Japanese arcades: salty players
Texan arcades: players just glad they met someone else who plays fighting games
Any Arcade UFO goers?
@@MaulusRS i've only been once (was visiting for Dreamhack) but its my favorite arcade in the US!
@@MaulusRS I’ve been there once but I’m further north now by a few hours
There's a Tekken machine at my local beach and if anyone joins me I will literally pay their credits. That's how bad and desperate it is in MD.
@@RoastedPheasant Tekken 3 in ocean city?
Real-time player induced haptic feedback move over PS5
i fucking choked
In the 90's blocking was considered "turtling" and considered BM. This has been your daily dose of fighting game history.
wow
You can get a bastardized version of japan arcade history if you watch the anime Hi-Score Girl lol
BM= bitch move?
@@bruceleeds7988 bad mouthing typically, but same idea yeah
@@bruceleeds7988 bad manners
"Your connection with the opponent has been lost."
*bah-bah*
Mmm Delicious!
I remember playing ken in sf4 vanilla vs some guy who played like sagat or some BS. He was so calm. Like we would just be sitting there next to each other for hours cause we were the few people who gave a shit about this random cabinet in a best buy or whatever. And I would fucking smoke him for 6 hours a day. And he would be like. " Tight, good games bruh. " That guy was the real champion. Nerves of Steel.
gotta respect that Q player being so in character that he was wearing a trenchcoat and fist slamming
The local arcade at the mall where I live got rid of all fighting games because of how many actual fights broke out
I remember being 15 y/o and playing MKII against grown men, and I beat them so bad that I got scared for my own safety. They were that mad they lost that I called my Dad and was ready to be picked up from the arcade lol.
@@sundalo916 Girl, You kicked their ass and gave them a good ol slice of humble pie because there's nothing more that pisses old people the most than when you best them. They will literally combust, cause their poor ego cannot handle being bested by somebody younger.
Video games really bring out the most unique emotions in people
The worst emotions, the fighting games community it's like a teenager frat hat constantly smell like balls.
“Level up your joy”
Japanese arcades are wild. People have this weeb notion that the Japanese are all calm and collected and lovely people, and generally they are. But in the arcades, holy shit the gloves come off and they will beat the SHIT of these machines. You will never know true terror until you see someone get so pissed at Taiko that they stab the drums with the sticks like they're wielding a knife, its crazy.
In Japan, the amount of times I would walk to a CF cab, put 100 yen in, choose Susanoo, and just wait for people to play me only for no one to step forward was unreal. They would just walk me by and sit in another booth. They were just waiting for me to leave because they did not want to play against Susanoo in Nesica 2 lag
Its a game at the end of the day, and noone wanted to play with you.
@@GuitarSlayer136 Bruh, they're lame. We talk about the culture changing, this is classic cowardice and it shows they only want to win and have no interest in learning. If they just wanted to play...they probably wouldn't care about top tiers. This is like someone who quits online seeing a character, except it costs money.
@@pkyy9269 If every loss cost me money I would avoid top tiers like the plague as well lmao
Nobody is ready to deal with that Susanoo bs lol
@@pkyy9269 And theres way way worse characters in CF than susanoo. Hes just considered braindead.
Insane that you didn't mention Jiyuna's video on the toxic arcade communities. If you didn't see it, just look up "the top 5 most toxic gaming communities in japan", the ending always cracks me up.
@@nisenazold it's good business
@@nisenazold fair point bruh
I heard stories like this on FGC Translated, specifically on Momochi and Daigo's stream. Its funny because now, Hi Score Girl arcades feel a lot more realistic to me.
You watched that series? Man I just wanna watch the series because of so much references to the old games lol. Is it only available on Netflix?
@@lucaswibisono1316 I'm afraid it is. I watched the whole thing there. It captures the japonese arcade essence in a way at the same time that it tells a rather wholesome story about games uniting people.
It cracks me up that a certain character pick and really piss some people off
USFIV Elena really was in her own league of nonsense and jank, tbf.
@@ddranimestyle I agree. Elena was more annoying for me than anything but then again I never played against a top level one before
It's understandable, even if kinda unsportsmanlike, especially if like high tiers dominate the game.
I'd probably leave too if while playing ST someone picked Akuma, or if someone somehow could pick Gill in 3s
As a Japanese dude who's been to Japan to see family I definitely love my people and country. But don't the weebs fool you, we're dickheads.
We already knew lol
This is why no arcade machine has all their buttons working. LOL
Gotta story...
I was in Japan during the USF4 loktests. I mained Elena in SFxT (and 3S), and in the loktests she was more or less just a slightly changed version of how she was in SFxT (they made a lot of changes since, by release she felt like a totally different character) and I was doing pretty well considering I barely played SF4 prior.
The machines were set up in such a way that there were anywhere from 8 to a dozen cabs, all lined up, back to back. You could be fighting any one on any of those cabs at any point as long as you were both free when the second player pressed start.
As luck would have it, the guy who sat directly next to me ended up matching with me. I managed to beat him, I can't even remember if it was close or a blow-out...
... all I remember is that as I was reaching my hand out to shake his, he slammed both hands on the control panel and then got up so hard and so fast that the stool he was sitting on just shot out behind him.
My cousin and a few other SRK posters I had met in line saw the whole thing and we were crying laughing. Japanese salt really is something else.
I watched this animation yesterday, top tier story, def gonna check the rest.
Obamatales are like crack, super addictive. Some of the older ones are on the Animeilluminati channel if you wanna see more of them.
@@flyingoctopus4304 >Animeilluminati
Why would I watch copycat sajam?
@@richman6974 Because Obama used to post on the channel and thus some of his videos were there.
Schadenfreude is what fuels all fighting game players
I got beat up so bad in a arcade once that i had to go to the hospital lmao
I was 16 y old and some dude in his 20 something just didnt liked losing to a kid...
Alsot here, back in the day, the arcade cabs had the controls side to side.
Countless times i would win a round and get smacked in the head and shit, i gave up a lot of fights in arcades so that i wouldnt be beat irl.
Arcades in the 90s were really weird ngl
Are you from L.A.? lol
I hope your parents sued the guy to oblivion
@@Y20XTongvaLand lmao nah man but I heard some stories 🤣
@@kingkong-gn6oi let's say back in the it wasn't as simple as it is today.
He hurt your body, but your body heals.
You crushed his spirit.
In China there was this famous incident that some guy stabbed another guy to death because the other guy hit him with Iori's super as anti air in KOF 97 which house rule was no raw super.
Wait what type of Rule is that???? Lmaoo
Damn, fucking sad
@@jeromerobinson6662 Old FGs are janky, a lot of house rules were made to deal with jank. Say in Japanese arcade SF2 throw loops were banned for obvious reasons. Infinites and some unblockables were banned from The Last Blade 2 also. KOF 97 has a lot of hitbox jank which leads to nearly full screen supers.
Point is people are so salty they actually kill for a game.
It turns out he didn't actually die, apparently.
www.orochinagi.com/2015/02/man-attacked-with-knife-over-kof97
The article states that the guy who threw out the super stabbed the other guy for getting 'jokingly' threatening. Also holy shit the amount of blood.
I can imagine being all "yeah I don't want to play against this character" online, but in person, when it costs money?
That's crazy
Should've extended the arm and said GGs to twist the knife 😄
I'd be scared to do that, there might be an actual knife hidden somewhere.
@@malcovich_games I mean, it's Japan
They stabbed each other over less trivial things in life honestly
"It's not enough that I should win. Others should also lose."
Everybody gangsta till q shows up to play q at the arcade
Legit the "I can't lose to this guy" phrase is similar to how I enter flow state in games too. Normally catch myself saying "why am I losing this right now" Then the brief spark of brilliance takes over for a fleeting moment.
The only reason I learned KI1, Soul Calibur 2, and GGXX was solely to chase people who were ducking me in the arcade. No escape, on GP.
1:05 "He was a Sagat player"
Say no more. I can save the next 4 and a half minutes of my time, and I understand this video perfectly.
its the only ecosystem where the endangered "Virtua Fighter" game could live
arcades or places that work like arcades are always full of salty people no matter where in the world it is
@4:00 There's no escaping lil bussy man!
Perhaps the 2002 documentary “Bang the Machine” wasn’t about trying to have sex with a large industrial apparatus after all.
Damn the old man has Q's cr HP lol
Why is it physically seeing someone frustrated as shit(in person or in their gameplay) in fighting games is such a treat?
I didn't have it happen physically, but in SFIV sometimes people would have their mics on and I don't think they knew it. I would hear them raging and just smile and do the things that made them angry even more and hear their mics crack.
Non-confrontational aggression is way scarier than real aggression.
Sometimes yes; sometimes it's pathetic.
As someone who has suffered physical violence for picking Rugal/K9999/Angel, I disagree
I dunno, I have seen people got their heads bashed in by picking Athena and spam "psychoball" in my country (Taiwan).
You don't know what real violence looks like if you think non-confrontational aggression is worse.
@@Ek0 For real, non-confrontational aggression is what bitches use when they're throwing a fit, it's a completely different situation when you have to face someone down in a violent manner, because nobody wins in that situation
rage from an opponent in any game can bring a smile to your face
I remember playing bloody roar in a GameStop on the display GameCube. And getting the handicap so high the giy I was fighting could kill me in like two hits. I was so pissed! Like after all that time winning I was so mad that the game said I had to lose. It's hella funny cause he loved it. He was having a great time just like, "a wins a win son." Meanwhile my 14yonself is fuming in the corner like, " that doesn't count. " Lol I cared so much about that loss.
It sounds like these machines just go through it
"Chasing people to different cabinet games." i definitely have done that but in racing games. Im petty like that.
I think casually leaving the machine and lighting up is admirable when someone picked USF4 Elena.
This vid makes me want to go to japan and play the melty blood arcade machine to make people salty.
There is a special type of satisfaction by making someone rage by playing fighting games. If I had arcades around me I wouldn’t be able to resist trolling people.
Translation request, how do you say "Iz only gaem! Y u heff 2 be mad?" in Japanese?
...preferably in Kansai dialect.
My Japanese is very rusty but:
これはゲームだけです。なぜ君は怒りますか。or “kore wa geemu dake desu. Naze kimi wa okorimasu ka.”
I used polite standard Japanese as well, that may make them madder tho.
i love making people mad in games, its a virtual space in which its alright to nag your friends :D
people who rage quit to rob you of the win don't realise that's just an extra awesome double win!
1:10 That was tighter than a 1 frame link
these anecdotes are hilarious lol
So much salt... So many scrubs...
ST Claw player Mao sometimes doesn't get opponents cause no one want to play against ST Claw.
Dodges happen in real life too.
I remember doing sidestep then mist step backdash to pre-empt df (for a parry opp) wait to df2 in Tekken 3-5 in the arcades. The groaning and cursing and shaking is music to me.
I was gonna say I dont understand this attitude but I got into magic the gathering arena because of the pandemic and I recognize a similar dread when I realize I'm going up against a mill deck. It might just be because im relatively new to mtg and dont have the experience countering it while I got over a decade of experience dealing with zoners, touch of death, and time scammers.
Mill/Burn inherently is all about not interacting with your opponent in TCG. The faster you adapt, the quicker you realize the situation being on a clock with resources.
I can relate to that adjustment. One time I was down but I thought to myself I don't have to lose to this person, I'm letting myself get hit by stuff that I didn't have to get hit by. I made the comeback
This.... this is what I desire.
Man those arcades gonna have to save more for the maintenance money.
People in Japanese arcades feel comfortable doing shit that would get your teeth kicked in if you did it in 90's America.
Daigo got punched in the face tho!
I think Jeremy was playing against Q himself
Fighting games will change a dude really easy
Damn, did you get called a scrupman too? :p
Beating someone 10 times straight on five round tekken is one of my all time greats
I'm just glad I can buy the game and not have to pay for every match
I can only imagine the salt pile I'd become if every loss cost me money
You can still imagine the same thing. YOu get salty in rank for a game you paid full price for and you keep coming back thinking your saltiness isn't affecting your gameplay at all.
There’s a bunch of crazy guys like that at my local round 1 lol. Can’t wait for covid to be over so I can see them all again haha
You think that's bad? You know what happens in fighting game arcade cabinets in Brazil?
Nothing, there aren't any.
In some cases the match continue to real life too. Can't say I missed the arcade scene.
Fighting games are like golf, confirmed
Since the guy's channel has been terminated, I guess the clip of his Obamatales video in this video is the only snippet that still exists on the net.
Throwing people could get you physically assaulted where i grew up
Honestly for Elena I get it
that video from Obama made me subscribe to him.
One time I wanted to play sfiv at an arcade with my gf. So we get up to a cabinet everything is in Japanese, i accidentally end up challenging the guy across from me. I felt kinda bad for stealing his spot, but I had an awesome date that night so not too baf
I mean I can't even blame people for walking away from an Elena pick though. Who the fuck wants to deal with that mess of a shitty programmed hurtbox.
Surprise someone didn't get shanked in Japanese arcade, ever
But I digest, after all it's the same as plugging a match
That was daigo
I know he isnt japanese but werent there stories of Qudans almost starting fights because he was hellsweeping too much lmao
this is why i use ad blocker.
I got beat by a old japanese tourist in my local arcade (in Paris). Bruh I lost 5-2 I never felt so proud of myself 😂😂 but local players here are salty too there's also a meta you have to learn.
I fought against a gouki player at round 1 once and i won a bunch of matches in usf4 and he keeps sighing and said good games until he decided to throw racial stereotypes and slurs at me with his friends when he left.
You're just like me, only that you have a beard, nice vid
It's neat and all to recognize that salt over FGs is universal, but there's also valuable insight to be gleaned in how differently the cultures on average are expected to handle it. The Japanese players may slam their fist against the cab, they might get up and walk away at the sight of a certain character, but that passive-aggressive behavior is still a stark contrast compared to the stories of shouting matches and literal irl fights that pepper the history of arcades in western locales.
Uh daigo talks about getting beaten up when he was a kid all the time over fgs
A dude got stabbed over a KoF match in china
I was the only white dude in a latino fgc. Oh my god, never have I learned so many swear words in spanish and I was 8. They were directed at me!
But I was told the Japanese were polite and passive people.
No they are passive aggressive
Pretty easy to understand why players would refuse to fight the umpteenth yun, rose or Elena in an arcade full of other possible interactions
it’s lame to make your opponent waste their money just one and done them
It’s wild to me that people, full-on ADULTS, in Japan can actually get mad like that towards a machine. Like, I used to kick machines when I lost as a little kid but holy fuck. I couldn’t imagine doing that as an adult and in public. It’s a different story if you’re in a public tournament with your own controllers or sticks and rage throw that because it’s yours. But abusing a CABINET?? That’s OF the ARCADE??? Btw, do Japanese arcades ban people for that?
would you rather they get mad towards you and beat you up or stab you like in the rest of the world?
Don't need to learn BB to kick their ass when you can just kick their ass IRL, I ain't playin if you make me spend money on a dropped game my dude, that's 75 cents you're gonna be good for whether you want to or not
Chasing someone around an arcade to prove a point... sounds like some 12 year old goon bs. lol. Why cant fighting game players just have fun? If you really want to prove something, go do martial arts.
Nah its hilarious
People don't have to put up with you, either in a video game or irl, so yeah I guess go ahead and call them cowards for literally opting to not interact with you anymore lmao
Damn your soft lmao. Imagine defending someone so immature they're slamming an arcade cabinet. And running away
Leaving an arcade machine because someone picked a character you dont like to play against is incredibly Petty and lame
They're cowards for being soft ass sad Bois who will wait to waste your coin instead of just leaving and learning from the loss
Put up with what? Better at the game? FGs are literally 1 on 1 duels, you choose to fight, there's no "put up with".
They don’t have to put up with me, and I don’t have to respect them for RQing.
