Japan Arcade - Little Tokyo - Downtown Los Angeles

how far is this place from CSULA? can anyone help me with directions cuz i just moved here from san diego. :sweat:

Shoo,

Cool man, thanks.

Anyone know when it’s busy?

Is this place in the same plaza as Oiwake? We should rally some support for working 3s cuz I’d sure like to not have to drive to family or AI to get a few games in…

It’s not too far … but then again there’s usually traffic. For directions first post has address to arcade. www.calstatela.edu for university address. mapquest.com. c’mon now …

That’s Exactly what I’m looking for as well, some place closer to cut down on the drive. I’ll see if I can find out how often they have their parts fixed, and also if they can fix on the spot. Couple that in with event mode service, and this place should be ready to go for weekend tournies.

It’s a shame that they don’t open later though.

I went today and 1P Fierce is not working on 3s

I go every Sunday…
Mvc2 the characters are still not unlocked.
3s the 1p fierce is always going out and if its not that its the 2p forward or roundhouse.
XvSF is still there.
GG has its own little sit down megalo 50 cab.
Tekken 5 there are no ports to plug in your gaming pads and the kick are always out.

Most of the time it only gets crowded with Initial D heads when I go on Sundays.

Its in the shopping mall off of 3rd street and Alameda not in the plaza off of 2nd street that you are thinking about.

Is anyone going there tomorrow? Not that i’ll be there to play fighting games but just wondering if anyone will be there. Whenever i have gone, that place is dead. no one playing fighting games and me and a friend on guitar freaks and drummania. btw, do they still have just DM10th mix?

busiest times would be
late friday and midday saturday
other than that, it’s just a handful of people
that show up during the week

Heh, didn’t know this arcade had a thread.

I’m disappointed that the Marvel machine loses the secret characters.

the pron game is fun as hell :tup: lmao

edit: render is right it’s not slash sorry. .

For those of you who don’t know,

The arcade employee can validate your parking.

is this arcade in the little tokyo mall or where exactly is it? and are all marvel characters unlocked? and i miss the mochi… that shit was and is da bomb :lol: next time i stop by to get some mochi ill check out this arcade!

In the mall.

Edit: It’s on the 2nd floor.

2nd floor* and yes R I C is right they can validate your parking. marvel characters are not all unlocked n one stick acts dumb sometimes…

when r u guys gonna go… ill stop buy there if either u(plates) or u(R I C) go… i want some mochi.

Only games I play there are 3s and CFJ (if they still have it).
I haven’t been there in a long time, but if you guys wanna meet up, lemme know.
I prefer evenings on weekdays.

We can go Daikoku afterwards:

I went this past Saturday and tested the sticks on the 3S cab. 2P side stick feels kinda loose, but other than that, I actually liked the buttons.

R | C, lemme know if you’re gonna go. I’ll probably stop by and play a few games against you.

Dunno how you’re playing GG Slash, Plates. You mean the one all the way in the back corner? That’s the original GGXX.

I go there every once in a while on my lunch breaks to scrub it up with Ken on 3S. Playing broken outdated GG is also hilarious.

oh yeah! lmao that crack is frying my brain
ey man I know it’s outdated, but it is just kind of tempting not to play it when it is just there lol especially since all marvel characters are not unlocked :tear: and 3s gets boring without having anyone to play… so yeah
