You have no idea how many people got stabbed over MK2 around 1993 or 1994. Don’t remember exactly when but it was as bad as people getting stabbed over throws in SF2.
Speaking of throws (I posted this in the legendary “Info on the Old School SF Scene?”). Back in 2002, I kept doing the roll/throw spam in CVS2 with C-Groove and this Asian guy threatened me and said he was gonna beat me up or something.
I can’t believe that this that thread is thread #22:
First of all the incident took place in Zhenjiang, not in Beijing, not at all sure where they just randomly just put Beijing.
Secondly the Chinese FG community is on the whole pretty friendly and welcoming. There is a lot less history of fights here over FGs then there is in the US.
Anyway thoughts go out to the family and as a Chinese arcade goer, I really hope that we don’t see any backlashes against our arcades here. We’re lucky to have one of the last vibrant arcade scenes there and it would be a shame if arcades end up closing shop/being forced to close after this.
I wonder if the tone of the comments in this section would be different had the same thing happened at Super Arcade instead…
