First rule is that we do NOT talk about Fight Club. We will, however, talk about our event!
Fight Club is back, and we’ll be celebrating the release of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle on Nintendo Switch! ARMS and Pokken Tournament DX will be appearing at the event as well, for those looking for “non-traditional” fighting games.
A special tournament will be held using Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, where we will be using the Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers Tournament Mode.
The event will be held at the Superchief Gallery in Ridgewood, starting at 2PM. There is an entrance fee to enter the venue itself” $15 for anyone 18+, and $10 for anyone under 18. Also to note, it does let you into Team1UPEm’s party that happens at 8PM (for anyone 18 and over ONLY).
DIRECTIONS:
To get to the Superchief Gallery, you would need to take the L train or the M train to Myrtle – Wyckoff Avenue Subway Station. Afterwards, it’s a six minute walk to Jefferson Avenue, where the gallery is located.
We hope to see you at the event!
