Korea Thread - SF, Chicken, and Beer

Hey Ranma I played you at CTB II When I was stationed at Ft hood. You showed me the power of Mag + Haggar by bodying the shit out of my team in Marvel Teams lol. Anyhow Im stationed here so if you wanna run sets online on xbobx hit me up. If you are willing to tutor me though I would pay for some lessons. You got a great Rufus as well. Anyhow let me know.

I actually missed the phones getting food lol Was a pretty good tourney alot of suprises. Wish I could had a chance to play poongko. I did play the Gief that was on the stream. Dude is damn good. I got bodied by an Adon. I felt I played solid though, he was just much better than me. Oh well, Ill get stronger. Laugh, Infiltration, It was good to see you guys there, and watch you play in person. Laugh your Ryu is so damn solid. Infiltration, You are a beast. I thought your Hakan was gonna pull through. Next time hopfully. Anyhow in closing good stuff, and that mall is bad ass lol. PS for those there I was the only obvious hispanic american there lol

i wanna go to more like these or something. i had sooooo much fun i can die happy now

Hell yea Ed! Def a good time. We gotta meet up again sometime

I don’t have xbox on me right now. I’m staying next to coex mall. I have no idea where everything is and not being/knowing Korean is killing me. Any arcade with sf4 nearby? Would love to get games in and check out Korea for these next two days.

YES!

Take Line 2 from Samsung station (That’s the station literally connected to Coex mall) to Sadang station (So take the train bound for Seolleung station), then transfer to the line 4 train headed toward Danggogae, and get off at Isu (Chongshin University). I have a video that literally leads you to the arcade from Isu station, check out my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MissingPersonSRK

All in all, it’s only about a 15-20 minute train ride to Isu station. That’s also Infiltration’s home arcade.

what is the best time to go? Open and close time?

Ah, You’re about a 5 won taxi ride from where I stay. Wish I had more info about the arcade’s but I really dont go out much here due to my weird work schedule in the Army (Nights 12 hour shifts).

Opens early in the morning, around 10am-ish? closes at midnight or 1, I forget which, but unless you’re cool with taking a taxi back to Coex, You’d want to leave about 10:30 to get back to Samsung station.

Best time to get there is around 4 or 5pm from what I’ve observed.

I’m there right now. Only one person playing sf4…come out guys.

If you were that Cody player that I played around 4:30, then :stuck_out_tongue:

I was the guy that came in, played a cocktail of characters (Chun/Rog/Honda), then left. I had to go attend to other matters at Isu, but knew you would probably be there, so I wanted to come for a short time.

so apparently the lg cup will be here in korea, bam http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2012/jan/29/lg-cup-qualifying-results-dates-quarter-semi-grand-finals/

not sure where its going to be held exactly but if its at that time square mall that would be great since i already know where its at.

Yeah that was me. Wish I could have played Infiltration once but it was nice to check out another arcade thats still alive. lol

lol GG’s man, your Cody is so sharp. Wanted to bust mine out, but it felt akin to playing Ryu vs. Daigo.

Would’ve loved to play more, you’re actually the best Cody I’ve played and made me realize I’ve been playing that matchup all wrong. Funniest part is my Honda seemed to do better Vs. you, and I haven’t really played him since like January or February of last year.

Happened to be at Time Square today and they were filming something. Thought it was the LG cup but it turned out to be some BF3 tourney. Got me thinking, where can I watch the LG cup live? Anyone streaming it per chance?

Is it possible to go watch this tomorrow? Hate to have those big names come through Korea and not see it live. Anyone know?

It’s being held at CGV Cheongdam CineCity on Sunday from1pm from what Laugh messaged me. Im going to check it out. @ Laugh thanks again for the info

Awesome, thanks for the info Keyzerjose + Laugh. I’m definitely going to try and go watch, hope to see some of you guys there - it’s been a while.

so mike ross and justin wong are in korea?

It would be cool to run into them in an arcade here for some sets!

I’ve been to quite a few of the arcades here, but I haven’t found any decent venues for ST. Is there anywhere best to head for that, or am I SOL for SFII love in the ROK?
