This is looking to be a pretty awesome event. My plan’s have suddenly changed for the weekend lol. I got my Tekken 6 on preorder at Gamestop ready for Tuesday pickup, and this is gonna be good to chill, have fun with people over there, and get some Tekken 6 match play in too. Street Fighter IV is just clinching my appearance with the chance at free swag too. GET HYPE!!! We’re bringing Tekken back in a big way people.

@kevin
ACTivegamerS LA is a legit group, please take the hate out of this thread.
This has nothing to do with money, this is all about making a big community event for a game that people love.

Why not? It’s for the fighting game community.
