If I’m correct there should be one of those ultracade machines at the Dave and Busters at the Spectrum. But that’s assuming all d&b’s have the same games because down here in san diego the ultracade machine has hyperfighting.
It’s going to be some time since I see JG again, but I’m willing to play some matches whenever I do go. Just don’t expect me to pull out Honda right away; I’m trying to learn characters that are actually good (like Ryu and… Classic colors Ryu ^_^)
They have Street Fighter 2 Turbo aka Hyper fighting.
and that’s the ultracade machine i’ve been rambling about for the past 3 posts.
Not super street fighter tho. No supers.
There is a hyper fighting machine in an Arcade in downtown L.A. I don’t know what the arcade is called. I haven’t been there in a long time and I have a feeling it’s beat to shit.
the hyper fighting machine in Montebello is inside a laundry mat. I heard the machine is working perfectly. It’s on paramount blvd next to a 7-11.
My friend has a hyper fighting machine setup in his Auto shop in Gardena. It is working, but if the buttons were replaced to new ones, it would be perfect. He bought the whole cabinet for $250. He said if I wanted to hold a tournament thereI could anytime LOL.
I’ve been holding HF tournaments at Cal Poly whenever they have tournaments there (except for the most recent one). Sign up rate is usually about 12-16 people. You can search the tournament results thread for details. I recorded all the matches from one of the tournaments - which includes footage of Mike Watson:
I also get out at 6:00pm, but I’d be jammed in traffic going 10 E. I probably wouldn’t even get to Cal Poly until probably 6:40 ish (if they’re even open that late).
Weekends are good for me, but I don’t think Cal Poly is open on weekends?
I’ve yet to try out that place in Montebello. If the machine is good, it would be an ideal closer location.
EDIT: Looks like Cal Poly, Mon - Thurs, 7:00 pm would be a good time for me (with advance notice).
I like playing Honda a lot, especially the challenging fights like Honda vs. Ryu. I mean, in theory, Honda has like, no chance, but I rarely come across people who are willing to do what it takes to beat Honda 100%. They always have to do something other than low roundhouse. Geez.
That’s why I’m practicing Ryu. Cuz I know eventually they’re gonna start having discipline.
The Cal Poly machine has great sticks: p360. I never had a problem with their buttons. Machine is a bit small, but it’s the old school way of rubbing elbows.
If you’re talking about dedicated players, it’s pretty much just me. There are a couple of people who’ll still play for fun. Jeremy (evilJ) is attending Cal Poly and will play when available. Andy (paro da) is somewhat local and will occasionally show for tournaments. Watson has been playing in recent Cal Poly tournaments 'cause he discovered how easy it was to take everyone’s money. Everyone else who plays in the Cal Poly HF tournaments were suckered in to sign up after they saw the “$1 Entry Fee” sticker.
You available tomorrow 6:30 pm? If not, sometime next week?
