So yesterday I was wandering around Little Tokyo, and I decided to check out the Japan Arcade, and stumbled upon what I think was this Toasty Casual!
A while ago me and some friends I downloaded a game called Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, and it was probably the most fun I had playing a fighting game, a genre I had never really been that interested in. Recently my interest was re-sparked, and for the past few days I've been trying to find an arcade with a Melty cabinet in it. I never thought it was in the little arcade naught but a 10 minute drive from my house! (The locations page listed some out-of-business arcades and that dinky Coinz center at UCLA listed as "University of California"). I was even more blown away to find a gathering specifically around it. What are the odds? That is some weird spooky voo-doo.
I had some questions though:
1) I'm someone with no real "backround" in fighters, are there other people here who are new to the game, and would it make any sense to participate in the actual casuals?
2) The way I see some people talking about the arcade, it makes me think that there is not always a MB cab there? 2b) If so, if anyone wants to beat on me sometime during the week and give me some pointers I'll sup you the quarters.
Stoked there's a scene near me, hope to be posting more!
