SO ANGRY I CAN'T EVEN SPELL POST CORRECTLY
alright, last friday we brought Hagen's Dreamcast along with kof98 to this "gaming society." i mean, it's a bunch of guys who gather every friday to play games. there's bound to be someone into kof that we can give a good challenge
we start it up -- the anime intro starts playing. it catches peoples' eyes. they start watching for a while
"wow, cool!"
"who's that?"
"that's a game?!"
then it begins
"games with good intros always suck"
"god, why is the intro so long?"
"the game must REALLY suck then"
this bickering went on throughout the whole intro
you know, that part didn't bother me too much. it was just the intro. i thought it was awesome, but that's just my opinion. they haven't seen the game yet. the intro finished and it was time to play. Hagen grabbed the controller and asked "who wants to give it a try?" Fatty accepted
(a little background info on Fatty. of course, Fatty's not his real name, but he's some annoying jackass that's one of the organizers of the "society." he claims he's a God at every video game, especially Guilty Gear, where his Ky is invincible. thus, he has earned the name Fatty -- short for Stupid Fat Fuck)
"can't beat my trio. Kyo, Terry, and Iori!" Hagen took him down
then more bitching from the "society" came in
"how old is that game?"
"look how crappy the graphics are"
"hahaha, why'd they bring that game here?"
now those statements pissed me off. i was about to stand up and bitch them out, when i glanced over to see what they were playing -- DOA .... Volleyball .... why waste my time with these stupid fucks? i swear, they are the very definition of graphic whore. they give "gamers" a bad name
after Hagen pulled Fatty's nuts off (with Robert, Iori, and Terry, i think), he ran off to play some roms on a laptop. at first, only three guys played against us. they weren't very good, but i'm sure they were new to the kof environment. at least they gave it a try
i admit, one of those three guys beat me (by a hair! eeeesh) but i was over-aggressive with Chizuru and Mai, while he played it smart and turtled. by the time he got to Benimaru, it was a little too late. after that, every challenge against us was just a slaughter. we only lost to eachother
later in the afternoon, Alex and Salvador came by
(a little background info on these two. Alex is cool. he's into SNK games. we met him a long time ago in the university arcade, back when CvS2 was popular. he always chose (ratio 1) Terry and (ratio 3) Rock when everyone else just stuck with Capcom guys. pretty good with them too
as for Salvador, he's ok, i guess. just a tournament monkey. i'm sure his name's on shoryuken.com somewhere. he's one of those "gamefaqs whores" -- goes to gamefaqs to look up combos; uses the same combos over and over; etc)
Alex was cool, but i expected a lot more from him. he's one of the main reasons why Hagen brought his DC that night. in the vs Hagen match, i'll let him fill in the info on that. but against me, Mature took out his first two guys (Terry and Kyo, i think), and about half the life on his last guy (Shermie). my Shermie just cleaned up what was left. Vice didn't get any action against anyone (other than Hagen) that whole night 
Salvador i didn't get to play. i got restless and joined the idiots in their Halo game (HAHAHA i'll tell the story about my first Halo experience later. i had a blast TKing, err, team-killing), so i'll let Hagen explain those matches as well. stupid, stupid Ratgate Salvador
(background info on Rategate: its real name is Stargate. you'll find it on shoryuken.com as one of the "BEST ARCADES EVER IN THE HOUSTON AREA .... EVER!"
it's a fucking rat's nest)
anyways, my whole point of this post is that i'm very disappointed about the reaction of kof to the gamers of U of H, which i'm guessing is the average American gamer. no wonder SNK games aren't popular in the states

nahh, the people that fought us were cool, except for Salvador and Fatty (aka Fatass). they're just idiots. the ones talking shit were off playing their boob game and Halo
i guess i expected better from fellow gamers. and after visiting this board for so long, i expected everyone else to share similar views. i'm just fucking ignorant
yep, Fatass is the one with the cap. his friend, the guy good with Bridget and Slayer, is Alex i think. i just know that guy wears red converse (like Terry's shoes). that's the only way i recognize him half the time
oh yea, Halo ... yea, i didn't know what i was doing, but i played nevertheless. at first it was ctf. my team lost. i spent half the time attacking my own teammates and exploring the level. the other half, i spent dying and waiting to respawn. but it was cool. every time i got in a tank, i squished a couple of my buddies. some guy was hovering behind me, saying, "the guys with green arrows are your allies." i kept thanking him for his "hints" while continuing to shoot at allies
when they played some rocket ffa game, peoples' true colors showed. i got third place without trying. i guess they're not used to fps games. it was pretty pathetic
well, not pathetic but ...
ehh, i guess i'm just angry. i really wanted a challenge last night

ugh, how dissapointing indeed. well, since you pretty much summed up everything, i'll go ahead and fill in everyone on my matches agaisnt alex and salvador.
first off alex, i really thought this
guy was going to destroy me, the way he described how good he was with terry. so he picks terry, kyo and iori. i pick robert, iori and kim. to sum things up, he beat my kim with his iori the first round, after that i just destroyed him with robert.
As for salvador, kinda the same thing, except i did the damage with iori (left robert for last, but didnt get to use him). i was pulling my combos of pretty well with iori, then he gives me this mess at the end of the match "why is iori so powerful?" so then he decides to play me again, and guess who he picks? iori, just because he saw me doing all these combos with him. so this time he manages to beat my iori with iori (i got overconfident). but instead of picking kim this time, i picked yamazki (had him second). and pretty much after that i beat all his guys with yamazaki. didnt get to use robert that time either (had him last again).
so yeah, now im now looking forward to visiting juan this summer even more so, i hunger for a good challenge, and i have a feeling he will give me one.
sidenote : JJJ gives me great matches, but the thing is we know each other so well and played each other so many times that sometimes we just start doing stupid things, like trying to counter each other, or turtle, so we end up just staring at each other during the match (crouching waiting to see what the other is going to do).

staring matches! yea, when you see me taunting, i'm either being an ass or i'm too scared to attack. these things happen too often in our matches
quote:
Actually, Stargate IS one of the best arcades in Houston. I went there during spring break since the Stargate people organized Texas Showdown, which happens to be one of the main Street Fighter tournaments in Texas. I didn't go to the U of H arcade, but my experience in Stargate was very good. The tournaments were very good organized, the people was very friendly and open minded when it comes to games, and there were two Neo Geo MVS arcades, one of them having KoF 2002 for people to play.
I understand that you just had bad luck with the U of H people (I have had to face people like "Fatty" in the past), but I really don't see why the Stargate could be called a rat's nest.
cool that you had a fun time at Ratgate. we, however, had a different experience. here's how it went
Hagen and i heard from U of H gamers and shoryuken.com about this magnificent arcade in Houston that was the place to be for competitive action. then we heard the name ....
Stargate
we imagined an MGM Grand, a Bally's, a Paris of arcade games. (yea, i've been to Vegas, heheh. i'm just listing casinos that i've been kicked out of.) a giant, beautiful palace that would fit its name .... Stargate!
so we look up the directions and we go down there. after driving through one of the shittiest neighborhoods in Houston (HAHAHA, i drove down the wrong side of the street and nearly hit a few cars. but that's another story), we get lost and decide to stop at a strip of buildings near the address. while walking around, we see this backroom with a wallscroll hanging up in the window. could this be it? "maybe it's just a small entrance. i'll bet the inside is fantastic," i told myself
we walk in. the place is smaller than my living room. the first thing we see? SOME DUDE GETTING A HAIRCUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. i mean, come on! "i need a haircut. i think i'll go to the arcade"
i let that slip. "if the place is cool, who cares if this guy's getting a haircut in it." we turn back to the entrance and people are playing on this old Street Fighter II machine with the "cabinet" (is that what it's called?) exposed. the bums were playing for free
i let that slip too. "they must be regulars. maybe one day they'll give us free credits too." so we walk past the guy getting a haircut and we go to the back of the arcade, roughly 6 feet away from the entrance. we see two machines there. they're weird Capcom puzzle and sidescroller games that i've never seen before! of course, i wanted to play, so i take out my quarters and i approach the machine. what happens? some jerkoff quickly goes in front of us and unplugs both machines. he then starts working on the back of it like he's fixing something
we peek in the back room and we see some bums passed out on a couch, surrounded by trash -- a bunch of empty soda cans/bottles and empty snack containers
so great. we're standing there, on some guy's hair, in the middle of a closet-sized room, in one of the shittiest areas in Houston, surrounded by a bunch of tattered wallscrolls and posters
we decide to leave
i turn back to look at the haircut guy one more time for a good laugh and what do i see? that jackass that was fiddling with the machines in the back just happened to turn them back on as we were leaving. fucking dickhead
i dunno how you had a fun time there. we were leered at, and when we attempted to play some games, they rushed to unplug the machines. i guess you need some special membership or something. no good Ratgate
by the way, the U of H arcade sucks as well. i'm surprised they kept Project Justice. there's some Third Strike machines and CvS2, but that's about it. there's also Street Fighter Alpha 3 but both joysticks are so messed up. the sluts won't fix it. it's more of a pool/bowling place with a bunch of shitty arcade games littered at the entrance. who here's into deer hunting games? well, we've got the place for you! i remember Hagen asking some guy there "how about getting some SNK games in here?" his reply? "we've got one right there," as he points to CvS2 >:o

knowing alex, i wouldn't of, for the simple reason that he picked characters no one picked, and it was refreshing to see someone beat characters such as sagat, bison (pscyho guy) and blanka with a rarely used and difficult to master rock. although hardly anyone picks rolento.
It's always commendable when people use characters that people typically don't use, but is Rock really that underused over where you're at (Houston?)? Here in SoCal Rock is still one of the most used characters...
you'd be surprised, it's rare to see anyone pick an SNK character period. Well, not as much now, but at the beginning when we first met him (alex) was when no one picked SNK period. Nowadays you will see a few people maybe pick terry or kim, heck even now hardly anyone picks rock.

Stargate IS the best arcade in Texas. Hands down, no arguments. For the most part they have every fighting game worth playing, the best players in Texas to play with, snacks and drinks to buy if you get hungery at the arcade, and a Tea shop next door to boot. Theres no reason to complain about stargate becuase you arent going to find a better arcade in Texas, It deosnt exist.
You probably caught them on a bad day. Try showing up during one of the weekly tournies, im sure there will be a good amount of people there, and i doubt there will be someone getting a haircut in the middle of the room(that was a rare occurance).There arent many KOF players there, only a handfull, but still, its better then none.

My local arcade (called Glady's, located in San Bernardino) actually has a refreshing variety of characters that are used. Most used characers: Sagat (yeah that's a given), Guile, Ryo, Rugal, Hibiki, Rock, Terry, Bison and Cammy. There's also a couple of regulars who have a mean Yun (surprise!) and Iori.
I tend to stick with the guys that I can do something with: Ratio 2 Raiden and Zangief. While I'll use anyone and everyone when playing by myself or playing against someone in a not-very-competitive way, but if I'm trying to win this is my team. And I'm the only one around here who uses them. I don't win very often, but I manage to do some damage...

SO ANGRY I CAN'T EVEN SPELL POST CORRECTLY
alright, last friday we brought Hagen's Dreamcast along with kof98 to this "gaming society." i mean, it's a bunch of guys who gather every friday to play games. there's bound to be someone into kof that we can give a good challenge
we start it up -- the anime intro starts playing. it catches peoples' eyes. they start watching for a while
"wow, cool!"
"who's that?"
"that's a game?!"
then it begins
"games with good intros always suck"
"god, why is the intro so long?"
"the game must REALLY suck then"
this bickering went on throughout the whole intro
you know, that part didn't bother me too much. it was just the intro. i thought it was awesome, but that's just my opinion. they haven't seen the game yet. the intro finished and it was time to play. Hagen grabbed the controller and asked "who wants to give it a try?" Fatty accepted
(a little background info on Fatty. of course, Fatty's not his real name, but he's some annoying jackass that's one of the organizers of the "society." he claims he's a God at every video game, especially Guilty Gear, where his Ky is invincible. thus, he has earned the name Fatty -- short for Stupid Fat Fuck)
"can't beat my trio. Kyo, Terry, and Iori!" Hagen took him down
then more bitching from the "society" came in
"how old is that game?"
"look how crappy the graphics are"
"hahaha, why'd they bring that game here?"
now those statements pissed me off. i was about to stand up and bitch them out, when i glanced over to see what they were playing -- DOA .... Volleyball .... why waste my time with these stupid fucks? i swear, they are the very definition of graphic whore. they give "gamers" a bad name
after Hagen pulled Fatty's nuts off (with Robert, Iori, and Terry, i think), he ran off to play some roms on a laptop. at first, only three guys played against us. they weren't very good, but i'm sure they were new to the kof environment. at least they gave it a try
i admit, one of those three guys beat me (by a hair! eeeesh) but i was over-aggressive with Chizuru and Mai, while he played it smart and turtled. by the time he got to Benimaru, it was a little too late. after that, every challenge against us was just a slaughter. we only lost to eachother
later in the afternoon, Alex and Salvador came by
(a little background info on these two. Alex is cool. he's into SNK games. we met him a long time ago in the university arcade, back when CvS2 was popular. he always chose (ratio 1) Terry and (ratio 3) Rock when everyone else just stuck with Capcom guys. pretty good with them too
as for Salvador, he's ok, i guess. just a tournament monkey. i'm sure his name's on shoryuken.com somewhere. he's one of those "gamefaqs whores" -- goes to gamefaqs to look up combos; uses the same combos over and over; etc)
Alex was cool, but i expected a lot more from him. he's one of the main reasons why Hagen brought his DC that night. in the vs Hagen match, i'll let him fill in the info on that. but against me, Mature took out his first two guys (Terry and Kyo, i think), and about half the life on his last guy (Shermie). my Shermie just cleaned up what was left. Vice didn't get any action against anyone (other than Hagen) that whole night
Salvador i didn't get to play. i got restless and joined the idiots in their Halo game (HAHAHA i'll tell the story about my first Halo experience later. i had a blast TKing, err, team-killing), so i'll let Hagen explain those matches as well. stupid, stupid Ratgate Salvador
(background info on Rategate: its real name is Stargate. you'll find it on shoryuken.com as one of the "BEST ARCADES EVER IN THE HOUSTON AREA .... EVER!"
it's a fucking rat's nest)
anyways, my whole point of this post is that i'm very disappointed about the reaction of kof to the gamers of U of H, which i'm guessing is the average American gamer. no wonder SNK games aren't popular in the states
Youch.. what a downer. It sounds really hard to have fun in that environment. One of my BIGGEST pet peeves is using combos and moves repeatedly, over and over and over again. That really ticks me off. I'm actually a fair fighter. After I've taken enough life I'll actually back off from them and let them have a chance. But I'm hell-bent on fairness. LOL.
I can't STAND it when people are overly critical of things- especially my favorite games. I'm capable of keeping my mouth shut against their silly comments but even so, it annoys me a lot. I don't make fun of your games, don't make fun of mine. LOL. Fair enough, eh?
It sounds like it was a major bummer. ^_^

Fatty has been annoying UH gamers for years, I personally can't stand him myself.

The haircut story sounds pretty funny, the owner sometimes would get his haircut by his younger brother. It sounded like he really didn't want the place open yet. As for "bums" sleeping in his office, he often had family members come over and visit, or help him move cabinets, clean, etc. Back before he opened a Lollicup franchise he didn't have regular hours and opened up real late because usually he didn't close til real late. Which at that time was ok because most of the gamers didn't show up til after work, dinner, etc. roughly about 8 or so.
Now that the location is on the other side of the complex, and he's partnered it with his other business, Stargate has more regular hours. 11am-Midnight, Mon-Sat, sometimes later on Friday and Saturday, and 11am-10pm on Sunday. Closing time for Stargate sometimes varies due to crowd.
Stargate has been labeled best arcade in Texas because of how its games have working controls, on-site tech, and its level of comp on the popular fighting games. If you were truly hardcore like you and your friend like to imply, ya'll would be fiendin new comp, more comp, etc.
Back when MvC2 first came out, me and my friends were driving all over Houston searching for that game playing at almost every arcade that had people playing. I remember back at Greenspoint Mall Tilt, those guys used to talk so much shit(actually they still do sometimes) that it was almost stupid to play there, but when you really love to play competition you learn to block out that shit and take pleasure in beatin them down. If they wanna throw down hate on you or your game, fuck it, give them the beat down and smile in their face and say, "take it like a little bitch!"
I know Sal and Alex, they're both cool in my book. Alex is more of a GGXX player nowadays I believe, and Sal is more of a CvS2/3rd Strike player. From what I can see you are more of a KoF player, do you play KoF2k2? Or how about other fighters, MvC2, GGXX, 3rd Strike, Alpha 3, CvS2, Soul Calibur 2, Tekken, etc? I mean if you are really for comp, I'll name what games they got at Stargate right now, pick a day and time, and I'll see if I can find some guys to give you some comp at those games. Best days that I know of are Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday after 6 or 7.

LOL! it seems you (JJJ) have angered the world by taking a shot at stargate, we even have new members coming in to defend it! Dont take offense ranma : )
but maybe you are right, maybe we went at a bad time, hopefully if i ever visit there again, they wont unplug the machines when i go near them.

HAHAHA yeah! i'll think twice before i attack someone's barbershop again
Ranma, i've played (or have been wanting to play) all of the games you listed. the only games i play "religiously" nowadays is kof and the garou titles. it'd be nice to see some Last Blade and Samurai Showdown competition, but still i dunno. i've gotta say i'm still pretty traumatized from my last visit. and i don't wanna get in a wreck trying to get there again. the streets down there are insane -- almost as bad as San Antonio
but a guy who shares our views on Fatty can't be that bad. we might show up one day when we've got the time. i'll tell you in advance, though, that we can't do shit with the joystick. Hagen has the better control, but i get slaughtered by little kids, jumping and doing ridiculous things in a pathetic attempt to do a simple fireball motion
anyways, seeing us play with the stick will be a good laugh. if and when you guys get SvC, i'll definitely reconsider visiting
i'm a man who's sick, but i've got class
'cause you only get respect when you're kicking ass

staring matches! yea, when you see me taunting, i'm either being an ass or i'm too scared to attack. these things happen too often in our matches
Actually, Stargate IS one of the best arcades in Houston. I went there during spring break since the Stargate people organized Texas Showdown, which happens to be one of the main Street Fighter tournaments in Texas. I didn't go to the U of H arcade, but my experience in Stargate was very good. The tournaments were very good organized, the people was very friendly and open minded when it comes to games, and there were two Neo Geo MVS arcades, one of them having KoF 2002 for people to play.
I understand that you just had bad luck with the U of H people (I have had to face people like "Fatty" in the past), but I really don't see why the Stargate could be called a rat's nest.
cool that you had a fun time at Ratgate. we, however, had a different experience. here's how it went
Hagen and i heard from U of H gamers and shoryuken.com about this magnificent arcade in Houston that was the place to be for competitive action. then we heard the name ....
Stargate
we imagined an MGM Grand, a Bally's, a Paris of arcade games. (yea, i've been to Vegas, heheh. i'm just listing casinos that i've been kicked out of.) a giant, beautiful palace that would fit its name .... Stargate!
so we look up the directions and we go down there. after driving through one of the shittiest neighborhoods in Houston (HAHAHA, i drove down the wrong side of the street and nearly hit a few cars. but that's another story), we get lost and decide to stop at a strip of buildings near the address. while walking around, we see this backroom with a wallscroll hanging up in the window. could this be it? "maybe it's just a small entrance. i'll bet the inside is fantastic," i told myself
we walk in. the place is smaller than my living room. the first thing we see? SOME DUDE GETTING A HAIRCUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM. i mean, come on! "i need a haircut. i think i'll go to the arcade"
i let that slip. "if the place is cool, who cares if this guy's getting a haircut in it." we turn back to the entrance and people are playing on this old Street Fighter II machine with the "cabinet" (is that what it's called?) exposed. the bums were playing for free
i let that slip too. "they must be regulars. maybe one day they'll give us free credits too." so we walk past the guy getting a haircut and we go to the back of the arcade, roughly 6 feet away from the entrance. we see two machines there. they're weird Capcom puzzle and sidescroller games that i've never seen before! of course, i wanted to play, so i take out my quarters and i approach the machine. what happens? some jerkoff quickly goes in front of us and unplugs both machines. he then starts working on the back of it like he's fixing something
we peek in the back room and we see some bums passed out on a couch, surrounded by trash -- a bunch of empty soda cans/bottles and empty snack containers
so great. we're standing there, on some guy's hair, in the middle of a closet-sized room, in one of the shittiest areas in Houston, surrounded by a bunch of tattered wallscrolls and posters
we decide to leave
i turn back to look at the haircut guy one more time for a good laugh and what do i see? that jackass that was fiddling with the machines in the back just happened to turn them back on as we were leaving. fucking dickhead
i dunno how you had a fun time there. we were leered at, and when we attempted to play some games, they rushed to unplug the machines. i guess you need some special membership or something. no good Ratgate
by the way, the U of H arcade sucks as well. i'm surprised they kept Project Justice. there's some Third Strike machines and CvS2, but that's about it. there's also Street Fighter Alpha 3 but both joysticks are so messed up. the sluts won't fix it. it's more of a pool/bowling place with a bunch of shitty arcade games littered at the entrance. who here's into deer hunting games? well, we've got the place for you! i remember Hagen asking some guy there "how about getting some SNK games in here?" his reply? "we've got one right there," as he points to CvS2 >:o
geeze that sounds so bad. Hair cut in the middle of the room? Ugg, For some reason that makes me think of people walking around in public with untucked in shirts and their under pants showing and Bubb Rubb woooowooooo
