One Day in Tokyo: My First Showdown

Great read!, thanks Myke

I seem to vaguely recall Kamaage say in a previous post that he studied in Australia at one point? did he say anything about that? (assuming I'm not confusing him with someone else ).

Sorry to hear about the wrist, should be hard (and expensive) to get proper medical attention if you're not from Japan or fluent in the language. Although probably still better than going to an Australian emergency room .

I just picture you asking for a doctor and the nurse coming out and saying "only for Japan" lol.

 

Thanks for the read, Myke. This has gotten me re-hyped for Final Showdown again.

 

Great read, Myke!

I really want to play FS again.

Fucking Sega!

 

That was an interesting read, Myke. I really like your writing style! Seemed like a cool day, I wish I could try FS too .

Good stuff!

 

Good stuff!

 

Great post Myke, really intersting to read.

This a hint at things to come?

 

Thanks for a great write-up Myke! Reminds me of the good old days when that's the main way we got info about the game...

 

I'd like to think so

 

I would hire you, Myke.

 

Beats my hospital experience then. Small lac on my hand needing two stitches, with followup at the local clinic. Despite me speaking good Japanese, doctor wanted to try his English, which is fine for medical terms, but less appropriate when the conversation spreads to Hiroshima, and so on.

 

Hey Myke, I forgot to ask you... I'm new to the VF community and don't see many Goh top players. Did you see/play against any of them on that day? If not, could you name a few?

I know it sounds sort of off-topic but I felt like it was still related somehow.

 

Hi Myke, it has been soooo many years since I last wrote here. Thanks for the blog and I can feel raindrops touching my face. I should have read it earlier since on 19 Feb (the Jap National Holiday) I was indeed in Tokyo. That was my last day there after a week long family vacation before I headed back to HK on Sat. You know, I have brought my 10 years' old boy to Club Sega Akiba to experience FS on that day.

Too bad I missed the chance to meet you and share the intensity of the play with those great jap players. This makes me remember of the old vf3 days when I used to spend all my time with the crowd in Sportlands and Spot21 while my wife did her shopping. Those were the days and I pretty much retired now from the arcade but only causal player match on Live.

since 3tb ... vf5

 

Hey Myke I forgot to ask how did you find the block stun animations. I know you're used to it from your vf3 exp were you punishing stuff instantly or did it throw you off?
