I'll be living on xing yi lu (the one taipei 101 is on)

And don't worry I'll bring a setup, and I'll be in taiwan for all of june/july. And having anyone to play against is better than no one to play against.

And I only play melee :D
AND I'm in taiwan because I'll be working at NTU :DD

So are there people still in Taipei who play? I'm considering heading there sometime this year for a job, and I'd bring my GC as well as some controllers if I thought there were people around who'd like it...

ARGH I WANT TO GO TO TAIWAN!
But I honestly think you guys shouldn't spend too much time playing smash there. Just when you have that really bad craving. Speaking of cravings, I really want some food. :X

uhh bump/doublepost, but just saying that i have a full setup now (minus a crt). ill probably be leaving within a week or two.

EDIT: this is a really late update, but I did manage to play some melee in taiwan out of sheer coincidence/luck :)

the other guy has the video though, might post it here one day

Hong Kong and Taiwan are more open than mainland. I hope to play against Smashers there.

Hey, I'm leaving for Taipei, Taiwan tomorrow, and I'll be there for a couple months. I'd be down for some Melee during my spare time.

poor taiwan :(

you can probably scavenge for parts...crts should be available i think, if you look hard enough
if not, then use this combined with a low lag display

melee is gonna be really hard to find lmao. but if you have a wii...etc etc ;o

i also found a brand new official gc controller at 光華商場 for like 800 ntd but idk if thats still around
smash 4 will guarantee fresh gc controllers in the winter though
