Jacob: Possibly in early 07, but it’s not looking good. If you’re thinking about importing, go right ahead.
JF: Well, don’t look for good arcades in Logan, just a few solid players and some tournament-friendly game stores. You’re closer to SLC than Logan, so you might see what’s going on at Crossroads Tilt or Gateway. There’s also Newgate Cyberstation in Ogden if you want Namco stuff. I think they have Dark Resurrection.
hey man theres like 5 of us that do stuff in salt lake cvs2 or whatever. we dont have to play competitive if you dont want to, we’re just all about playing. IM me and lets get something going. and yeah provo town centre sucks
Yea DR is there & I’m the only one who plays there.
Yea, it’s at Gateway man, lol
to Jizzz_frame:
PTC really isn’t that bad, it’s just not very Capcom-friendly. I went there this afternoon and played a little T5.1, plus walked past KOF XI, SC2, MvC2, and TTT (for tournament fighters.)
True, there isn’t any CvS2, but I only knew of one CvS2 machine in the entire state and that was in SLC at the now-defunct Crossroads Tilt, where almost no one played it anyway.
If you’re into less-tourney-worthy fighters, there’s MSH vs SF, MvC1, SF3:NG, SvC, and T4. Not bad, considering it IS Utah.
Anyway, I’m not sure if he’s still there, but a guy named Damon may still be the manager there. He held a few T5 tournaments around a year ago that brought out around 10 people or so (including me) but it died out soon after it started. He didn’t run the tournaments properly, which may be why it died so quickly. But at least it was something.
One arcade option in Utah Valley would be a place called The Ozz in Provo, at around 200 West and 500 North. I used to go there to play some cheap TTT a couple years ago (.25/game). Management has changed since then, though, and I have no idea what games they have there now.
Another place to check would be the Nickelcade on State Street in Orem. There’s the standard entry fee, but every game there is cheap. Again, I haven’t been there for a while, but there may be a few gems there worth checking.
To everyone:
Good to see the Bleyl’s and Ernie still exist. 
I still have school (18 more credits until I graduate) but I’ve been hitting the emulated ST pretty hard. If anyone can figure out how to play it online on MAME or whatever, tell me how to set it up and I’ll play you…if you’re still awake at 1am. That’s about the only time I have to get my game on nowadays. I’ve been practicing some N. Ken and Guile. Good times.
I’ve got a digital camcorder for all Logan tournaments now.
I’ve also got a new/sealed blackbox Tekken 5 for anyone who feels like giving me a PS2 version of Capcom vs SNK 2 in good condition (meaning box/cover/manual included and no noteworthy scratches on the disc). If that’s not enough, I’ll also pay your entry fees for one of my upcoming LFU events. Best offer I can make for those who want CvS2 events in Logan. Looked around tonight, and the only copy I could find was disc only at EB for $30. Fuck that shit.
danatorp: i know that ptc has things like mvc2. but you cant really play mvc2 when the screen is messed up and you dont have the characters unlocked. ttt is 50cents to play and has concave buttons. i mean, im not trying to hate, but the only thing going for it is 5.1 which is outdated. but a 10 people tournament is not bad. those can be fun too.
i have been to ozz to play pool. do they have anything besides ttt? and how is the machine?
i went to nicklecade a couple years ago, and it didnt look like they had too many fighters. but i dont know.
if there are any more tournaments let me know or if you are planning on going to one of the places we can meet up or something. im really bad though
Eh, it’s all good. I’m not too good at T5 anymore, either. At the moment, I’m more into ST than anything.
Maybe one of these weekends we can hook up with the Bleyls and their crew in SLC, get something going with them. I still don’t have a ton of time, what with UVSC, wife, kid, full-time job, excuse, excuse…
But if something in SLC happens, I’ll do my best to be there. Just give me enough notice. If it’s anything but old-school SF or T5, I’m going to look hella bad, though, just so everyone knows.
hey im going to uvsc too. hooray!
but yeah im down to go to slc sometime. who is in charge of these things? like who runs the tournament?
does crossroads have cvs2?
crossroads does not have cvs2 anymore, infact i dont even think crossroads has a tilt anymore. this place down by the Ecenter has a cvs2 machine but its always broke and nobody ever plays there. we usually do get togethers at our(the bleyls) house we are pretty flexable and always down for whatever just contact me at quarter_ace44@yahoo.com and we’ll get something together for sure
P.S dana quit being such a bookworm and lets get something together haha
Dude, seriously. How long have you guys been home and we haven’t thrown down with some ST or CvS2? That time we played some ST and MvC2 at my friends store was what inspired me to start making sticks (feeble as they were).
Good times!
you still make sticks or what? we made some a few weeks ago hahaha im so rusty but thats cool. anyways i got back from the mish and tried playing mvc2 and theres no way my reaction time is what it was, so we’ve been sticking to cvs2 and third strike with a little ST mixed in there. anyone here play mugen? i just DLed it and its pretty cool too
Hello Utahns … it’s been a while. Life took over and I haven’t been able to visit some sites online like I used to coughSRKcough. BTW Pat, try to find me online again sometime so I might be able to tell you when I could possibly be making a trip back out that way.
– Mike
anyway, it’s official that I’m moving back to Utah very soon. I’m currently awaiting my final decision on something with the SSA, and once that comes down … I’m gonna move into Salt Lake itself (got an eye on a place).
– Mike :lovin:
anyone want to get something going this week or so? i need practice suckas!! hey mike, whats your xbl tag? i don’t know if i’ve played you before?
so who all is up in logan? i was up there this weekend and there has to be people who play seeing as it is a college town. so is it just you pat or is there a solid following? we might need to set something up haha im sick of no competition
Logan is somewhat inactive right now. It’s just myself and Tony, and possibly a few guys I met in college (but couldn’t get ahold of on really short notice). To make matters worse, I’m working Saturdays now, but could potentially get one off in the event of a tournament or something. I’m still trying to work out how to go about that. Right now I’m thinking about having regular tournaments on a strange day like Sunday or Monday, with larger events every couple months on a Saturday.
if anybody plays ttt trafalga has a pretty decent machine. its set on one match though. >_<
I think it’s time to get back into my fighting game life, I live in Kearns now, I want to play somethin other than Age of Empires & shooters. hit me up at lorddubz420@yahoo.com, or Honored Negro on chat. I wanna get my old tricks back & all this sittin on our thumbs shit is gettin to me. DO SOMETHIN ALREADY, DAMN!!!:annoy: Either that, or face a nigga with nunchucks. LOL!!!:nunchuck:
This thread is a bit old and I apologize for bumping, but I am a Nebraska 3S transplant. I haven’t played seriously in 3 years, but I would love to relive my old days. Anyone playing 3S (arcade preferable, DC or XBox is fine if with sticks) in Utah still? Where at? etc.
I need to get back in the swing of things.
what part of utah? i guess the majority of us play up salt lake way but me and my 2 brothers just moved to orem so just name a place and we’ll accomidate haha. we play 3S cvs2 and ST mainly but are up for anything
