UPDATE: 300 Yen Free Play Street Fighter IV in Shibuya

FACENC · 2010-06-22T09:18:46.000Z

Damn, that fucking sucks. Bummed out that Shibuya SportsLand will be gone by the time I get back to Tokyo in September.

I’d donate if it could help keep this place open. This was one of my favorite spots, and one of my favorite memories last year was teaming with the owner (never caught his name) and Vanao in a random 3s 3v3.

Just thought of sharing that Ive recently discovered a chat room for Japan SSF4(PS3) and its really awesome since its a community with a good number of active players ranging from total beginners to top players(zangitan frequents the chat, and i guess a bunch of other people im not sure who they really are), ive been getting good practice with a lot of characters that i dont really get to fight often(good ones too), and i get to ask questions and discuss on how to improve my gameplay etc, its a bonus that most of them are real nice too, especially towards beginners/people learning the game or matchup, so far i havent experienced any shit talkin or people givin destructive criticism lol(im sure there are times where they do that)… granted the whole thing is in japanese and sometimes it can be hard for me to grasp the content when the chat moves too fast.

They also hold online ranbats(beginner/open) every week…

Damn that’s really nice! Too bad I don’t know Japanese or I would be ALL ON THAT seriously. That’d be a lot more help than the character forums cause you get to talk to grandmasters about specific issues.

Also, if you’re in Japan, go to Shibuya’s Shinjuku Sportsland. Seriously, you won’t regret it. It is awesome, the owner is fuck awesome, it’s cheap as hell on Thursdays/Sundays, and you will get A LOT BETTER. I have lost count of how many grandmasters I’ve seen there: TKD, Mago, TUC, Neurosis, PPN, Kirisuto, Fuudo, etc.

Uhh… sorry if that’s what it seemed like I was implying. I didn’t want to make a double post. I was trying to tell everyone who would be reading the thread to go. Obviously I knew you were a regular haha, you’ve made countless posts in this thread.
Anyway, yeah the owner told us it’d be closing around mid August.

HFX · 2010-06-28T19:22:43.000Z
