Good shit. I live in Kwai Fong, which is 2 MTR stops from Mei Foo. Give any of us a call or shoot us a text whenever you’re down to hit up arcades. My mobile is: 9317 4948
I’m in Tuen Mun right now so I won’t be able to make it tonight, I’m leaving tomorrow morning.
It was nice meeting u guys, I’ma be back next year to look for a job and call HK my permanent home.
All good Jon. Nice getting assraped by your bison too. haha but yeah, nice bison. hit us up when you’re back! facebook?
Gonna be in Central tomorrow night for work until about 7 30. Anybody want to grab a bite and hit up that arcade on jubilee street?
Arriving at 6 a.m. Friday. I will be unpacking and probably bored by the afternoon. In which I will begin my exploring journey. Since I will most likely be without internet for the time being, someone please fast-track me places to go for the weekend. I hope to see everyone. Haha, a bit overzealous perhaps, but oh well. I will probably be wearing my Eternal Rival clothing (Yun lunge punch or Terry’s Busta Wolf designs) just because those are my clothes that I was planning to wear anyway.
Closet to you. Lai Chi Kok MTR Stop, in the Cheung Sha Wan Plaza: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cheung+sha+wan+plaza+hong+kong&hl=en&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=55.586984,79.013672&vpsrc=0&hnear=Cheung+Sha+Wan+Plaza,+833+Cheung+Sha+Wan+Rd,+Hong+Kong&t=m&z=17

Further South… Mong Kok Stop, there are two:

- Smart Game (2nd Floor): http://maps.google.com/maps?q=hung+cheung+building+mong+kong+hong+kong&hl=en&ll=22.316592,114.171885&spn=0.00803,0.009645&sll=22.316519,114.171677&sspn=0.002017,0.002411&vpsrc=0&hnear=Hung+Cheung+Bldg,+1-3+Yin+Chong+St,+Hong+Kong&t=m&z=17

WanChai Arcade, kinda in between the WanChai and Causeway Bay MTR, a little bit of a walk from each: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Lee+West+Commercial+Building+HOng+Kong&hl=en&ll=22.279119,114.179846&spn=0.008032,0.009645&sll=22.279005,114.179696&sspn=0.002018,0.002411&vpsrc=0&hnear=Lee+West+Commercial+Bldg,+375-379+Hennessy+Rd,+Hong+Kong&t=m&z=17

I may be missing some, but these are the places you’ll likely find us. Cheers
I read through the old posts a bit and there seems to a be a general consensus thatcompetition is good at Game Max (or popular). What’s a nice recommendation for the first place to hit up? I want to be able to not play against newbies for 2-3 hours.
Also, my name’s Tim. Nice to meet anyone who remembers my name.
Quality of competition at GameMax can be inconsistent but it’s the cleanest arcade in the area and has the best parts. There’s more competition at the WanChai arcade (2 2-machine setups instead of just 1) and a match is only 3HKD opposed to 4 but the sticks are crappy and the place smells like/is an ashtray. I certainly would not recommend playing there for extended periods of time, especially during the evening.
Where do you guys usually play, then? I’m down for arcades as a California native, but if it’s not the thing to do, I’m all ears
the best competition, imo, is at smart game in mong kok. good variety of players, all at least of decent to pro level. But go during the evenings after-work hours, that’s when they show up. Also, its clean, smoke-free, but games are $5 each, as opposed to the average of $4
Yea Smart Game is probably the best overall for competition, setup and environment, it’s just a bit less convenient to go to. Well Carzydog told me that everyone goes to Lai Chi Kok now instead of SG but that’s even further… haven’t really felt like making the trip to get blown up badly yet.
We just go to Gamemax over Wanchai because of the smoke.
Last post for a day or so. Do you guys play with the people at HKFighter? Are they SRK-worthy? Haha. Anyway, I’ll probably hit up one of you guys (whoever’s closest, I guess) – Naach, looking at you, for a plan and session. Looking forward to meeting the competition and to have people more experienced in the HK layout than me.
I don’t even know the top HK players (are there any? I think so) besides GameUppp and the soon-to-be HK resident, HumanBomb
Should probably be asking if the SRK people are HKFighter worthy instead -_-… but really the ‘srk bunch’ consists of like 5 people lol. I used to play with the HKFighter guys every Monday night but I got tired of the smoke and I was kinda just throwing my money away getting dominated so now I don’t really make a point to specifically go find those guys. As far as I know, it’s probably just Gameouttt and Humanbomb that have some recognition/fame outside of Asia (possibly Scrubydan and Carzydog?). There’s plenty of other very strong local players if you go looking.
ME
Look out for a dude who resembles a fatter version of Fuudo, lol. Very good player. I’ll hit u up next year when I’m back, Alex… still got your #. I’ll be back next Sept.
hahahaha fat fuudo, good shit. Word up
So I guess Blankss is probably in town… anyone wanna do like dinner + gamemax later tonight?
I’ll do dinner if you guys can wait til 9, but if not, im def down for game max
Actually on second thought are you down for SmartGame in MK, cwb too far for anthony
yeah thats cool
EDIT: on second thought, fuck anthony. why don’t you tell his lurking ass to post n shit rather than have you relay his messages. just sayin’
