I'm 19 (though everyone says I look a lot older) and I've been playing fighting games with people since 2008. I started playing VF5 with the few people in Norcal that were playing it at the time, but that was rather short lived (thanks SF4!). Luckily, I was already learning Guilty Gear, so I played that and Blazblue instead. I still play Guilty Gear, but I got tired of Blazblue after about a year.
I've always had a passing interest in KOF (since I have always really liked MOTW) but never really tried to learn it until about 7 months ago, when I bought 98UM to practice for 98 on GGPO. This was all, of course, in preparation for 13, which I think has potential to be the game that puts KOF on the map in the US. I would personally like to see 13 as an official game at NCR, and I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen. There is a bit of interest from the anime players in Norcal, but I'm still discussing whether or not having 13 at Norcal Install (monthly GG/MB/BB/AH tournament) is a good idea.
My KOF fundamentals are rather weak, but I see 13 as a chance to change that.
I guess since it's inevitably going to be asked, here's a list of my mains:
VF5: Jacky, Aoi, Eileen
GGAC: Johnny, ABA
BBCS: Hakumen, Jin
AH3: Time Kamui, Wind Kamui
T6: Miguel, Julia, Bob
ST: Cammy, Ken, Claw, Deejay
CVS2: K Cammy/Kyo/Rock, K Maki/Hibiki/Geese
MOTW: Grant, Rock, Kain, Terry
98: Terry/Shermie/Vice
02um: K' + random select (haven't really practiced it much)
NGBC: Mai/Shermie, Mudman/Mai
13: I plan to learn most if not all of the roster, but I think my ratio team will be Andy/King/Vice
As for what I do outside of fighting games: I play other games too :P. I love exploring the libraries of older consoles. I do get outdoors too, as I've recently taken up biking. And uh, I like a lot of different kinds of music, but if I had to name a favorite genre I guess it would be industrial. Any questions?
