In other words, I can't buy anything from the Playstation store, making any game with DLC far more appealing on the 360. |

Europe, however... I believe I heard it was because Europe has a wide range of currencies, even with the Euro. Because they can't make EU specific cards, and have to watch and create cards for each country with a specific currency, they've chosen not to. Or so I've heard, whatever the reason, the EU PSN is credit card only. |

When I said hardcore, I especially mean TAGER himself. You can easily see that he took lot lot of projectile attacks. His life is about 10% and yet he could win by pulling off just only one succeed combo. This guy is very tough. I've seen him playing TAGER against Hakumen and Rachel in this tournament. Hakumen was finished within less than 4 mins (4 rounds). Rachel player was also forced to play like V-13 after losing in first round but she still lost though. I'm quite impressed with V-13 air combo and TAGER combo too. You couldn't blame V-13 for playing like that. Because I guess no one want to go near a truly pro TAGER except you're playing as close combat character.

For Singapore players, there's a Blazblue Tournament at Iluma's arcade this Saturday at 3pm.
I'm going to watch my friend who's participating. He's the type who can play for hours with a single token, if there are lots of challengers. Its probably cheaper for him to play in the arcade than paying electricity bills at home lol

Stocks are not moving as fast as I thought given the positive buzz online. And it's certainly very slow given how fast I managed to clear my first initial batch of SF4 earlier this year. Goes to show how the local gamers perfer more established titles over new experimental type. |

But yesterday I visited both Bugis and Iluma arcades and the Blazblue machines were mostly empty. I got challenged by some guy whom I think was practicing for the tournament and lost lol. Because I've not been training Rachel on arcade sticks, I can't pull off combos, this loss decided that I'm going to buy an arcade stick this Saturday after the tournament. The Blazblue craze seem to come and go quick in Singapore. Singaporeans are still stuck to Street Fighter, KOF and Tekken, Arcsys games are not as popular. You can see the 3 big series always have their entire row of machines fully taken up, Blazblue and Guilty Gear always has vacancies.

While we can get lots of side stream games and anime merchandise, they are still largely unnoticed. Just look at the Cosfest earlier on, its the usual shounen(minus One Piece again) and Gundam SEED and 00. Was amazing that there was a group of Blazblue cosplayers though.

I have a theory of my own here.
Arcsys FIG has akways appealed to those hardcore gaming Otaku who don't mind spending big bucks to be perfect at their craft. As you can see from GGXX with the outlandish characters and deep complex system. The locals, as they are, are first turn off by those cartoonish characters and if they are not, by the fast paced action. A far cry from those more realistical moves of SF, KOF and Tekken. But if there's one thing about GG and BB. It's helps to identify the likes of us from them. If you see someone playing, enjoying BB and don't mind the machines chowing down tokens after tokens.Chances are he's one of us. |

As you can see, Singapore has embraced otakuism with open arms. They have commercials and advertisements for 'otaku events', shops with 'otaku' in the shop name.
But Singaporeans really don't know what otaku really are lol, most think about the standard 'zai nan' and don't think too much about what we otakus really are like. There are only a small handful of these 'otakus' that are as hardcore as us, most don't know anything past Evangelion and they don't know what led to Evangelion as well. The rest are all Shounen(minus One Piece), Shana, Gundam SEED/00, sometimes Haruhi plus one or two random sidestream anime.

I just know that Shana is considered "mainstream" O_o.
My friend is also living in Singapore, and from what I heard from them, it's kinda hard to access anime and manga material, especially through torrent way.
