What's up, fighting game fans? We at ChipDamage are happy to announce that we'll be running a few tournaments for old school fighting games at Retro Gamers Unit e 2015. Here's the lineup and schedule, as well as the console each game will be played on. All games will have a 5$ entry fee each. 1:30pm - Soul Calibur 2 HD (PS3) 3:00pm - Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting (Xbox 360) 5:30pm - Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (PS3) Bringing your own controller/arcade stick is both allowed and encouraged as we won't be able to supply everyone with a controller, especially for the Xbox. Also, keep in mind that any wireless controllers that don't desync when you unplug them (ie: official controllers) will not be allowed. We apologize for the inconvenience. We look forward to seeing everyone show off their skills in the classics!
