Man when you were young and a regular at Trax this shit didn’t apply at all. Ohh lawdy the antics, the singing of the Ice Tower stage song, the screaming and yelling. Those were good times.

PPG Baby! He comes back every now and again when I play Marvel.
But that’s when I was young as you said and thought I was hot shit. So it’s whatever now. I’m a lot more respectful and realize I suck at most fighters.

You can’t really stop someone from putting money into the machine.

My real problem is with people who go to arcades and don’t wear deodorant. :shake:

Throw all day. It’s in the game isn’t it?

I’m tempted to carry a can of Febreze or Axe with me, just so I can spray down the guys that don’t wear deodorant/never shower.

I think all the valid points got discussed here. Wait your turn, know who’s in front of you, if there’s an open seat at the cab, expect competition, etc. Oh, and taunting post-match is kinda stupid.

^ taunting, some take it serious and some dont. just dont taunt unless you really know the person :stuck_out_tongue:

I was just about to say something along these lines.

Busta and Stuart: Agreed, yeah. I do it against close buddies. Like, if it’s a match for shits and giggles, I’ll taunt post-match because we’re just dicking around. But I remember, specifically, there was this one guy a couple of nights ago at FFA… I tried to give him some helpful advice for his Akuma (like only sticking to SA1 and not picking SA2 or SA3); he replied to me like I was out of my mind and I didn’t know what I was thinking about. And then he tried to get all cocky, taunt post-match, doing stupid stuff.

It’s just what Mike Z told me before: I don’t need to taunt post-match against someone; I can always be the better man regardless.

Taunting can work to throw someone off their game though.

he was being sarcastic.

now what if you still lost? then you would have been looking like a real idiot :lol:

i dont mind kids playing on the machines so long as they remind me of myself when i was little. it didnt take me too many times to get my ass whooped before i got the concept of adapting but it was fun nonetheless standing on the stools or step ladders to reach the machine trying to get past fireballs aww i miss my youth.

The combined smell of bad BO and axe is one of the worse smells of all time

yeah man, don’t tell me how to play my character

Haha, if the guy was picking sa2 or 3, I imagine Duralath could have fucked him up with akuma

if you took a dump, wash your hands.

if you took a piss, wash your hands.

if you have the flu and coughed germs on your hands, wash your hands.

if you picked your nose, wash your hands.

if you have sweaty hands, wear latex gloves.

etc…

shut the fuck up howie mandel

No deal.

It really doesn’t matter on the way the game is being played. I think its just the physical engagement. Like when you step up to the cabinet as the challenger you should probably watch a few moments before issuing a challenge. For me, if the guy looks really new to the game I’ll probably let him play computer a little longer. If he’s cranking the coins to continue and stuff I’ll issue the challenge.
A friendly hi and a smile is probably enough. I’ve played games where I got completely wasted and games where I wasted the other person. In the end, it’s a ā€œgood gameā€ and ā€œgood game tooā€. You know. Not too different the etiquette in any public place.

Of course I was joking. Who the fuck doesn’t throw?

Oh, I know. A scrub.

Yeah weird. In norcal, we put coins up whenever. I’ve never heard anything said about that in an arcade.

#1 pro tip: if an arcade looks like a place you might get stabbed, stay the fuck away.
