Despite Los Angeles being a hub for the fighting game community, we are no strangers to arcades being closed. High rents and online gaming have shuttered many of the region’s arcades. Regardless, there is still a large amount of players who prefer face to face combat. With the Nintendo Switch, the need for a dedicated […]
2018.4.11 Video Library Update
After a night off from adding to the Video Library, here’s more great Final Round old-schoolness from years gone by. For good measure, the Tekken vault continues to load up.
2018.4.9 Video Library Update
As promised, Street Fighter is back with a heaping helping of the old-school.

Only one addition this morning, but it’s a big one. Tekken 7 from Final Round XXI is now available in the Video Library!

2018.4.5 Video Library Update
Tekken 7 @ NorCal Regionals 2018, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown @ OzHadou Nationals 15, and Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown @ SoCal Regionals 2013 are now indexed into the video library for your viewing pleasure!
The Foundation
Now that World Warriors is up and running in earnest, I figured I should take a moment to touch on how the lineup of supported games was assembled, while also shouting out a couple of “honorable mentions” that may be supported in the future depending on their communities and/or our own capabilities. Street Fighter V: […]
