Ya. All you SD third strike players should organize at Nickel City. You guys got the best deal there. At $.15 a game you could get 20 games for $3.00 worth of nickels. Of course there is a two dollar entrance fee.
That’s a cheap deal if you want to play a lot of games to get better.
In my opinion Nickel City should be the best breeding ground for San Diego third strike players. Ryan (Let Blood Run) will show you the way. You guys should have a gathering at least three times a week. That way San Diego will up its third strike game too. With Ryan its pretty good already but it could get better.
Hey there, Im going to be moving to San Diego in 7 weeks, and I would love to play some third strike. Im from the northeast, and there is literally nobody to play with here, so I’m not great, but a big part of the reason im moving is to get better at 3S. I would also be greatly in debt if anyone could help me find a job/cheap place to live, since its proving difficult to do all the way from new hampshire.
I mostly play shotos, but I’m really interested in learning dudley, urien, yang, Q, and possibly makoto. If you want to help me out or get some games in, pm me!
YES! ive been saying for so long that nickel 3s is the place to go. I am 99% sure that its the cheapest 3s machine in the entire world. The only thing wrong at the moment is the 2p joystick dashes sometimes by itself, but it only happens like maybe once every 5-6 games (from my experience). I want to talk to the management about maybe getting some switch sticks because p360’s are so unreliable.
In a perfect world, nickel would have japanese sticks and all that, but that is not the case. Its not hard to learn how to use american and japanese sticks. I think anyone that wants to can adapt.
Currently we have:
chula vista (fucked up sticks, workers dont care. 50 cents to play i think)
Vista boomers (50 cents to play, no stools to sit on while playing :mad:)
Nickel city (15 cents to play, stools, and decent stick/buttons)
Its clear nickel is the best choice. The workers at nickel do fix shit if you tell them. They only stay broken when people dont tell the workers and come online to SRK and complain. Sorry guys, the skinny white guy that works at nickel doesnt read the forums. You HAVE to physically tell them whats up.
Some of you will argue and say lets just play console. Sure we could all use our sticks, but I think console is only cool if its 2 people playing. If you have more than 2 its fucking boring and you just end up sitting there doing nothing most of the night. I fucking hate plugging in sticks and pulling them out. Also I am ok with having 2-3 guys come, but more than that I dont know. Unless someone wants to step up to volunteer their house then Nickel is the way.
Im all for starting designated days to hit up nickel city. How about this thursday since ultra david is coming down from LA?
To the guy moving to SD to get better at 3s:
Be careful. One of the things that benefited me when I moved away to norcal last year was I got to get better and play more 3s. Realistically we have maybe 4-5 players but getting them together in the same room is fucking impossible. trust me. Now that Im back in sd, the only way to play other 3s players is to drive 1.5-2.5 hours away to either AI or denjin. So if youre moving to so cal to get better at 3s, move to simi valley because thats place to be right now for 3s. or you can just go balls deep and move to tokyo.
yeah nickel 3s was pretty legit last time i played on it. i say we have a 3s tourney at nickel next sat if anyone else is down maybe even make it a weekly or bi-weekly thing. hell i’ll even donate two competition sticks if the people working there will put them in
I just wanted to say that ryan was soft… i can use american sticks and im down for nickel if everyone agrees to go. I think thursdays would be cool, but i don’t know how all the homies from down south feel about that drive on a weekday. holler back :wgrin:
I hope he does get that fixed…Abom said that he would donate sticks if they would just install them, so we may have a change earlier than expected. Abom…tell me…Are you still down?
I can’t. I swore off video games til HD remix comes out. I also think I’m going to stop playing 3s and do HD remix til 4. And then of course main 4. Now that Fei Long and Gen are in the game I really wanna get into it.
