You were just a pussy OP.

I grew up in a rough neighborhood then we moved to a really nice neighborhood when I was like in 7th grade.

Highschool seniors used to pick on us all the time. Finally stopped when I kicked one in the balls and knocked 2 of his teeth out with a massive uppercut when he bent over. They didn't fuck with us after that.

I still see him around, we call him "Bucky" now. Dudes the biggest fucking loser you've ever met. Getting your ass beat by a 7th grader probably ain't good for your Senior highschool streetcred.

>>2584426
At least they didn't try to fuck you in the bathroom.

>>2584468
look at this badass

Latin American third worlder.

The worst thing that happened to me is other kids near my age telling me that they had an older brother outside the Arcade place, and that he would beat me if I didnt give them money or arcade machine tokens.
Didnt give them any money.

I was pretty good at fighting games, but it was considered fair game if you were playing against the machine, and someone put a token in the machine to try to beat you and make you stop playing.

>>2584426
>but it was occupied by older college aged dudes.

I often wonder where these people are now. I remember playing Magic in the Alpha days when it first came out. I was around 13 those days, mostly playing with college or older crowd. I wonder what they ever did with their lives.
I also wonder this when seeing old game show clips from Nickeloedon, where the kids would say their dreams or future aspirations. Did they ever make it, I wonder...

>>2584469
o.O

Nice story.

One time I took a shit in the palm of my hand and smeared it all over my face laughing maniacally the whole time.

>>2584491

>>2584479

Anon you must have problems to project racial hate over that story.

>>2584506
I think he meant he is the latin third worlder.

>>2584515
Exactly, that is what I meant. No racial hatred in the story.

>>2584426
>Around 13 years of age.
>Playing MVC2 in da arcade.
>Dont know any special moves just button mashin like a mother fucker.
>Older dude watching and asks if he can play.
>ok
>Proceed to button mash as hard as possible and I actually win the first round.
>Next round he stomps the fuck out of me.
>Realize he let me win the first round to be nice.
>I still suck at fighting games ever since.

There are assholes in life but there are also cool bros that let you win.

>>2584479
>>2584515
>>2584518
Yeah, if dude wants to admit he's a shitskin then what's your problem?

>>2584546

Tool story crow

>>2584491
I lold

As for me, arcade cabinets weren't all that popular amongst friends my age growing up unless you were at a particularly large arcade. So whenever I did play games, I was normally just with my brother.

>>2584560
white bois are too scared to visit the arcades ;^)

Only ever played dance games in arcades coz I was fabulous.

>>2584426
>I cried

The fuck is wrong with you?

>>2584426

>not understanding that children cry a lot

When I bought my NinjaWarriors cabinet I passed on one of these 6 player X-Men cabinets because it would have taken up even more floor space. Those things have enough empty space in the middle I could have gotten stools and just used it as my dining room table.

The sad thing is that I could have had a Time Traveler instead. It just didn't have a price tag on it but it was on the arcade's sheet at the same price, I just didn't ask.

When I was on vacation about 8 or 9 years ago I went to an arcade in Edmonton. I'm from some shitty small town so we don't really have any arcades, so for me it was a pretty big treat. At that time I was really into Soul Calibur II for the GameCube even though it had come out a few years prior. So when I noticed the arcade had a SCIII machine I instantly gravitated towards it, and since Namco decided not to release III for the GC I decided I would spend most of my time playing that machine since I probably wouldn't get a chance to play the game again.

So I'm playing through single player with Nightmare for about 5, maybe 10 minutes when all of the sudden some ~35 year old guy in a white jumpsuit, Ali-G looking motherfucker walks up to the machine and starts stretching like he's getting ready to run a marathon. He even jogged in place and, I shit you not; did some shadowboxing while exhaling pretty violently. After he cracked his neck and his fingers (at this point I noticed he was wearing fingerless gloves), he throws a quarter in the machine and challenges me right as I'm playing through the single-player campaign.

No "hello", no "mind if I join?", no anything. 0 communication. He then proceeded to whoop my ass with Maxi. Like, 100% fucked my shit up. I want to say part of it was nerves, because I didn't know this guy and he was really playing the intimidation card up, but I do have to admit that he was miles better than me; he got a "Perfect" in round 2. I even tried challenging him with some quarters of my own, but to no avail. The guy simply would not give up the machine.

Having grown up in a smaller town were most of the arcades died with the arcade fad in the late 80s I had never really experienced one before that. I asked my uncle who grew up in the 80s if that kind of stuff was common, he said that challenging a random person was, but not talking to me, and warming up like he was about to fight Tyson was pretty fucking strange.

>>2584976

You don't remember being 8?

>>2586282
>I asked my uncle who grew up in the 80s if that kind of stuff was common, he said that challenging a random person was, but not talking to me, and warming up like he was about to fight Tyson was pretty fucking strange.

People would at most tell you to prepare for a whuppin' before dropping their quarter, and polite folk would ask before coining up and probably make small talk.

Prancing like a prima-donna is some downright autismal shit.

>>2586282
Dude sounds fucking bad-ass.

>>2586207
Holy shit Time Travellar! I was trying to remember that game/cabinet for so long. Played it as a kid at an arcade, was blown away by it.

I remember being a kid and playing a sole SF2 arcade machine at a video rental place, like once or twice a week or whenever my poor ass could scrounge a dollar. Street Fighter was hot shit and even though I wasn't that good it was still a big draw for me.
I was playing it alone and some grubby older kid comes up to the machine, says a little rhyming thing that ends with "and I'm the king of Street Fighter 2", puts his coin in and proceeds to Hadouken the shit out of me.
I'll never forget that retarded looking fucker who kicked my ass on Street Fighter when I was 10 years old...

>>2584426

this story pretty much sums up why game consoles have been selling like hotcakes for 3 decades now...

>>2584426
reminds me of the douchebags that'd hog the street fighter cabinet

>>2586282
maxi is a total cheesefest, in the hands of a buttonmasher that piece of shit will put a beating on skilled players

>>2584506

Anon you really need to learn how to read.

Hey kid, Kujo Jotaro wants his jacket back

Breath through your nose for once in your life.

jojo is a FABULOUS cartoon, though

>>2584560
there are guys in latin america that are whiter than 75% of your whitest people. never mind that though, I love racism! make more jokes, please. do you have any nigger ones? how about jews? sandniggers? wetbacks? chinks? I love jokes about fucking retards, too! I'm sure you're tempted to make this brilliant, groundbreaking joke about me being one or all of these things. man, I can't wait! you rock anon, racist jokes are the best!

I have a fantasy of being a rich kid with tons of quarters and playing that X-Men arcade game and then catching other kids walking by and asking them to help me beat it and I would pay for all their lives. The machine would have every spot taken and we'd all be struggling to win but eventually pull through.

The only time I ever felt like an arcade badass...

>>2588138
too much vidja playing

>>2584468
you post on 4chan

YOU ARE A LOSER

>>2588110

the world needs more people like you...

>>2584506
get out, sjw.

>>2584426
One day I was playing gameboy advance in my room and my sister asked if i wanted to have lunch and i said no

After a few seconds my dad stormed into my room shouting at me, threw my GBA into the floor and smashed it with his feet repeatedly like a maniac

My mom came to see what was going on and my dad left screaming at us both
I think i never cried so much for a electronic device

I read this nasty arcade memory on the Gamefaqs arcade forum years ago: This guy was really playing an arcade cabinet with vigor, but he failed to notice a spittoon full of tobacco spit perched precariously on top of the machine. The entire spittoon proceeded to dump it's foul contents on the guy's head.

Classic.

>>2594618
yeah no, that didn't happen

>>2587994
This is true but you clearly aren't one of them.

>>2594604

sounds like you're leaving out the part of that story regarding what your father was mad about... i don't buy those "so there i was, just minding my own business when..." stories regarding violence... you knowingly did SOMETHING to piss him off.

>>2594658
you are either extremely sheltered or have your own issues that you are avoiding.

>>2594658
My dad had anger issues. Stuff like this happened from time to time. Tbh I didn't know he was home so I felt betrayed by my sister.
After some time we got the GBA screen replaced for 30€ and it worked perfectly except for the speaker wich sounded very low.

>>2594718
>Tbh
I want this meme to die, your dad didn't beat you hard enough.

>>2594726
It's an acronym for "To be honest", and if it makes you so mad you should consider getting out of your cave and trying to socialize a bit more.

>>2594736
Except the cancer took the term over and now it's an acronym for "I'm severally retarded".

>>2594640
I believed it when I read the original post on Gamefaqs. It seems too bizarre to be made up. I can picture the whole incident in my mind; really disgusting.

>>2594757

smh rlx fam

>>2594618
>spitoon over his head
has he playing the game in a saloon from an early comedy silent film or something?

>>2594780
Nah, I imagine it was something like this full of spit and probably in some hellhole bar with sawdust on the floor or a pool hall. Definitely not an ornate brass affair from Tombstone. The original Gamefaqs post didn't use the word spittoon either, but it is the word for a "bucket of tobacco spit" (as the source put it).

>>2594803
I can't even imagine a place like that having something like that in that timeframe, where the hell would you live where most everyone that went to a bar chewed tabaco? and not only that, why the hell would they store the bucket above an arcade game?

>>2594817
It may have just been a big cup full of it chaw and drool someone left up there. See it a bunch around here.
Store I used to worked at my boss would chew and spit in this 32oz cup all day, it'd be like 2/3rd full by the end of the day. One night he left his spit-cup behind the counter. Another co-worker thought is was her iced tea, grabbed the cup and drank it without looking. She actually swallowed an entire gulp then started freaking and screaming. I thought we were being robbed or something so ran out to help and shes on floor crying, she was nauseous to the point of dry heaves for about 15mins.

>>2584426
>My turn never came
Did you didn't quarter up?

>>2584481
Most of us have exciting well paying jobs in the gaming or other tech industry and banging hot wives. I'm sure some turned out to be losers but none I know.

>>2584426
>given $20 to play game that costs no more than 50cents
>obv sucks
>never considers playing other games with TWENTY FUCKING DOLLARS
You were a stupid, spoiled child, anon.

>>>/r9k/

You sorry sacks of shit.

>>2584426


Should have yelled "WELL I AM SORRY YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY AS THE NIGGER BUT SOME PEOPLE LIKE THAT CHARACTER"

Management would have ran them out fast and freed up the game for you.


Stupid kid.

>>2597083
This. If I had $20 as a kid to spend in an arcade I would have thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

>>2597170
For serious. And to the nutter saying that people boxing out machines contributed to the death of arcades, you're way off pally. That was part of the culture (if I must label) along with the competitive side. Redemption-style games were the bringer of death. Focus shifted from digital games of skill to largely analog style. If you pumped in enough money you could walk away with some "sweet prizes". This brought in more families and more money.
OP got 20 bucks as an 8 year old. Being middle class, at that age (and older) I would muster 2 dollars, tops. Half of that would be for the x-men cota/marvel super heroes ilk. The rest a random 'why not?' play (usually Area 51).

>>2597449
Also the fact that regular arcade machines were quickly becoming obsolete with the technological advancement of consoles and PC's
Why spend money on XMen for a few minutes play when I could rent/buy a comparable beat em up and play in the comfort of my own home at my own leisure?

>>2584426
>When I was a 8 yr old kid
Hard to believe this happens today. Or how ever many weeks ago that was. I feel inexplicable epithetic rage and will join you in jihaid against these inhumane monsters.

>>2588110
You're cool anon.

>>2584426

you have to put a quarter up, you dummy

did you never learn this?

>>2584426
Your problem was that you never put your quarter up there on the corner. That was undeniable proof you were next.

>>2600472
He was 8 yeas old and just over 2 foot high. He couldn't reach.

CP system 2 stuff, someone?

>>2600503
>8 years
>2 feet

Do you live in a midget colony?

>>2600516
I'm not OP. I suspect OP didn't live in a midget colony otherwise the arcade would have been midget friendly. But OP was either a midget or a retard. Anyone else would have quartered up.

>>2600509
From that series I have Marvel vs Capcom and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter, I think. Both green/JP boards.

>>2584481
>playing magic
I have a box of old magic cards. I tried to play recently but I didn't like the mechanics of the current set

When I was 22 I was playing the classic X-Men arcade game with 4 of my buddies and we were almost going to beat it, but we needed help with the last boss. I looked around, desperate for a sixth player, and spotted a young kid watching us play with his pockets bulging with what looked to be at least 20 bucks worth of quarters. I called out to him to jump in and save the day but instead of responding he started autistically punching himself in the forehead while making motorcycle noises, then he ran away crying.

We never did beat the game.

>>2601493

>>2584426
$20 dollars? I would get $1.
I had to make that shit count.

So what OP is trying to say is that he was just as big a faggot back then as he is now.

>>2601493
>>2601771

>>2594640
people spitting their tabbacy dip into cups/cans is common in the south

>>2602994
Depends on where in the South. I've never seen it in 30+ years in my state but I've seen it multiple times in South Carolina while on vacation. Shit's nasty.

>>2602994
Yeah, that makes the story even more plausible as it could have been something like this full of tobacco spit balanced on top of a machine. Just imagine it dumping on your head: worst arcade memory ever.

>>2606756
>>2602994
The term "spitoon" makes it sound like some old west Marty Mcfly saloon type shit, an old cup or can full of that disgusting redneck junk sounds realistic if it was down south.

>>2584469
That was a memorable summer.
