The Street Fighter cabinet was in there like that when we took over the arcade. We want to update the KoF13 cabinet just we’ll need to buy a monitor and build a set-up. Usually we’ve seen little to no revenue when it comes to KoF games, that’s why we don’t take it very seriously. We understand that KoF13 can be different though, and that’s why we put it in a nice cabinet at FFA, but it will take time to make KoF13 better at Japan Arcade. Right now it seems to be the best money making game in Japan Arcade, so we are taking it seriously. I don’t know how long it can take to modify the cabinet, but I’ll let the owner know about this so we can see about making a cab for an HDTV.
When I’m at the arcade, I’ll talk to people and ask them about whether or not the prefer Am or Jp sticks. Posts from regular KoF13 players would help, too. As far as I know, KoF players absolutely prefer American sticks over Japanese because they are used to playing on Neo Geo cabinets and they play a lot of KoF2002 (which is Am stick dominant). I get people at FFA asking if we’ll ever switch the game from Japanese sticks to American because that’s what they would prefer.
Thank you for your response, I perfectly understand where you are coming from when it comes to revenue. About the sticks you are right up to KOF 2002 everybody preferred Am sticks however nowdays everybody is jumping on the Jp sticks vanwagon I will let them know to say something when you asked unfortunately none of them post here on SRK but I’ll let know that when you asked them to say what they preferred and maybe to mention that they are friends of mine.

hey, i was just at JA last week thursday, and the DDR extreme pad is still broken. The P1 side Right Arrow doesnt read at all.
When Im back in Socal for the summer (early May) I’m gonna be at JA pretty often (Im addicted to Sushi Go 55) and would love a working DDR extreme (it was pretty good last year june/july, but has been borked since then).
i havnt really dropped by japan arcade or even been to an arcade after ai closed down. i was wondering hows the kof xiii scene here? i know that the kof regulars at ai goes to alex arcade in santa ana now which is pretty far from me and i guess this one is the closest its only 20 mins away.
