I’m in Tokyo, Japan right now and I crossed the station when I went to Shinjuku last night. I’ll most probably go to BigBox today, but I don’t really know where the exact location is at. If anyone could help me and give me instructions when I head out from the Takadanobaba station to BigBox, that would be awesome!
Exit the station and its exactly next to it. You cant miss it. Its on the 6th floor. You can also ask the station staff if you’re not sure. They’re friendly.
K thx, I’m gonna head there in a couple of mins.
have fun. bigbox’s arcade’s the shiznit… if only i lived nearby 
damn it i dont think they recorded the last tourney…
Anyone wanna join me for tomorrow’s nakano trf tourney?
Its real lonely
xd
Hey hfz, are the tournies still at the same times that are posted on the first post of this? I’ll probably be hitting up a few of these once I get back into the swing of things.
yeah but sometimes shit can start really late(30-45mins late) depending on the entries. but thats usually for the open tourney i guess. id recommend you joining the open tourney (friday). i mean, you’re def not a beginner 
Ugh, but I’m rusty as shit right now. Three months with nothing but training mode.
Now I can hit s.hp xx flashkick though for every single punish. =D
so another gaijin won the tourney today w00t
his name is team and he won the tourney using gief.
he’s from canadian i think.
lol my abel on the other hand… i dominated a chun li for the first two rounds but she came back to win 3 rounds LOL… oh and because there’re only 10+ or so ppl today they made it a best of 5 rounds instead of the usual 3.
Hey, about what time do those tournies end? I normally like to head back to Yokosuka so I can sleep in my bed but the trains quit rolling pretty early.

Hello guys
I’m sorry to bother you guys with questions here but I don’t know where to start. I’m planning to take a trip to japan next year for a week or two. It seem most of you guys are expert of tokyo japan. If you can give me any tip regarding cheap flight/hotels, that’d be great. I’ll be there most for gaming :). Would 2 k be enough for 5 nights/flight?? Shiz, if you guys can hook up me a place to stay + showing me around the first day, That’d be godlike and appreciated. Of course, I’d be willing to pay the same amount as hotel 
for the trouble and I don’t mind sleeping on the floor either.
Unfortunately i dont really know about flight/hotels info that much. Try asking in the Japan thread.
Anyone going this friday? I plan on heading out and trying to find the place on the go but if anyone’s going who has already been there could show me that’d be great.
lol yo you aint goin to freeplay tonight? i just got back from school, damn tired dont think i’ll make it 2nite. as for 2mrw, i have a party to go to lol… the place is really easy to find though from nakano station… maybe takekawa-san can help you(he’s the japanese guy who loves to speak/learn english with you hehe), he usually hangs around there.
