Heh maybe 88mph is your long lost cousin.

I agree practicing at home sucks, but unless more fighting games go online the only way to play them for competition is in the arcade which I can barely go out of my way for since its in the city.

Every once in a while I'll go but C-town fair doesn't have Guilty Gear so meh.

Practice with the CPU will get you nowhere. You can learn combo's and juggle traps, but a live opponent will always beat you out of your weakness when you fight someone good.

I'll take sitdown with cocktail arcades, everything else has to be on foot or I'll never use the stick correctly.

Since 99% of the time when I go to arcades I only play fighting games, I'll go with stand-up, since it's MUCH easier to use a joystick while standing.

1. Invite friends over or go to a friend`s place for competition, duh. Training modes are just fine for testing stuff out and in VF4E`s case, it can teach you how to play the game. I agree playing against the CPU is useless, VF4E is different due to the human style AI in quest mode.

2. I can hold my own here in Tokyo just fine at ST/HF/TS. VF4E is harder though as the arcades I go to everyone is around 5th with many tsuimono. Thank you for your concern.

The only game I really can't stand playing standing up is CRAZY TAXI! That game drives me crazy if its in a stand up cabinet. I feel like I am playing Dance Dance Revolution whenever I try to do a simple Crazy Dash I really prefer Crazy Taxi as a sit down cabinet. Also, I prefer sit downs in general for racing games because I don't think too many are stand up. Although maybe I should try playing Daytona USA 2 standing up some time

For everything else besides racing games I prefer to stand up. Playing a fighting game or a shooter sitting down is just maddening...

I'm used to standing, but sit-down sounds awfully nice...

I hafta agree with you there. Mini Cabs suck for someopne like myself who's 6'2".

I'm taller than that and I've never had a problem with arcade cabinets.

I'm guessing that a lot of you are just fat and lazy.

No... not on a video game site. Never.

I've heard that mini-cabs are made as standup cabs for kids. Really small from what I've seen of them...much smaller than a capcom impressa or super neo 29" (biggest fighting game sitdown cabs).
