Last week, over 30 people crowded a small tea shop in Fresno to watch a certain P. Viper embarrass everyone there who dared to call themselves Street Fighters. Now, beaten but not broken by Mr. “I don’t know how to play Tekken,” the time has come to try and prove that we’re not totally free at this game. You should come by and prove us wrong!
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.
