Your very first LF2 steps

[Azriel]

i like reading stories :P esp from the "old" members. ("old" here means experienced enough in lf2 to know what they're talking about).

btw Dome == DarkZorro? o.O

i'll type a version of my story (not many~ if any, people are really gonna bother reading it but it's just fun (i think anyway))

here we go:
first saw the game near the end of 2005 (came home from school and saw my brother playing it, i think one of his friends told him about it). I chose louis coz i liked swordsmen (and according to my brother this guy's a knight) instead of Deep. anyways, soon after i discovered Little Fighter 4 world. Downloaded a few characters (they were really crappy) but since they were "new" i thought them cool.

first try at making my own character: put henry sprites in template punching sprites and i thought template will shoot arrows. lolz. and i tried putting firzen's firzen cannon move sprites in it as well. obviously didn't work.

next attempt at making a character: replacing all the sprites of one character with megaman character sprites. I actually completed Deep with Protoman and Freeze with Megaman (battle network style). Then i also completed davis with Megaman X4 sprites.

next: discovered LFE, and i was like Wow. so u actually configure a character through data. course, before actually opening a data file, i thought the data changer was something where u choose the sprites, and press the input and the character's data will appear. (that's how my VFM idea came about). So anyways, learnt the basic code and had my share of overpowering Freeze by making him do an ice wall (facing: 100 of freeze column). Then played with hit_Fa: into henry's arrows so it chased. i don't think i did injury: 500 things though (weird).

i never did stage/background dc (so even now i won't be able to code a decent stage/background) but i did read about their tags and functions. (i actually learnt what the cc:, c1: and c2: tags did by looking at the Neverwinter Eye background, i didn't even look at the bg dc section of LFE then).

then, joined official forum in april 2006. thought mgccl was the pro guy there coz of his post count =S. course, i posted heaps and so i got a quite high post count kinda quick, but this has decreased majorly. Anyways, i did a number of weapons that fall from the sky. if u all remember, there was
Bob-omb (the real bad version lolz, the LFE version's much cooler)
Barrel (it's still hosted at that groups.msn thingy), basically it grabs a character that comes too close and shoots him really high and explodes.
Bandit and Knight statues: (the ones that u punch enough and it spawns the bandits/knights and hit them with an itr state 18 thingy to lower their hp).
gong: hit it and everyone on the map goes into DoP
{joined G4F at this point}
all character statues: (remember the self damaging objects? (as in when it opoints something, that object can hit the guy that opointed it) that was an accidental discovery from this thingy)
remade gong to fit the statues.

next (actually somewhere in between making all those weapons), i think i downloaded hamachi and got pwned by neo (aka xfx). here began my career of fighting.

then, ce lf2 appeared and somehow or other apparently i got the job of doing the video (lolz i didn't remember doing anything that made me qualify for the position). was fun actually (coz of all those combos to do).

then, forum mod came along. i remember my idiotic sprites lolz. (i tried spriting before the forum mod then it came up and heaps of ppl joined). those 15 sprite deadlines were gruesome. lolz Marshall showed his dark side.

oh btw random point in time somewhere here I remember i tried to mimic Kim_bo's sig and then heaps of ppl came up with their own random copies XD. course, we all were noobs at making sigs and some of ours looked like they were done in ms paint.

oh and somewhere before the forum mod started Sinow pmed me a "sketch" or something (it was coloured so dunno what term to use) for a basis of my char's face pic. it was approximately when i did that whirly card rain move (here's where i learnt about hit_Fa: 3 and 7). then when the forum mod started, Kim_bo pmed me a pencil drawing for the basis of my char's face pic, and i used that one instead. course, without that one my face pic would've been like #$!@ ugly.

since the forum mod kinda died, i became mostly a fighter, and also did that kalsiddon input holding dc thing. that was about the end of last year/beginning of this year.

this year, i kinda stopped lf2, except for going to the forums, playing against my brother, and some casual battles against scribbz.

then, 3~4 weeks ago, my computer studies teacher gave my class a space invaders tutorial just before the school holidays (i.e. last day of term). now, i've been working on a little fighter 2 remake. I did think of changing it to a new game last week or something instead of a remake of lf2, but i think i'll stick with lf2. it's coming along bit by bit (and great help from chiko on heaps of stuff, and silva for the random chats so that i'm not bored while programming it :P).

Then Marti comes along.
