Hey, the names Shaun, and I've been a gamer since 1990 when I got an NES for my 4th birthday. I created the name Zed596 back in '95 with my 1st computer, Zed after Lord Zed from Power Rangers, and 596 just had a nice ring to it ;p I got into fighting games in '93 with Street Fighter II on SNES and it's been my favorite genre ever since.
Outside of games I'm a huge action movie and I watched lots of martial art movies with my Dad ever since I was 6, that's why I enjoy fighting games so much ;) I have science degree IRL and that translates well into how I play fighters. I break them down, analyze all the pieces, then let the ideas flow one after another as I begin combo creation. I use to draw a lot when I was younger, but I feel like that creativity was translated to fighting games.
I love creating combos and executing them, I like it far more than actually fighting someone, that's why 80-90% of my playtime in a game is training mode!
