Please Help

Nice Topic

But i cant read from 1 to page 50 so please help me with a few questions
im now in shinjuku for 2 weeks ihave been to almost all arcades in tokyo

big box
club sega all of them
club hey
nakano trf
some in shibuya

i really whant to play with you guys with americans and japanese players
i play sfiv ssfiv doesent matter i which 1 i play them sinds release
i searched everywhere for pro players every arcade coulendt find any famouse players
so is there any meetup or casuals, tornies? in tokyo?

Thanks!

Sleepin in dat internet cafe. Pro.

GGs everybody, thanks for hosting such a dope event.?

first of all, an important factor is WHEN did you go to the arcades, any time before evening probably hard to find famous players.

then, theres the ssf4 factor where people spend more time online playin ssf4(i know a few players who do this)…

as for meetup etc… if you bothered to even read the posts above you, on this very page and maybe previous one too, youd know whatsup.


…and yeah tonight was by far the loudest FRJ to count. GGs to everyone, tokido drunk was hilarious… im still kinda salty for throwin my game away for free lol

whatever though i had fun, sall good. /salty

thanks ElvenShadow for takin us to the bar, too bad I couldnt enjoy it as much as I wanted because of my back killin me every second im standing lol. I also realized that i couldnt dance(to rock music) for shit though it did get a little better later when RATM was played hahaha.

lol sorry yo this place kinda sucks hahaha

oh and, clear your inbox dude, im tryna send you a pm

edit: and im at booth #4 if you need anything

edit2: imma leave this place at around 530am, if you decided that you wanted to chill at my place while waitin for your hostel check-in time, do shoot me a pm(and clear your pm inbox while youre at it too).

ah fuck dude my bad. i passed the fuck out after writin that shit, I appreciate the invite though! next time! youre always welcome at my pad in Oregon (same for everybody)

(goddamn Japanese keyboards)

lol aight, just reached home btw

gonna pass outt now… i slept for like 3 hours at the cafe, then i woke up feelin kinda refreshed and had some instant noodles and alot of ginger ale hahaha

You felt refreshed? Youre crazy, I slept like 5 and felt like absolute shit. Was it hot as hell in your cubicle? Im pretty sure the ac didnt really reach my side of the room :lol: Anyway, I do appreciate the invite. Ill add you on PSN when i get back to the states, but I dont have SSF4 for it.
shoutout time

@Mr. Popular: Thanks a lot for doing all you do for the scene, man, I really enjoyed talkin with you and you have great taste in music. Next time Im in Nihon Ill make sure to come to another FRJ.
@Haz: Thanks again for showing me the net cafe for sleeping and it was tight meeting you. Im surprised you rap, but thats hella dope anyway. Also, my Fuerte is free to your Abel, I gotta practice more.
@ES: Thanks for taking us to the bar, yo, that was pretty fun. Not somewhere Id normally go, so it was cool to experience something new and was fun chatting with you. Stay rockin that Guilty Gear.
@Caliber (or is it Calibur): Funny chattin with you though we never got to play SF. Next time.
@Miguel, whatever your srk name is: You one funny dude, I wanted to play your Dudley but didnt get the chance. next time.
@Yosuke: Thanks for organizing shit, and being cool with how loud we were getting. Was good to meet you!

As for Ken, I hope he had a good time fucking tokido.

lol @ Haz

anyway my bad, i really didnt think the place would be that small… my prev manga kissa experience- the place was hella dope, big cubicle with big screen monitor, quality headphones and bed-like chair…

New FinalRoundBat #4 pics here! I will comment later when I sober up!

w

word its all good. i felt a lot better after showering and shit. Yeah Haz cuz I can’t remember your full name, fairly certain it was something difficult. New name imo.

Edit:
Going to TRF around 12 today to get in my farewell session of arcade gaming before I go home tomorrow. Be there or be square!

Oh? What’s the catch? Seems like getting paid to sleep to talk to women and the possibility for the sex seems too good to be true…Not that I’ve ever do it of course. :rofl: Really, I wouldn’t.

Touched down in land of the rising sun a couple of days ago and shit’s good! Food here is pretty damn nice albeit pricey and the arcades are pretty damn awesome!

Some weird things that I just don’t understand: Women carrying umbrellas in 35 degree weather. WTF? Are they scared of a bit of ol’ tan? Honestly?

Fellow Gaijin. I don’t know why, but I don’t think my fellow Gaijin like me that much. I mean, I get the kinda feeling that it’s like: ‘Hey, I’m the only one allowed to be special here, get out of my terrority!’ Though, there was this one guy in Shibuya who was pretty nice. I think he was just happy to see another black guy around. :rofl: It’s gonna be a good couple of weeks!

Will there be another FRB in the next month or so? I want to go to Tokyo for some SF action, but kinda want to avoid SBO.

Yo good times to everyone at FRB. Everyone was cool to chill with. Ill most likely be going to the next one too! Also thanks for coming to Current, Im glad you guys had fun.

Az, I think they said they were gonna take a break in September and the next one will be in October. You should come though, it was pretty good times.

I was wondering the same thing. Making a street fighter video travel log on sf scenes around the world. Got footage from hamburg, Berlin, a big tournament in holland and next week will be filming matches and interviewing London players.

Japan would be a fitting finale to the series. Since the skill level is something everyone everywhere else is striving for.

I’ve experienced some weird looks from both younger Japanese dudes as well as foreigners. Not sure how it makes me feel.

Well, I spent a month living in China, and I imagine it’s about the same, people stare/take pictures A LOT :smiley: Nothing to really get bothered by, at some places i visited in China, non-tourist places, most of them had never seen a foreigner before, so I guess it’s not that odd that they stare.

Anyway, probably going to move to Japan and study when I get the cash for it, so I better start practicing, so I don’t make a fool out of myself at the arcades :slight_smile:

Btw, is it a lot more expensive to live/study in Tokyo than it is in any other fairly big city? Read somewhere that it isn’t as expensive as some claim, if you aren’t going to buy land/estates etc, so a normal apartment is fairly regular priced?

You are dead wrong for that! RLMAO! But on the real man Happy Trails! We need to continue when I get back Stateside. . . but in the meantime, get Tonya Morgan Brooklynati.

Why are you trying to avoid SBO? Beside the absurd number of weirdoes, booth girls, shitty late game content that they say is new but really ain’t and mega heat wave that cannot be blocked! It can’t be that bad!

Dood, Current was off the chain. RARELY, do I, (We) have a chance to go out to a venue like that. I like Rock a lot so it was a treat and a shock! NOTE TO ALL! We need to explore SHINJUKU’s nightlife a wee bit more!

Yeah but we need to take a break and pick back up in October on the FRB. Take Tokido for example, that dood was in the Chaos Dimension for about and hour after that Mug Shot of JD. Besides with TGS/SBO next month everyone is going to busy.

Well when we have another FRB just come on by and get a game in. But bring some boozes!

Welcome to WTF land JAPAN! But don’t worry. After a while things get so weird that it’s normal here.

It should make you feel like using that Flow Chart Ryu DP Strategy! LOL!

hey guys, i’ll be in japan in october 10th -18th.
well actually im going to my homeland vietnam and then im gonna make a detour trip to japan.
i’ll post a msg closer to the date and hopefully you guys have some kind of SF gathering i could attend.
lataz!

Thanks yo, FRB and that club were fun as hell :tup:

I’m gonna shoryu fadc ultra the next dude looking at me wrong. I leave today so they ain’t gon catch ME! Later everybody, thanks for the good time, I’ll see you next time I’m in Nihon. But for now? Back to… Oregon.

Edit: You guys should hit up a house/DnB bar next time y’all go out.

That’s due to old traditional views: If you’re tanned, you’re perceived as being from a farming family aka low-income family. Although I guess nowadays women just want to have their “pure” snow white skin. I blame bitches like Koiyuki for this trend. :confused:
