Previous: 2019 September, November, and December Fighting Game Events in Tokyo | Next
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. You also should try TopTier.gg which tracks fighting game locals around the world.
Very generally:
- On Tuesdays there is a DBFZ, Tekken7, and Soul Calibur 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.
- Game Bar Bridge, in Tachikawa, usually runs some fighting game stuff. Their schedule is pinned to the gbbtachikawa profile.
- 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.
- Gamrah tells me that Game Spot Versus (Map) has hosted Tuesday night SSF2X tournaments from 9pm for the past 10 years. They also recommend following @gameversus and @newtonooyama for more up-to-the-minute coverage of retro games.
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)Oh no, this iconic arcade has shut down as of Nov. 7th.
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.
