Japan Arcade (Little Tokyo, Downtown LA)

[rudeadly]

I took a friend in town from san jose over to AI, family arcade, and finally to japan arcade during his stay this past weekend. His favorite was Japan arcade because he could actually hang with the competition

But that stick is dumpy, the machine WILL eat your second token if you put it in too fast, and there are too many, well, initial D and para-para otaku than I can usually tolerate. Crowds, machine and competition aside, it’s a great local and there’s so much good food and beer in the area. Namely daiko and far bar

which machine are you talking about?
The owner was there the whole day today, and he told me he checked on all the fighting games. How come you didn’t tell him about it? Don’t worry, he doesn’t bite and he sure won’t yell at you hahaha

Lol I hope he doesn’t yell. The machine is the SF4 machine.

I have to apologize to dolfan305. I shouldn’t bag on you for claiming the machine was shitty.

Bear in mind, I never decided to travel over to Denjin or AI to play SF4 since I live in Koreatown which is somewhat far from both arcades.

However, over the last 4 days, I went to AI twice out of those 4 days and their quality of sticks blew my mind, along with the competition over there.

It’s a real shame that I live in a city with a shitload of people yet there are no decent arcades.

But yea, anyways for people in LA area. Don’t go to Family Arcade (75 cents a game, and I feel like I’m playing on a stick that can break at any second. Really effing soft and it’s bat top.)

Japan Arcade is “ok” but its still 50 cents a game… shrug

Thanks dolfan for showing me the light.
