FGC stories from years past

[Rokinlobster]

So there are quite a few FGC "OG'S" that post here. One of the best KTP episodes was with jamessmk telling about his adventures at the arcades.

So, other old school players, what are some cool/hype stories you have? Anything after 1999 or so is probably very well documented on the internet.
The history of TYM would be pretty cool to know, old rivalries from SF1 or 2, pre 3D MK games, I know there are some juicy stories and matches that have had 0 coverage so lets hear about it!

What is "The Valle custom combo"?

That's the glitch in SF Alpha 2 in which doing a low attack as a custom combo starter was unblockable for god knows whatever reason. Named such because Valle discovered it.

I watched the video where he did it against Choi, but I don't know enough about the game to tell what it looks like or anything.

Also, now that Tom Brady has returned, you should throw something in here, I would enjoy it. Id especially like to here about The House of Goons.

Bumping this thread to ask for a history of Test Your Might. With all of the new members around Im sure some of them would find it interesting, as would I.
