🍻 SPACE

We can use the ground floor space at C2 Kyoto thanks to Seth and Akiko’s kindness. The space is split in 3 areas:

• The Lounge, where you can have a drink, on the big couch and watch some games on the big screen. If there is a tournament, we play the important matches there!
• The Fighting Ground, where a few setups are available to play fighting games. We run most tournament sets there if we do run one. Otherwise, practice sets or casual games, everything goes!
• The Retro Area, where you can play fighting game classics on the original console! Please try them out =)

⚔️ TOURNAMENT

• We can run one with a 16 player cap. We run a vote within the hour after the venue starts and open the signup if at least 8 players want to compete in the same game.
• We can run a tournament bracket on Guilty Gear: Strive, Street Fighter 6 or Tekken 8.
• If you are interested in entering the tournament, you can find the ruleset below.
