Singapore Arcade Showdown At AFA’08
Arcade exponents will be able to pit their skills against each other at the upcoming Anime Festival Asia 2008. The inaugural Singapore Arcade Showdown, will be taking place at The Arena Zone, the seventh and newest Experience Zone of the AFA08 on the 22nd and 23rd of November 2008.
There are 3 arcade gaming titles to choose to compete in:
- King of Fighters ’98: Ultimate Match
- Street Fighter IV
- Tekken 6
All the 3 above mentioned games aren’t released yet. So it would really be interesting to see how experienced arcade players match up against one another.
Interested players need to pre-register by 18 November via the official AFA08 website at www.afa08.com and have to pay registration fees (in addition to entrance fees):
- $5 for participation in any one of the games
- $8 for participation in any two of the games
- $10 for participation in all three of the games
Upon successful registration, all registrants will be entered into a pool where they will be randomly picked into individual groups by drawing lots after the sign-up deadline.
In round robin fashion, the top 2 of each group will qualify into the play-offs which will be a double elimination format. Schedule will be released on November 20, 2008.
I really suck at fighting games and I rarely visit the arcade, so this event would not interest me. But still I always enjoy seeing people duke it out in fighting games.
its a shame the choice of games they put up, the games are abit….well…….pants, street fighter 4 is a BIG let down to street fighter……..(poor chun li)
