I only gave myself a grab of a 4 because I have done a LOT of grappling and
back in the day before my concussion I was training in judo around 4 hours
a day, four days a week. Maybe a 3 would have been more appropriate but I
am very good, I have the "grappler instincts". I can also assure you that
Shan does indeed have a block of a 4, it's the scariest thing I've ever
seen, even before I started training him hardcore, he was blocking
EVERYTHING. . . . .

Alright children, let's play nice...

Hey, we're all here to have fun. Nobody was trying to attack anyone, I'm
sure most of it was just "joshing" as we say in the south. Let's calm down
and enjoy Street Fighter - that's what the list is about. If someone says
something you don't agree with, try walking away from the computer for a
while, so when you come back you can answer in a mature way, without being
hurt or angry. I've had to do it myself. I'd hate to see anyone banned from
the list and regretting it later.

Let me change the subject - has anyone here besides me seen the x-men?

Ok, this goes no further please. I was kind of enjoying the 'portray
yourself as a streetfighter' posts. Yeah, I think some are inflated, but
who cares? So no more 'I can kick your ass' stuff ok? Oh and please watch
the language.

Thanks

MikeM

I certainly don't like the direction this discussion is taking. We've always
been a group of guys who treat each other respectfully, rarely resorting to
derogatory name calling, or even threats.

For me, this concept of posting ourselves as Street Fighter characters was a
very interesting and on-topic way of getting to know each other a little
better. I've learned that while Chris Hoffman can bench-press me, Megaman205
could drop a Volkswagen on me.

This was also an interesting way of starting a 'Fight Club' type tournament
where we would all pit our quasi-fighters against each other to see how we
fared.

Somehow this all got lost. We started debating how accurately we were
portraying ourselves, because some people's standards were different than
others. (I myself am guilty of giving myself 4 in Computers, because of
extensive knowledge in Programming and Networking), and the spirit of it all
was thrown out.

I would like to encourage more submissions. I was still looking forward to
seeing a few more...(Steve, show us the DOOM TROOPER)...

No more name-calling.
If you have a score to settle, draft up a character and keep it in the ring.
:)

Cheers everyone.

Scott,
X-Men kicked ass! I counted 3 or 4 loose ends at the end. I WANT
SEQUELS!

You can continue posting yourselves as characters, just not the childish
flames.

For those people interested, in August Virtua Fighter Volumes 1 and 2 will
be released.

Here is a summary of them from Previews. (CAUTION: There are some spoilers
below so if you don't want to know, don't keep reading.

Virtua Fighter Volume 1

Contains episodes 1-4. In episode 1, the series starts off in New Los
Angeles' Chinatown. While a young man (Akira) stuffs his face in a small
Chinese restaurant, a young woman bursts in, chased by several tough looking
guys in black. She is captured, and the restaurant owner asks the hungry
man to rescue the girl from a local gang of criminals called the Koen-Kan.
The man agrees, but on one condition: he can eat as much as he wants for
free at the restaurant after. The owner agrees and the man leaves. Akira
finds her, gets her out of the cell, and they both race outside, disposing
of several thugs on the way! Unfortunately Yang is waiting for them...
In episode 2, Pai and Akira help a little boy, Wei, who is picked on by the
youngest members of the Koen-Kan.
In episode 3, We meet Jacky and Sarah Bryant, blonde bombshells who both use
Jeet Kune Do.
In episode 4, Yang Wei-Ming finally gets in on the action! This is teh
climactic fight between Akira and Yang. Guess who wins?

Virtua Fighter Volume 2
Contains episodes 5-8
In episode 5, the heroes are bound for Las Vegas! Over a campfire, Akira
explains why hes wandering around: To try to regain his pure heart so he can
see eight stars that shine even in daylight.
In episode 6, during a pre-race party held at a casino, the gang runs into
Sarah and Jacky's parents. It turns out they are part of the incredibly
rich Bryant family, but Jacky doesnt want to follow his father's footsteps
and take care of the business, and this causes a lot of tension.
In episode 7, Pai and Jacky think that the local Koen-Kan kidnapped Sarah
and go off on a wild goose chase.
In episode 8, Pai's past and her ties to the Koen-Kan are revealed as Sarah
is being tested in Eve's lab. Lee Coleman shows up again, at first trying
to kill Akira through a dirty trick and then fighting him again. Of course
he losses.

X-men was excellent. Very well done, with good pacing to keep you
interested. Apparently those unfamiliar with the comic had no trouble
following the plot, which is the major item that I had been concerned with.
As far as fight scenes go Mystique has some great moves. And as far as what
this has to do with street fighter just realize that the super ridiculously
high flipping Jumps are what the Jump maneuver is all about, and this movie
took out the cheese (aka obvious wires) and make it look good.

I think as far as fight scenes go, Toad's character could have been played
up a little more. Ray Parks is an amazing martial artist, and just doesn't
get the credit he deserves.

Everyone knows that movie was filmed in Toronto right?
Okay..just checking. :)

I loved Toad! The comic version of the character bites, and they really did
him right in the movie. By the way, the director also wants sequels, and has
announced that if the industry will allow, he will have Apocolypse as the
bad guy in part three!!

funny thing, that. I once had to build myself as a Vampire character, and
after distributing my dots *realistically* I found out I had a bunch of
leftovers.

given the discussion going on here, you guys would *hate* to see the time I
drew myself up as a Virtual Adept for Mage...

Oh yes... that's what is tripping me out about these fours and
fives... especially in computer. I program for a living, and make a
pretty good living at it. From white wolf's scale, I'd say I had a
3... skilled professional(and I _have_ designed and written my own OS). 4
is top expert (any of you work at peoplesoft making 250K+ a year? I
thought not), and 5 is... get this... peerless mastery of the subject... I
don't even _know_ anybody who would be a 5... and I know some of the top
people at Borland, Microsoft, Oracle and others... one guy that took apart
and rebuilt Delphi with no source in 2 weeks.

IF this is to be realistic.. let's look at the definitions before we
post... you don't see very well or can't find your left shoe? how about
a 0 in a skill... or a 1 in perception...

Just my humble opinion...

I knew someone would drag me into this. ;)

I haven't drawn myself up as a fighter because I don't think it's possible
for a Street Fighter to have that many zeros on his character sheet. I
wouldn't even get as many technique dots as a MANAGER.

No problems mate, I was actually chuckling over the whole thing... wasn't
going to reply at all, but wanted to let it be know that I was trying to
inject a reality check into it, and get people to look at the definition
of four and five...

Twice already. thought it pretty much rocked, but I could tell that they
cut out 40 minutes. Liked all the cameos...

THat shoudl be enough. How about a contest to see who can identify the
most cameos? I saw colossus, pyro, iceman, shadowkat, quicksilver,
jubilee...

"Brother!" he says with a tear in his eye. "I feel the same way... I have
one high 3... maybe a few technique dots from my studies of choi li fut
and hapkido... and yes I know they are disparate styles... you take what
you get... I believe it would not be funny to get in the ring like this...
but your confession... I might actually make up my punching bag..."

I find this line interesting because in the Street Fighter manga from Tokima,
Ryu does the exact same thing. For years my friends were telling me that Akira
was nothing more than a 3D Ryu, maybe I owe them an appology...

nah, it's just a common theme. Jackie Chan is doing the same thing in the
intro to Jackie Chan's Stuntmaster, and Chun Li is sitting at a roadside
food market in Final Fight 2.

To live is to laugh. Only the dead are without laughter. (I read that in a
choose-your-own-adventure book, the source of all wisdom).

Maybe after everyone's done trying to recreate themselves with the SF system
realistically, maybe we could recreate ourselves as we wish we could be.

Pure Genius? Utter Stupidity?

On an ever so slightly related note, I saw Princess Mononoke in theater last
week. Apparently Disney's released it for all the 2nd chance 3rd chance and
last chance theaters. I saw it in the Oakdale Mall in Johnson City. Check
your listings and see if it's somewhere near you. You won't be disapointed.

The champion was in bad shape. The contender was good and was just a few
seconds away from the pin. Then suddenly the champion broke the hold and threw
the contender to the mat and stunned him, then shakelly rose to his feet and
pinned him.

After the match reporters asked how he achieved that dramatic come-back. The
champion looked slightly embarrased and answered, "Well, there I was all bent
up and about to loose my title when I saw these balls hanging in front of me.
I figured if it's good enough for Mike Tyson, it's good enough for me. You'd

Heh, I based all my old D&D campaigns on them. I can't tell you how many times
I send my poor characters into the cave of time.

If it goes up on Friday, then I (barring universal armageddon) should have them
texed by Tuesday.

I am new to this newsgroup... and I still do not have the info necessary to
create a character... could someone tell me where I might find the
sourcebook(s), preferable online...

-W

Heh. I still have 16 D&D ones, 3 Might & Magic ones, 8 Indiana jones ones, 3
transformers, 2 gi joes, 1 sagard the barbarian, 1 cyber spy (or
somethinglike that), 2 cars wars, 1 wolverine and 1 x-men. The car wars and
wolverine were the best b/c they were rolled combats like an rpg & the book
mark doubled as a character sheet. I never throw anything out, and when my
mom purged it never dawned on her to toss the books :)

You guys have to check out the following link, and yes it's a 15meg download
but don't be scared, just check it out I promise you'll thank me for it!

http://download.ign.com/psx/summonergeeks.exe

I have all the Maneuvers posted online at:
http://www.tsixroads.com/~joespitt/dogsofwar.htm

That makes up quite a chunk of the original books. You'll find link to all
the styles there, too.
Hope that helps you get the stuff together you are looking for.

yes, yes, yesssss. Oh, and by the way, I know that Dougray Scott
(Wolverine), Famke Jenssen (Jean Grey), and Patrick Steward (Prof X), have
signed on for two more movies. DROOOOOOL!!!! I even heard of a potential
Pheonix storyline!!! Life would be grand, indeed.

and get people to look at the definition

>of four and five...

i think the best definition i've heard for WW 4's and 5's comes from a
friend of mine. 4 is around the area of best in the country. 5 is best on
the planet.


Luck? Its just a roll of the dice...

I doubt Dougray Scott will be in any of the sequels since he had to drop out
because of the delay in Mission Impossible II. Hugh Jackman played
Wolverine.

Two little tidbits about the new Warrior's Pride:

Instead of Friday, I'm going to release it on Saturday. I hope that no one
has any serious problem with this.
The next tidbit is that I'm going to include the character creation
guidelines for the Warrior's Pride Duelist Tournament. Characters will be
Rank 5.

The next bit is way off topic.
Does anyone on this list play Ravenloft? And if so, do they have the Domains
of Dread book and be willing to do me a favor? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the time,
Dustin.

I think I got that beat. :) I had the entire series of CYOA plus a bunch of
Which-Way Adventures (same thing, different publisher), all six Golden
Dragon Fantasy Gamebooks (what he said, with the dice n' all), an Indiana
Jones, a GI Joe, and probably a few others I don't even recall. I was
addicted to those things. :p

Wonder if they're still in the garage with all my old Beverly Cleary books?

funny you should mention Picky Picky. I read the book where Picky Picky
died about six months after we'd lost our own household pet, a cat who'd
been with us for years. I never identified with a pair of fictional
characters so much in my life. :) That woman's books just plain rocked. I
gotta go see if I still got 'em somewhere. Heh... the wife'll flip if she
sees me reading children's books.

They're probably all in my dad's basement, but I had a good ton of them
myself.

I remember one with a shark, one about a wizard's apprentice and his linked
dragon going to take on Shen, the dragon of doom.

I had a Superman, a Supergirl, and soooooo many more that I couldn't
possibly list them all.

(There was one that had a sequal about a Samuri and Ninja...)
