I am unfortunately not going to be able to make it. (Too much money right now) Sorry. Maybe later.

Any update on the cab lineup? If Futari is on the list I'll definitely try to make it down. Would be nice to watch a pro 'doing the business' with Mushihimesama too (so hopefully LUN is still going).

Update is; Mills was supposed to do a switcheroo on the cabs today, but work called him in. We were down the arcade on Friday night but Bob rushed off

.
I'll get the cabs sorted on this coming weekend.

Ketsui is acting strange difficulty-wise. It says 'Normal' on the credit screen but plays like its on Hard. I'll try and get it sorted ASAP.

Mulletgeezer might just bring Futari down for the Meet.

Mush 1 will go back in this week, all things going to plan

.

Strikers will go in too for Mills.

-----------------
Could I have an update from Italy? Who's coming?

hey, out of curiosity, how much does 1 credit cost at the London arcade ?

my noob friend wants to know how many games he can afford ;D

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 8:56 pm

Cost is generally £1 for 3 credits or less.

Progear is now back in a large sitdown cab.

The rest are going in this weekend, if all goes to plan.

I'll do my best, I'm fairly certain I'll be able to bring it though possibly only for one day (sunday), two at the very most.

Ah good! Hope you don't mind playing on the 2P side?

Player one's stick is configured to 4-way. I'll tray to get that fixed.

WARNING ! A shmupmeet is approaching fast !

Perhaps we should start discuss the details of where and when we meet on the 10th starting now. I guess we meet directly at the arcade ? What is it's address ? My 2 friends will most likely come along on the first day, so there'll be 3 Frenchies ;D

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 8:57 am

Masamune from Team Mills has this update:-

"sorted some things out in casino yesterday...

Mush has replaced Raiden Fighters Jet.

Ketsui Reset to default. (It was on Hard for some reason

).

Progear P1 joystick fixed to 8-Way.

And DDP remains."

...So
LUN has his Mush
BR1 has his Dodonpachi
& Jck has his Storm of Progear

The rest of us can show our inadequacies on Ketsui, with new Sanwa stick (which sticks out too high from the console

).

I have the same feeling when I play a shmup with a Sanwa, but they're absolutely perfect for 2D beat'em ups. Thanks for the update, great news (need to practice a LOT with default settings ^_^'')!

Prome: IIRC Casino arcade is located near the Goodge Street station. Let's get togheter there from 6pm on, I say.
Btw, where are you guys staying? And whene do you arrive precisely? We'll exchange our mobile number by PM next week just out of security

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 5:58 pm

We're staying at Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly Backpackers youth hostel). We're arriving on the 9th around noon. We'll probably have 1 working cellphone with us but not 100% sure yet, I'll tell you when I know ^^ I don't have one myself, it's one of my friend's~

By the way, which fighting game are there in this arcade ? Any Dead or Alive ? :D

LOL another plasmo! Get a damn cellphone guys, we're in 2007

Dead or what? You're french, play some Third Strike with us instead. We're poor scrubs but with a big heart

Anyway we'll be there from the 10th on. See you guys at the arcade that evening!

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 6:31 pm

Yeah wouldn't mind playing some third strike. I never played it though, does it play at least a tiny bit like Marvel vs Capcom ? Maybe I should give it a try under Mame and learn some moves before the meet -.-;;

Masamune · Post by **Masamune** » Sun Aug 05, 2007 2:47 pm

dead or alive in the arcade?

its been a console series since doa2 in the 90's.

In a clockwise order, casino's fighting games are...

Tekken 5: DR
Street fighter 3: Third Strike
Hyper Street Fighter 2: Anniversary Edition
Capcom vs SNK 2
Tekken Tag Tournament
Marvel Super Heroes
Marvel vs Capcom 2
King of Fighters '98
Street Fighter Alpha 3
King of Fighters 2002

PS: Dont play 3s, its a scrubs game.

LUN you're italian, play TEKKEN!!

It's the same thing 3s players always say about Tekken

LUN you're italian, play TEKKEN!!

No problem, I've played just a little bit of T5. You'll teach me something this week end, but I don't think Tekken will overcome 3s in my short (well, one game, lol) list of preferred beat'em ups

Ah, you were in Rome last week end, right? That's always a great event. Probably I'll be there in october for the small (but good, for italian standards) 3s tourney, hope to see you there too!

Small update for PROMETHEUS:- Progear is in a large sit down cab at 2 credits for 50p - cheap!

nice for my friends perhaps but I don't think I'll play it, it's one of the Cave games I don't really like. £1 / 3 credits is good for me anyway, I got this youth hostel & trip for pretty cheap so I don't mind spending UltraCa$h in the arcade ;D My friends will mind the price though since they'll probably get owned by any shmup really fast -.- Btw there may be 4 of us instead of 3 on the first day because we'll meet up with another friend who is living in London during the month of August.

I'll probably mostly play DDP, this game is the reason why I play shmups ^^! Can't believe I'm gonna see an actual DDP cab!!

^Better than that-->BR1 the DDP Master should be flying in. He did a loop 2-6 on it during the last Meet. On a joystick he's not used to at all.

Also, you'll be able to see how LUNardei reaches the last stage/Boss on ULTRA.
Watch Jck on Progear, plus LUNardei is not too shabby at Ketsui (when he's in practice).
The usual 2 loop ALL on Strikers 1945 from Mills will probably occur at some point in the Trocadero arcade as well.

An then there's FUTARI

maybe

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 12:32 pm

Uhm, I think we're all out of practice at every game at the moment, except Jck at Progear. But there's time to fix everything during the next week and hopefully even a bit before!

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 1:25 pm

Definitely looking forward to seeing these guys play their games !
Man, I'll definitely play Mushi and Ketsui, and I'd love to play Futari too. I haven't been able to play any of the Caves that aren't playable on MAME, and they look kinda awesome O_O!!

TOP SECRET INFO HIDDEN

Kaede · Post by **Kaede** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 12:12 pm

^ Probably would have been best to PM this information to DEL or something.

I'm hoping to drop by again on the Sunday, really want to see JCK destroy Progear.

mulletgeezer · Post by **mulletgeezer** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 12:33 pm

Ah, problems for me, it seems I won't be able to attend now

Sorry about that chaps, hopefully next time I can attend, then I'll bring Futari for sure.

OH NO!

^^ well, it's too bad you're not coming
see you next meet maybe!

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 3:44 pm

Don't worry PROMETHEUS, you'll still have Ketsui, Mush, DDP and other games to discover.

I'll be down on the friday and saturday. Sunday will be House Arrest.

Be prepared for Friday night

The arcade gets Packed full of headz on Friday Fighter Nights. We've pretty much turned the arcade around in the last year - it gets busy.

ya don't worry I could get busy for months with just those 3 games

mmh me and my friends were thinking of doing something on friday night, if we decide to do it we'll have to leave around 9:30 or 10. But maybe a friday fighter night isn't something I should miss -.-?

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 9:34 pm

We're leaving in around 30 hours, I'm PMing LUN and DEL with my friend's mobile number and the details of where we're staying.

So LUN, let's meet friday at 6 PM like you said at the Goodge Street Station entrance ? Is there only one station in that street ?
