Don's Arcade aka Astro City: Torrance/Carson Fridays 8pm-3am

Regional Matchmaking Pacific South

Really? Over at Industry, the older games are closer to $0.25-$0.50. The shinier, newer games were almost $1.

Either way, modern games are spoiled nowadays. They want to stay at home, go into training mode, play online, and rarely show up to an offline event. They feel like they have to “train” for offline events, never thinking that offline training is x10 more beneficial than just staying at home. You can’t level up in a vacuum. If you want to beat the community, you have to be a deep part of it.

The prices at the Lakewood R1 are off. The older games should be adjusted by the end of this week.

3323

Hopefully SFIV is considered an “old game” at this point. At Alex’s Arcade and Super Arcade, it’s only 25-50 cents.

For me, price isn’t really a problem. I’ve just been seeing a lot of people complain about the prices at this spot and I’d like to see the arcade do well. The amount of arcades dying out in SoCal makes me depressed. Hopefully someone dedicated can set up ranbats, tournaments, etc at Round 1 to keep people interested.

3324

You got inside knowledge of Round 1?

Hopefully that happens. $1 for CvS1 is dumb.

3325

Because Chun rhymes with Fun.

3326

Tonight we shall have a gathering NEW HOURS from 8pm-3am. Anyone and everyone is invited. The more the merrier. I’ll be going around to ask for the $5 E Fee so please have it ready when I ask. Anyone new who wishes to join us please text me at 310 344 9367.

Hope to see y’all tonight:)

Hey all, brand new to fighting games here. I’ve been meaning to go to local events. How active has Don’s been lately?

3328

It’s random every Friday night because I just post and ppl show. But I average between 12-25 a night depending who shows.

3329

Ahhh sounds good. I play some Ae :slight_smile:

3330

Sweet.

3331

Hey what’s up everyone, I just moved here from out of state about a month ago and was wondering where/when do you guys hold events?

3332

Where in So Cal do you live?

I just hold casuals in my garage with consoles and arcade machines every Friday between 8pm-3am. $5 per person.

3333

What’s your main games also?

3334

I’m in LA, I play AE but trying to get into other games as well.

3335

Sweet. Our group or the ppl that come here play a lot of SF4.

3336

Alright that’s good. Could I get the address or number?

3337

3338

Alright will do see you guys there

3339

Don made an appearance at Round 1! lol

Ya it was good seeing you Suga.

Round1 is a great place in a great location because its in a LA spot. It’s around Carson, Cerritos, Long Beach, etc. The SF4 community here should support it because it has a great setup. If there is regularly a big enough crowd playing SF4 it shouldn’t be too expensive. You’d be doing more waiting than playing. The more ppl play on a machine and gather around it, It shouldn’t be that bad.
