… to be honest with you I haven’t been visiting my fam on here as much, visiting other self development forums and so on…

I have to thank SRK GD for the endless amount of humor, and content you guys somehow find and post up… great conversations, along w/ SRK in general for making me into an obsessed video game fanatic which led me to such insights which I apply to my overall life in general.

The point of my post is… If you have been on here for a while…

How have you changed? Remember yourself since you first posted/started… What’s different? Have you become a better person? Have you become who you thought you were meant to be…

How many fuckin’ years has it been for me? almost a Decade… I’m a different man. I’m sure you are too… but are you a man of your own choosing?

Sometimes, we end up losing ourselves in petty bullshit and live life in a very short-sighted way and don’t steer our lives in a proactive way to become what we envisioned ourselves to be… we waste our time trying to impress people we don’t even like, and not contribute to people we love. We waste our lives not being thankful for the opportunity MANY children in other countries would KILL To have…

Are you becoming who you were MEANT TO BE? Who YOU thought you would be while you were a child… are you embodying the characteristics of the videogame/anime characters you so looked up to and wack off to on a daily basis?

How have I changed?
-Cutting marijuana out of my life… wow, I realized I would somehow RATIONALIZE that this is actually NOT THAT BAD FOR ME… but it TOTALLY made me lethargic and my life SHITTY-(a part me of still loves to toke, and I do it occassionally… but much less now.)
-Much leaner and physically fit now… with the help of MAGNUSMADNESS!!! :slight_smile: An Srk fellow member, and other people along the way…
-My work ethic is improving
-Much more productive…
-More generous towards people I love…
-More disciplined dedicated, and just being a fuckin’ FIGHTER in my daily life…
-More FOCUSED… focusing on things that MATTER: Family, good friends, goals I really want instead of what other people set for me, etc.
-Just being plain more fuckin’ GANGSTA and livin’ life with some BALLS.

In our own egoic delusions we forget that there are thousands of people who have lived their lives, and have left clues to their successes… don’t waste your time re-inventing the wheel, find the information on the subject you want to improve on or are interested in… even in creativity studies they’ve found, studying what is already developed leads to innovation much easier…!

Mummy-B in his last post said something to this effect: “Cherish the people you love, hold onto them.” Have you been doing this? How many years has Mummy-B been gone? (R.I.P.) We often KNOW what the right thing is, but barely DO what the right thing is…

This isn’t some feel good shit… this is your FUCKING LIFE. Life is short, live it up…

I see the vision, and i’m working towards it daily… are you?

:karate:

“Why do you fight?” Ryu asks himself…

“To find the answer”

God bless SRK! :tup:

I kept waiting for some sort of product placement ad link and it never came.

333

umm i’ve been on srk since day 1. didn’t register 'til september 2000 though when the discussions tarted to heat up.

A lot of what you posted applies to me. Especially cutting out dat toking and working out more. The main difference is I was 16 back then and now I’m 26. Got to earn my own upkeep and manage a lot more than back then when I could chill and play Marvel all day by the beach.

334

Touching words man.

Well, I joined SRK on May 2010 but I’ve been lurking on and off since the release of SFIV. Recently, I’ve been doing nothing with my life. Uni is finished for the summer and all I’ve been doing is either going to to visit friends or sitting at home. The worst part is, ever since I’ve moved back from uni, I’ve been taking things for granted, annoying my family, shutting myself out from them in my room, little stuff like that. I could at least keep my door open and just sit in the living room and have a convo once in awhile.

I want to do stuff, though. I want to do well at Uni, I want to practice and continue learning Japanese to become fluent, I want to go to the gym and put on some muscle, I want to have a good time with my life and enjoy it and not look back with any regrets. I want to tell people how I feel about them. There is alot of stuff I want to do. I take my life for granted too much, in my aspects. I’m gonna get off my arse and do something about these so in a couple of years and even months time I can look back with no regrets.

335

i’m like the only guy who can go to the projects he grew up by himself and be good

ask people in my projects when the last time they saw me

336

You used to have a Gunbound avatar, right?

EDIT: Question was for $|-|U(V)AYeL before his thread got moved to this one.

337

Stopped smoking, work out LESS. Working full time. Barely post here at all anymore. =(

338

Lots has changed since I’ve shown up on the site.

I was a very naive kid when I first showed up around these boards. I mean, back then, I THOUGHT I knew about life… I was into things that I shouldn’t have been into, I THOUGHT that I loved someone… I thought I knew everything about life, but not in an arrogant way.

Eight years later and I’ve realized that I knew VERY LITTLE about life at that point. I still feel very young but I’ve had lots of experiences since then. I left college and joined the military… I’ve been around the world and met lots of people. I’ve gotten married and have a kid on the way. I really want to get back in college although I am not sure about what to study.

I am not the person that I thought I would be. I didn’t plan on military life but it has definitely been good for me. It has hardened me mentally and made me mature (I THOUGHT that I was mature back years ago heh).

I look forward to taking my GI Bill and actually applying/devoting myself to college this time around. I am out of debt and I’m generally happy with my life thus far.

I would like to get back around my family though.

339

SRK ShinAkumax:Circle jerking since 2002, nothing’s changed.

340

My projects were bulldozed…I still go back there, though, to deliver equipment to the construction company that’s gonna be building condos for the “gentry” to move into. Where my block used to be is now a fenced-in parking lot for a GE Federal Credit Union. :sad:
