Downtown Toronto-Dedicated Fighter Arcade

[Sacojericho]

a ranking system for the weekend tournaments would be nice, but sounds too complicated

[Gerjay]

I’d be there more than you can imagine. But at the worst times. I have classes at 9 am every day, and some days I have breaks until 4-5 pm. So unless I spend all that time studying, its gonna have to be spent doing something else.

MAHVEL.

HF on XBL arcade shouldn’t be bothered with. It’s a poor port. The game runs way faster than it should. It’s like saying CCC2 should be used for ST.

I would like to see HF arcade also.

[nGuman]

I know where my weekends will be spent now. If this actually happens

[System_1]

1-Yes, definitely, I’ve been looking for an arcade to drop by after work and days off
2-3-4 days a week
3-Yes, any day, just give me ample notice, at least 2 weeks to work out my schedule with my Head Office
4-SF4
5-Hori/Sanwa

[Tsuroka]

This sounds like an awesome idea and i’d be there ALL The time
1- YES YES YES OH GOD YES!!! (ya thats right, you heard me, bask in the glory)
2- 4-5 days a week
3- yes any day any time any notice
4- sf4
5- sanwa

[Singh31]

1- Would probably try and make it down on Fri-Mon (Go Go Sick Uni Timetable)
2-how often do you think you would? (Once maybe twice a month)
3-Interested in tourneys? if so, what day would you prefer? (Yes, Weekend)
4-Your one nominated game you want to see there (even if it wasn’t released for console I might be able to make it happen depending on costs) SF4/Tekken
5-What type of Joysticks & buttons do you want on the cabinet (Sanwa, Happ etc.) Sanwa.

[System_1]

about Tekken6…how many days earlier than release are we talking here?
is it xbox or ps3 version?

and for Tekken i can guarantee 4-5 people as regulars to start off when u open it

[Tofu_Warrior]

1- Hell yeah!
2 - With school and everything, probably once a week.
3 - Yes, and weekends.
4 - BlazBlue; a lot of people have been asking for it, it should have a dedicated cab.
5 - Sanwa please.

I’m really hype for this.

Careful with making a dedicated KOF setup. Those games often suck and they come and go.

You’d be better to ask the KOF people whoever they may be about what KOF games to put in. Your best bet would probably be KOF 98, 2001 or Garou.

Also I would like HF/ST/HDR if possible. Preferably HDR.

I’m too far to attend regularly but I would show up for tourneys.

Good shit on setting this up btw.

Please make sure that there’s adequate ventilation for the summer months… and in the winter months, some drainage mats at the entrance would be nice. Sucks to not be able to put your stuff down because the floor’s wet and shitty.

[System_1]

id be down for this for sure…back in the day i use to hit up funland and york lanes but now since those are gone…pmall and love ghetty are my only options lol and its kind of a mission goin there from north york

Ok, took a look at the place again today, smaller than I thought. I believe I can fit up to 12 cabinets so up to 24 players. I think that is big enough to start. The layout in the place is a bit weird, but I cant complain as you guys love the location. Keep in mind this estimate of 12 cabinets is just an estimate, I am still waiting for Autocad to finish updating so I can figure it out exactly. If we have a full house (ie 24 players) then there will be no room for others to hang out, except for outside. But, if it does ever get to that point, I’m sure the profit will allow for rental of more space.

As for real boards I am trying to piece together a 3rd strike board, I have a cartridge and motherboard in the mail, I know a guy who has the cd drive, I just need to disc and hopefully the board doesn’t need to be revived. If anyone knows someone who as a full working setup, let me know! or even parts. they are getting stupid rare to find. I do have an SNK vs Capcom board, let me know if you guys want that. As for SSF2 Turbo, I will look into it, anyone else interested in it?

As much as I would love to call it a variation of Funland, I don’t think that is a good idea as I want to stray from the “arcade” name. Here is my pitch; This is a professional place for people (possibly members only) to come practice, that includes individuals and regional and personal teams.

Tekken 6 will definitely be there when its released, I can pull some strings and try and get it a couple of days before release ;).

I understand a lot of the customer base will be people who come in between classes and on lunch breaks. That’s why I was thinking of the daily fee. I will try my best to do the whole monthly thing but don’t break my balls if it seems expensive, remember I need to cover costs. What do you guys think is reasonable for a monthly pass? ie, what would you pay/can afford to pay?

I would love to have some bubble tea and a pub like atmosphere, but at the moment there simply isn’t space for that. As I stated before, I am trying to grow this community, if it does, there is no reason it cant expand. I will be putting 100 percent of profits into expansion till I am satisfied with the facilities. I will definitely have some chips and pop type thing, MAYBE some pizza so you guys can come by and have your lunch there. The problem with bubble tea is that requires extra plumbing. It might be possible if we can decide on only a few flavors and I have them pre-prepared, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.

as for any more requests, please keep in mind that space is VERY limited, so Foosball and billiards tables will have to remain in your imagination… for now.

On a side note, I need someone hardcore to make sure input lag is non-existent. Has to be someone seriously hardcore so they would be able to notice, preferably in the Brampton area but if not that’s fine. I don’t really have a place which would be convenient to do this at the moment so I can bring the screen by plus any hardware if needed (360/fightstick). Please contact me VIA PM if your interested. Note that your hardcore-ness will need to be verified by other members on the forum.

So as for games it looks like there will always be one dedicated machine for SF4, SF Third Strike, Tekken 6, and KOFXII. Meaning those games will always be running, There will be other machines for the variable games.

If you guys can get a list going of who is 100 percent going to be able to make it out that would be great.

you give me free entry and I will give serious 3s lessons

Edit: only if people are willing to learn it seriously

[Mr.Trite]

Food/drink shouldnt be too much of an issue if it adds too much to the cost to provide it since there are so many options for food/drink at that location

[Gillette]

I’d be sure to come by whenever I’m in Toronto, sounds great since I’ve heard alot of arcades there have been dying out.

If you are going to put in KOF setups, they gotta be KOF 98 Ultimate match and/or kof 2002 ultimate match and or kof11. 12 hasn’t really taken off… though that may change.

[Buddah]

1-would you attend? YES
2-how often do you think you would? 24/7
3-Interested in tourneys? if so, what day would you prefer? YES any day of the week
4-Your one nominated game you want to see there (even if it wasn’t released for console I might be able to make it happen depending on costs) Xmen Vs Street Fighter
5-What type of Joysticks & buttons do you want on the cabinet (Sanwa, Happ etc.) Doesnt matter as long as we can play on it fine

[nGuman]

1-Fuck yeah why not
2-I would try to make it every weekend/friday night/holiday/march break/summer break/
3-Traditionally tourneys are on Sat/Sun so those days are good
4-Super Turbo HD remix/SF4/Marvel/Tetris Grandmaster 3 Terror Instinct
5-Sanwa/Seimitsu/iL

[jeenyus1]

OP if you’re fearless, why don’t you set up a 2 player MAME setup too.
