No More Play Spot UFO?


Aniken wrote on his blog that Nagase UFO is closing shop.

UFO was a Kansai Super Turbo hotspot where you could play for 20 yen. Various tough guys like Aniken, Otochun, ShootingD, Komoda and Mayakon spent a lot of time duking it out there. Both Daigo and Nuki visited to step their game up before major tournaments.

Aniken, Otochun and ShootingD are changing their SBO team name from "Kansai Gougakuren" to "Nagase UFO."

  1. Wow, Nagase UFO shutting down is saddening. I remember from YBH that every top Kansai player frequented that arcade. I'm guessing the 7/25 qualifiers will be a swan song of sorts.

    It's a shame we have so little western information on the Kansai scene. It'll be interesting to see which arcade becomes the new Osaka ST hot spot (sort of like how More heads seem to have transitioned to Mikado in Tokyo).

  3. I just read Aniken's latest blog entires. Pretty sad news, but as he says, he still has the fighting spirit to continue playing SF2!
