Much fun in Guilty…and 3s as always.
Post up if anything is going down I’d like to stop by for some AC (:
Did I leave a pair of keys there?
did not see any. any progress with stuff?
You did leave a poke-ball there now I own snorelax. Man those sessions were gg like I played CVS2 a couple of time there and shit was fun. Jeremy I told you the caps would win. I felt like a prophet when you told me they came back and won. Bobby can’t wait for the ranking battles man time to level my shit up.
hope you ddin’t get in too much trouble, also hope you can make it out on the 24th
Last night was real fun. GGs to everyone. Pat trying to run a “serious” Nakoruru is hilarious. Didn’t get enough GG in but I figure it’s time to really learn Order Sol.
I play Order-Sol…play someone more gimmicky
nah I like Order sol. Along with Ky. But I’m not so much of a fan of Ky’s moveset after X/X2. Then there’s May.
Another Sol/HOS. :x Anywho, I had a lot of fun last night. Thanks for letting me over and GG’s to everyone. Please post whenever you’re doing this. It’s great for me to have somewhere else to play people since getting rides to Xanadu is like pulling teeth for me.
Gonna have to wait 3 weeks…
PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
3s/GGAC/TVC… ugh.
serious nak is…
serious
oh nice, GGXX working, have to be there next time a friday or saturday is free at your place
Yeah, Sophia = Tops (notice the tops-game URL?). They’re normally very reliable so it’s strange you haven’t gotten a message yet. Unfortunately, they’re the only major ones I know of that will ship to the US. Anyway, for some of the other major JP arcade shops that sell online (but didn’t ship directly to the US last I checked), a good list can be found here a little ways down here: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=3840
You’ll have to get a proxy buyer/bidder to buy from them though (I normally use Celga), which will rack up additional fees. But I’m sure they have all the Cave shooters. Also, I’ve bought a few PCBs off Yahoo Auctions Japan (again, using proxies). I’d imagine you’ve used Yahoo JP before but in case you haven’t these add a lot of fees so I only resort to them for a few hard to find boards.
In many cases, I just email the Hong Kong sellers and they get back ASAP. The 3 good ones I’ve used are Excellent (ECL@excellentcom.net), Legend (legendcompany@gmail.com), and Welink (jacky@welink.cc). Just get on their subscriber’s list and/or ask if they can get that item and for how much. It’s like Tops in this case where they understand English and ship to the US except they have less supply but better prices (the Cave games are big hits so I’m pretty sure they have or can find all of them for you; since Welink and Legend are newer, they’ll likely go the extra mile for you if they can).
Sometimes, they get some interesting titles too: I got all the PGM games I wanted (Knights of Valour Super Heroes, Knights of Valour 2 Nine Dragons, etc.) through Legend and got some cult hits like Night Slashers, Boogie Wings, and the Sailor Moon beat-em-up from Welink. But make sure you confirm that the games you want are tested working and original (non-bootleg). They’re honest and upfront about original PCBs but you may not notice subtle descriptors like “copy” or an asterisk used to denote that. There’s another HK store you may hear about Cosmicco but I haven’t used them and heard bad stories about them not being able to differentiate between real and bootleg.
Of course, there are always good PCB deals on Neo-Geo and Shmups if you’re patient. And even if you’re not patient, Cave games are amongst the easiest to get if you have the wallet for them.
I got my Ibara Kuro from excellentcom, and I have no idea what’s going on with sophia/tops.
I’ve done yahoo japan before, but most the stuff I look for is pretty common so I try to avoid the extra hassle and fees with proxy people.
I really wish they’d get back to me so I can get my puzzle fighter and vampire savior.
If you buy Chaos Breaker, you’ll make 4r5s dream come true.
Guys, I had a blast last night. I didnt get to hop on to GG at all, but there was more than enough there to keep me occupied. Bobby, you got a great set up man, and just wanted to say again, thanks for having me over. Bummer about today, but to be honest, I did kind of expect it. Anyways, I was real happy I got to come out, play some video games, eat some McD’s, and meet new friends. Looking forward to doing it again!
PS: TvC looked awesome. Definitely going to have to get in on that.
For those interested, they got it down in VA Beach. heres the live stream:
And mine. Chaos Breaker looks awesome.
