Rain City Grind @ Dorky's in Downtown Tacoma Dates TBA

B&I use to be a great spot to grind out. Not a lot of people knew how good that arcade was, machine wise. Sometimes the maintenence was shit but I would go there all the time and hyperbolic time chamber train in MvC2 and Darkstalkers.

And I really should be at these gatherings more (see: at all) but my schedule has been so hectic I haven’t had the time to. I live off 12th too so it’s right down the road from me. lol

I think you and me are going to be best friends. :lol: I can’t stand U"MvC"3 or Scrub Fighter IV.
Everytime I go to dorkies I end up dropping like 10 bucks between MKII, MvC1, Hyper Fighting and ST.

If they had a CvS1,2, Second Impact or 3rd Strike cab I would never leave. :lol:

i can play cvs2, and im on 12th st. also

but yea if anyone got a extra ps3 stick ill bring my set up

B&I still has those old school games. MK2 at Dorky’s sucks. The buttons need to get replaced. They stick too much. I noticed ST is a Jap version! Isn’t the “HF” machine really a CE machine at Dorky’s?

The MvC1 machine really pisses me off because the buttons are mixed between convex and concave. It really throws a lot of people off. Several people have complained and the dont want to fix it.

Don’t say things like “they don’t want to fix it”. I know first hand how well those machines are maintained. I doubt anyone can argue that the machines at the B&I are kept in better shape. Dorky’s replaces buttons that need to be replaced, not ones that are kind of annoying to play with but still working. The buttons are mixed up but I play that machine and MvC1 a lot and it doesn’t really throw me off much and it’s not like I’m money matching or anything so it doesn’t matter much anyway.

Yes, the ST machine is the Japanese version because when Masterman came to the community (on these forums) and asked what we wanted in an ST machine, we told him what parts and what version we wanted and he delivered. It’s the same cab they had next to SF4 at Acme in Tukwila. It’s a very good cab.

Can we have all the fighting games lined up in one row next to each other? Also, maybe we can get the MK1, MK2, SSF2, HF, T4, TTT, and MVC2 from B&I to Dorky’s. Just a thought…

All of the fighting games are in pretty much the same area except for MK.

Anyone need a ps2 or ps3 stick? I have a modded PS2 stick, namco PCB, Sanwa Buttons, in an SE Shell, has versus city cab artwork
and the ps3 stick is the old white HRAP 3-SA.
I can provide pics if needed.

Lemme know.

I’d want MvC2, SFIII (any of them, I love them all), CvS1 or 2, ST and UMK3.

Anything going on tonight? Does anybody still play Magic The Gathering or is getting back into that game? Not Magic online of course.

Seeing how the weather has been/currently is. I doubt it.

And there are a lot of places nearby that run Magic.

Atomic Comics by the mall
Exalted Games by the mall
Comic Book Ink in Lakewood
GameOn! in Puyallup

I don’t play but a lot of my friends play MTG.

hey shedder , whats up with doing something at the end of the month, i got the set up for ps3, just need a extra stick for ps3. i can play AE2012, Umvc3, and SC5. let me know what u think, tryin to get some more grind nights for tacoma. or if u can hook me up with dorky.

I’ll get something going again soon. I’ve been travelling around to other places a lot and dealing with some work issues so planning stuff has been tough. The only way we can get a session going is if we can get a good turnout. The 3 or 4 people sessions aren’t doing it for me. I’ll spread the word about a session and talk with Caroline and Les at Dorkys to get it going. I’ll keep you guys posted.

Any updates on this? Been kinda quiet.
Hoping we could do some kinda SFxT release tournament or something.

Fuck if I know.

I’ll get working on it soon. I’ve been going through a few changes at my job and my home so this has taken a back seat for now. We won’t do a SFxT release thing because the one going on at Gamebreakerz in Auburn is where I’ll be but we will do a good session shortly after it’s release. Don’t worry, I’ll post a date soon.

about to have the complete set-up for ps3, buying another hori like next month. Running SFxT, 3rd strike, and AE2012. I might be down at gamebreakers i just got a car. Whose ur team shredder on SfxT??

It will likely be Abel and King. Both my types of characters and I’ve mained both of them in their respective games. I’ll have to try everyone out though to make sure. I hope some of you guys make it up to Auburn that day. I’m going to be there along with some of the other top SF and Marvel players in the area. I can drive some folks too.

I might take you up on that offer if Mass Effect 3 doesn’t consume me first.

just shoot me a message if so.

shredder:do u know anybody that can fix a SF 20th edition fightstick?
