Hong Kong SF4 players Report hereeee

Excuse me for going off topic, but do you guys know of any stores in HK that sell new or used sticks? I’m on a hunt for the good old VSHG.

oof… I don’t really know any especially good places, just the usual Wanchai 188 and that upstairs place in Mong Kok near SmartGame… can’t remember the name atm -.- Mostly just new sticks though… I think there’s 1 store in Wanchai 188 that has a crap load of retro controllers so MAYBE that’s a possibility…

What’s up HK community, just touched down a few weeks ago and have been playing a few rounds at mk gamezone and cwb gamemax, but not to much competitions… Who’s been gathering where nowadays??

Hello, I know this is about SF but I was wondering is there a marvel community in HK? Or is HK just arcades filled with SF games?

Thank you.

hey guys i’ll be in hong kong until mid-august and am looking to get some good practice in

where do SRKers usually meet in HK? it would be nice to run some games

Hey there, actually things seem pretty slow ever since SFxT came out. I guess everyone took a Street Fighter break then lost a bit of interest. I’ve noticed the arcades are frequently empty or have weak players though you’ll probably still find ok competition during Fri-Sat evenings at American Pool in Hung Hom or SmartGame in MK.

Well there’s only like 3 of us that regularly meet up and we used to just go to Gamemax in cwb but it’s been completely free there lately if not just empty. Things slowed down like crazy after SFxT released.

I’ve seen like 2 arcades with MvC2 and 1 with CvS2 but guaranteed to have zero competent players on those machines. Maybe there’s some secret Marvel community I don’t know about, maybe hkfighter’s forum has a marvel section but since I can’t really read Chinese I dunno. HK arcades are typically KoF and Tekken heavy with SF4 next and a little bit of Third Strike here and there. Tragically there’s like no ST machines :confused:

Hey guys,

been playing SC5 still but slowly playing SF4 again lately back at Central… the place is still as crowded as usual during lunch time and right after work time… worth visiting

How many cabinets are at smartgame? I’ve only been to gamezone at MK. Is smartgame on Soy Street?

Anyone here play at Gamezone @ MK? I drop by there almost everyday…using Blanka/Boxer.

I guess that now that I’m employed again, it’s time for me to show up on this thread again. I’m back working in Wan Chai and will probably hit up smoke city and gamemax after work most days. If anybody wants to join let me know via whatsapp/text, 9317 4948.

Okay just went to hung hom American Pool last night. Hands down the best controls in all of Hong Kong, throwing 1-frame links like never before. If it isn’t so far from the MTR line I’d hit that spot daily…

I also went around Tsuen Wan yesterday, but there’s no scene there, and worse no 2012 -_-"
Same with Lai Chi Kok, no 2012 =\

Also where are all the 3rd strike cabs??? I was playing that shit everywhere when I was in HK two years ago… Can’t believe I can’t find one cab… Also could not believe they shut down the arcade in the mall at Kwai Fon…! As if we need more electronics store…

I’m gonna try Central tomorrow, anyone know if they have 2012?

There is 1 set of 3S cabs in prince edward

Played some decent players using Blanka/Sim at Causeway Bay Gamemax tonight.

Gonna be in HK from June 9th-14th and 17th-21 so hoping to go to the arcades during my free time to play :slight_smile:

what general area are you staying in? hopefully I’ll be free at some point

Staying in Causeway Bay. I went to the arcade in the basement of Mong Kok today but they only have 2011 lol :. Then I went to Gamemax Causeway Bay and played a bunch of matches. I’ll probably just stick to that one for now.

Whoah I just went to the arcade in Central today. Damn there were a bunch of good players there. Huge variety too. Played an Ibuki, an Adon, a Ryu, a Cody, a Sakura, an Akuma, a Sagat, a Rose/Chun Li, a Juri and a Dhalsim/T.Hawk. GGs to everyone I played (I doubt they post here though lol)

I’ll probably go back again soon.

Yea not likely that they know this forum exists lol… Central does get a decent crowd still occasionally. I see you’re gone after the 14th for a while… arcade tmr night?

I’m actually going to Singapore tomorrow night for a couple days lol. I’m going to try really hard to go to Central again when I get back to HK on the 17th.

ahh ic, well feel free to send a text/whatsapp 93001550 when you go, maybe I can get Naach too
