Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Tournament!

Its been awhile since out last blog update, but we've come back with a big one.

I can't tell you how excited I am for the event we have planned this weekend. It's the Global Tournament for Street Fighter's 25th Anniversary. As an avid arcade goer,  I hope to watch most of the matches and see a few familiar faces. Unfortunately, tournament registration is now closed, but there should be plenty of casual play and practice rounds going on.You'll be given the opportunity to watch professional gamers from all around the world compete for a spot in the super tournament later this year in California. There's $500,000 worth of prizes on the line, and an ultimate chance to win a Street Fighter themed Scion FR-S Sports Coupe.

It's going to be a ton of fun, and I hope to see you all there.
