With Japan shocking the world with FinalRoundbats season #2 champion Kusoru “Ageo Joe” winning UMVC3 at FRXV on American soil with his V.Joe, Frank West, Rocket Racoon team made for high drama!

Any idea about how much a taxi would cost from the bus station in downtown Atlanta to the venue?

8

Do you mean the greyhound or megabus station? Forget a taxi. Ride the public transit called Marta! Just take it to the airport and get on the shuttle to the Airport Hilton. Both bus stations are at Marta stations.

9

If you are flying in grab your bags and then get on the shuttle for a 3 minute ride to the venue.

10

I am PUMP for Final Round XVI. I can’t wait for 2013!

OK i’ve had this idea for ages, but it seems like it might happen this year. There will be a 5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5 team tournament at FRXVI in TTT2. The rules are you need to have 5 players from your state/area in a pokemon style single match, but double elim bracket. There’s a max of 2 teams from your area. This will be the best of the best competing in the newest installment of Tekken. I’ve talked with Bronson and he said Nor Cal should have a team ready for this event. Wayne Gamble said he will have his florida team ready. Jio said he will have Tenn ready. JodyDaGreat said DA LOU will be ready! Sayco said he has va/md a team ready. Kor said he would be ready with a texas team. I know the ATL will be ready. If I missed an area then speak up, but i’m going to need your team members names and your area/state you’re representing if you want to compete in this event. Only the strong will survive! Will it be you? This will be streamed on friday to get the event started on the right note! The singles event will be on Saturday. So what area will claim the title of BEST IN TTT2?
We have more news coming soon for FRXVI so stay tuned shawty!
