Arcades in my area are dead. So are fighting game fans. There's only one near me that I know, and he's not really hardcore. The only chance I have is online really, and I don't really go for it.
At the very least, I found some place with a Razing Storm machine and got to play it. It's actually quite easy to play that game for survival, bonus stage excepting. Ghost Squad... I don't like too much.
