Street Fighter in Beijing?

we were there for a few hours last night

tonight: xizhimen till close, afterwards, we get faced

tomorrow: rinse, repeat

Hey I’m from Canada and visiting Beijing on Tuesday for a week or so. I was wondering if there’s a place over there where I can buy a decent XBOX fightstick at an okay price? I was thinking either a Hori VX SA or a TE…

Also if I have some extra time I might hit up an arcade there. Mind you I’m more of a MvC player so I’m pretty free at SSF4

TEs aren’t generally marketed here, so if you come across them they are usually pretty expensive. Horis aren’t that common either. You can find chinese brands like Qanba, though.

There are some reports going around that PSN might be down for another 6 weeks. No AE on June 7th for us if that is the case. /facedesk

we should go drinking this weekend~

I’m thinking beer and kabobs while the weather is nice. Friday night?

That is sounding a lot like NOT SSF4: AE…

I’m gonna be off to Xizhimen in a bit, mad people today, afterwards ya man, I’d be down.

What is this SSF4 you speak of

I’m more than likely going to be in ?? for a couple of hours tomorrow after work

I’m heading to Xidan as early as I can this afternoon. I’ll be there until about close.

Cool. I’ll be hitting Xidan this afternoon as well. I’ll be staying until roughly 8-8:30. For tomorrow, I have an intern meeting at work from 9-12, but there might be some that want to discuss stuff with me so I might have to stay a bit longer. I’ll do my best to be in Xidan at 1:30 tops.

Sounds like a plan. I’ll meet you guys there.

这个网站会用中文吗?

New SRK forums look nice. Quick question: Are you all able to get on PSN these days? I’ve been trying to log in with all my accounts and I just keep getting the under maintenance treatment…

I’d probably guess that even though Sony says you can log in, it’s probably gonna be borked for a while yet, especially with the reset password fiasco that came to light recently.

Also, can you give me some sort of posting acccount/access to the Beijing SRK blog? Wouldn’t mind posting some closing thoughts on the scene (locals and foreigners).

I’ll look into it as soon as I can. I think your best bet would be to write it in a document and send it over. I can copy it onto a blog post and credit you for it. I’ve only just started with Wordpress and I’m taking very slow baby steps.

Edit: While we’re on the subject of the blog, are you guys cool with me putting up the videos from the tourney? The screens were hard to record so Kim has recorded our faces on a few occasions. I can do some editing here and there.

Hmm, forum seems to work now.
Can I ask a big favor of everyone. My phone died on Friday (And the SIM card as well) and since I’m only here for another month and a half I’m not buying a new one. As such I won’t get texts from you guys and can’t receive calls. So until I leave could people make a quick post here if they’re going to the arcade, what’s up on weekends, etc etc so I can meet up with people.

Thanks a lot,

Maddocks.

PS: On the video note, fine with my firs tmatch, but don’t want the second one up. Totally ashamed of my panicking in the second round…

Yeah I hear ya. My match was not my proudest moment either. I must have watched it over 10 times already. I know what to work on next now so dustin’ myself off and getting back on the horse.

I’m thinking about hitting Xidan tomorrow and Friday, usual hours.

@fake_roogle: Do you have a Wordpress account? I think I found an option that allows me to add you as a Contributor. I’ll need the e-mail address you’ve registered with Wordpress.

Well if you decide to go post here and I’ll meet you there.

Gotta practice for the next two tournies.
