SoCal SF4 Cabinet: Family Fun Arcade in Granada Hills, CA

In my quest to play more off-line opponents, I found this little arcade in SoCal with two cabinets and a slick stick setup. The main cab is the dual-screen you see here (46" HD Monitors) but each side has two sets of buttons/stick. There's both an old school US Happ bat-top stick/button combo and a Japanese style Sanwa ball-top/button combo. You just flip a switch and pick the one you want!

The other setup is a more traditional single monitor with two sticks but I didn't try that one out. Anyway, the competition was definitely better than on XBOX Live and the atmosphere is pretty relaxed. It's not crazy loud like Arcade Infinity and there's drinks/snacks/chairs all over the place. I think they are open until 2AM on weekdays and 4AM on weekends. Price was .50 cents a game though it may be more on weekends. There's also tons of other fighters there including Marvel, CvS, etc.

All in all, a pretty decent spot that's much closer to me than AI and Vid94 though not quite the level of competition. Mad props to the nasty Chun Li I met tonight though (I think his name was Dustin or Justin). Good games man, you were the only one I traded games with!

YO Dees! I just read your caption. That's me! Good games Man. Are you going to the Tourney on Saturday?

@eightiesix: I didn't realize there was one. Not sure I can get off work but if I can I'll swing by.

Sadly I only have XBOX and PC versions of the game.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. When I play on my 360 at home I have mad execution, but when I go to the arcade I have to slow down my links by like 10%, it's weird as hell.

I go there all the time. I have a little reputation playin' as El Fuerte.

I read online somewhere that they had a cab now in Ackerman Union? I just graduated there this spring.

Put "pjdwwf6vaIE" into a Youtube search, which shows the XBOX vs. PS3. Not sure where the arcade one is.

The difference seems so small but the pros at WCW were talking about it constantly, saying the Xbox was quicker than the arcade.
