The United Kingdom Thread - V1/2011

There’s an unofficial 25th Anniversary tournament in Manchester’s HMV gamerbase this Saturday. Games are AE, 3S (OE) and ST.

Sign ups for the day finish as 11am, and the day begins at 12. It should be fun. Gonna make a day of it. I’m gonna try and head down (Mega bus is £20 return from Middlesbrough), and is about a 5 minute walk from the event.

Let me know if you’re heading down, and we can arrange a Boro beatdown on these chumps haha (if you’re from Boro obviously, everyone else, we can just go to Mcdonalds).

Does anything happen in Portsmouth? I met a couple of guys who play occasionally but nothing other than that. Would love someone local to practise SF4 and SFxT with.

Hi i recently joined SRK nice ta meet ya’ll

games: SSF4 AE

i play lots of fighting games; sometimes even the neo geo games on my pc but right now i wanna get the fundamentals down and learn how to play fighting games the right way xD

Hi, I would just like to know if there are any Tekken Tag 2 arcade cabinets in London and if so, the whereabouts of their location. It doesn’t matter which part of London.

None at all.

Next best thing is the console version played at Gamerbase. There will be a new London arcade starting soon which will have consoles built into arcade cabinets, so that will be as good as it will ever get for the UK.

None, really? I’m aware there are console set ups but I’m looking for the arcade experience. Tekken 6 at least?

Tekken 6, yes. Though can’t remember if it’s BR or not.

Casino arcade next to Goodge Street tube. No one really goes there any more in favour of Gamerbase instead (cheaper and much more convenient) so you are unlikely to find any competition aside from CPU.

where in oxford?

GT: Yerwat
Location: Cockermouth, Cumbria

Still looking for players down south. Even if we can’t meet up I’d love some friends to chat with on Skype while we play or whatever.

Happy New Year gamers!

I’m looking to set up casual matches for street fighter 4 AE. If you live in London and are interested send me a PM or contact me on PSN via NewEra07. I live in South East London. At the moment I only have a PS3 set up. Will get a Xbox soon enough.

Heya started a website to pinpoint the all the diffrent locals, regionals (medium sized tourneys) and majors in the uk. Also hope to promot content like streams and youtube channels from the fgc in the uk. http://fightinggamesuk.co.uk/
Site will hopefully be launched in full next week sometime until then im on lining up scenes and tourneys to main page as soon as we go live. Im just looking for permissions before i post stuff too.

This wasnt supposed to be a replacment for NE but rather a helpfull tool to aid the UK scene, if you want to get your scene on it please get in touch.

NeoEmpire will be back up soon, but there should be room enough for two or more UK based hubs. Good luck with the site.

how come its been offline so long?

normally its off for like a day ort wo, but its been like a month?

Server maintenance and other restructuring.

Hey guys,

Ages since my last post, but with neo empire down…

Anyway, looking to get in some online sets or private lobbies to level up. I only use Ryu which means I spend most nights playing mirror matches so I thought I’d appeal to the peeps here on SRK hoping I can round up some other character players. Based between Bedford and London at the moment so online is my best bet until I can get back to WSO! I’m trying to be online almost every night from about 7 or 8pm, as I’m really getting back into this game. If anyone else out there is looking for longer more consistent sets online feel free to reply here or message me on XBL. My Gt is: ThePugz83

Hit me up!

AE2012, in case it wasn’t obvious.

Peace

Be nice to see more UK players get into VF this year. Game works a treat over Live, just 1200 points… can get a decent stick off Amazon too for around a ton.

Garhling man, you always seemed like a stand up bloke. Now that NE has wound down, maybe take more of an active role over at VFDC? You know makes it sense :wink:

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find VF absolutely splendid. I’m terrible at it, but it’s like crack.

NE will reappear, I just have no idea when! Thanks for reminding me about VFDC, when my net connection is more stable I’ll pay that place an overdue visit.
