Hi, so I’ve been playing Marvel since July, and I ain’t THAT bad. I know my shit. But since I don’t have a lot of funds, I’ve never looked into tourneys or teh arcade scene except for where I live, which is in Los Angeles.
Recently I got accepted to UC Berk, so I’m gonna be moving up there. Can someone give me a quick rundown of the arcade scene up there? Is there a good arcade specifically at Cal? Are there ones nearby? How far away? What are the big arcades in the area, and how far away are they? Basically, where is my new arcade home going to be. Thanks a lot.
I know some dudes will be left, but yeah, most of us are moving on. And besides, non-students in the area come by sometimes too, and they’re probably not going anywhere. It’ll still be decent, just probably not as good.
Where do you live in LA? Which arcade do you go to down there? I’m from the area too.
I’m in Beverly Hills. I go to the Westwood arcade. I should be going to UCLA, but it’s sort of far to walk, so me and my homies just hang out at the Westwood one.
At least there’ll be more comp up in Berkeley than I have right now at Westwood.
SVGL = Sunnyvale Golfland = good place to get your ass handed to you on a shiny silver platter by some of the best in NorCal. The comp is pretty good on Tue/Fri, sometimes Sat.
San Jose State University is relatively easy to get to. Comp is good during the day, kinda shitty at night (most people go to SVGL, San Jose Golfland, or Milpitas Golfland during the night time).
There’s hella other places to play, just not worth the drive unless there’s a tournament or someone pro is gonna show up.
Pick up CVS2 and 3rd Strike, it’ll give you something to do while you wait your turn, if you go to SVGL.
Stay away from Chunk…he’s scary…like the boogeyman. Korngo will hype you up with his M.C. skills, and Crizzle will perfect your ass home. Stay away from Albert too, he’s good, but you just won’t want to be near him. :badboy:
