Hello World.

Call me Sam. I've been into Virtua Fighter for almost 5 years. I always thought myself best until my cousin bought the game and defeated me. I trained to defeat him and eventually learned to control my characters far better than I had in the past. Since me and my cousin were the only people we knew who had the game, there really never was a way to compare skill. Then VF5 came out and I've been able to play others and test my boundaries. My gamertag on XBOX LIVE is "Shun is Drunk", though I play with Eileen now-a-days. Although I've lost to better players than myself, I must admit that in the past I've been a sore loser. I have turned off my system near the end of a match or gone to the dashboard- not to avoid a loss, but rather to disappoint some player who would rather sucummb to cheap tactics spamming certain moves than play (what I thought at that time) a "good match". I can't remember when it was but I realized there was no such thing as a "good match", since it was only an opinion. I realized that if that player had made me ring out, or just spam the same move until I lost to K.O. then it was a "good match" for him, for me it was just unfair. It then hit me that it was my lack of skill and ability that made me lose the match... when this happened I got down on VF. I would start losing to the lower level players which made it worse for me, I would lose to my "online rivals" badly which brought me still even lower. It culminated in me purposely causing myself to ring out 3 times in a row when I faced Konjou Akira online in a ranked match. I gave up on VF that night, and put it away. I went and occupied myself with other games. I've come back now to start from the beginning. Bring myself back to training and learn everything I can, I've chosen for myself my first choice always "Shun". I'm on that path to be the best and better still. Condition myself to have something for every tactic strategy that comes my way. I've created this blog to record my training and also to recieve input from my fellow "VF'ers" who got there own blog. Thanks for you attention.
