Re: Who did you look up to?

Always kind of annoying that, that guy used my name and eventually posted videos of him cheating with quintuple A's and ruined my image for life.

what??? that really bums me out.. he's definitely on my list of people i looked up to

Re: Who did you look up to?

I had no idea IzzySM wasn't Izzy. What?! this should be more well-known.

Around 2006 and prior, I really looked up to Nima. I freaked out and went a bit creepy when I first met him in real life. Now I realize how cuckoo I acted...

I have both done this ("holy shit it's _____") and been the recipient of this ("holy shit you're arch0wl?!").

Perhaps the only person in the music game scene who hasn't felt this way about someone is Jenith, since as I understand it he is the original 'best' DDR player. But even JSB told me about a time he once saw Jenith and felt starstruck because he had only seen him at a distance. It happens to everyone.

This tends to happen when your name is everywhere but getting close to you is difficult, which the music game scene facilitates.

Re: Who did you look up to?

Have you guys really never seen those videos of AAAAA's? Stuff like him walking while AAAAAing. It's not even a matter of skill it's just impossible. Which in turn makes everything else questionable. Same deal with Nima which was also depressing. They were good at some point and then it got to their head.

Re: Who did you look up to?

What about now?

I really only play for fun, so I don't really look up to anyone. I can't really remembering anyone who influenced me during my practice, just from before I started.

Re: Who did you look up to?

Jellygod / Halogen / Shash

Jellygod was a boss when I was an indexer, if my memory recalls he taught me a lot about the game, played MP with me often, chatted with me. Wouldn't have got as far as I did without this guy.

Aj and I very often don't see eye to eye, but I will say he's one hell of an admirable player, and has been for a hell of a long time.

Shash was well, Shash. I feel as if this is entirely obvious.

Re: Who did you look up to?

Back then: I think like most people who joined around 2005-2007/8, Shashakiro was probably the guy.
EDIT: HOW THE BALLS DID I FORGET HAMMY?! Hammy. Hammy was another big one back then.

Now: I don't really look "up" to anyone, at least not game wise. More accurately, I look "at" people. People who are closely above/below or at the same level I'm at. Seeing them rise, and trying to rise with them - maybe even surpass them. So Middie's been one for a while, HalfStep's a new one; anyone who's consistently in my division in tournies is on there, so DarknessXoXLight gets a nod.
The list of people who were here is a good trip back in time, haha. Funmonkey54, kmay, and one other dude... all 4 of us would always be in the same division in tournies, and always be around the top. During FFR's crash, I remember the first DF tourney and -zeroSKILL- and I were pretty even for a long time. There's probably more names that could go here, but this is getting too long as is.

Stepping, I guess I could say the people whose opinions I go to about files a lot: kjwkjw, Niala, and lately, bmah. Without these guys, I probably wouldn't have any files in-game, let alone soon-to-be 2 and a half.
