rep that shit hard.
hahaha
peace
That arcade blows. One of the sides doesn’t even work and the remaining side has busted diagonals. Besides, its Namco so only the Namco games have any sort of up-keep. BUt i guess that’s a good thing for when Tekken 5 comes out!
no
yo. i work at the arcade, and none of the sides are broke in any way, shape, or form. some people complain of the down-towards diagonal on the player 2 side, but i think that’s just personal sensitivity preference. if i’m seeing Magnetos tri-jumpin everywhich away doing resets, and strider/dooms flooding the screen with rocks and shit, then i know the controllers aren’t busted. maybe you should actually come by the arcade.
and all the games in the arcade are maintained (this includes non-namco games), because each game contributes to the overall profit of the store. try and make a better argument next time, kiddo.
have a tourney
Shits! is the VA scene for capcom games back on again? Just when I’m leaving for PA too…
I hear Guilty Gear XX tournaments and such have been in the workings. Since I’ve been out of the country (and still am), what’s the word on how those have progressed?
Its crazy, just when you’re about to leave, you find a reason to stay.
I’ve been winning them. 
Subject to change either when Masaka winds up in the area or when a certain Sol/Johnny/Slayer player shows up on time next time.
(If I don’t get any more projects, I’ll be headed there today. I’m the RC-less scrub with the Ky/Axl/Johnny/Bridget/Venom.)
no
Dude not to be mean or anything, but the only 2d fighter that is reasonably in working shape is the XX one, Marvel is horrible, forget playing sent because HK works about 1 out of every five times, at least last time I was there. That being said, when do people usually play? I’d probably go more if I thought I would find someone to play(one time I went I got beasted in XX many times by a Ky, one time I got some 3s comp and beat some marvel heads down) if there is a time when I can expect to find peeps playing, I’d probably go. and to the guy who works there, please please PLEASE fix the 1p stick on 3s, PLEASE!? Oh and the Marvel buttons. Please?
Re: no
Yeah unless they somehow have another MVC2 machine in the upstairs Time-Out, N-Ken just described the problem with the MVC2 machine i’ve had to deal with perfectly. I suck horribly at MVC2, but come on, air dashing 1 out of 3 times is unacceptable.
on a different note: there’s a XX machine??? since when did that happen? I haven’t been to springfield mall in like 3 months, but i don’t remember seeing a XX machine in the downstairs one last time i went
Re: Re: no
It’s upstairs, which is really annoying cause if I want to switch floors for some XX I gotta walk ALL the way to the other side:lol: Controls seem alright though, I was able to do the bite loop most of the time anyways…
nah i think they are fixed now…I went there the other day and played NemoDC and noticed the sticks looked new. The buttons worked fine also…someone go there today i’ll probably be there.
Sounds nifty.
Ima try to make it down there tonight, hopefully there’s some comp…
Yeah, last time Pabs & I were there, they fixed it on the spot. The guy who worked there gave us some tokens thanking us for putting on such a battle

fellas
well if any of you guys got beef with the arcade joystick/buttons, then tell someone. especially me, cuz i’m almost always there from 3:45pm until closing (downstairs where MvC2 is). Guilty Gear XX is my new love. unfortunately, the manager moved me downstairs my 4th day of working. just when i was starting to get used to the funky GGXX button layout… and beasting with Dizzy and Bridget. now i have to beast on GGXX when i’m off the clock. fuck that shit.
we had a GGXX tourney on july 3rd. i have no idea how it went. that day i was working at a fireworks stand. so i missed it. anybody know how the comp was?
when i was upstairs… which was like june 23-27. the comp on GGXX wasn’t too tight. there were a few notables. particularly this one chubby white boy who used Kai and whored that wake up big ass super crystal ball move that i always forgot to avoid. and this other 25 year old dude was beastin with sol, saw him pull off the all-mighty-dust-loop once. shit was crucial.
i’m gonna see about that MvC 2 tourney.
peace

Re: no
okay man. if there is really something up with the controls, then come to the downstairs arcade and test them. if they are broke, write a note and give it to me (aaron, the brown dude), or if i’m not there, tape the note behind the MvC2 machine with your complaints (if you don’t trust the other employees to voice your recommendations)
late
aaron
fellas
Eight people. The player who was arguably the best one there (you mention him later in your post) arrived late and didn’t get to enter. A Ky player won the winner’s bracket, while I (after being sent to the loser’s bracket by the same player) came back to win with Johnny.
The competition wasn’t nearly as good or plentiful as the November 15 GGX.5 tourney. Of course, that one was dominated by Sols and Chipps. And me.
Hi there!
He isn’t my only character, though. Actually, given my recent matches, I might have to bump him from my main line. I keep leaving myself open to combos and his qcf+HS pressure is significantly worse than it was in GGX.5.
He’s definitely better than me. I can occasionally win against him, but it’s always a hard fight. Like I said, I’m a scrub.
Re: Re: no
I was only basing that opinion on the time previous I was there, when it was how I described it. Played last night and marvel was in pretty good shape, so you guys obviously fixed it, and it works nicely now. Since you are apparently willing to fix cabs(most arcades arent) could you install a new 1p stick on 3rd Strike? The one there now is really inaccurate and broken and etc. Thanks.
You should announce any time there will be a tourney, I would love a 3s and/or marvel tourney, heck I’d even show up for XX if I knew when it was:D For 3s or MvC2 I might even be able to run brackets if you need help…
Oh and GG’s to whoever I played last night in marvel.
so…who went last night? I was there and played a couple people but only one person worth noting besides my friend…most people i saw there at one time in a while…
I was there from 2 until 6. I’m guessing I missed most of the good competition.
I was there from like 7:45-9:00, I was the big white guy with the striped yellow shirt…
CHEA
Yea Falcon i must of got there right after you left…
N-Ken-that was me playin you most of those games…you were that person worth notin besides my friend haha.
