Anime Expo 2009 - Four SF4 machines, Blazblue, etc. (American cabs/sticks)

Anime Expo’s right around the corner, so who’s going? And holy shit there are going to be so many people playing SF4 it might not even be worth it to play.

As for the SF4 setup, scottind says there will be four machines. If it’s like the setup at Fanime, then all four machines should be connected(it’s like I’m really in Japan!) and the cab, sticks, buttons should be American. Here’s a pic of one of the SF4 cabs on the very right(thanks Shingin). http://twitpic.com/8sz65

The list of games at the arcade…

It’s gonna be nice to see some CvS2 again =D

See you guys there!

i should hopefullly be there. been going since 04. arcade closes at 12 midnight now though which totally sucks that its not 24/7 anymore

nice; i usually go to AX and Comic Con

WHAT seriously?! Damn that blows…

I’ll be at AX.

Get hype.

Do you have to have a pass to get into the arcade? They didn’t require it last year.

I’m gonna think no badge necessary if it’s in the same region. Console room might require it though.

actually last year they did require it. They started half-ass enforcing it on one of the days half the time, and they stopped sanchez and lenin at the door. We had to pull some E3-style badge swapping shenanigans to get them in.

bullshit yeah i know, but its out of their control. ax management is seriously stupid this year, mismanagement of funds, nokia theater, crappy musical guests, crappy hotels, and arcade closing at midnight. are all negative strikes for this years show. I’m honestly only interested in going to 1 panel the entire con, and probably going 2 out of 4 days.

the arcade ops however, are all the same and have been the same every year, pretty good, always a good selection of fighters. So provided that, 1- you have a badge, or can get past the door (its 90% of the time its not guarded), 2- and its BEFORE midnight, the arcade will be awesome.

btw i just heard from the harrison- the ax arcade will have 4 machines.

Going

EDIT: The console room will also have Street Fighter 4 and Blazblue, and will open past midnight. But it’s in the Westin Bonaventure

Morning Musume is not crappy T_T

FUCK YES cross slave(whatever) play!

Going to this, hope to play some of you guys in Sf4 or Third Strike.

be there for a 1day. spending most of my time at RSTD the whole weekend. AX this year is geh…so fuck buying a badge. Im spending my time partying w/ Duralath!!!

Were you at the Holiday Inn on Friday/Saturday night last year…?

i expected Perfume, and we ended up with morning musume and “the guy who did the music for guilty gear”

yawn

Perfume would have been way too good.

Yea you’re right, fuck morning musume…

hi scottind <3

Part of me wonders if that black guy in cornrows and a chinese dress is going to be playing 3rd strike again…

I’ll be playing CvS2 and 3rd Strike mostly. Hopefully they have some KOF setups there as well.

Ya they had badge checking security last year. Sucked. Also this year at the hotels you have to have a wrist band showing you stay at the hotel or if you get checked on you get kicked out.

i’ll be there
