Regency Fun Center (RFC) Thread

I posted about RFC about a month ago, just telling everyone that they would be changing and updating their fighting game setup. It’s an arcade in Lakewood being overlooked by John Bailon (former SHGL Manager).

Well since then, they have added GGXX, CvS2 and added another MvC2 cabinet, all on 360’s and convex buttons. It’s really nice and roomy as i’ve said before. It’s located really close to different fast food establishments. 3rd Strike should be there Tuesday, along with stools. Currently, SvC is their biggest game. it seems a lot of people play it there, according to the employees.

Their first tournament will be Saturday Dec. 6th and the games will be MvC2 and 3rd Strike. It’ll be its introduction to the Street Fighter community and hopefully will be able to fill the void that’s been left in this area (Orange County, Long Beach etc.) of Southern California for almost about a year now.

I’m gonna be there this friday, hopefully for some competition. Anyone else up for checking RFC out?

how the phuck

Man I’m wondering kennywood how the hell did you find that place. I don’t know if I was out of it that day that I went with my friend but we couldnt find that damn place. we went over some bridge and looked down to see and nothing. that was like 4 months ago. Anyways if you can post here some specific directions as when you get off the freeway. It would be damn good.

hey wassup man, well i take the 91. So this is how i’d get there from Anaheim.

take the 91 West.
exit Cherry Ave., make a left.
Drive for like 3 miles, until you hit Carson Ave.
On Carson Ave. make a left.
drive for like a block and it’ll be on your right side.

The first post has the address.

Would it be a bad idea to move the CGL weeklys to RFC?..if it is, then could you guys host weeklys?

I’d definatly bring over folks for some 3s weeklys…that place is a pretty cool spot for some SF action! :smiley:

Just post any times/days there will be any 3s comp and i’ll show up.

yeah it’d be great, but we’re afraid that the regs might lose interest in the bigger monthly tournaments. Camelot doesn’t host monthly tournaments, so the weeklies there are ok. If we hold weeklies at RFC, i’m sure we’ll lose some of the weekend crowd.

What do you mean by “losing” the crowd? I’d figure if the regency turns out with decent sticks and stuff that it would gain a crowd, rather than lose it.

The place is huge, hopefully they won’t pack all the fighters as closely as cgl does so that tournaments don’t become a pain in the ass.

My suggestion would be to hold a 3S tourney the Tuesdays that UCLA isn’t having one. You could easily coordinate that with whoever’s running them now (SiN? Shaolin?).

Cheers.

i didn’t say losing the crowd. I said lose interest in the Monthly Saturday tournaments. If the place is good, has competition and people like it, it’ll never lose the crowd.

regency fun center = no svc comp = suckag3333333333333 !! :o

i’m gonna be in the area, so i’m gonna stop by for a while. if any of you go, i’ll see you there.

how is thrusday over there??

I gots me a car tonite and need to get out.

than wait around camelot during a tourney

lol. i just realized your sig is from the song “Com’back” by Sechs Kies. Ah, the memories of going to a predominantly Korean high school.

Does anyone play 3s on the weekend there? if so, what time?

nah not yet. I went friday and saw mutantxp there, but no one else. People were prolly at nor cal for the tournament. I’ll stop by Friday again to see if anyone shows up. They got stools already and the atmosphere would be good if people showed up. Hopefully some people in the area will go or something.

around what time on fri?

I’m gonna head over there right now just to check it out.

went there for the first time today.

ggxx and svc are 50 cents. both machines work fine.

cvs2 machine was not working/off.

3s is fine.

dunno bout the 3 marvel machines.

Didn’t expect there to be anyone there, and there wasn’t.
