Before coming to these forums and interacting with a bunch of you, I can honestly thought I was somewhat of a "pr0" when it came to fighting games, (3s in particular) when in reality I was your typical Scrub. I threw away Supers as soon as I got them, Fireball whored if I played with shoto'z, SBK spammed if I was Chun-li, and only used 2 out of 6 buttons; Fierce Kick/Punch. I also tried to end every match with a spectacular finish.

I realized that your only as good as your competition, simply because the people that I played were even shittier than me; The things I did over and over led me to actually win against them, hence making me think I was a "pr0". When I watched the infamous Umehara video that only increased my level of scrubbiness, I actually started practicing parries on Chun-li's SAII, and once accomplishing that I thought that I had reached some "Super saiyan level" of gameplay. (I like DBZ so fuck you! lol) Was I sadly mistaking! After a few months of coming on this site, listening to people's words of wisdom, reading older informative threads and what not, i've gotten much better. Shit, I Just got my 1st "S" Rank in the game the other day, while I know that isn't something worth wild to brag about as a person will always be more difficult than the cpu, its an accomplishment to me seeing that I Had mostly C's, F's, and E's lol. While I won't say I'm the next champ, I will say that i'm well on my way becoming one.

I just wanted to thank the entire SRK community for turning the lights on, taking the hood off my head, the blindfold off, and washing the mase outta my eyes, all that which prevented me from becoming a better player. I really appreciate it.

Good to hear you've gotten better. I joined SRK for similar reasons. :)

For those of you that aren't aware:

Jab = Light Punch
Strong = Medium Punch
Fierce = Hard Punch

Short = Light Kick
Forward = Medium Kick
Roundhouse = Hard Kick

"Fierce Kick" is pretty much a contradiction ... at least according to us older farts.

Anyways, glad to hear that you've learned so much from this site/community.

Now Buy Premium !! :wgrin:

Trust me, if I could find some "real people" to play with I'd be there. Unfortunately as big a city as miami is, I can't find an arcade that has 3rd Strike. =(

Check the matchmaking forum for the south. I'm pretty sure that Miami has it's fair share of players and they'd probably be glad to have a new player around.

If you can't find local comp, your next bets are tournies such as Final Round in your area (well, Atlanta), and Kaillera 3s.
