On our last edition of Fresno Ranbats, it was determined, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I am the greatest. Unfortunately, due to a strange point system that refuses to recognize my superiority, we’re here again to play videogames and piss people off. I intend to do far more of the latter, how about you?
What’s a ranbat you ask? Ranbat is shorthand for Ranking Battle, a series of tournaments in which players earn points based on their placings in each tournament. Want to prove that you’re the best in Fresno? I’m sorry you feel that way.

Pot will be split 70/20/10 between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers.
Signups starting at 12:00, tournament will start at 2. If you’d just like to spectate, you’re more than welcome to stop by, but be advised that the place can get a bit crowded. Deodorant really isn’t optional here.

Loser can change character/ultra, winner cannot swap ultras.
This will be run primarily on PS3, though we will have a 360 available. This will be BYOC (bring your own controller). You didn’t get this far in life simply by relying on the kindness of others, so be like the Boy Scouts and come prepared.
