I am on xbox forgot to say

<P>So, Casino, the original and final true Arcade in London is closing soon. Most cabs are gone but there is still a fairly lively SF2 scene (Hyper or Turbo depending on who has the keys to the cabinet)</P>
<P>Gamerbase is now OFF by the way.</P>
<P>This Friday there will be a final ST tournament. This may be the last EVER zone 1 Arcade fighting game tournament, and the last coin-op SF machine that has a scene around it.</P>
<P>So come down around 6pm, tourney should start at 7pm (organized by Sendo). Should all be filmed. And grown men in tears I’m sure.</P>

Hi all,

I live in Tunbridge Wells, Kent - about an hour on the train from London. I play SSF4AE on PC - my LIVE name is CheerfulEel1, feel free to add me! I’m up for whatever, but I’m still very new to the scene.

Hi guys, new to the street fighter scene looking for anyone to play with online (xbox) My gt is CyborgSpoon and i main Adon. Im not very good but im looking to improve!

Looking for some people who play Marvel at a decent level for casuals/training on the South coast, Brighton would be ideal. Sick of online :frowning:

Having said that, feel free to add me anyway GT: Sottle

Gamerbase in Trocadero is no more. That HMV is shutting down and its been stripped and sold, event the fixtures & fittings.

Casino arcade is still open, the only place for SF action.

There will be a new place for SF action and more soon opening next month for those of you who don’t already know. It’s called the Heart of Gaming and is due to open April 13th. Find more details here http://www.facebook.com/TheHeartOfGaming

Went past Casino arcade last night.

I can report its now closed. R.I.P the last fighting game arcade.

So sick of no players being around on Skullgirls on 360.
Gamertag: Solid Smithers
Add me and play me approximately NOW.

hey guys, i want your opinion on this;

now, if this plan bears fruition; i am looking at implementing a member’s fee of £30 per month, hopefully a 24-hour opening and a reduced price of £20 for students and the unemployed.

this of course, could also just be a pipe dream, but it would be beneifical to get some communal input into the potential for a midlands centralised gaming locale

kind regards community.

additionally, these inital calculations are not set in stone.

The new Heart of Gaming arcade is having its grand opening today. Primarily catering for fighting games it can be found in North Acton, zone 2.

There’s a group in Brighton that convenes every 2nd and 4th wednesday from 8pm at Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar. It’s mainly AE, but there’s a modest UMVC3 setup, as well as SSBM. I’m sure you’ll find some Marvel fans there to meet up with.

Come along next Wed for sure bro.

Hoping to head to the Heart of gaming tomorrow.

Anyone fancy a session of street fighter 4 come along.

Doesn’t matter if your no good.
