Guys, did I meet a time traveller?
Back in the 2000s, there were lots of internet cafés in my city, and I used to go to one because I didn't have a PC.
The one I used to go to had PCs with MAME, a bunch of arcade games.
Well, one day, a totally normal guy around 20-25 years old sat down next to me. I didn't pay much attention to him; I was playing Joe & Mac that day, I think.
Then I saw that he started playing SF2. I think the game had no sound.
That's when I glanced at his screen and saw that he was playing with Ryu on Guile's stage, but there was no other character.
Then I saw that Guile was in the back and got on the plane and left.
I asked him how he did that and he said, ‘He just flew away.’ He turned off the computer (in a bad way, since in those days you had to wait for a message to appear) and left the cybercafé. I told my friends about this several times, but obviously they didn't believe me, and neither did I, because I thought it was just a hack or something.
Well, yesterday YouTube's algorithm recommended a video of an animation made with sprites from the game that shows exactly that happening in the same way I remember it. I don't want to post the video because you'd think I'm trying to promote the channel, but it's a video with 600k views from five years ago.
How is this possible? Was what I saw really a video? It's hard for me to remember if he chose the character and all that, because the video starts right at the beginning of the fight, but how is it possible that I saw a video from 2020 in 2000? And if he was a time traveller, why would he do something so like that to just troll a kid?

If it was a time traveller, why didn't they prevent 9/11 and Obama?

>>730644709
Glad you remember me kid, the name's Jimmy C, the next time we meet, you will find me in a black mercedes with the license plate "Utopia"
>>
Test. Have a free bump
>>
>>730644709
Just link the video if you want a real opinion.
This whole not linking anything because someone might make money and money=evil is retarded and stunts discussion.
>>
>>730644709
You sure it wasn't just an old video that got reuploaded? That seems like something that would be made in the 2000s.

Maybe it's some common dream or something.
>>
>>730647618
it wasn't a dream because i talked to one of my friends the same afternoon
>>
>>730648825
It was a dream too.
>>
>>730649257
it wasn't, because my friend told that to a new kid months later.
>>
>>730647618
stop gaslighting OP, the video may be old and the guy next to OP just played the video on the computer to troll people around him
>>
>>730645504
>>730645102
since OP is scary, I will link the video, here:

>Full version
Maybe op saw an unfinished older version of this uploaded on a flash site or something
>>
>>730651734
it isn't an unfinished version and clearly the channel is not for reuploads
>>
>>730651734
yeah, shown to him by a fellow internet cafe user
>>
>>730652084
well less unfinished and more clipped you know? even OP said the vid isnt a reupload so i am stumped :/
>>

>And if he was a time traveller, why would he do something so like that to just troll a kid?
When you're a time traveller, things tend to be pretty bleak since nothing you do will affect the future or cause time paradoxes. So, we do this kind of shit for a cheap laugh.
>>
>>730644709
>I told my friends about this several times
so just find them and ask them whether you really told them about it
otherwise it's a false memory
>>
>>730644709
I think you are telling stories, young man.

Maybe it was mugen
>>
>>730644709
ggs that was me
>>
>>730655813
mugen is another possiblity did it not release in the late 90s?
>>
>>730656492
july 1999
mugen proper didn't surface until the mid 2000s
>>
>>730644709
It was probably a flash animation or the video you just saw was a reupload from another video site (there were a bunch that ultimately failed in the 2000s)

around 1996 I'd pick up a small plane that you could disassemble and pretend that the pilot crashed and had to go around the garden finding the parts to reassemble his plane to be able to go home
>>
>>730658024
I saw the video in the year 2000, animations like these weren't common until 2002.

>>730644709
Anon, a "rumor" or "myth" about guile leaving the stage on that plane has been around since SF2 itself hit the arcades for the first time back in 1991, the reason you "remember" it is cause it's a common myth about the game everyone talked about, so it spreaded and you likely heard about it, and then that video recreated for the fun of it.

Your specific memory of it is likely just mandela effect or whatever.
>>
These everyone plays dumb types of threads are so boring since 90% of the catalog is like this. It was fun when it was every now and then
>>
>>730644709
>Was what I saw really a video?
Yes, it's possible. On two occasions (can go into detail if needed), I had words coming from my subconscious that I thought were just riffs on an earworm or something random. Turns out they were lyrics from real commercials or songs, but I couldn't remember.
>>
>>730659436
do you have screenies of people discussing the rumour on old vidya forums?
>>
>>730659583
This. Fuck ed edd n eddy online threads as well.
>>
>>730653648
Dilate sub-human you ruined this board with your paranoia
>>
>>730644709
I know exactly what video you're talking about. that's crazy. maybe it was some kind of mugen thing?
