ABQ Fighting Game events August 28-29

Yo ABQ! we got two hot events this weekend, with players coming from as far as El Paso. First up on Saturday night is ZACHBATS: The fighting game party, and sunday afternoon is the final of this season's ABQ Ran Bats.

You may be wondering what a 'Ran-Bat' is. It is a series of tournaments that are used to rank members of a local fighting game community, or a Ranking Battle. Ran Bats are 5$ per game per session, and the points carry over from each battle. at the end of the season there is a grand prize for the top placing fighter. Ran Bats are held most Sunday's at straight up pizza in the heights.

ZACHBATS is the fighting game themed party i'm throwing at my place on saturday. We have at least 20 confirmed guests, and its sure to be a big event! Games will start at 7, tournament at 8:30. Main tournament's (Super SFIV and Tekken 6) are 5$ dollars each, and there will be side tournies of older games for a 1$ or less. For more details and directions visit the ZACHBATS event page on facebook or call Zach @ 505.231.1187

Hope to see some new faces this weekend!
