Yeah, I'm planning on heading to the Gamestop around 8:30 PM on Saturday. Why so early? I have to bike there! It's not too far from my house (I'd guess it's at least a 30 minute bike ride from my house… haven't tried it yet!), but I want to make sure I'm early. Only downside is that it'll probably be cold (around 50 degrees) and any random thing cold happen. I'm so hype!
At this point I'll only be playing against SRK people and close friends. Unfortunately, the online impressions from the American version are the opposite of the Japanese version: Laggy. Of course, they'll probably be working on it to the last second, but I wouldn't try to get online in the first few days anyway. It'll be waaaay too many people playing.
