Japan thread 2013: Abe back in office and island issues with China

Hi all,
Spending a week in Osaka by Shinsaibashi. Went to Sega Avion tonight for a few games and purchased my SF4 card for 500 yen. I have no idea how to actually register/set it up. Would really appreciate any help. Competition wasn’t great on Monday. If anyone is in the area and wants to meetup for some games or chill and talk about SF I’ll gladly buy u a beer.

Awesome! I’m real sorry that I won’t be able to get out this week, but I can let you know where things are happening.

First off, much more lively arcades in Denden town. Taito Arcade near Muji and Tower Records is where it’s at for SF4. This weekend (the 22nd to 25th I believe) is when their testing out Ultra SF4 at that arcade. You might want to check that out. MAP I saw a machine signed by Daigo there so it’s usually pretty hoppin’ in the SF section.

Second, looks like there’s people partying at Space Station in America Mura on Sat. 23rd round 8pm. It’s a get together from the Meetup.com group “All Things Nerdy.” but it looks like they deleted the event from their page. Always cool people there.

Might be able to make out a little on Saturday but really not sure yet. You can hit me up ACGalaga@anywhere. Good luck and have fun, man!

So, I leave tomorrow (12/14/2013) morning to fly to Tokyo. I will be there for about 2 weeks. I’m trying to plan my itinerary of where to go. If anyone from SRK will be around let me know!

My best game is 3s, but I’m down for whatever.

Same here. Just landed yesterday. Trying to figure things out and be strategic with my itinerary.

If someone is down to just meet up and hang out, please post here and I’ll private message you my details. I’ll even buy you lunch or dinner!

I am down to hit up some arcades. I am in Tokyo close to takadanobaba, home of mikado.

Note that this thread will close down and we will have a new 2014 thread.

Down to go out tonight if anyone is available. PM me or email me.

do any of you play gundam extreme vs?

im trying to get this game into the FGC scene hard

i am not really keen on any of that… but shinjuku is really popular for that gundam game. see a whole bunch of high school kids on it all the time though.

I personally just started guilty gear and will be focusing on that and League of Legends for now. that ultra sfIV is just plain IMO.

@Reno, can you lock thread, take from sticky and bump this pls!
