WELCOME TO THE TGA RANKING BATTLES!!

If you are a fighting game fan, you owe it to yourself to come to TGA and be a part of the TGA ranking battles.

TGA's brings you fighting games they way they were MEANT to be played. You will not get the inferior, second rate, poor quality, generic American corporate ticket game infested arcade experience. TGA is a true Japanese game center. Our passion is arcade games. We don't waste your time with ticket games and other inferior products designed to waste your time and take your money.

When you play fighting games at TGA, you are part of a hard core fighting game community. Fighting games are manufactured and designed to be played in Japanese arcades. The fighting games at TGA, are an exact duplicate of a Japanese game center. We use 100% official and authentic Japanese boards, in Japanese Candy cabs, supported by Sanwa sticks and buttons.

We love fighting games and take them seriously. Our passion is the community, not the money. TGA offers you unlimited fighting games all day, for only $10. This includes your cover charge on Ranking Battle nights as well.

If you've never played fighting games at TGA I urge you to come and try them. I can assure you, that once you do, you will never go back and you will truly understand and appreciate the difference.

Come test your skills against New England's top tier fighting game players. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or just starting to learn, come join this exciting community.

The rules and theory behind ranking battles are simple. Ranking battles consist of double elimination tournaments, held on each of the below listed games. If your final ranking falls within 1st to 5th place, you are awarded points. At the end of each ranking battle your points continue to accumulate.

Tokyo Game Action is proud to present:

About TGA's Arcade:
- TGA is an authentic Japanese Arcade. It has both Bemani games and Fighting Games. The ALL fighting games are in Japanese "candy" cabinets.
- All cabinets and games are in PERFECT condition (knock on wood :sweat:)
- All cabs have brand new Sanwa parts
- The room is the size of "Moore Arcade" (the infamous arcade in Japan where players like Daigo, BAS, Dan, Mago, etc. play all the time).


(Ranking Battle Matches will be recorded, if someone has an extra camera or two PLEASE make a post or send us a PM to this username so that we can capture these matches for everyone.)



The changes we've made to the system was made by "majority rules".
Just in case you didn't see the changes, they are:


-Time=Registration starts @ 4pm and tourney starts @ 5pm
-$10 Flate rate for Free Play for the ENTIRE night instead of pay per play.
-Double elimination instead of Singles.
-If you lose you can change your team/character. Winner must stick with same team.
-Finals are now 3/5, NOT 2/3. (If we did 4/7, things could take forever and people can't get to their free casuals. 3/5 is not too short, and not too long.)
-Ranking Battle points: the points given out will stop at 5th place.

I want to apologize that the original post was extremely short and uninformative. It was intended to be a lengthy post detailing the rules, regulations and past winners. All of this information was contained on shoryuken.com. Unfortunately, SRK is down, so I am unable to copy and retrieve the information. When it becomes available, I will do so.

Thank you.

Also..


Oro is handsome

My boyyyyss.... making me PRRRRRROUD! (T.T)

*NOTE*

The next Ranking Battle will be on:

-November 19th (3 weeks from now).

-The ranbat will start @ 6 pm!!!

It will be held after the PYL tourney. If you are not here at the right time, we will do our best effort to fit you into the games you want to play, more than likely you will be put into the loser's bracket, while paying at full price; it is only fair to those that showed up on time and are ready to go!

Also, we have changed the BI-WEEKLY ranking battles to TRI-WEEKLY because of certain issues we have come acrossed with the contestants. We know people come far and wide to come to these battles, and gas prices/transportation start to become an issue. This way, you will have 3 weeks to plan this ahead of time instead of 2 weeks. Also, with 3 weeks, it will give you PLENTY of time to practice and learn new skills+tricks :gator: .

More info on the next ranbat: http://www.tokyogameaction.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1842. Thanks again to those who showed up, we enjoy having you guys around, it is one HELL of a time i tell ya, GS GS GS!!!
