you know I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if Arcades in So Cal were ranked by skill level. Like if all the arcades had a tournament for each discipline and whoever gets first would grant their Arcade with the #1 rank. And tournaments that would follow would be held by the first place arcade for home court advantage. So the title of #1 could change at any given tournament.
So say Japan arcade were to defeat the AA players. We would have to go to Japan arcade and win first place to get the #1 rank back. And each player may only represent one Arcade
That could work for any game and it would be so sick too because it promotes players to go to the arcade to represent
Alex's Arcade: #1-KoF XIII, #1 SSFIV AE, #1 MVC just a thought lol

I think it's a great idea in theory, but only having 2 arcades with XIII is kinda defeating the purpose really (or at least 2 with ppl actually playing in it). Furthermore, I know how the Cali-Mexicans feel about the Japanese sticks vs American sticks etc... It's going to be a pain but I guess it won't hurt in trying.
I wonder how FFA is doing with XIII. Now SSFIV and MvC3 on the other hand, I can totally see it happening.
Still wish we could have the NesicaxLive over here in the states, that's the only way I can see arcades remotely surviving after the console release; it forces you to train at home, but if you want your name on the rankings, then you have to play in the arcades. I'm sure they can have a separate ranking system for console.
