Fighting game poll

[Andy]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, if you read the headlines you know that we are getting some fighting game cabs in.

Our current lineup will be (In Japanese "Candy" cabs).

SF3S (Japanese Version)
CVS2 (Japanese Version)
GGX2#R (Japanese Version)

Our old American Street Fighter Cabinet will have a multi-game interface similar to an ultracade, but will feature the Japanese versions of:

Street Fighter Zero 3
Puzzle Fighter
Some KOF Games
+ more


So, our 4th candy cab is up for grabs. Let me know what you want and it will happen. I will take the poll online and combine it with store feedback to make the final decision, so let your voice be heard.

Thanks everyone!

Andy

[Dipstick]

MvC2 is winning this poll and it will not be close.

Due to this, I'm voting for MB:AC out of spite. ;)

Fighter's History Dynamite would be good for a laugh, though. Double German!

[Echoes of PAIN]

Owned, MA sucks, CT sucks, its alll about the RI BEASTS!!! Jjuice, Moun, Dwayne, Phou, Rich, and Andy (aka Q-master)

QUIT BEASTIN RHODE ISLAND!

[Stax Kazama]

MvC2 is a pretty common game, you can find it in almost any arcade. I'd like to either see Rumble fish 2 or Melty Blood because they're hard to find and aren't exactly games people can just go anywhere and play. ^_^"

BET IT! I'll play T5 now too...

[Junior G-Man]

Mortal Kombat II

Yeah, I said it.

edit: Holy crap, in Neo Geo BC, you can play as Mudman from World Heroes. too funny!!!!

[Anthony]

When I come to TGA I enjoy seeing the games I can't see anywhere else. So although I love MVC2, I am deff voting for The Rumble Fish 2

[ChadTower]

A Virtua Fighter game!

I'd be down with Punch Out, though. :D

[Echoes of PAIN]

BET IT!

hahaha, friggin East Coast's FAVORITE line. But i'll take you up on that bet, but it's you vs. Moun in GGXX#r 4/7 for 5 daras. haha :p Sorry josh, i dont play GGXX#r.

[Junior G-Man]

Man, I would love nothing more than a VF4: FT. But since we arent in Japan, Korea, or California, no one will play it
:(

[Dj. dp]

Wow its a tuff deciztion. I would have to say MvsC2 because its FREAKING AWeSOME!!!!
If I am messing up in spelling fix it because its late at night and I need to sleep lol.

[AminorThreat]

I'll play Mouen for money in #r!

[RhodyJIN]

I Love the line up. My question is:
Did Andy get
Rumble Fish, MvC2, MB AC... or are we choosing from the games that are GOing to be bought.

I vote for MvC2!

... but I never seen Rumble Fish... and I've seen MB for the PC... so I voted for Rumble Fish 2 just out of curiosity.

MY FINAL VOTE IS!!:

Rumble Fish 2, AND!!! MvC2 on another Cabinet with perfect 360 sticks and it would be sweet to have perfect buttons aswell, but I know how expensive they are so convex ones will have to do :p

... oh yeah, and Melty blood should get some love on the "Alpha3" interchangable cabinet.

[RhodyJIN]

BET IT! I'll play T5 now too...


I got $10 on a 4/7. Wassup Josh! :bear:

[Dekko]

Rubmle fish only kuz i love bass fishing!
MVC2 is gay shankar GAYYYY even tho you play feng its much less gayer then freakin mag, sent, and strm

[Anthony]

Rubmle fish only kuz i love bass fishing!

O_o The Rumble Fish 2 is a fighting game... not a... bass fishing... game.

[Junior G-Man]

HALIBUT vs RED SNAPPER!!! HEAVEN OR HELL!! DUEL 1!!! LETS ROCK!!!!!!!!!

[Garrett]

HALIBUT vs RED SNAPPER!!! HEAVEN OR HELL!! DUEL 1!!! LETS ROCK!!!!!!!!!

OMG Best post evarrr.

[Sage]

I like the fishing game but ill vote for Melty Blood since mvc2 sucks.

[AminorThreat]

I got $10 on a 4/7. Wassup Josh! :bear:
I get paid every two weeks and my first paycheck SUCKEDDDD, next week I will be throwing money around so I will stop by Warwick next tekken wednesday. We will indeed bet it, but let me warm up first I don't own the game and I'm not used to that cabinet.

[Garrett]

Rock the Melty Blood vote.

[Valcion]

I'd rather have something newer and a lot cooler than MvC2.

*votes NGBC* But MB:AC and Rumble fish 2 are both awesome as well :P

oh, and having old kof games on the old 3s cabinet will be HOT . Looks like i'm gonna need to practice up with Chris in KoF 98 :D. And Ramon in 2000. SOBAT~

[NekoNekoKakumei]

MvC2 looks too cartoony for my tastes, but then again, I'm not familiar with the gameplay, so graphics aside, the game may still kick ass. I don't play many fighting games these days and since I'm really only familiar with the MK and Tekken games, I'll refrain from voting. I will say though, I would go with the games that require less button-mashing and are more skill-based. Like focused on counterattacking (i.e. DBZ: Budokai) or whatever DoA3 was (granted, you can still button-mash in DoA3, but against a skilled player, you'll lose miserably).

Uh... uh... I agree with your point, but the games you named off... no. Just... no. If you think those are technical games, what do you have in mind as a button masher? Rise of the Robots?

(I third the vote for some VF4:FT action; the fact that there are all of two machines on the east coast should mean nothing -- that's two more machines here then there are for Rumblefish 2 and MB:AC. If anything, Andy likes going for rarity.)

Read my post again. I don't know shit about fighting games. Jeez! I've never even HEARD of "Rise of the Robots"!

[AminorThreat]

Can we get like tournaments every month too?

[ChadTower]

I would rule TGA in Ring King. :p

[NekoNekoKakumei]

So I played "Soul Caliber II" at MIT today while waiting for someone to finish on DDR Extreme. Is it just me or is it really easy? I played as Talim (sp?), the chick with daggers(?), and got to the end guy (the dude who's on fire and stuff) and almost beat him. And I've never played the game! And what would guys classify this kind of fighting game as? (i.e. button-masher, counter-attacker, etc.)

[Garrett]

You are right, the single player is quite simple, and can be won through button-mashing and a little guess-work. I think the game has a lot of strategy in a competitive setting, but otherwise it's a button-masher.

[Valcion]

You just used the cheapest character, that's all :P

[NekoNekoKakumei]

You just used the cheapest character, that's all :P
Hehe, I actually had a feeling I did... :gator:
edit I only chose her, 'cuz on a cursory glance she seemed to be the cutest.

[Junior Asparagus]

Talim isn't cheap. xD And who goes judging how good a game is on the strength of the AI? MvC2 still has the easiest AI in the universe.

Anyway, I voted for MvC2 because I like it. I know people want to vote for new and different things, but remember that everyone was clamoring for TGA to get SvC when it came out and a few months later no one played it anymore. I don't doubt that there are some fans of all of the games listed, but please try to make your decision on experience.

[NekoNekoKakumei]

I'm not judging anything, I'm just asking if SC2 is easy or if it was just a fluke that I nearly beat it my first try never having played the game before.

[Dipstick]

Only idiots were clamoring for SvC, even then.

I still hold my vote for MB:AC in confidence -- but I do not like MvC2 one bit. Besides, it's played the hell out. Don't be scared because you have to pick between the maid, the loli, and the schoolgirl. :o

....

NekoNekoKakumei: SC2 is an easy game to pick up, and the AI is retarded. With that said, wanna play for money? ;)

Can we get like tournaments every month too?
From my experience with Andy running events at TGA, you could probably get them every week if someone would be willing to run them. Hell, every day if someone was that maniacal. He's willing to give you all the action you can handle.

-Dippy

[NekoNekoKakumei]

NekoNekoKakumei: SC2 is an easy game to pick up, and the AI is retarded. With that said, wanna play for money? ;)

OK, seriously, why is everyone thinking that I'm insinuating that (a) I think SC2 sucks because the AI is retarded, or (b) I think I'm hot shit because I got to the end guy on my first try? I asked a simple question about the game, it got answered. We all agree that the AI is dumb. And from what I've seen, it looks like a decent game :) . And for the record, I suck at fighting games. I don't claim to be good at them whatsoever, which makes what I did a real shocker to me. In competitive play, I'd probably never win a game unless I started practicing and playing fighting games as much as I play DDR. Now I hope that settles it. :gator:

In other words, Dippy: NO.

[Echoes of PAIN]

ok heres the scoop:

When these cabinets get in, we're gonna have sessions every saturday most likely. Or even every other Saturday (except on tournie days).

Josh (Dizzy's Boobs, heh): Andy and I are planning on having tournies every MONTH . It'll have the usual rules and plans:

-Double elimination
-Pay per play (with yen tokens)
-Best 2/3 non-finals, 3/5 for semis+finals, and 4/7 for grand finals. (even CvS2, but it just depends on how many people enter and how smooth the tourney goes).
-$5-10 entry fee for EACH game.
-Pot of money: 1st place=70%, 2nd place=20%, and 3rd place=10%
-Prizes: Still deciding if theres a grand prize for best performance/best player. It all depends on HOW MANY people show up.


*Tekken 5+Street Fighter Turbo will be on console.*
*Matches will be recorded, and most likely put online through this website, but we'll just have to see about the bandwidth and what not.*


*We'll be hosting our next tourney in early JULY. Keep posted.*


To be very honest: F$%# MB:AC now, cuz its on PC! I've played it at ECCX when someone brought it and its three buttons? what is that?!?!?? and its pretty repetitive. But Rumble Fish 2 is different, so i'd vote for that. MvC2 SHOULD be in the arcade cuz its still playable, and still is pretty fun; even if its still about Storm, Magneto, Sentinel yaddayaddayadda......

But what i was also thinking about is having a Tekken 5 cabinet, who would go for that? Seriously, raise your hand and post up if thats a good idea. The thing is, it MIGHT just be sticks, no control pad. AND no cards..... so more than likely no one would go for it, right? just askin what people think.

[Valcion]

costs a bit too much for tekken 5, i think.

The following two statements show a contradiction in logic (unless you are arguing that MB:AC is a game not worth playing -- see below).

Your statements are also flawed: first off, the PC version is a much older revision. That's like playing Guilty Gear X and then declaring #R garbage. The button argument is also silly (It only has three buttons? So it must suck? No wonder no one plays VF in the US...), and also wrong -- there is a fourth button for parrying (although I can't blame you for missing that in MBR, since it's pretty damn worthless). Lastly, I'm willing to bet that some of the games you saw (if not all of them) had Master Chibi involved, who has the gameplan of "do IAD C with Satsuki and pray for mistakes." It is a problem with the game (in terms of having only one or two combos of any real use), especially with certain characters (like Satsuki and Nanaya), but again changes to the arcade version make this less of a problem.

-Dippy

[NekoNekoKakumei]

I was just about to say: what about "Tekken 5"?? I mean, every arcade and it's sister has a version of "Tekken 5", so it's nothing really that special and part of what makes TGA so awesome is that it has all these games that you won't find at your local quarter-munching arcade. Then again, maybe it's a good idea to have a few games (in general, not necessarily fighting games) that people (first time customers?) ARE familiar with (like the DDR games). But this is just me talking. Maybe this has never been an issue for first time people.

[Garrett]

I think most of the people who come to TGA are people who have heard about it, and it's specialties from other customers. The people who come in off the street are either going to be interested, or not. I don't know if it's a worthwhile investment to try to hold a single customers attention with a commonplace game to get them to stay for a while.

[AminorThreat]

Aw make tourneys weekly so this can be my occupation. =)

[Junior G-Man]

Melty Blood: I've heard several accounts that this game is sub-par. I know it has all the allure of "SUPAHKAWAIIANIMESCHOOLGIRLNUMBAHONE" and all, but MvC2 will probably work out better overall

Soul Calibur II: It's a decent game, too bad all you have to do to win is know how to guard impact.

SvC Chaos: Its a fighting game from SNK! What did you expect? It falls into the same category as the Mortal Kombat series: Its fun to play every once in a while, but not meant to be taken seriously.

............I still vote for Mortal Kombat II. ahahaha

[RushedDown]

i see that you dont doa and budokai are both garbage

[Anthony]

Budokai is not an arcade game, we can't put it in a Candy Cab. (I am not putting a PS2 in a cab)

And deep within, I HOPE IT DOES!!lol

Just to make a quick post. Andy and myself just made the order for the boards tonight, here is what we ordered: MvC 2, Rumble Fish 2, Street Fighter Zero 3 (not upper) and Super Puzzle Fighter 2X. If you are wondering why so many, it is because we just ordered 4 more Candy Cabs and they will be in in 2 weeks.

But yeah everyone up in woon. and everywhere else has a game freak in themselfs.
But Back on topic: I love the MvC2 game and I love wouldn't mind if anything else goes in the back.

[schnoo]

How very awful that this place wont get melty blood... has anyone in here seen videos of it!?! the fact that it may never see a home release warrants this sexy tokyo arcade should get it.

the combos are great, the sprites are NOT rehashed CPSII animation.

even RF2 would have been better.

well i hope the owner of TGA does get both then or at least a game with more a "japanese only" flare :)

[Ghost]

the game is BAD

[Dipstick]

the game is BAD
Why? I've heard this from you and Echoes (and a couple of other people privately), and now I am starting to wonder if I am completely losing it. You people make this game seem worse than Killer Instinct. The only thing that makes sense to me is that Andy played it in Japan and did not like it at all. If that is the case, then I am in no position to question it.

How very awful that this place wont get melty blood... has anyone in here seen videos of it!?! the fact that it may never see a home release warrants this sexy tokyo arcade should get it.

Well, TGA is getting RF2 -- and it's probably the only game I care about right now. The biggest problem I have with all of the games coming in (and this probably a statement about the community moreso than anything else) is that I have been seen these games for years. If I did not want to play MvC2 4 years ago, I still do not want to play it now. There are people who still play these games; I guess I am just frustrated with the stagnation of the genre.

Also, I am fairly sure MB:AC will never see a home release; the game is too small time for all involved to front up the several hundred thousand required to get it done.

-Dippy

[schnoo]

well, i am getting melty blood re act from the web woohoo and from the videos it kicks some super bum...

anyway... yet MVC2 is the granddaddy but whatever... i am all for higher resolution higher animated framerate...
and new characters, basically with a heavy combo system

[schnoo]

neo geo battle colleseum looks to have a lil bit of air juggling... i never could figure out how to do much of that in KOF series games... the combos seemed to slow other than the insance SUPERS

[RushedDown]

i got melty blood react
its fun

[Anthony]

Aiight, Games are bought so thread isn't really needed anymore.
