@foreigners- there are a lot of Koreans who play here, mostly tekken focused though… although GGear gets some attention sometimes…
yeah, there are a lot of Koreans here due to the cheaper english education
well, everywhere doesnt necessarily mean a good thing… for one, SFA3 cabs have been raped like shit… poor sticks, poor screen,poor buttons… same goes of 2002…
but the ones that do get -better quality- maintenance seem to be the T5 cabs or sometimes the 3rDStrike Cabs.
No. I was in Manila two weeks looking at every mall I went to looking for these games, since they’re some of the only games I play decently. Ask one of the Filipino gamers here to tell you where to go if you specifically wanna play some international talent in these games, or else you will be fucking dissapointed. I have heard Ali mall by Farmer’s is the best place for games, but I went to lots of different places in Manila without seeing 2k2 or SFA3. In fact I didn’t see any streetfighters other than Third Strike at SM Fairview.
I wouldn’t go to the Philippines for fighting games or you’ll be dissapointed. Better plan is to go because it’s a very cool country completely different than the states and maybe meet up with some SRKers and play some games there, cus it’s far from gaming mecha IMO.
Don’t believe ronninbuddha. A3 cabs are scarce. But Airthrow is right, you have to ask filipino gamers(like me btw) to know where the competition is.
Farmers AliMall are for players who crave SF3 3rd Strike Competition. SM Sucat is one and currently housing the current SF3 champion here in the Philippines.
SM North Edsa is for GG XX Slash scene.
Robinsons for the best MvC2 scene and MvC2 cabs can be found anywhere it’s only second to Tekken 5 cabs in terms of availability.
Tekkens are everywhere. I dont know where the best is unfortunately.
The best VF4 Final Tuned player here is currently playing Tekken 5 and World of Warcraft and he’s Korean too. If you wanna play I’ll give him a ring.
I forgot where the best KOF guys are right now. Seriously, they’re the 2nd most annoying gaming crowd to be with(They got beaten by the Guilty Gear freaks).
CvS2 crowd went to SM Sta. Mesa
SFA3 crowd went dead after the japanese guy left the Philippines after his 5+ years stay here. But before he left, I think he got beaten in the tournament by the people he taught how to play SFA.
I’m playing Wow right now with the current Soul Calibur champion here. They have a solid scene and I’ll talk to him if ever you want to play.
as long as no one uses Shin Karate, Red Arremer, Shin Akuma, Riot Iori I’m totally. - the secret chars. the game is decent. It’s just that GCS is not the koolest sub-system as say parrying, just defend, chain combos etc ya know?
Phoebe Cates is half Filipino? wow, the Japanese guy who plays SFA3 was my schoolmate, fuck the guy is a monster. The first and last time we played, he used V ryu agains my A ryu game was tied 1 win a piece and was not settled.
Yep, CVS2 crowd migrated to SM Sta. Mesa. SM North did a bad decision removing the machine. SM North also has a decent list of fighters, KOFXI is starting to build up and there are also some decent matches in 3S. GG is also decent plus hot chicks with fugly boyfriends is a bonus.
i hate that fucking game
im filipino and all the wetbacks play it at Cal State Fullerton
they swear i practice up on that shit game
all i do is pick Guile and Ken and cheap em
funniest shit
garbage game
BTW i have no choice but to play it MvC2 has only default characters and 3s is busted
