the UK fighting game scene

Zakuta: 3s chun deserves everything she gets and you know it! haha. but ST chun that’s a different story…

Snowman I know how you feel!! it takes me forever to get to london. that’s why it’s best for me to go when I know I can meet up with people. 5 and a half hours to sit and play the cpu on 3s = bad idea!

do they have any arcades in leeds?

Ranking Battles looking like a good possibility

Myself and a few others are working on starting RB’s again. I plan on doing one in august and taking things from there please check out link to thread below

Dammit I want the UK scene to boom again. Whenever I see any Jap or US vids I always wish shit like that was happennin in the UK, anyways watch this space. P

Ps - Zakuta I’ll be going troc tommorow so pass through if you can .

Will do - doesn’t look like I’ll be going out today (as planned), but i will try and make it tomorrow as I have some things to check up on in London.

Hey,

As i mentioned previously Leeds arcade scene kinda died out time ago, mill hill being the 2D arcade.

It’s all about Sheffield, Namco Wonderpark, Alpha 3. I’m there tomorrow saturday july 2nd from 12pm onwards. 50" screen, but
only other fighters are cvs:chaos :/, Soul Calibur 2, and Tekken 5.

Only other good arcade up north is nottingham, but tbh, ive never been. players from there (ben, justin) came up to sheffield one time, and i seem to remember my v-cody owning manz up. lucky v-sak and v-akuma don’t have infinites. in fairness, people not really playing 2d serious atm.

hey i’ve played this shit for TIME now, i was early teens when world warriors came out. been here ever since, bar super turbo times. lived in america for ten years, some kind bud and nice people out there. anyways, im chatting ‘pup’, i’ll be in arcade tomorrow if anyone, cough desk, polarity, are about.

anyhoo,

btw, sorry about matchmaking type thread flex in ‘fighting games’, other threads aren’t saying much. slow news day?

Guys please check this out, it’ll be great to get the UK scene going again

August gonna be a busy month for the fighting game fan

If only world leaders could resolve their diffrences over a game of 3s or maybe VF or summin, society would be a better place to live in.


I’d like to talk to anyone living in sheffield with regards to an arcade cabinet I’m looking for within that area. Please send me a PM if possible.

Congrats to CIV. Who did Hon use?

Hon used Hugo and switched to Chun Li for some matches. Considering he hasn’t played for a very long time, he did pretty well.

Congrats to C IV and everyone who came!

But please make a new thread (in Tournament Results forum I guess )… this thread sucks and needs to dead :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks.

Edit: Yah. Ignore me.

See you at Neo empire :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok the neo empire tourney is back on. Ignore the previous post :slight_smile:

See you there this Sunday.

heh - all my cabs are Japanese candys, kinda running a bit low now tho as a lot of em are sold, I’m even gonna start throwing a few cabs up form my personal collection up for sale soon so I can sort somemore cabs when I get back from Japan

Sheffield caterers on Walkley Lane. . . . weird guys, crappy UK wooden cabs and overpriced, they tried to sell me a bootleg SF2 WW for 90 ! ! ! and wanted 15 for some joysticks that were straight from a frankenstein cab, I’ll stick to seimitsus and sanwas thankya muchly

Anyone near Chelmsford Essex?

heh, they tried to sell me a 6 button cab (without a game) for 400.

If you haven’t already heard about it you should read this.

New RB on Sept 11th

Even tho’ this thread is deader than the 70’s, I’d still like to know the state of troc. Now my weekend’s are free if I may make a a special guest appearance, providing there some ppl to play against and converse with. The future of the UK SF scene is our hands.

Troc still sucks. You can hear people openly complaining about the state of the arcade.

The only somewhat positive addition was the second 3s cab.

That Chunkis guy was wasting our time.
