JAPAN THREAD 2011: Lets get it on!

hey guys im currently in korea but no one is ever on xbox live here LOL. anywho ive already played a bunch of you guys since i changed my region to japan. please add me. shinkudrygun is my xbox live tag. i main ryu and im always looking for people to play :slight_smile:

I am thinking about buying a BP card for AE but I have some questions first. I know it requires cellphone to choose a name etc but can I just buy a card without activating it and play as ā€œNO NAMEā€ and still see my bp score etc when card is inserted? How many games do a card last? Sorry if its already been asked.

Yes. One card, 500 matches.

Thank you!

by chance is anyone on okinawa?

Visitors to Japan
If you have a question, feel free to ask us, but first COMPLETELY read and answer the following questions:

1. Where are you going to stay? (Tokyo is not an answer, it is just like saying New York City, L.A., London, or Hong Kong)
5 days in Meguro City (from July 24th to July 29th) and then from then until August 8th in Kobe City, very close to Osaka

** 2. What games do you play?**
Anything. Third Strike, Arcade Edition, Super4, MVC2, Vampire Savior, CVS2, Power Stone 2, Melty Blood AC, Melty Blood AA, Project Justice, Tekken 123456, and am willing to play anything

3. If you are asking for budget approximations, please give detail about:
-The number of people you will be with: 1 person at all times, but they are Japanese.
-Where you want to go: Iā€™ve been to Japan before, just wanna get some games in
-How luxurious of a place you want to stay in: I have a place to stay
-What your spending needs are (ie. gifts for the family, everyday arcade, sightseeing, etc.): already have gifts for the family and a modest budget, probably not enough for every day arcade though.

Is there anyone that can meet up with me / Advise me on where to go? we can even hang out for the 5 days ill be in Meguro City, iā€™ve got some cash and I have 200,000 yen at the very least for spending money separate from other needy stuff.

I asked HFZ this, but does anyone know if there are any top arcade SSF4 player, playing on PSN under some ninja account? I know a few of them (like -6 plays under Reentrant on PSN), but I was wondering if there was some list somewhere, or some forum with that kind of information. Iā€™m just looking to get some good follows on PSN, since it seems like everyone is on 360ā€¦

I dont know anything about Meguro. But in Kobe there is an arcade called Magical Amusement Space if you turn left and walk about 1min from the East gate at the JR Sannomiya station.
Very good arcade.

i went to that magical amusement space a few weeks back when i was in kobe, only scrubs were there, left me disappointedā€¦ i was kinda hoping to see some high level actionā€¦ it was at night too (9pm+)

I am in osaka till wednesday. Let a brother know if anyone is around. in the shinshishibashi area by nikko hotel

anyone who lives in japan and speaks Japanese can you please pm me asap!

just updated first page with this link:
http://www.mmcafe.com/

this will show your where the arcades are, rankings and such.

I wish i could be out and about like i used toā€¦ I will try this saturday night if wify dont bitch too much. Anyone out on Sat in Tokyo?

Really? Iā€™ve seen one of the regionā€™s best play there among othersā€¦ But that was a while agoā€¦ maybe people have moved to xbox liveā€¦ You could always try the arcades at Nambaā€¦ iā€™ve been there on the weekends in the afternoon and all 8 cabs were fullā€¦ some highly ranked!

Ok as of now I am in a hotel 8 minutes from Osaka train station in JR staying at a hotel 2 stops away. I actually wonā€™t be in Kobe for long but Iā€™m betting there are some good places in Osaka

Monte 50 is definitly the place to go if you want to play AE in Osaka. Might be going there tonight again.

Ok, I need to open my PS3, the flat heads I have wont fit in the Security Torx screw that is on the case under the rubber foot.

I have read in some places that it is a Security (TR) T10 driver head that I need, but some of the security pins have different gaugues and may be too big for the hole (yaā€¦ she always says thatā€¦) in the screw.

Does (has) any one opened a PS3 PHAT with this bit? Does anyone here know where I can go get that bitā€¦ store specificā€¦ In Tokyo?

I have one week until I go on vacation and this is my last home project before I am in Naganoā€¦ Want this done so I can play SSF4:AE when I returnā€¦ itching really bad now.

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone knew of a place in tokyo where i can pick up Arcade Stick parts, i know thereā€™s a place in Akiba but i canā€™t remember the nameā€¦

the one in akiba, Mak Japan.

I usually get my stuff online, direct from the manufactersā€¦
