Although I just joined the forums a couple days ago, I've been reading here for a few months, to get myself geared up for KOF XIII.
Anyways, I'm a Canadian player, born in Halifax (Nova Scotia, east coast), but now residing in Montreal for the last 8 years. I came up here for university, and stayed on for grad school.
I have more or less been into fighting games since the early 90s, when Street Fighter 2 first became available on SNES. I also played some of the original Fatal Fury early on, on Genesis.
I played a lot of the earlier Street Fighter/Capcom VS series (I stopped after Marvel 2), a lot of CvS and CvS2 and to a lesser extent KOF98 and 99.
In more recent times, I got back into gaming and started playing SFIV about a year or so ago, but quickly moved on to MK9, Tekken 6 and KOFXII. I mainly picked up XII because I knew that XIII would eventually be coming to consoles, and it was fun to pass the time for a while.
I've never really played any of the games competitively, as far as attending tournaments go, but I did play MK pretty seriously online up until online became totally dead (right around the time that Gears 3 was released), and I'm somewhat interested in playing KOFXIII online, once I get a better grasp of it. I wouldn't say that I'm a total newbie, but my inputs could use some (a lot) of sharpening.
Anyways, glad to be part of the community. My GT is the same as my name here on the forums (with nothing in caps)
