Previous: 2018 October, November, and December Fighting Game Events in Tokyo | 2019 January and February Fighting Game Events in Tokyo
Seems like I’ve gotten into the habit of tracking FGC offline events in the Tokyo area.
This isn’t a comprehensive list, but feel free to contact me if you want me to add anything.
Very generally:
- On Tuesdays there is a DBFZ, Tekken7, and Soul Caliber event run by Jiyuna and MajinObama at Red Bull Gaming Sphere, Map. It is actually officially sponsored as well!
- On Wednesdays SFV (Fighter’s Crossover Akihabara – FCA is the event name) at Akihabara ESports Square (the place, Map) starting from 7pm. There are usually around 20 setups, all with sticks. The place has a bar with food too.
- On Thursdays there is usually a SFV event at Red Bull Gaming Sphere, Map or sometimes BeasTV’s Jikoken TV with Fuudo.
- Also on some Thursdays there is a DBFZ event orgaqnized by Kagecchi at Akihabara eSports Square.
- Studio Sky (Map) announced on 2018-09-14 that they will be an open esports space, and as part of that I’m not yet sure of their schedule, but I add information about their events when I see it.
- Shot Bar Lucy has different events on different days, and usually on Friday night is an all-night event featuring various games (Map), Calendar.
- The Plaza Capcom at Kichijoji (Map) has the Capcom eSPORTS Club which has free SFV setups, and often runs events.
- Game Bar Cross-up in Umeda, Osaka (Map) usually does SFV on Tuesday, Guilty Gear and BlazBlue on Wednesday, and KOF14 on Thursday.
- Check Gaijin Gaming Brothers for information about Smash related events in Japan. I add Tokyo based events to my list, but they track events all over Japan with English information.
- Syogepi-events has a Google Calendar of his events. He often runs platinum and under begginer friendly events. They have an English based guide to participating in their events.
I don’t really track free play events or tournaments at arcades –
there are lots of them. maplejpca tells me that there is a free
play UNIST every Friday night from 8pm to 10pm at Sega Nishi Shinjuku.
The arcade scene is vibrant, and you are likely to find competition at
any arcade, but some are more well known than others. You might want
to check out
- Mikado Arcade, Map Takadanobaba
- Taito Station Shinjuku East Exit, Map
- Various arcades in Akihabara, Club Sega, Hey!
- Various shops in Akihabara like the retro game store Super Potato, Map
- Play Spot Big One 2nd, Map. Out in Chiba, but good place for 3rd Strike or Melty Blood. (Thanks Arlieth!)
- Game Newton, Map. Lots of ST setups.
- Your Warehouse, Map Kawasaki (For the crazy design)
If you are comfortable with Japanese, Kakuge-checker.com has a comprehensive list of offline, online, and other events going around all over Japan. I don’t know how he/they/she does it.
I will also track events in Fukuoka in January and February for people who might be headed to EVO Japan.
