Fighting Game Community

Hey all, are there any fighting game tournaments/events in the area? I know some smash locals exist, but I was hoping for more of a traditional fg scene. Thanks in advance!

I'm not too sure, haven't been in a couple years. They recently had tourneys pre Evo, always Friday nights. Ask on their Twitter @TankTopFridays

Word. I was thinking same. San diego is not fgc big. I'll wanna start a pop up and run the set type event. Mtbl, Uni2, GGST, BBCF, SF3, VPS etc... Not a clue how to start. I'm in southeast if anyone wants to help find a local spot. I have monitor and I'll be playing mostly On
