Do you consider yourself an OG member?

Lurked here and mmcafe, HerV, etc. since at least 2001 before 9/11, joined sometime in early 2003 but different account/computer and continued to lurk and read up on Viscant’s/s-kill’s/shoutzla’s, etc. threads. Forgot the credentials after my power supply had a meltdown and fried my tower, thus rejoined in the start of 2005 to get the info for a Third Strike tourney. I was still mostly fighting at CTF and the other NYC arcades (RIP) before online competition became the status quo, so my online presence only increased as the physical time inside a brick & mortar arcade waned. I still remember the greatest advice Justin gave me, “Stop using Legion.”

Semi OG-SRK’er? Yeah. OG-Bodega Fighter, damn right.

222

Wasn’t someone busted out for trying to bring in myspace girls then got trolled even worse since didn’t join a list?

223

Oh my Dog, not this weeaboo site. I had to stop posting there once the furry and loli pics got to the point of borderline pedophilia.

224

You’re OG SRK if you were here for:

  • Images in sigs (To be exact MULTIPLE animated SF, KoF, DBZ, Gundam, etc. gifs in sigs that made reading threads on a 56k nearly impossible).
  • Everyone crushing on akumachan
  • Fighters.net migration
  • Shin Chuji’s death
  • Deathscythe going from 0-10,000’ish posts in like… a month
  • Brandon Lee defending Eminem to the grave
  • CheezMastaWong
  • Jaha’s Pimpology Thread
  • CharlieOWNzYou
  • Teh Cock of Justice
  • Tagmonkey
  • StumP
  • Orange’s magazine cover avatars
  • The roasting of SirWilson
  • Zero, Jinsogood, and Zor flaming everyone
  • Phoshizzle Av’s
  • The infamous SRK crash where everything of old was lost
225

Yeah, HerV needed that site crash. Had to wade through there with a ten foot pole sometimes.

226

I only went there because cka recommended it, but fuck. I think that site truly scarred me. Either way, glad to see another survivor.

227

I consider myself an OG member
SRK died twice if I remember.
I know a lot about the old stuff oldfags know about.

You had to be there.

228

Stuckey still games.

Occassionally he’s even on PSN.

Maybe he has posted on new SRK a couple times.

Dunno.

No dark orange font.

Shaft is still recovering from a bad fit of Noncurvature Gastrocnemius, but he occasionally posts in the lounge.

229

also wasn’t the crazy story thread tainted with false stories? shaft brought that truth to light.

230

Definitely not, lol.

I mean I may be one of those 09ers who loves delving into OG knowledge and I’ve been one of those kids who played pretty much every single video game I could get my hands on, but I didn’t actively take fighters to a higher level until BB:CT. Before I learned about FG communities on the internet, I never felt like I had enough FG exposure because I was always super jealous of those players that knew people to play with and had arcades to go to.

The best I could do back then was playing Melee and Soul Calibur 2 with my brother and friends. I guess I had some pretty good Jigglypuff footsies for somebody who didn’t play competitively because Jiggs was always my best.

I mean I guess I’m old in a way though, thought not nearly enough to be OG status. I’ve seen so much happen here since I regged in 09.

231

Not an OG SRK Member one bit. I lurked as I didn’t find any reason to join. I was too busy playing in the arcades and then disappeared from the arcade scene in '96.

232

OGs are old men who can’t win tournaments and have problems with getting erections.

09ers UNITE!

KappaKappaKappaKappaKappaKappaKappa!

233

how much does he owe?

let’s set up a paypal donation fund and bring him back

234

Don’t forget Strongrrrrr, the flaming fag who lost his touch.

235

Lurked before SF4 for 3rd strike info since that was the main game, and only played game at my college (it was rigged to free play mode)
Made an account during SF4 and lurked some more for info.
Made my first Thread Post on Skullgirls

I dont consider myself SRK OG just interested in fighting games. I mainly hung around arcades to gather most of the info personally and make new friends. SRK was there for extra info. never cared for posting unless i felt like what i had to say contributed in some aspect.

236

Remember back when the point of combo videos was to test the limits of human execution, rather than the limits of the game engine?

Or was that just me?

237

Dude was jizzing over the rocketships he got after reaching that number, I was jealous but too lazy to post that much.

238

jaha’s pimpology was amazing.

239

I feel like a new member now since i haven’t been on the forums for like 5 years now. i just go to srk main page or eventhubs for my fg news.

1000 bucks.
