New Yorkers: Bring the Street Fighter Pain


Street Fighter ClubFollowing the success of a similar beat-down held in LA three months ago, a massive Street Fighter tournament is coming to Brooklyn, N.Y. on October 24.

Street Fighter Club will feature console versions of Street Fighter IV (out now in arcades, if you can find one) and the upcoming Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Both games will be played on high definition screens, providing breathtaking visuals as your ass gets handed to you.

To make things nerdier (and somehow cooler), commemorative shirts designed by geek-chic artist Meat Bun will be available at the event. I Am 8 Bit creator Jon Gibson will set the mood with decorations, and word is they’ll have soap, a la Fight Club, as well.

SIgn up at the official site. Since there’s no time or location announced yet, presumably you’ll get an e-mail or phone call telling you where to be and when as the date approaches.

Of course, some of us in the know can tell you there’s already a place in NYC where you can get your SFIV on. Just head to Chinatown Fair, 8 Mott St., and get a thorough beating in the fighting game of your choice.

If you prefer to play the game comfortably at home, you’re out of luck. SFIV won’t be out until next year, and no date has been announced for SFII Turbo HD Remix.
