Well, my dad for one. There's no photo I have of him but it amazes me, through all the shit he has been through how he's always willing to drop anything to help me out.
And my mum too. She's always managed to provide for me even working full time while being a single parent. You can't ever repay shit like that. Here is a photo of her and I.
Lots of things have had a huge impact on me in different ways. I suppose those 2 would be the 'biggest'. But I'd like to continue with some other things too I guess.
As far as online goes, ever since I started getting involved in a community on the internet in like 2000-2001, I always looked up to one particular guy. He's on twitter now, @ukyotachibana. He's definitely my original 'international' mentor in Street Fighter. Without some of the basic shit he has taught me I wouldn't even still be playing. I think he's also responsible for me not being an idiot on the internet too!
This game (3rd Strike) has had a pretty big impact on me, hah. I've been playing it at home since like 2003. I've made a lot of friends playing this, and spent a lot of money on it hah. Fuck I've bought a Dreamcast for it, bought the Japanese version for PS2 on the internet, bought a Swap Disc pack to play it on PS2, and built 2 joysticks just to play it. Shit, and I have a gold card at Timezone ($500) spent just on this game. I'll probably play it forever, and I intend to travel to Australia, the West Coast of the USA and Japan at some point to play it haha. And even after all this time, I STILL see new things I've never seen before. The skill cap on this game is soooooo high.
Anyway.
