Will there be a SF4 cabinet in your local arcade?

[Fritz]

The gap between arcade cabinet technology and home systems is pretty much zero nowadays, and with the little money that arcades generate these days, do you even think they will create an arcade for this?

My hopes is yes they will, but i strongly doubt it... any thoughts?

[ElderGOD]

Will be on Japanese arcades, if it does well it will come to the US.

Only a few arcades will have it though. I'm guessing the same arcades that got Arcana Hearts are probably going to get SF4. Only big arcades though, I doubt random places would get it.

[skitz]

I don't go or intend tournaments,so the only way I'm going to play new people for fun is in the arcade.And I'm too poor to buy a game system or game, so only way I get to play sf4 is in a arcade or never.

So yea, hope my local arcade gets it. :looney:

[Radiantsilvergun3]

Mine might. I mea...It is Street Fighter 4...Places may pick it up i hopes of it geeratig the buzz i did years ago but i wount be suprised if they don't. I hope so it would be nice.

[angelslayer13]

we god damn better Ill talk to the manager of that place hold someone hostage or someshit. unless ofcourse no cabinet is ever made..

[ObsidianZ]

Probably.

[Oro's Other Arm]

Arcade? What arcade?

[RushedDown]

yes it will be in my local arcade
well not as local anymore as i have to drive a little over an hour to get there now

but TGA ftw

[DevilJin 01]

The closest arcade to me is about 30 minutes away from me in a Dave and Busters and the only 2 fighting games they have in there are Tekken 4 and that arcade classics machine with all the non Super SF2 games. I dont see that arcade getting SFIV. I'm guessing the one a bit further down the road in a mall will get it since they even still have a SF3 cab from what I'm aware of. The one that I know most people go down to in Springfield VA (which still has a 3S cab, used to have 2 T5 DR cabs and some other random fighters) will probably get it.

[No Limitz]

What i'm curious about is how they would run the hardware if they do bring this to the arcades.
CPS-4 anyone??

[EznorbYar]

The arcade near my house is very good, and tends to keep pretty up to date. It has 3S, T5, T5DR, and a ton of other fighters, so I have high hopes for getting SF4.

[akumachan]

The Gameworks just up the street already has MvC, MvC2, SvC and T5, and they're all played fairly regularly so I'd imagine they'll try their best to get a cabinet or two.

[Hitaro0]

I don't even know if there is such a as an "arcade" within hundreds of miles from me. Closest thing is a bowling alley with a DDR machine.

[spudlyff8fan]

What the hell is a local arcade?

[cain[e]]

maybe if my arcade sold all their other machines cuz this'll prolly be on some robust shit like taito type 2 x for somereason

[The_Trigger]

Doubt it. Maybe if I offered to split the cost with them, they might consider it. Wouldn't mind doing that, either, as long as they gave me an option to buy if they considered selling it at any point.

[goodm0urning]

God, I hope so. My arcade doesn't have MvC1 or 3S anymore, but it still has all three Soul Caliburs, VF4, CvS1 and 2, TTT, and Tekken 5. Most of them were moved to the back, and CvS2 was moved from a giant screen cab to an ordinary cab, but I think it's clear that the Op has SOME faith in the fighting genre.

[crazydiamond]

There is only one decent arcade here in New Zealand - Yifans. I feel confident they will get it if it's released that way.

[DS]

Of course, Chinatown Fair will get it.

[JCL]

Ive heard of these so called arcades from back in the day. People used to walk 50 miles in the snow bare foot just to go to one.

I presume you're talking about CHQ? Yeah that arcade will get it for sure and i'll be there playing it everyday until i'm finally bored of it (won't be for a while I hope).

[poonage]

Einstein's will get it.

[Hisham]

There is an arcade near Ryerson University in Toronto which I go to on sometimes. It is pretty up to date, with two 3S machines, XvsSF, MvC1, MvC2, SvC, MSHvsC, T5DR, SCII, SCIII, and SFIII:DI. So I'm pretty certain they will get SF4 if it has an Arcade cab.

Funland loses. :arazz: Your last name wouldn't be Moin would it? Ignore that if it isn't.

I'd be surprised if the two arcades near me didn't get it, especially since they try to emulate the Japanese style. But both of them are pretty slow or hesitant to get the new shit these days. One of them doesn't even have Accent Core yet.

[Judgment Day]

Michigan? Don't worry. We'll get it.

But what arcade are you talking about? I know MI's kinda lucky and still have quite a few arcades doing very decent (added to the fact that Michigan players are pretty arcade pre-dominant), but I don't know of one that has the roster you mentioned. Closest thing I can think of is the Butterfly, but that place is trash, and they don't have CvS1.

Or Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor. They're the only ones with CvS1 that I can think of off the top of my head....but they had 3rd Strike the last time I was there (back in March) and NO Tekken Tag.

Lastly, there's another arcade thread around here, which is also a good read. Someone brought up that Japan will be developing it (which everyone knows by now), but it will be a huge possibility for being a part of the SBO lineup in the next year or two - depending on its release. That alone should dictate that an arcade release is happening.

[Humbag]

i already got 4 machines in my house

[SuicidalGrandpa]

Yeah, no. I dont even have a local arcade.

[Hisham]

Funland loses. :arazz: Your last name wouldn't be Moin would it? Ignore that if it isn't.

Nope... Not my last name.

Anyways, the arcade I listed is just down the street from Younge/Dundas square (walk down Younge, past Dundas, and it is on the across the street from the legendary Sam the Record Man store). Like literally a 2 minute walk. But to people who like japanese sticks, they use all Happ equipment. Anyways, yeah they have a GGXX machine in the back, but it has been down for a long time, and I don't know if they are going to repair it. They haven't gotten Accent Core either. But with all the capcom love, I'm pretty sure they will get a SF4 cabinet in. The arcade by York University seems to be better though IMO. But I only went to it once like 3 or 4 years ago, so what do I know haha.

[The Granby]

Ummm FFA/AI?

Don't know about the others (JG, Regency, Super, Cal Poly, Interface) but I pretty sure if the arcade came out then it'd be probably FFA or AI to get it first here in SoCal.

[goodm0urning]

Michigan? Don't worry. We'll get it.

It has a lot of great games, but jack shit for competition. I get out to Ann Arbor on rare occasion, and it's a whole other reality as far as players go.

[Fritz]

I was kinda seeing if people thought it would actually get ported to Arcade or just straight to console.. not whether their local arcade is going to get it haha sorry for the bad question.

[Sasmasta]

Over here?

No...

[Alzarath]

But of course.

[Cyric]

There is no local arcade where I live.
Thats cool though. Im sure there'll be a MAME version soon enough. :confused::rofl:

[AudioCG]

Sadly, there is not one single arcade (except for a Neo Geo machine at my local laundrymat) within 10 miles of my house.:sweat:

[YuuFone]

I really don't think my local arcades are gonna have SF4

they don't even have ST,3s,GG

all they have is bootleg kof boards with Infinite Supers and wack shit
and
Sega horse racing games and other gambling games (the 30~60 year olds love it)

[Digitalbooty]

I hope it goes straight to console. Hasn't been an arcade around here for years. It's gonna be really unfair when everyone with an arcade is playing 9 months before I get a chance to see it in action.

[Geddoe]

The nearest arcade is roughly 300 km's away in another province with $40 toll bridge or boat as the only way to get to it. The local movie theater has DDR and used to have Project Justice, so maybe it'll get. I doubt it though.

[hanz0]

well regular places here in mexico will NOT get it, they mostly have MAME cabinets with KOF Plus infinite supers and crap.

but the big places in the Cancun Malls still have pretty plenty of games. so they will definately get it here in cancun mall plaza las americas:lovin:

[shoni]

I can only hope buut the nearest arcade to me is 2 hours away so im screwed

[chopperbyrne]

I'm sure MaybeMemories will agree when I say Dr. Quirkeys better get this game!

[Tone!]

Not sure if my local arcade will get it, but I'm pretty sure some hotspot in norcal will get it soon after if it releases in arcades. First place that comes to mind is SVGL.

[FOBio]

Yeah, no. I dont even have a local arcade.

i'm with you on that.


what local arcade?

[The Granby]

i'm with you on that.


what local arcade?

There are arcades in San Diego bro..... :looney:

[AmbiguousCrosup]

Here's hoping the SF tilt gets it. Either that or Keystone, Seths, or I'll buy the board. If one comes out.

[Silks]

Arcade? What arcade?

Exactly.

Yeah, if I buy the machine myself and have it shipped back in time 5 years. Someone got a deloren I can borrow? Preferably with the flux capacitor installed already. I'm fresh out

[Chozen1]

fuck if I know, most of the arcades here in sd suck anyway

[shinblanka]

Doesn't matter to me if my local arcade gets SF4, because I will buy the arcade kit if it is released in the arcade 1st. Game sessions at the crib will be sick. I would be surprized if sf4 didn't get released in the arcade 1st. We aren't talking about soul calibur. This is street fighter four we are talking about here people! This is the game that started the fighting genre! If tekken6 will be in the arcades 1st then sf4 better be in the arcades!

[TornadoFlame]

I'll definitely start pusing for it today.

[Shadow Ace 50]

My local laundry mat will get it..they got mvc2...MVC2!!! damn it!!

[dbycrash]

Most mall arcades are run by a corporation called nickles and dimes... for example "tilt" is a popular chain under this corp.

... as much as i hate mall arcades... i am sure that nickles and dimes will realize that investing in this machine for each of its arcades is a good move.

if they took the initiative to get every tekken sequel(most even got DR), then i am confident that street fighter will not get the cold shoulder... if it does... i just might take up bomb making as a hobby.

[Lvl.3]

CoA arcade division and even japans is dead, why are threads like this still in existance? It's the new era of online play, get with the times.

Haha, "get with the times." I like this retard.

[bbq sauce]

the most local arcade is a ghetto ass mallcade.. however, UP isn't far from me, i'm sure if it comes out, they'll have it.

[Insomniac487]

i think we all hope they will. Cause that'll make people come to the arcades more often instead of doing everything at home (with consoles nowadays). which will make the scene a hell lot more active again. street fighter games come out once in a blue moon!

[n8archer_XI]

I'm in the Midwest: what local arcade?

[SeizureGummies]

hope our arcade is still alive when SF4 comes out...

[Iron Z]

Im 26. why the hell would i go to a local arcade?

Ive never seen anyone play a fighting game machine in it.

Most people in there are half my age, bored out of there minds, and dress like 50 cent. I would probably be arrested as a suspected paedophile, or possibly a Charles Bronson style revenge killer out to get the little sh*t who keyed my Mercedes.

unless you live in Japan (and I did when i was 19, and played in the arcades there), the arcade scene is dead.

If capcom have half a brain they will bring structured, ranked, broadcast, commentated national and international tournament matches to Xbox Live, building up a fanbase of millions. Done right, it could make SF4 console version THE game to have for a generation (again), and a huge hit a la Halo.

Or they could invest in expensive arcade hardware, which wont get enough distribution, and no one will play, so they wont make any money. Tough choice.

[jabhadouken]

What is an "arcade"? :confused:

[queen of combat]

I hope there will be a arcade version and it will come to the Family Fun Center where I live. They got the 3s beta before,it would be great if they got SF IV beta and/or the game itself. ^_^

[otter]

im still trying to get my arcade to get 3s... so they might get SF4 around 2019 or so.

ambiguous crosup: nice av :wgrin:

[Superking]

Yes, also Tekken 6, KOFXII, etc., since my local arcades always get the new games.

Except updates to Guilty Gear. lol

[Hyperhal]

University Pinball will definitely get it

If a Capcom arcade can swallow their pride and get two of the faggiest animu games ever, they've GOTTA get the new Capcom games

[goodm0urning]

[Nickoten]

They could just do a limited release, isn't that what Atlus does with their games? I mean I know this is hardware but if they keep it limited such that the places that will really want one will buy it and they won't be losing money on it, then that should work, right? I mean, I don't have any local arcades but so long as it doesn't come to the console first with some problems I'll be fine.

[JAMMAR]

Judging from a lot of the posts, I've realized that it is hard to say the arcade scene is dead when yours still has a pulse. As far as whether there will be american cabs coming, we still keep getting the newest KOF's (because they're cheap I would assume) and the newest Tekkens (though if what I'm hearing lately is right that could start being Japan only).

That being said yes my local arcade would get it.

[R.P.D rookie]

It's a possibility. All those saying it won't show up in arcades are probably the same people that said there would never be a SF4.:wonder: Time will tell.

[toxic025]

nope, Regency never get anything good. we finally got a 3rd MVC2 machine

[Gutter Trash]

with the exception of SoCal, arcades are pretty much dead in North America, especially in cheap ass areas.

the HD era is here and it's more expensive, and I believe the arcade scene will diminish more over time.

The smoking ban inside commercial establishments was a motivator for me to return to arcades, but the problem is.. there are not many left

[Digitalbooty]

Not really

[BigRick70]

There better be one!

Sorry your arcade/scene sucks =(

[otter]

i think people play console out of neccessity. arcades want to just buy shit games and pretend theres no competition. you cant be part of the problem and still cry about it. so if you find a cab of your game, play it :wgrin:

[hellhound]

I have not been to an arcade for a long time. If SF4 did reach the arcades how much would it cost to play?
