Deadly Bison Entertainment caught up with the manager Lonnie from Chinatown fair to discuss the future of Chinatown fair, the history of Chinatown fair and what the community needs to do to keep CTF as a hub for the fighting game community.
Here is a link to the video.

Deadly Bison Entertainment also would like to announce the first scheduled event at CTF will be Monday June 4th from 8pm-12am - The event will be streamed at www.twitch.tv/deadly_bison - we have already confirmed CTF legends will be in attendance. It will be $10 admission - but you will get a $20 game card for all other games. Fighting games will be unlimited. Expect prize giveaways and a ton of money matches.
Here is the flyer for the event - Please support this and help us keep CTF as a home for the FGC.
He should also get this. Imma be in there for MvC2 no doubt, but only if i see people playin it though. I wish arcsys released P4U in the US, with how big it is in Japan, i think the Americans(including latin and south) will follow suit. Its a really unique game and that is what adds to it’s charm
It wont be a tourney this time, it will be casuals with prize giveaways. Were putting together some money matches and prizes for longest win streaks right now.
I hope the new CTF finds a good balance. Once I heard birthday parties for families, I can imagine the wackiness that will happen if the FGC is also around getting hyped. It could be good street education for the kids though.
The red flag here is that he hopes to put up a wall, in order to separate the FGC from the rest of its target demographic. So basically he wants to profit from the FGC by putting a few nominal games that he hopes we’ll play, while keeping us away from their family-friendly environment. Not impressed until he actually follows through on his word.
You’ve never been to ctf have you? The people that used to hang out there WERE undesirable. From the cosplayers, to the thugs, drug dealers, and childish adults, i shook my head a couple of times witnessing some of this shit seriously.
Oh, I get that. I feel like he’s trying to run a fine line between wanting the old guard to come back, while maintaining a family-friendly environment. There’s going to be some struggle with this, unless he can somehow manage to ONLY get the ‘classier’ FGC players to come back to the new CTF. I understand what he’s doing, but it’s not going to be easy to have the best of both worlds without some conflict.
