Hmm... Interesting. So it would seem that they somehow bought the cabs themselves and are connecting to the asian network?

Because from said interview:

--- Quote ---ARIS: Now it – does that mean that that one machine that comes to Round 1 in America, it will be impossible for that machine to piggyback and connect to Japan? Because the Internet’s the Internet. It – Will there be a way? Impossible?

TRANSLATOR: That’s quite long, but I know what he’s talking about, so. So – if you remember the Tekken 6 with the cards, we had one card per character. So you could have close to 40 cards. And that was a terrible burden. A lot of people complained about it. So the current system is, you have a [INAUDIBLE] passport. It’s one. And there are no types of really different cards. You know, you can’t find some cards that has this huge volume where you can store all your characters on it. So what we do is you have one that connect, and it goes and it fetches your data from the system. And that feeds everything. It feeds the color of the costume, your customization, everything. For two characters. But, you know, for any of the characters that you might select or have registered all with one card. So that pulls it from the network at that instant. You’re playing against another person, so obviously you’re doing – they’re playing whatever and you come in. They – it needs to react right away. And to do that, it has to be close by. There’s no way that you could do that, go over to Japan and have it – first of all, to be stable, it has to always work because one thing that’s hugely different from the console market is you have people pay – at least in Japan, I don’t know what the current prices in the US – 100. So, like, like a dollar each time you play. If they have to wait or if there’s a system error or something, that’s just not acceptable for paying every time you play. So it has to be right there. And if something did happen to the system, which often – it quite often does, you can’t have people from Japan easily or quickly deal with the problem across the ocean on a different time zone, different continent. You would have to have staff up there specifically for that and/or to the [INAUDIBLE]. So it really isn’t quite as easy as it might seem [INAUDIBLE].

If i'm correct, Round 1 arcades are originally from Japan and I guess they branched out to North America. Also, regarding the cards, the website where all the information is stored has its own website for asia/oceania and a website for north american card users. And I'm pretty sure that Tekken Tag 2 cards don't have the one card per character rule. (Sorry, I don't know anything about the arcade history of Tekken 6. I played Tekken 5 but I stopped because I didn't have the next gen console to play tekken 6 at the time. I got back into tekken right after evo 2013 concluded.)

Well, I'm late with all these greetings, but hi! Welcome to the forums.

Hibiki is a great idol and fighting games are amazing. I'm a pretty big Tekken fan myself, even if I only own one of the games =P I freak whenever I spot an arcade console anywhere around here. My local burger place used to have one before they replaced it with a dang claw machine. I was mad for--well, I'm still mad, actually.
Aaaanyways. Nice to meet you!
