Street Fighter 4 - UK Exclusive!

Posted by: Gary Stanton

Join RetroGT at the Battle of Destiny tournament and witness the UK debut of Street Fighter IV

After a decade of waiting, Street Fighter 4 is soon to be released and we are literally about to explode with excitement when we say that RetroGT will be among the first to play the completed UK arcade version!

Our friends over at NeoEmpire have teamed up with Capcom Europe to put on the 'Battle Of Destiny' fighting games tournament. This fighting games extravaganza will see the first UK play of the long awaited Street Fighter 4. The winners of the event will be sent to Las Vagas to compete against the best players from around the globe in the Evo Championship Series World Finals!

It's going to be an incredible event, with the first completed version of Street Fighter 4, as well as the first chance to play Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix in the UK.
As with all Neo Empire events, there will be causal play as well as multiple tournaments for games including:

• Hyper Street Fighter 2
• Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection on PS3
• Capcom vs. SNK 2 on PS2
• Street Fighter 3: Third Strike on PS2

The tournament will be held over the 26th and 27th July 2008 in the London Metropolitian University, Holloway Road.

RetroGT will be there showing off our t-shirts and testing our gaming skills against some of the best players in Europe. It's going to be a weekend to remember and we'd love to see you there.

For your chance to play, and possibly make it all the way to Las Vagas, sign up now at www.BattleOfDestiny.com.
