Sticking with the old school theme, awhile back Snake posted some scans from the old Tips & Tricks magazine which ran a monthly column recapping tournament results and other things in the Street Fighter community.
You'll see Seth Killian's name come up a few times along with other notables like Alex Valle, John Choi, Sanford Kelly and many other recognizable players.
A few readers have asked why these guys are so popular, and you can see from these scans that most of the well known competitors have been going at it for a long time.
Checking over the images, you'll see a guy you may recognize by the name of Justin Wong. He had
somewhat humbler beginnings taking top honors in many Marvel vs. Capcom 2 tournaments, the first article pointing out that he was just 15-years-old at the time. Now he has become probably the most well known Street Fighter player in America.
