| Another site that was around in the early days was the brawl.mindlink.net ftp site ran by David "Zoid" Kirsch. Before there were sites like GameFAQS or Shoryuken.com, it was a great place to get all of the early SF2 FAQs.
| |
| | |
| ==Beginnings==
| |
| [[Usenet]] -- agsf2 days
| |
| | |
| alt.games.sf2 was a Usenet newsgroup, which is a primitive bulletin board that allowed people with access to post SF Strategy and other assorted topics. However, Usenet was not widely available at that particular time to the public. It was mainly accessible from assorted colleges and universities from around the US, and a from a few workplaces. It was virtually a new way to talk about your favorite things with other people from around the country, and the world. This was also the first time that people would post not just strategy, but about other aspects of SF as well. There were topics ranging from psychology, to player habits, to betting on matches, etc. Everything was fair game in alt.games.sf2.
| |
| | |
| [[flamewars]] -- flame wars go here?
| |
| | |
| The newsgroup was also a notorious hotbed for flames. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Usenet and alt.games.sf2 will remember such recurring flames as Seth vs. Stiltman. This is one argument that has persisted, even into the present. There are many other flame wars worth mentioning, and one can find a vast archive of the newsgroup at http://groups.google.com.
| |
| | |
| ==IRC==
| |
| '''Late 1995'''- Allen Hackley (LordVoid) founded the channel #sf2. There were even less people at the time who had access to IRC than to Usenet and email. The original members were LordVoid, inkblot, Ponder, Ben Cureton (tragic), Bob Painter (Kuroyume), marwan, and Derek Daniels (omni).
| |
| | |
| '''1996''' - #sf2 on EFNet was then changed to #sf3, in anticipation of the impending release of Street Fighter III. Some people finally find their way to IRC shortly thereafter.
| |
| | |
| '''1998''' - #sf3 had changed to #capcom, to better reflect that the channel's interest in all Capcom fighting games. More and more people were starting to appear on the channel. Conversations were becoming more frequent, and the majority of the users were from agsf2. Unfortunately, even #capcom was not without drama. There were many instances of heated arguments, with personal issues increasingly involved. Everything that was in the SF community was now made public.
| |
| | |
| ==Shoryuken.com==
| |
| Late Feburary 2000, Shoryuken.com was born. 4 guys with nothing better to do gave birth to the best Street Fighter "supersite" out there.
