Japan Thread: The population really is declining for SRK Japan

Ok dude, when ultra comes out we can run some practice games. I need tp learn a few new characters myself…

Oh ya… Going to Osaka for a day or two. Anyone have some recommendations? Who wants to go for a drink?

Just moved from Fukui to northern Kyoto and looking for folks to watch EVO USF4 tomorrow (Saturday) with. Anyone interested in a meet-up? Perhaps at my place? There’s pretty good pizza available nearby!

Man, if I was in your area I would be so down to go! Too far man…

Pizza sounds really good now too…

Sup,

I’m pretty sure I’ve asked this before on these forums a long time ago but I’m looking for Street Fighter players in the Tokyo and Saitama area who frequent game centres. I’m relatively close to places like Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and Takadanobaba while also some places in Saitama along the Seibu lines.

For those that don’t usually go to the arcades I also have PS3 and PC Street Fighter, please add me. PSN: Gouki Satsujin and PC via Steam: supergoal

I do have a few pretty decent SF RL buddies that hit the game centres here as well as PSN. More competition the better we all get.

Gouki/Higashi

This is where how we usually meet up.

I am the only one that plays SF really, but we all go out to arcades and drink and what not.

Hi!

I introd before but many things match up w/what Higashibashi is lookin for.

I live in Chiba and work in Saitama (near Omiya, Utsunomiya Line) and have PS3 (and 360).

Still in the process of movin from SC (Soul Calibur II-IV; 10 year playa) and playin SF.
Switchin (still play some SC) cause Talim’s not in the game and hardly anyone’s on SCII HD.
If a new SC comes out w/Talim I’ll be on that pronto and 100%.
SF’s probably always got someone online and is in every arcade.

One of my JP friends (God of Pad, Shen) just won the SCII HD comp in EVO (if you saw the side comp in the Mad Catz booth).

After March next year my place in Chiba should be open for gamez occasionally (son is 3rd yr HS so has to study for uni exams so house is closed for business).
Also have a friend that can play SF near Ageo (but he doesn’t seem to like the game so much).

Also hopin to hit the arcades (prob in Aki and Shinjuku but anywhere in Tokyo will be OK).

Wanna be above a button masher so am still pracin (when I have time and am not workin, the process slower when you work 6 dayz a week).
Gonna be hard (impossible?) to catch up on a game that I never played, where others have years more experience on.
Have most of Aug off from work so should have lotsa time to do more things then.
Will be more ready after Ultra hits console next month (and I get some prac time on it) and then hope to start things rollin.

Don’t drink but love food and if others drink a little it doesn’t bother me.

I’m older (born in '67) and am prob an average playa but try hard.

I think so, here is no one to play with

Hello!

I’m moving soon to Japan for work, from August I’ll be on the island of Shikoku. I doubt it, but are there any Persona 4/Blazblue or Melty blood players here? I dabble in UMvC3 aswell.

Need help on registering a NESiCA Card for playing USF4. So far I’ve found this guide: https://jiyunajp.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/guide-registering-a-nesica-card/
The guide is really helpful but I was wondering if anyone had tips on how to sign up for USF4 in particular. Cheers for the help.

Side note:
Living in Seoul. First trip to Tokyo this Saturday (7/26 - 7/31) - certainly not my last. Staying in Ikebukuro - playing at Taito Station South Shinjuku. At home, I play on Japanese servers as does all of Korea. Xbl: shania twajn

doing exactly what that guide said would get you your card…

I am with a group of people in Takadanobaba quite frequently and we can do Shinjuku as well. Safari in Ikebukuro is also really good for USF4.

I would reccomend:
Takadanobaba - Mikado
Ikebukuro - Safari
Shinjuku - Sportsland or Taito (over by Greanpeas not the one by Donqui Jote)

What’s up Everyone. I’m kind of out a ways in central saitama area. My closest game center with USF4 is about 35 min away in Omiya. I go there once or twice a week. On Thur nights there is usually a good turnout of fairly decent players. If anyone is ever down to meet up let me know. I’ll try to make it out to some Tokyo stuff once in a while as long as my pockets can handle it.

Ya that is hella far man… if you ever make it out to one of our Takadanobaba getups I will buy you a beer!

Sounds good man. Thanks!

I go from Chiba to Omiya every day for work.
I can’t do gamin Thur nights though, my arcade night is usually Fri.

On SCII in Aki Try Tower Amusement Fri nights (just got back from some now).

After Ultra hits console hopefully I’ll be ready for some Ultra arcade action (the SCII gettin fixed at Try is gonna cause a problem here…).

Thanks mate! I’ve got infiltration tech that I’m going to bring to Tokyo :wink:
See some of you there!

@IparryU
Do you know the Japanese characters for south shinjuku taito station? The guide says I need to select it when registering. Cheers.

Also, is Tokyo a prefecture? (東京都)?

This is what you asked for in Japanese
タイトステーション南新宿店

The area should be
東京都 then 新宿区

IparryU, can you please remove my PSN from your post? I cannot live in Japan any longer, because I lost my job due to its loss of profit and I am about to move out in August. I am going to miss Japan so freakin much. :frowning:

Sorry to hear that… I will remove you, best of luck my man.
