Calendar
The most wonderful time of the year is coming, and what better way to celebrate the holidays than a Holiday Party! Once again, we will be hosting our annual Holiday Party at Waypoint, where we’ll be having free play on the TVs, as people are playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch!
We’ll be doing a special Christmas grab bag game during the party! Instead of the traditional Yankee Swap/White Elephant Gift Exchange, we wanted to do something different.
Here are the rules:
Item must be in the $20-$30 range. It must be a physical item or a piece of merchandise (like toys, board games, plushies, etc.). We will not be accepting video games or prepaid cards/gift cards. The item must be a physical item or piece of merchandise. Make sure the gift is wrapped up and left unlabeled.
On the day of the event all of the items will get thrown into a giant laundry sack or giant bag. Admins Mike and Geoffrey will randomly generate the order of the participants, and line them up. They will randomly grab an item out of the bag without looking. Once you receive the gift, it’s yours. At the end of the game, you can choose to trade with people if you would like.
We will have another raffle this year, where we’ll be giving away a ton of prizes!
To get to Waypoint Cafe, take the D Train to Grand St. From there, it’s a five minute walk to Ludlow St. After you reach Ludlow, make a left turn, and it’s a very short walk. You could also take the F Train to Delancey St. From there, it’s a three minute walk to Ludlow.
We look forward to seeing you guys at the party!

We welcome you to Square Button Massacre The event will showcase the most classic form of FGC combat, King of The Hill. Choose out of any one (or all three) games we will be showcasing and dominate til someone knocks you off the sticks. The first place winner will have a glorious award as the second and third place winner will have something that would inspire them to do better.
The event will be at Waypoint Cafe! Located at 65 Ludlow Street. If you need to take public transportation you can take the B,D train to Grand street or the J,F,M train to Delancey/Essex Street INFORMATION ABOUT TRAIN DELAYS AND ANY OTHER CHANGES IN MTA SERVICE WILL BE POSTED ACCORDINGLY.

Game One – Soul Caliber 6
11:00am Sign up / Friendlies
12pm Start
2pm End / Award Ceremony
Game Two – Dragonball FighterZ
2pm Sign Up /Friendlies
3pm Start
5pm End / Award Ceremony
Game Three – Super Smash Brothers Ultimate

RULES
1. SIGN UPS ARE FIRST COME FIRST SERVED
Sounds very simple enough right? Just because you signed up within the allotted hour time does not mean that you will get a chance to play in the event. We will be under a very tight time schedule and final matches will be at the time closest to the wrap of the game. The list will resume after the award ceremony but WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE EVENT.
2. SMACK TALK NOT TRUMP TALK.
We actually encourage competitiveness and trash talking. It’s welcomed but don’t be dicks. No questions asked you will be dropped, and if you’re with a crew. They will be dropped too. It’s not hard to say you suck without sounding like a 12 year old playing Call of Duty with voice masking.
3. KING OF THE HILL – YOU LOSE, YOU’RE OUT.
For the event you play until you lose. If you lose you cant play unless everyone else on the list loses and then by default it resets accordingly to the number you signed up as. As mentioned before the top 3 winners from each game will receive an award.
This goes without saying but BRINGING YOUR OWN STICKS IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is like the golden rule at FGC events but in case you don’t Waypoint Cafe NYC does have a very limited supply and we do mean limited. So if you don’t bring your own sticks we do not want to hear any crying about how you didn’t win cause of the controller you didn’t bring cause of “insert excuse here”.
The event will be streamed on The Waypoint Cafe Twitch channel.
More details about the event would be posted in the future!
