Sweat, shit talking, Change Jingling In Pockets, 3 To 5 Different Languages, Hadukens, Berserker Barrages, button mashing, This was just the first 30 seconds of entry to this awesome gem of a place. it was Saturday at 8:45 pm, running an hour and 45 minutes late to meet a few friends who are real pros at 2d fighters because of the shitty parking situation surrounding Mott street in Chinatown. Though is was a bitch, the fun had in those 35 circles around Mott were pure fun, random people receiving high fives from a car full of dudes ready to talk shit and land some combos. finally a spot opens by a park a little more than a block away, overjoyed, like a gang of buffoons we start hooting and hollering and jumped out the new Lexus my cousin David bought. out front was nelson and his boy rave, that first burst of sweaty b.o. air, the cheers of victory and the foggy mist of defeat all lingered the magical air as i passed over what seemed to be 20 to 30 fighting games and 5 to 10 dance dance machines. the range was king of fighters 98 , marvel vs capcom 2 right up to street fighter 4 , blazblu, and even the not released on consoles yet king of fighter 12. I haven't been using anything at home on street fighter 4 but the fight pad they released that seem to be sold out everywhere, so the joystick was really a threat to me. i started out on the marvel vs capcom 2 machine with my boy jay, who is good but not on my level(yes I'm cocky!)and due to the joystick i lost bad, so i made the decision to stick to this machine until i adapt fully(which never happened), i made my attempts over and over but just kept missing key moves to get the wins, so my fog of defeat was rolling heavy like a broken down hippy van.i was accompanied by nelson(friend from work),jalel(friend from work),David(cousin from long island),timbo(former work friend),jay(best friend of over 15 years).we all made attempts at different games, a few good matches here and there but more loses than anything.
most of the older machines took tokens which were dispensed by a full flow of 4 ready and able machine, the newer machines(street fighter 4,blazblu and kof12)all took dollar bills 1 per play(little steep).it seemed all the machines were in fine working order , clean for the most part, unlike the floor ,which looks like its been neglected for decades.all and all i give it 5 stars for fun, 0 for bathroom as per non being available and the restaurant across the street was getting a little annoyed with all of us coming in without buying anything to pee. so i say please make it a point if you have never been to make it here to a great place for friends and fun!
also side note everyone should check out my boys blog spot Zack sporen versus the world, good stuff over there!!
