2018 January Fighting Game events, 2018 April and May Tokyo Fighting Game Events
It seemed like it was useful to track the fighting game events going on around the 2018 EVO Japan tournament, so I’m going to also keep track of things that are going on in February in the Tokyo area, to the extent that I know about. This isn’t a comprehensive list, but feel free to contact me if you want me to add anything.
Very generally:
- SFV event (Fighter’s Crossover Akihabara – FCA) on Wednesdays at Akihabara ESports Square (the place) starting from 7pm.
- On Friday there is usually a SFV event at Studio Sky.
- On Sunday there is usually a SFV event at Studio Sky.
- Shot Bar Lucy has different events on different days, and usually on Friday night is an all-night event featuring various games.
- The Plaza Capcom at Kichijoji (Map) has the Capcom eSPORTS Club which has free SFV setups, and often runs events.
