K4tz: Before i joined the Vine, i was reading a few threads. One of them was a thread that he made. it was the " Spider-man / cap vs wolverine/ cyke. Back then i was a huuuuge spidey fanboy and when i saw K4tz debating with Nobody that spidey would lose to Logan, i hated him....lol, the reason was that my classmates( Logan fanboys, even though they don't read comics ) they believed that Logan( their favorite ) would beat spidey ( my favorite ). So, when i saw people saying that Logan would beat Pete, i was pretty angry. But when i joined the vine, i have realized how amazing debater, K4tz is and that he is pretty cool. Erik: Damn, at first i thought i was debating with Vance...lol It seems that we didn't have a great start but i knew that you were a cool guy. Morpheus: I was really impressed by Morph, but after i met him better, i have realized that he is million times better than i used to think. Power Nexus, Matezoide, Vance: These were guys that i respected from the beginning. Btw, Nexus, you are exaggerating about my skills. Well it's kinda strange. When i joined the vine, i was acting like a fanboy/ troll, but everyone were friendly at me. This is something that i didn't notice happening when other trolls were joining the vine. LOL. I was also new then, too. I thought Cyc was the biggest deciding factor, though.

Vance: Am I the only one whose first impression of Vance did not involve him being a troll? <_< Did I miss something? Honestly, what I thought of Vance was that he was just alright. I honestly never had too many serious conversations with him originally; I only read a posts of his. So I never had a very high or low opinion of him. I thought he was somewhat aggressive in a debate but not necessarily in a bad way. I did though think that he absolutely hated DC. Static: Static is quite simply one of the best debaters I ever talked to on the Vine. I always enjoyed debating him. Static and I have had multiple debates. Honestly, they were good for me because he tended to correct me in areas I was wrong in. The very first thing I noticed while debating Static is that he knows how to analyze what people say and scans they post. He knows how to dissect their arguments and address the accurate portions and correct the inaccurate portions. Static's debating style is one of the main reasons I respected him. Spidey: I just thought he was a nice guy who was also a decent debater, as well as a fellow SpiderMan fan. Morpheus: My impression of Morpheus was largely hearsay until I actually had a discussion with him. I have talked with Morpheus plenty of times but actually have not had as many debates with him as I would like (had a few though). So I basically respected him off the bat simply because he had such a great reputation. I have come to respect him off my experience with him now though as a debater and just a good conversationalist. Crom: Crom and I have been talking with one another since both of us were noobs on the Vine. My first impression of him was good as our original discussion was insightful. I have always known Crom just to be good for intelligent conversation. Beatboks: Sadly, when I first saw Beatboks, there were several new fanboys joining the Vine every day, and I thought he was one of them. I was basically looking for any mistake he might make, and on one of his original posts in the battle forums, I saw a few things I disagreed with and decided to just write him off as a new fanboy. That never lasted very long though. I have the utmost respect for him now though. He is very knowledgeable in several areas. Sexy Merc: When I saw his user name, I just thought he was self-obsessed. And I was right. ;D If I remember correctly, I did also get that Deadpool fanboy impression at first. To be honest though, I saw his username without actually having a conversation with him; so I really knew nothing about him. Merc is cool though. JediXMan: When I first saw JediXMan, I had been dealing with Revan fanboys on several threads. So when I saw his username had Jedi in it, I thought he was another Revan fanboy. He did defend some of Revan's abilities in some threads, but he never gave him credit where none was due. When I noticed he actually knew what he was talking about, I was happy there was someone else on the Vine who was actually knowledgeable in EU Star Wars. k4tz: I just thought he had the weirdest username I ever saw. Never thought anything too cynical about him. Just that he had a strange username. He quickly showed heavy street leveler knowledge though, which resulted in my respect for him. Decoy: Not much really. My impression was simply a somewhat nonchalant, laid back user. Courtney: She was one person I really enjoyed talking to. This had to do with the fact that she was the battle forum vigilante mod, loved pwning trolls, and was just an all-around nice person. No love?

Strafe Prower: Sorry. Strafe: The original impression I got was just that he was a good, respectful debater, which was true. So, this is one of those rare occasions where my original impression is actually correct.

I remember I was getting so upset with K4tz in the Sabretooth Vs. Beast thread. I was upset because I was arguing against K4tz and my douche of a friend who doesn't know anything about comics who started an account. K4tz kept his head cool when I was a Noob and was getting furious.

I was getting upset because I though Hank's speed would be the highest advantage and Sabretooth couldn't keep up. Oh, the good old days.

I also remember my very first thread I was apart of. Actually, it was the reason I saw CV. It was Barry Allen vs. Hal Jordan. It was a HUGE fight between me and AtPhantom. Not knowing who he was or anything we got into a fight about which Flash was the fastest. Me being ignorant, I was arguing to the core that Barry was the fastest solely due to the fact he "created" the speed force. Silly me. Once again, I was caught Trolling and he was keeping a cool head. Very humbling.

Man, you guys are lucky. I don't remember nothin'. Come t'think of it, I don't have a lasting impression of any a' you guys. And now, I think I know why. I never talked. I make posts, then leave. Yeah, that's right. A'ight, I'm cool wit' that.
Looking back, I think there were two people who've made a lasting impression on me. Crom for knowin' somethin' somethin' about Top Cow, and Matezoide from those create-a-hero tournaments, which reminds me, when we gonna set one a' those up? Preferably during a time when we're all on holiday.

Hmm, I remember being best buddies with strafe as long as I can remember, I've always had his back in debates.
Same with Vance, but alot of people thought I was riding him, I just agreed with 99% of everything he's ever said.

I remember thinking sloth was cool from the get go. I admired his vast knowledge from street level all the way up to cosmics, and even abstracts. He was laid-back and fun to talk to. I liked him instantly. He's one of my top 5 Viners ever.
Vance's style was a double-edged knife. Very aggressive, which takes some used to, yet the man was confident and knew what he was talking about, and you got to respect that. He's good people, one of the best I met in CV.
Static was similar, but even more intimidating because what he lacked in aggressiveness he made up by structuring his arguments in a more linear way. Vance only does that when he wants to end an opponent, and cover up any angle. Much like sloth, Static knew everything there is to know from street level to high-tier characters. I rarely debated him, but we were aware of one another, and slowly we build up a friendship. He's a straight arrow.
Sonatine...I don't recall much aside from the fact that we had a debate in Mar-Vell vs Captain Marvel, despite being on the same side. We ended up with mutual appreciation for each other's skills and we've been good friends ever since.
I had a good start with Zoom, whom I thought was as cool as they come. Knowledgeable, edgy, and straight to the point. And very funny when he wanted. I was following his arguments in Zoom vs Silver Surfer, and despite being a fan of the Surfer, I was convinced Zoom would win, just by reading his posts, so I made a post based on what I knew for the Surfer and the information Zoom provided, basically co-signing Zoom's win. Zoom (the Viner) was pleased to see someone was actually paying attention instead of randomly posting "SS FTW" so we respected each other from the get go.
Not much to say about K4tz, the man was an instant favourite due to his gauntlet threads, which I loved. Level-headed and knowledeable, he was open to questions and civil debates, which I found refreshing since, even back in the day, the Vine's battles section was like Far West.

No offense to Erik, but the first time I saw him on CV, and read his posts, I thought he was trying too hard to become a mod.
