Korea Thread - SF, Chicken, and Beer

Just arrive in Busan this morning and found the humongous arcade already. Sadly, it does not have KOF13, nor does it matter anyway, since I discovered that I could not do anything with a Korean stick… LOL

Hey what’s up guys. I have been out of the loop busy with work, but I will be getting a phone and the internet by next week so I can exist again. Also I am down to meet up, and I can host as well once I get a phone lol. I live very close to Nowon station, I don’t know how that is proximity wise for everyone else.

Just played a bit on Korean PSN and I am VERY impressed with the average skill level of players. :slight_smile:

so like, whens the next event? thats hopefully on a weekend :\

Play a little bit more. Ed went from Wonky to GDLK in a short time on one.

Ever since playing on Korean sticks, I can’t seem to make the transition back to Sanwa. Even Seimitsu is really hard for me.

this is true, i was average at best but playing here in korea arcades has step my game up. than and laugh feeds me his home made kim-bap

If anyone is down for some games or somethin hit me up. I just got to Osan not too long ago, been havin probs findin some games in a few I play (namely BB and Skullgirls) but I also play MK, AE and SCV.

Hi, newbie from the Philippines here.

I’ll be visiting Seoul, Korea for the first this coming May 3-6 and I would like to have some friendly matches with you guys there. Anyone wants to meet up and play some SSF4 in the arcade? Just email me in philip1718@yahoo.com. My mains are Chun Li and Rose.

Hi 1718
Rite now it’s really hard to find competition in Seoul if you go to arcade cause arcade scene is kinda dead
However, if u want to play some games here you should go to id cafe at near Shinchon subway station
you can pay 10 dollors which is 10000won and you can play whole day and they open 24 hours
you can contact kensou82@naver.com
if u send e-mail, owner will let other players around know so u can have many competition

Kind of new to the area(Seoul) just wondering if there was a decent place for me to fin an arcade stick or maybe any arcades/tournaments/ etc

Hey guys,

I arrived in Korea about 2 weeks ago. Now that I’m finally settled in, I’d like to find some people to play some FG’s with. I’m going to be in Daejeon for 1 year, so I’m crossing my fingers that there are other people here or nearby. I saw that Daejeon was mentioned in a few posts from a few years back, but there hasn’t been much else in regards to this area. I really enjoy playing UMVC3, but I’m picking up SFxT. I wouldn’t mind learning KOF13, but I’m complete ass at that game. I can play AE2012, though it’s definitely not my first choice out of the batch.

Also, I was wondering about the online scene. I brought my ps3, but whenever I try to search for a match, it never finds anything. The only response I ever get is when I search for lobbies in any region, but, strangely enough they’re usually from the USA region. I have even created an Taiwan PSN account (the setup instructions can be switched to English), but nothing seemed to change. Is this due to everyone playing on xbox? or is it b/c of my connection/potential firewall settings. I tried both UMVC3 and SFxT, and both yielded the same results. I think my connection is fairly good; l’m on the KAIST campus with a 100 mbps line.

Thanks guys

go on youtube, search something like this; “creating japanese psn”. follow the instructions to make a japanese psn account. Once you do that, just search for same region when looking for lobbies. You should get enough ppl to play with online that way. Well it’s what I did anyways.

I only have SFxTK and AE with me here so if you wanna play those add me;

TerminusTYPE303
or

Thanks, that worked great. I was able to get some really good connections in SFxT. Sadly, after playing 1 game of Marvel with a kind of crappy connection, I couldn’t find another game at all. Perhaps marvel is dead on the PSN in Asia :(.

i saw a foreigner playing ssf4ae 2012 at isu theme park last saturday or sunday
im just wondering if anyone from here knows him.
he seemed to have some knowledge about the game not just a button masher

is id cafe still around Im going to be visiting in july and i asked my cousin to find anything about it but she can’t find anything.

so like im thinking about going to hyehwa this saturday to play some ae 2012 and maybe a lil tekken tag 2. if anyone wants to join me, text me 010 8697 7506.

or if anything else is going on, ill gladly come. man this thread is so dead lol

It’s cause I’m still not back on the peninsula. :frowning:
