What we’re about

Welcome to Asheville's Bi-Weekly Shaq Fu Tournament Series, a celebration of the world’s worst fighting game. Released in 1994, Shaq Fu is so infamously bad that it’s earned global recognition as one of the worst games ever made. Entire hate groups have formed to hunt down and destroy every remaining copy of the game.

But here, we do the opposite. We honour it. We battle it out in Bi-weekly tournaments dedicated to appreciating this glorious disaster, all under the watchful gaze of a life-size cardboard cutout of Shaquille O’Neal himself.
