Your very first LF2 steps

[STM1993]

Huh, I didn't make a post here.

My brother introduced me to Little Fighter 2, back when it was version 1.7 - old sound effects, old face pics, no Julian/Bat/Justin/Knight, no Louis armor, Freeze ball having a different sprite. We would play together on the same keyboard through stage mode as Firen & Freeze. If I remember correctly, Firen is my first character.

Shortly after, I don't know how, I eventually learned about modding in LF2. I didn't bother to learn proper modding, simply throwing together mods from The Little Realm, and eventually made my way to Robotical World, which kept getting renamed as Lucky007, Game4Fans, RealityDesu and now its a dead forum called ChenCubed - during my time I was an utter noob who kept changing usernames and also explored other games. I've also been on lf-forever briefly before it became a russian LF2 site, and spent a bit of time on the official forums. Ultimately, I would find my place here in LF Empire - hands down the best LF2-related site even back before it is named the official fansite, with excellent resources especially for data changing. I was active enough to be a moderator, which explains my VIP status.

I never played LF2 online except once a few months back, but I resolve to never do so again, not when my geographical location doesn't match up with many other members and the game becomes ridiculously slow.

I did go on a period of online hiatus of about 4 years, but I never actually stopped playing LF2. It is such a simple game that I already know how to play and still remains fun; I've yet to conquer Stage 4 difficult without freeing hostages, and I've only cleared Stage 3 without hostages twice (Freeze & Dennis); failed all my other attempts. I've recently lost a lot of interest in gaming in general, but LF2 is still a fun game that I can just load up anytime and just play, and that inspired my return. It is actually only recently that I took up serious data changing and making proper new characters, and I came back with my 1st serious work Trevor Belmont. My 2nd and latest serious work would be STM1993Steiner. I'm presently planning a full LF2 mod as a "demake" of the original since I feel proper spriting is too much work haha.

So yeah. That's me.
