The same article that brought me here, read this before I had the internet then joined a year or so later when I re-read the issue. Good times.

The interview download is down. :(

Awesome. I remember reading this article at an airport nearly a year before I actually signed up to the JA - Very interesting read!

I don't think there is anything wrong with scissors but I agree that there should have been more choice in styles back in the day!

Poke was never part of the JA. I agree that poke is an atrocity though - it, alongside the sometimes terrible hit detection and commonly random deflection/block/parrying mechanics, is something that ruined the game for me in the end.

Tell you the worst thing. Poking/Extensions. Hate them. Probably because I could never do them properly.

Anyway, good job on the scanage!

Yeah it's a nice article and good to read about the good old days. I don't think scissors were 'the worst of the JA' though, not even bad. I think the scissor is a very practical and useful combo. Unless you mean it would have been nice if we had taught additional styles more (red, blue, hybrid, staff, duals, etc) - I agree with that. But I still don't think scissors in itself are bad at all.

This article perfectly summarizes everything that was best (social aspects, classes) and also everything that was worst about this place (scissors, vlad). I still remember that the top right picture on the second page was the first ever screenshot teaser of the v3 map that we got. And yeah, I actually used to have a demo of the class that the journalist participated in, but deleted it for some reason. sadface
