No, no official weekly sessions that I know of! The only T6:BR cabinets I know of are also in Burnaby at CHQ in Metrotown mall. Hopefully you'll get lucky and that carded Lili Allanz player will show up at the same time you do! I know he likes challenging experienced players as he has played me on numerous occasions when no one better is present in the arcade.

what's their operation hour?

oh shi is this the noodlehead from tz? are you visiting vancouver? i'll play you at chq just post what time you're gonna be there.

Mall hours are:

Monday – Saturday | 10:00 am – 9:00 pm

Sunday & Holidays| 11:00 am – 7:00 pm

The last time I recorded CHQ's operation hours; it was in April and they were Sun-Thurs: 10 AM-10:30 PM and Fri & Sat: 10 AM - midnight. The stated CHQ's hours of operation are always longer than the mall hours though.

Hi fadc. XD

Sorry I would suck w/ stick though. I am mostly a pad player. But if you wanna take me to your crib for some console gaming, I am all for it.

I should be available for a few hours on Monday night. I am pretty sure that I will have all the time I want before my ride's available around 10ish.

@garyoak, thanks for the info! I am hoping that I will meet up w/ Kunibob for a dinner before she goes back to work again but I pretty much have the rest of the night til 10.

lol BOOOOO~

I showed up around 830 (a bit late, lol), and no one was there. I ended up playing alone w/ a few people watching behind me til 930, then went home sadly. Where did everyone go?


EDIT: oh btw, guard damage on? what was the arcade owner thinking? I am surprised that you guys didn't complain about it.

Awww...I neither made any promises nor offered to be there but it is sad to discover no one made it there!

That is the reason why I recommend playing at the arcade on weekends and ideally on weekend afternoons. Most people have work or school so they either avoid going there on weekdays or they can't stay late at the arcade on weekdays.

Yes, I only recently discovered that the jerry-rigged machine (T5 cabinet housing T6:BR kit) has guard damage on because I rarely play on it!

There is the official HD T6:BR machine located on the other side of the arcade and I am quoting myself as I mentioned the location just 3 days before your first message in this thread:



THAT machine has guard damage turned OFF so THAT is the reason why we don't complain! The disadvantages are the facts that it is $1 per play and it only gives a minimum of 2 rounds.

Today was an incredibly busy day at CHQ! It was so crowded that I could hardly move! There was even a NEW carded player too!

On the old Tekken 5 cabinet housing the Tekken 6:BR kit, I noticed the same Lili player I beat last time using Kazuya. So I challenged him again with my Kazuya to see if he had improved at all. He had improved slightly as I didn't have to give him a mercy round this time. But I still beat him easily as he couldn't block or low parry my u/f+4,4,4 as usual.

Later there was a Law player on the same cabinet. I challenged him and he actually beat my Kazuya. The bad news was I didn't get to play him using Steve as he left in the middle of a match with the CPU to play air hockey with his daughters.

Then came a Paul player on the same machine. I picked Kazuya again. It was interesting because he kept switching out with his friend so I had trouble learning his play style because I was literally playing against 2 people! It went down to the final round but I finally spaced it out and then beat him with f,f,f+3.

That wasn't the end of it for the old T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit because a female Alisa player decided to play! She was only mashing buttons unfortunately. I challenged her and gave her a mercy round before I closed out the match. She even had to ask me how to block like the last newbie I played the other day.

Now for the official HD T6:BR machine. There was an uncarded Lars player. I challenged her and she switched to Alisa. I easily beat her as she was another button masher. That was to be my last win today on that machine sadly. The expert players now entered CHQ.

You guessed it! Lili Allanz decided to challenge me. He is still a Berserker with 1361 wins and 464 losses. I lost as usual although I actually won a round! He put a fluke win out of my mind quickly with a perfect following that lost round though.

Then came a new guy with his girlfriend. He played an uncarded Mokujin! I challenged him and he proceeded to pick my main for a mirror match. Naturally he thrashed me in 2 rounds.

He eventually revealed his true colours when he inserted his Steve card. The card name was STEVE WONDER and he is a Brawler with 354 wins and 128 losses. He went on a 5 or 6 game winning streak.

There was another uncarded Law player on the official HD T6:BR machine later though Lili Allanz returned to thrash him in 2 straight rounds.

A Raven and Law player also played on the old T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit later too.

Altogether there were no less than TEN T6:BR players in just 3 hours today at CHQ!

This is why timing is everything if you want to play many players!

My card is now at 55 wins and 44 losses.

wow Noodle you live in vancouver? And ur same noodle in tz that uses yoshi and baek right?

@gary
that lili player relies on grabs and low sweeps too much. When i play him im always in the 1st player with the broken RP =.=

No, he is from Indiana. Yes, it should be the same Noodlehead as I seem to recall him mentioning a trip to Canada. I read somewhere on Tekken Zaibatsu he was planning this trip here to hopefully play some Tekken with some of us.

Thanks for the tip! Which grab does he use though?

They completely replaced the RP button on the 1P side and you can see it as the button is now a bright red!

Today was a comparatively quiet day at CHQ.

There were a couple of female players on the T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit. One was playing Nina and the other Asuka. The Nina player won and I challenged her and defeated her.

Then there was an uncarded Roger Jr. player on the official HD T6:BR cabinet. When I challenged him, he switched to an uncarded Yoshimitsu. It definitely wasn't an improvement as I easily dispatched him in 2 straight rounds.

Then came an uncarded Feng player on the same cabinet. When I challenged him, he switched to an uncarded Hwoarang. I won the first round but then I got caught ducking his strings at the wrong times and it quickly got to the final round. Fortunately I got lucky and got the last hit in even though both of us were in rage.

Then I noticed there was a different Lili player on the old T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit. I challenged him with my Kazuya, won a round and then lost 3 straight as he knew how to properly block all of u/f+4,4,4. He was also patient enough to wait for me to make mistakes getting up too. I lost despite winning 1 round.

So I switched to Steve to challenge him. Leaning left and leaning right to bait and counterattack only worked for one round. It was felt difficult to get close enough to do d/b+3,2 as his Lili often grabbed me at that range. I got 1 round again but he won the match.

Then I switched to my main, won 1 round again and then lost three for the match. I challenged him a couple of times and lost twice and called it a day. In retrospect, I probably got too predictable with my main and used too many punches as I ate the Contour Counter on several occasions. It got so one-sided that his Lili started taunting me every time I got knocked down!

Fortunately, my win-loss on my card improved to 57 wins and 44 losses.

Okay good to know. lost some matches cuz RP wont come out. He usually uses 1+4 so break it with 1 but still watch for the arm

@Noodle and @Anyone else

If you guys found a gathering, please fill me in. I gave up on SF. Im free till end of aug since my school starts.

HAHA sorry guys, I left already. I thought I replied to you Rreygun but I guess I never did. Flu's gotten my head badly.

Yep, I feel your pain as I wouldn't have won a match today if they hadn't replaced that button. I was on the 1P side of the official HD T6:BR machine.
Both my opponent and I were in rage and the final round and I successfully connected with a Mach Breaker (f,f+2) to end it.

Okay, got it. Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely keep an eye on that arm the next time I play him.

Today was surprisingly busy at CHQ for an ordinary Tuesday!

There were at least 3 Paul Phoenix players today!

I noticed an uncarded Kazuya player on the 2P side of the official HD T6:BR machine. I challenged him and he promptly switched to an uncarded Eddy. I lost but it went to a final round because I managed to sidestep some of his strings the first round. He beat me mostly because I got too aggressive while trying to get up!

I challenged him for a rematch and he made the mistake of changing characters again! This time he changed to an uncarded Law and I beat him in 2 straight rounds because I punished him when he mindlessly spammed those famous flip kicks!

However, a carded player by the name of Alisa COKE with a win-loss ratio of 12-2 came and beat me although it went to a final round. I challenged him a couple of times afterwards but I lost all of the rounds. I gave him a promotion and his win/loss ended the day with 15-3. Lili Allanz was at CHQ today but he didn't play Tekken because as it turns out Alisa COKE is a good friend of his because they were talking and they share a common character!

Then the first Paul player showed up to the old T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit. I challenged him with my Steve and even though I had trouble doing simple special arts like d/b+3,2 and f,f+2. I'm quite sure I was probably moving the stick wrong because I kept doing Trident Hook half the time I wanted to do d/b+3,2. I probably kept pressing the 2 too late after doing the f,f though. As I said, my Steve is rusty from lack of use. Nevertheless, I still won using d/b+3,2, atomic blow, Eraser blow, d/b+2, Spin Gut Punch, Spin Low Hook and Sonic Fang.

He challenged me to a rematch with his Paul and it went down to a final round this time but I lost due to lack of execution of the d/b+3,2. He never did learn how to properly block it so I know to abuse that next time I play him.

Then another Paul player challenged him and he lost which is why I didn't challenge the first Paul player with my Kazuya but I did challenge this SECOND Paul player with my Kazuya. He was defeated surprisingly easily and then I realized he had wanted to challenge me with another character!

It was Heihachi and it went down to a fifth and final round with both of us hitting each other with EWGF and Hell Sweeps at every opportunity but he proved that his execution of the Hell Sweep was faster than mine and that was how he beat me in the end!

My win/loss ratio on my card took a bit of a drop earlier because of that losing streak but fortunately the earlier uncarded player returned to the official HD T6:BR machine to play an uncarded Bruce. I challenged him and he switched to an uncarded Lei Wulong. It went down to a final round because like his Eddy before, he was rather unpredictable in his stances but like I mentioned earlier I connected with a clutch Mach Breaker when we were both in rage!

He wasn't done yet so he challenged me to a rematch using an uncarded Bruce. Fortunately, I had been watching carefully when he was playing the CPU and I noticed he was spamming two moves: his hopkick and his hop knee for the extra range. I punished his hopkicks appropriately with 1,4 and won in 2 rounds.

My win/loss still dropped slightly but I'm still looking at 60 wins to 48 losses on this card.

Today there were several players at CHQ.

On the old T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit, there was a Bob player and a Mokujin player! The Mokujin player actually won the match! So I challenged the Mokujin player to see if he was any good against my Kazuya. It turns out he wasn't a good Mokujin player as I beat him easily although he did get someone I didn't recognize so he won that one round.

Then he went and played an uncarded Lili on the official HD T6:BR machine. I challenged him and even though I beat him in 1 round, I lost the following 2 rounds because I got too aggressive and I tried to counterattack him at the worst times.

But then I saw a Raven player on the T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit. I challenged him using my Steve and I beat him despite still having trouble with d/b+3,2. The Raven player wanted a rematch but I still beat him despite the fact he actually won a round in the rematch.

Then I was challenged to a Steve mirror match! It even came down to a fifth and final round. I probably should have stopped talking to the Lili player who beat me on the official machine so I lost because I was distracted!

It seemed natural then that that Lili player challenged that Steve and easily beat him.

I decided I could spare a minute to challenge that Lili player with my Kazuya. It turned out to be a LOT longer than a minute! I easily beat him doing little else besides u/f+4,4,4 with some 1,1,2 as punishment after blocking his flips and then f+3 thrown in as a surprise! I also sidestepped some of his strings and sidestep attacked him. I stomped his Lili whenever I got the chance too.

Then he decided to switch to Bob to challenge me. I did the above tactics and his Bob went down quickly although I must admit I enjoyed having the wall at his back.

He switched to Hwoarang and he still lost just as quickly with me using the same tactics as with the previous 2 matches!

He finally switched back to Lili and beat me by doing that low sweep because it actually has some tracking on it and caught me just as I was doing that sidestep attack using my Kazuya.

My card now falls to 60 wins and 49 losses.

Today was a busy day for both T6:BR cabinets at CHQ.

I'll summarize the results from the official HD T6:BR machine first since those wins and losses are recorded onto my card.

An uncarded Eddy was playing on the 1P side. I challenged him and he quickly switched to an uncarded Miguel. I beat him in 2 rounds easily by sidestepping to my right and then punishing his whiffed attacks.

Then someone with a card showed up! His card was called Kix and he had a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. I sidestepped enough of his attacks and then punished his whiffed strings to win the match although he did put me into rage both rounds. He kept challenging me and it went on for 5 matches until he got a promotion chance! He lost that match too though.

Then a carded Law player with a rank of 6th Kyu showed up! (He had no name on the card/It was completely deleted!) The record was 7 wins and 3 losses. I promptly handed him 5 wins and a perfect in the last match. He kept flipkicking me whenever I attacked and then did a tracking sweep whenever I tried to sidestep him at close range. I think I gave him 2 promotions during my 5-game losing streak against him.

It felt like a repeat of Rip and Tokido's final match at this year's Evo with him as Rip and I as Tokido except I don't play Bob. I thought of the best thing to do during the round against him only on the train ride back though: backdash at the start of the round and then sidewalk whenever possible!

Then he went to play Law on the T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit. I tried challenging him with both Steve and Kazuya but he beat them both in 3 straight rounds. It seems he prefers to play on the 2P side regardless of the cabinet.

Unfortunately, that wasn't it for the official HD T6:BR cabinet as a boy decided to select Roger Jr. and then he started bashing in the buttons on the 2P side with his fists! Fortunately, a man saw what he was doing and he quickly decided to put an end to it quickly before the first stage even ended by challenging him with an uncarded Steve! The button-bashing boy quickly switched to an uncarded Armor King. It went down to a final round before the uncarded Steve won the match.

I decided to challenge this uncarded Steve with my main and he stuck with the uncarded Steve. I easily sidestepped or blocked most of his attacks as I am naturally familiar with the character. I seem to recall it ended in 2 rounds.

Then an old friend decided to show up to play me! He decided to pick an uncarded Steve probably because he knew me back when I still used my Steve card! It was as one-sided as my previous match with Steve as I knew again what attacks were coming and sidestepped or blocked most of them before punishing appropriately.

I asked him where his Asuka was and he promptly decided to play his carded Asuka against my card. It was Mayvin and it was 2nd Dan. I didn't have enough time to record his win/loss record as I was playing him. It was a harder fight naturally as I am nowhere as familiar with Asuka as I am with Steve so the match went the full 3 rounds. Fortunately, I have had experience playing another Asuka and I abused the one low and the 2 mids that could not be countered as much as possible and that won me the match!

There was someone playing Jin on the old T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit. I challenged him with Steve and I believe it ended quickly as I abused WS+1,2, sonic fang, f,f+2 and d/b+3,2 and met with little resistance.

The interesting thing was that someone actually picked Steve to challenge me for another mirror match just like the other day on the old T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit! He did win 1 round as I got too predictable in one of my rounds with leaning to my right and d/b+3,2. Fortunately I switched to d/b+2 for the quick ground damage and I closed out the match.

Then came a female Lee Chaolan player against a King player on the T5 cabinet housing the T6:BR kit. It came down to a fifth and final round but the female Lee Chaolan player won!

Then one of her other friends decided to pick Armor King and we had 2 female Tekken players playing each other. This time the Armor King player won but the other girl decided to rematch her.

She selected Julia. I think it went down to another fifth and final round but she actually managed to abuse her grabs enough to get the win.

I decided to challenge her with my Steve and to make things interesting; I gave her TWO mercy rounds! I still won easily though.

I won 9 matches and got 5 losses today on my card. I played 8 different players on both machines and I only lost to ONE of them.

My card's record now rises to 69 wins and 54 losses. I am now only 7 matches away from my 3rd natural roulette.

Was in Norcal the other week. went to the arcade of maliptas golfland. They charge 2 tokens (4/$1) per 3 rounds. =(

they seriously need to lower the price down. thas why alot of people are not playing. lower it to atleast 3 tokens and 3 rounds. more people would play. they would get more money and every1's happy. (wow that rhymed lol) So we should consult witht he management. If some1 has please tell me the result.

PS: they(tekken canada) should change the title of this thread to a more official one. =P
