my achievement is not worth mentioning as my self see it as a failure, but since you insist, i have placed top 16 on NCR back in Vanilla and top 32 on Super (when i took tournament serious) both event had over 300 players, i have not entered “major” tournament since then, but i have entered few big local tournament (minimum 64 player) here in Norcal, competition in my area is stacked with many good players, i have done decent just shy getting some of the pot money, i mainly go NCR or other majors thats close by to money match out of town big names, i have beaten few big names (Krone, Andyocr, Air just to name a few) but with all that said my achievement is garbage on Street fighter related games but to some would say it as “not too bad” …my competitive gaming started back in 2001 with Tekken series (Tag1, T4, T5 and T5DR) i won my very first tournament local 64 man bracket in Tekken Tag in Chicago back in 2002, won few random T4 small tourny in Chicago then moved to Norcal and won here too, then i consistenly placed top 8 at every big/major tourny i enter for Tekken 5 series, and to some would say i had the best Murdak in the states( like it matters), tekken 5 was a really big tournament game, each major tournament had a big draw much like the SF4 series now, took few years off from competitive gaming because tekken 6 and tekken 6BR was garbage and it was too late pick up other big competitive fighting game like CVS2 and 3rd as the level was way too high for average skill to get better and compete, then SF4 vanilla release, its a basicly a fresh start for everyone so picked it as my new competitive game of choice then the rest is history, but i have always been around top level street fighter players ever since i moved to Norcal 2003, Ricky Ortiz, and Empthy (MrNaps) where big in 3rd strike and CVS2 both also played tekken 5 competitively which i session with nearly every day at the arcade,
no high level players post on SRK? again quit fucking assuming things you know nothing about, before competitive gaming started usiing social media mainstream network, SRK forum was the destination for all things related to competitive fighting game, tournament info, videos, advanced tech, etc… it was even used by many big name Japanese players,
before SF4 Vanilla, SRK forum was very different, moderators were very strict and kept bullshit out, its hard to explain it, but it used to have that old school american arcade " get better or die " attitude, where “noobish” shit dont fly and look down upon
then SF4 gets release, it brought so many new comers that it turned off many of the veteran/high level player that use this as form network,
i may come a lil strong here at times, maybe its due to the attitude of the era of fighting game i am accustomed but the kid is acting like he knows what the hell his talking about, but he completely has no idea, shit like that gets put on blast
