| This post is to see if there are any New York players of IDAS4. Even though the numbers are low their still is a chance that anyone from New York here playes IDAS4. |
| Posted by: akira86 Jun 23 2009, 05:16 PM |
| wow i guess no one on initial d forums plays in new york. |
| Posted by: brian mayhem Jun 23 2009, 05:20 PM | ||
The only place I know in new york that has it is in Rochester at Hammergirl Anime. |
| Posted by: akira86 Jun 23 2009, 07:50 PM | ||

I've seen you around CF(Chinatown Fair) before... I'm Miu, race me sometime on DH Akina. Best players I've seen in NY is Kenza/Cloud, Fai, AE86, and that's about it. Don't be a stranger to me when you see me, I'll be around the either the ITG machines or the ID4 machines. |

Rochester was better when Luke had IDv3. If you were getting bored of that, You could go next door to Arena 51 and play on an ITG2 dedicab. Sweet deal if you ask me. I wouldn't be surprised if Carousel in Syracuse got it if they are still going through with the addition project the mall is getting. |

oh I remember u, yeh ill see if i can pass by more because im from Long Island so the buses and trains take a while. |

i don't check the forums too regularly anymore :\ i played at chinatown fair for a while when i was living in nyc. i just moved to pennsylvania so i don't get a chance to play much idv4 since there are no arcades that have it here. hopefully i'll see some of you guys there when i head down in a few weeks! |
| Posted by: akira86 Jul 22 2009, 08:48 PM |
| IDAS4 is starting to die out in Chinatown fair even though i go there, but seems like most players quit and nobody realy wants to spend $1.50 each play. |
| Posted by: RX93ZZ Jul 30 2009, 05:57 AM |
| (heh I never check these fourums enough) But yeah I play up in rochester too. Kindah sucks since it's an hour drive from where I live(Batavia) but at least they got it. I just wish there were more people to race. I'm kind of getting sick of the legend of the streets mode... |
| Posted by: akira86 Jul 30 2009, 07:15 PM | ||
Same here, in NYC there is a more larger population of beginers than ppl to battle. |
| Posted by: akira86 Aug 14 2009, 11:12 PM |
| I know there are some more initial D players out there on this forum but seems like they cant find it. eh wish more ppl wer posting on this topic. |
| Posted by: HALO Sep 8 2009, 07:19 PM |
| well, i've moved back to nyc. chinatown fair should be packed this weekend, there's a HUGE sf4 tourney saturday morning. if anyone would like to meet up for a race shoot me a message! |
| Posted by: akira86 Sep 11 2009, 06:04 PM |
| i havent been able to swing by and get a few runs in cus takes my whole day up to go to chinatown then come home at like 1 am . |
| Posted by: HALO Sep 12 2009, 07:43 AM | ||
ah, sucks to hear man  where in ny are you from? feel free to hit me up on AIM, mine's in my profile. |
| Posted by: akira86 Sep 12 2009, 06:59 PM | ||
I live on Long Island, Nassau area and its like a 2 hour bus and train ride to get to chinatown. |
| Posted by: wtf?! Sep 13 2009, 06:04 AM |
Another problem with the Chinatown Fair machines is that too many people complain that the wheels are messed up  ...though I DO admit the right-side one can get a little loose. Egh....Miu lol that race in Akina with your EA11R vs my RPS13 was fun..I've been starting to use the car more too. Upgrade your EA11R and I wanna race it again.Speaking of which, i might be at Chinatown Fair sometime tonight |
| Posted by: RX93ZZ Sep 15 2009, 06:41 PM |
| I play at hammergirl in Rochester. I'm only around every couple of weekends because of school,but I race a FD3S(Yellow of course). My name's Joe btw... |
| Posted by: HALO Sep 16 2009, 08:21 AM | ||
the right side at chinatown fair is damn near impossible to play on and has been giving a lot of issues with card reading/printing too  apparently the owner is an ID fan, we spoke with him about getting IDAS5 whenever the international version is available and he seemed genuinely excited, so we may see it sometime soon! i've still gotta shave a few more seconds off my iro/tsukuba times to make the records list so probably be down there sometime tomorrow and friday between 12:30 and 2:00 for a few races if anyone's interested  |
| Posted by: wtf?! Sep 16 2009, 03:34 PM | ||
damn lol HALO i remember the last time i watched you play you were just finishing up Takumi in Tsubaka and that was like a year ago...no ive probably seen you before that too i just dont remember. Ahh can't wait for IDAS5, who is the owner of the arcade? I've heard that he comes around and plays sometimes but i've never seen him.. and i'll see if i can make it tomorrow at around 1ish, as long as my class starts later...idk i dont find music to be a full on subject, so missing a day wouldnt hurt me... Oh yeah another note on the right-side machine at chinatown fair; the wheel is all screwed the hell up, it's been on and off like that for idk how long now, but it'll lock up on you, and then release, causing you oversteer or understeer certain turns, it calls for a lot more focus and skill to drive straight with it  |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 16 2009, 04:00 PM |
| Dude I don't know who you talked too, but I highly doubt CTF will get ID5. They have lost so much money on that machine why would they spend more money on an upgrade that no one plays on. Good luck praying. |
| Posted by: HALO Sep 16 2009, 08:02 PM | ||
my parade has been rained on. |
| Posted by: akira86 Sep 17 2009, 06:05 PM |
| Dam it sux for me, i havent played in a month but i hope the time for me to come back again is coming closer. It would be cool for alot of the idforums members posting here to meet up one day. |
| Posted by: brian mayhem Sep 17 2009, 06:22 PM | ||
Some have up in Rochester before for some tournaments that have been run. I've met Halo before in Steamtown when I was noob. I haven't played seriously pretty much since then. Unless Special Stage counts. |
| Posted by: akira86 Sep 19 2009, 09:39 PM | ||
It would be good if at least they lowerd the price for one play cus $1.50 is killing peoples pockets and not many new players even want to touch it in Chinatown Fair cus of the price. If it was lowerd to atleast $1-1.25 they will see a big jump in amount of ppl. dam it would be good to get a bunch of IDAS4 players from Chinatown fair to all ask the guy that works there to lower the price. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 20 2009, 10:51 AM |
| Be happy it's 1.50 now. Used to be 2 dollars per game. Oh yeah and... I'm the reason why the machine used to take dollar bills only  If you ask me why I'll give you an answer. You guys might be paying 1.50 now... I could be paying .75 but would probably ruin it for the rest of you when the price gets jacked up again. So don't worry I won't do it. |
| Posted by: gns64 Sep 20 2009, 01:02 PM |
| Foreign coins? That's what I would guess. |
| Posted by: akira86 Sep 20 2009, 02:57 PM | ||
is there any posiblilty that the price will be lowerd because the amount of new players or regulars are very low. if the price was .75 then a huge amount of customers would play. making chinatown fair have better buisness. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Sep 30 2009, 08:12 AM | ||
Chuck-E-Cheese coupons BOGO tokens. half off lol |
| Posted by: akira86 Oct 1 2009, 06:12 PM | ||
Hmm was that a joke or realy how to get low price?!? |
| Posted by: Weezy Oct 2 2009, 10:50 AM | ||
I think it's real because one of my friend said he used chuck e cheese tokens to play but I haven't seen him do it so I will take his word for it. |
| Posted by: akira86 Oct 5 2009, 05:34 PM |
| Now im going to look all around my house for some old chuck-e-cheese tokens. |
| Posted by: HALO Oct 13 2009, 06:19 PM |
| still looking for some decent races, will be there every day this week from 12-3pm someone pleeeeaaassseeee show up |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Oct 14 2009, 07:14 AM | ||
If you sign up they e-mail you coupons for discounts on tokens. It's totally worth it |
| Posted by: akira86 Oct 17 2009, 10:13 PM |
| eversince school began i have not layed IDAS4 in months |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Oct 19 2009, 05:25 PM |
| ID3>ID4 That's my plan and I'm sticking too it |
| Posted by: HALO Oct 20 2009, 07:30 PM | ||
where can i find this "id3" you speak of?  |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Oct 21 2009, 08:05 AM |
| PPG Peter Pan Games in Bayside Queens Then there is 1 in Long Island. That's really all that I know of, unless there is still a machine at Grand Billiards in Manhattan |
| Posted by: HALO Oct 21 2009, 06:00 PM | ||
i called them sometime last year and they said they didn't have it anymore :\ |
| Posted by: akira86 Oct 23 2009, 11:11 PM | ||
where in long island is there a ver 3????!!! |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Oct 26 2009, 10:47 AM |
| Tri County Flea market I'll let you know this friday, I'll stop by to see if it's still there |
| Posted by: wssh Nov 8 2009, 07:00 PM |
| Still going to CF after school around 4ish... still don't see nobody play or put up a challenge for me. |
| Posted by: Lukav Nov 9 2009, 12:32 PM |
| Just moved to Rochester, I think I'm going to go check out Hammergirl tomorrow night. Thanks for the info....can anyone confirm its this place: http://www.hammergirlanime.com/index.asp?PageAction=COMPANY thanks, |
| Posted by: brian mayhem Nov 9 2009, 02:22 PM |
| That's the place. Right next to Arena 51 that has the ITG2 dedicab. I was thinking about checking it out on thursday when I have some downtime from work. I never played v4 but it would be nice if someone could show me the ropes. Lol. |
| Posted by: Lukav Nov 9 2009, 02:26 PM |
| same here with v4, maybe i'll wait and go thursday too, thanks for the confirmation. |
| Posted by: wssh Nov 9 2009, 03:42 PM |
| I would, but I'm not going all the way to Flushing just for ID4. |
| Posted by: brian mayhem Nov 12 2009, 01:56 PM |
| I didn't end up going. Went to tear up IDv2 in Ithaca instead. |
| Posted by: akira86 Nov 24 2009, 04:57 PM |
| i came every sunday to chinatown fair to play and both cabs have 0 cards and i need to renew my card. im soooo pissed, anyone know if they have cards now? |
| Posted by: deathstrike Dec 21 2009, 12:58 PM |
| I play at china town fair Don't have a card but I am going to get one today I am looking for people to play intinal d with. |
| Posted by: DragonR Jan 25 2010, 10:48 AM | ||||
where is there a ID4 in Flushing!?!? I know there was one in bubble tea cafe before they closed... but I havent seen one in Flushing in forever.
Peter pan doesnt have initial d anymore? I just played there in september! |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Jan 25 2010, 01:43 PM |
| No PPG has ID GB doesn't |
| Posted by: brian mayhem Jan 29 2010, 01:33 PM |
| Version 2 in Ithaca owns everything else in New York. I have a hunch though, that there might be a ID4 in Kingston. |
| Posted by: HALO Feb 8 2010, 10:16 AM |
| Would anyone be interested in setting up a meet at chinatown fair (or any other location)? Maybe one weekend in a few weeks? I know people don't check this too regularly, so we can give it some time. Even if we just get a handful of people it might be fun. |
| Posted by: akira86 Feb 10 2010, 05:37 PM | ||
Its best to wait till the summer time wen the wheather is btr |
| Posted by: HALO Feb 18 2010, 01:45 PM |
| Just played against this kid kenza, I've never seen anyone this good. Those jerky movements seem so weird...I'm amazed they work, I never thought to play like that! Its really nothing like any previous versions o.O |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Feb 21 2010, 07:33 AM |
| Kenza used to play V3 many years ago. I beat him back then, along with Roger (ninja) Not like you guys know about him. He was probably the best NYC player without question |
| Posted by: wssh Feb 23 2010, 04:51 AM | ||
I beat him by shear luck once, on Tsukuba. He was using the crappy machine on the right of CF with a stock Cappu. Didn't feel like I won though. |
| Posted by: akira86 Feb 23 2010, 08:48 PM | ||
yeh he became my first IDAS4 idol, i got used to using his steering ways, it give kinda a quicker reaction. |
| Posted by: deathstrike Mar 6 2010, 10:02 PM |
| Kenzai YEA i played him a few times he beat me quite a few times lol only two victory but that was before I had my card so yea I have my initinal d card I think this week they are going to have intinal cards so yea. I might go to china town fair tommrow to play on intinal d so if anyone wants to challenge let me know my ID name is death! so you see me hopefully........ |
| Posted by: deathstrike Mar 12 2010, 03:25 PM | ||
I would be of interest I was there today alot of people are startinmg to play ID 4 in C town and now they have IDS IN stock well on one machine but there some comp now yes I played like 1 through 10 games some with cpu and players it was good to see people on it now it getting better I guess when people saw me they was like I want to play and even new comers bought the IDS lol. Well if anyone wants to know My ID name is Death! so yea def set up a meet now. PS: I might go back today at around 7 near when ctown closes lol |
| Posted by: wssh Apr 6 2010, 07:27 PM |
| 90% of oldgens are gone now. |
| Posted by: deathstrike Apr 18 2010, 11:37 AM | ||
True but your still alive and kicking and new comers are coming along so the old die and the new comers take over. Hope they fix the second machine that way we can play each other and others. Kenzai comes every now and then and a couple of older players come in. Just want to see how I fair now against you guys and chaos wants a rematch so yea. Lets see we will never get IDS5 maybe one day we will. They have to give us auras though that not fair only the japanese get it. Oh well later. PS: They have IDS3 IN QUEENS CENTER MALL SO YEA i GO THERE TOMMROW JUST TO GET A CARD LOL |
| Posted by: brian mayhem Apr 18 2010, 12:08 PM |
| The only place I'd see logically getting ID5 would be in the city or up near canada somewhere. |
| Posted by: deathstrike Apr 18 2010, 12:35 PM | ||
Yea maybe but I think we will get it in manhatten soon when it comes out in english translations so we will wait and see. |
| Posted by: Cowman715 Apr 21 2010, 05:52 AM |
| I knew about the ID3 in qcm but last time they didn't have a card reader working, so I didn't bother posting about it. Does the card reader work? If it does I might take some trips once in a blue moon to play some ID3 (don't make fun of me if I suck now, I haven't played seriously in years lol) |
| Posted by: akira86 Apr 22 2010, 07:18 PM |
| dam i havent been on this forum in a long time, queens center mall has a ID3 machine dam now i want to get back into the ID flow again! but whats up with the cards and the reader? |
| Posted by: stuykid89 Apr 22 2010, 09:21 PM |
| cow, dont go to qcm go to ppg!! my evo4 vs your crap miata haha. iro dhw XD |
| Posted by: wssh Apr 28 2010, 08:03 PM | ||
QCM was planning to get it, but the arcade owner is a Jew. No racial remarks there, but it's true. |
| Posted by: slx Apr 30 2010, 08:54 AM |
| CF turned on the 2nd ID4 machine, I don't think they fixed anything, the dollar bill insert still doesn't work, and the wheel is incredibly loose. Also i noticed that the 2nd machine is nolonger synced with the first one. As it turns out the 2nd machine is on 1.2 and the first one is on 1.5 Any one know if there is an ID4 in flushing? |
| Posted by: deathstrike May 1 2010, 08:05 PM |
| I am not sure of flushing having ID4 and in queens I am not sure if the card reader works I am going to check it out when I go again. and let you guys know. Yea jews like to save a penny if they had to. Yea ID4 IN c town it on V1.2 SU CKS lol it still loose and it suc ks when you turn it just goes straight into the wall. SMH |
| Posted by: akira86 May 30 2010, 08:34 PM | ||
And thats why theres always a long line for the left cab while the right one is in the shadow |
| Posted by: MajinTB Jun 3 2011, 12:51 PM |
| Hey everyone, I just arrived to Manhattan and am dying to find either a IDASV4 or 6, has there been updates since the creation of the topic? Are there any players around here left? I'm in the upper east side, and found it hilarious that there's a Initial D INC in Chinatown  .Any info would be great. Thanks again. |
| Posted by: akira86 Sep 4 2012, 01:15 AM |
| dam i cant belive this post is still here lol. sadly chinatown fair is closed now theres no initial d in new york unless u guys know other places? |
| Posted by: akira86 Sep 7 2013, 11:10 PM |
| Anyone still playing in Chinatown fair since they got idas4 back again |
| Posted by: Pierro Dec 19 2013, 06:40 PM |
| I play in CTF, i'm addicted trying to get in on it once a week. |
