Hi Brastel,

I figured from your posts that you're in Japan ATM ?

If true, do the SF4 arcade machines there only have 6 buttons instead of 8 ?

Went to play SF4 @ Arcades in Singapore recently and all machines strangely have 6 and not 8 buttons.

Plus, the recent tournament @ Mid Valley organised by Allan Mu ( sorry if I mispelled that) only allows 6 buttons too.

Yes I was there on Saturday but didn't join as I would not like to get raped in public

Didn't stayed long as had to be elsewhere at 2 PM which means I missed those matches with 3 rounds.

Yup, those buttons looked like the ones I saw at Virtualand outlets in Singapore last week i.e. 6 instead of 8.

Playing on 6 buttons made my scrubby gameplay even worse than usual, not to mentioned the fact that there was a Zangief player there who thrashed everyone. You see, once you insert a token, the connected arcade machines will automatically duel you - you can't choose whether to play against the AI or a human. Unfortunately I got to play that Zangief dude EVERY TIME I slot a token in.

I was hoping to fight the other casts in SF4 there but in the end, 10 SGD was wasted on fighting Zangief alone ( that's 20 plays in Virtualand arcades). The funny bit is the reaction on other players when they too were automatically matched - then subsequently raped - by that Zangief.
