the UK fighting game scene

Ignore BK the reason problem is the Staff refuse to let Hon run another tourny there again - and after the abs controversy who can blame em.

Which controversy? The only controversy I know about was in regards to some things at abs but none of them should be of concern to the funland staff. There have been how many RBs at troc? Why should it be a problem all of a sudden? :confused:

Anyway I hope a new season starts soon.

I think that specific problem has more to do with the fact that the staff are prats and don’t want to change the machine settings, than to do with any controversy.

Well chef told me he was banned from doing tournys at troc anymore. So if theres more to it outside of the absolution incident then fair enough.

Hey where am I on that list? I did two tournaments in London!

ahh this thread is still alive cool.

Can anyone tell me if their are any kof neowave machines in the uk? if so were?

Also what games exactly are at this nottingham namco world?

And one more thing (Uncle)
What games are at Star City as i havent been their in a long while, im guessing tekken 5 is their anything else?

Nottingham namco has sf alpha 3, street fighter 3 3rd strike,Kof 2002 and Tekken 5.Theres ppl to challenge there every day inbetween 2 and 6 oclock…There is only one decent 3rd strike player tho the arcade only got hold of the machine last month.

lol you must live in london and I must see your fake british passport before you can be on that list MUHAHAHAHA!!!

otherwise you, fabian and Billykane would be on it obviously :slight_smile:

There is only Tekken 5 at Star City, I haven’t seen decent competion for it though…

I see alright man thanks for the info, yea one of my friends got the card thing for tekken 5 but that was up notts.
Yea they might be one good player up their some chinese dude named Will never meet him just heard he was really good on tekkens.
Ahh the ps2 version comming soon so i guess people will forget about the arcade when its out.
Still aleast they have it.

I think all the UKers should join faceparty, everyone add the best!

Yeah it seems troc management don’t want any more tournies.
My guess is that they are fed up of us continually asking for joysticks to be fixed (wow we are really taking liberties asking for stuff to be in working order _), but I dunno really…

Angel arcade seems like a good venue, if the sticks can be replaced. The 3s machine is good (50" japanese cabinet) but the place is pretty small unfortunately. The manager was already trying to organise a 3s tournament himself, so he should be friendlier than troc!
Raju: nah I haven’t called him yet. I do it soonish though (hoping i haven’t lost his number, lol).

Anyway since this thread seems to be about general fighting games, I’ll mention that Ryan Hart organises regular ranking battles for Tekken 5 in Namco Station, Westminster. The next one is Sunday 6th Feb 2005 at 5PM. I would recommend you all to come if possible, even if it’s just to watch!

And lastly, as kaikram mentioned before, everyone please join the www.neoempire.com forums, it’s tailored toward the UK scene, and we need it to grow!

The Birmingham guys have a “Dojo Night” at Star City every other Monday from 7pm onwards for Tekken 5, where you chip in 7 and get freeplay/tournament for most of the night.
They are trying to get ps2 controller ports for the machine too (they haven’t got them yet, but hopefully in a couple of weeks…)

I think most of the top birmingham tekken players (look out especially for Veggy and Decschief) go there on Mondays.
You can check details on the sticky here: http://tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=71222

Where’s star city excatly?

Decschief has posted the address of Star City Megabowl in Birmingham here:

Click on Enter, then click on News, then you should see a flyer near the bottom.

Anyway see you guys at Namco Station (London) this Sunday for Tekken 5 if you can make it.

@ chef
well thats good news even though im not into tekken i might tell some of my m8s so did this actually happen i read it was on the 24th have things continued? i mean is their one next monday or was that date just for a tourney?

Yeah you all should sign up to that site chef talked about. I don`t know why u lot come here. This is an american site nothing to do with uk or europe.

Thts because that other site sucks.

Due to the site being upgraded & updated go to

www.neoempire.co.uk to go to the forums

Here’s a suggestion, go to another site then if think peeps who live in Europe shouldn’t come here and put it this European video game sites just as good or popular as American ones.
