JAPAN THREAD 2007 (Konnichiwa B!tches!)

word up shekieb let us get some fame too

I was thinkin about goin tomorrow (Monday) to play 3s. We could meet up somewhere on the Yamanote Line and we could go together, im down whenever.

Gamers Vision Directions (These might not be perfectly accurate)

I know how to get there from Nishi-Nippori and Shinjuku. Both stations are on the Yamanote Line.

I’m not exactly sure on the spelling of the train lines, but its close enough. The lines are kind of hard to find in the train stations, but if you ask anyone at the stations, they’ll show you where the train line is.

From Shinjuku, you can take the Shonan Shinjuku line (not sure about the spelling of that) to Yokohama, a 25 minute ride.
From Yokohama, take the Sotetsu line to Nishi Yokohama. The Sotetsu line was kind of hard for us to find, just look for signs or ask someone if you can’t find it.

From Nishi-Nippori take the Keihin Tohoku Line to Yokohama, a 30 minute ride.
From Yokohama, take the Sotetsu Line To Nishi Yokohama. Sotetsu line is kind of hard to find, ask someone if you cant find it.

Gamers Vision is in Nishi Yokohama, its close to the station, when you exit the Nishi Yokohama station, you’ll be over the trains cause youll have to go up the flight of stairs. Right after you pass the ticket office, go left onto the overpass bridge that goes over the train tracks. When you get on the other side, go down the stairs, and go left towards the street with the stoplight. Cross the street, and go right. You should see a black building on your left, turn left when you see that black building, from there you should see a sign that says Gamers vision on your right. Music games on 1st floor, Fighting games on second floor.

Here is a crappy map I just made

I wrote a lot more than I needed to, just to be on the safe side. The number to gamers vision is 81452605785, they’ll help you with instructions on how to get there, but they dont speak english.

Thanks for the information man.

However this trip is just too much for me to do often. I live in Saitama. Shinjuku is an hour + ride for me. So Its a total of 3 hours of traveling for me or more to go to G vision.

But yeah It would cool to meet somewhere else . I can’t go today because ill be in akihabara.

But it would be cool if we could all roll down to G-vision at some point on a weekend. I think it would be really fun. My only weekend in July thats busy right now is like 15-16th. I can’t do that if there is one that weekend.

went to alpha station on saturday… played against some iron man dude

so i guess alpha station is the only mvc2 competition here? i still had fun. i suck at 3s, but ill still play with you guys if you want… im gonna go to yokohama today and get a softbank prepaid cell, so ill msg anybody who wants to meet up and play–

So I have some time on the 21st of July and I wanted to know if anyone would be interested in playing some games here in Kotesashi (30minutes from Ikebukuro on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line) If so I wanna play from 11am ? 4pm at my place. This is what I have or can get.:

XBOX 360: SF2HF
PS2: MVC2, CVS2, 3rd Strike, Soul Calibur 3, Tekken 5 and Melty Blood
DC: Project Justice and MVC2 Remix.
N64: Super Smash Brothers and Mariokart 64
GC: SSB Melee and Double Dash.
NDS: Mariokart DS and Jump Ultimate Stars
PSP: Tekken DR

My friend wants to battle some folks in Jump and I wanna get some Oldskool Smash and Tekken 5 in. But I do play all the games I mentioned above.

do you have a jp ps2 or us? i can definatly bring Tekken 5(NOT DR), 3rd strike and CVS2 (all US). i can also get KOF(jp). im hella down for some 3rd strike, CVS, and T5 though.

but until 4am? the first train dont start until 0500 though, or i may be wrong for the ikebukuro line…

dang, ill be back in the states july 19th!! if you could somehow make it before that, then i would be definitely down to play… especially marvel and ESPECIALLY old school smash bros!!!

oh, and im goin to yokohama tomorrow to get a softbank cellphone. ill message you guys my keitai and meado

man, i sure as hell get owned here at 3s… lots of good players…

ill see ya guys soon, and post more info when i get my cell

ya… i knew that…:china:

well since it is that early, i can hella do it. my gf usually wants to be with me on sat night n e way, so i guess i can be let out of the cage for that time period.

i can play OS smash, but i suck ass probally now, but with a lil bit of practice i be up on game again.

so how many TVs is there gonna be, cause from what i see, we got some heads commmin and a wide ass variety of games… there isnt enough time in the day to have all that fun. :party:

O.K. I’m gonna make some prior smash arrangements!

I’ll have at least 2 TV’s and time is the f#cking problem. I have arrangements for that evening as well. So I say we to stick to the schedule while keeping in mind that is very likely change. :smokin:

ok well im down anytime. i was hopin that there wasnt just one tv, but since there is 2 or possibally more, fuck we gonna get down. can I bring some drink too? like some JD or beer. i wont force no one to drink, more for me…:cool:

Thosse stairs look like a real hazard. Someone should definitely pass an ordinance forcing them to be fixed. Also, I’ll be going to school in Yamanashi for a year. I’ll be there July 3rd, and I wouldn’t mind chillin with you guys too. :slight_smile:

np man i will be here for a while too

hey i finally got a cell and email!!

i gave it to parry, but if anyone else wants it, leme knoooo

hey ya’ll, it is my b-day on 07 07 07 that would be next saturday. i am gonna head down to the arcade saturday afternoon for a bit and then me and a bunch of my friends are going to a nomihodai (drink till you get fucked up) from midnight untill 0500. the cost is 2000Yen per person for you 5 hours of free drinking + whatever food you buy. only a coupple ppl speak engrish, so you guys can either learn the fast way, or just speak english with the other gaijin there. just hit me up if you are down to come and get faded for my b-day, or if you just wanna play some SF.

the place is right by shibuya kaikan (hachiko exit) 3 minutes away from the HMV.

Hi guys,

I live near Shibuya and would be really happy to meet more Super Turbo players in Tokyo. Anyone here play ST? I’m free most Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Thanks,
Charcoal

dude i havent played that game since SNES, but i see some killer players at kaikan, but there are only like, 1 or 2 cabnites for that game. you mightve seen me if you go to kaikan alot.

ftw. I’ll post once I know if I’ll be free that night.

On another note, is there a scene anywhere else besides Tokyo? I’ve never been to Japan so I don’t know the area well. I’ll be going to YPU, which I am to understand is close to Kofu. Is there anything noteworthy closeby?
