SEPTEMBER RANKING BATTLE – Two Day Event!

Tournaments, casual games, tips and training – CouchWarriors Ranking Battles are a day long fighters festival! Newcomers are welcome as well as tournament veterans.

NOTE – THIS MONTH THIS THE RANBAT WILL BE SPLIT OVER TWO DAYS.  In response to the frankly incredible growth of our monthly events in which we are reaching between 150-200 attendees, we’re taking this step to maximise space and comfort.

We’re bowled over that the community is coming together so strongly and proud to be able to support everyone in having great events.

Day 1 – SMASH 4 tournaments and casuals (other games welcome but not official tournaments)

Day 2 – All other games: SMASH Melee, PM, All Fighters Tournaments – USF4, GGXRD, DOA5LR, MKX

View the changed schedule below

Each “Ranbat” monthly is a chance to play long sets of casual games for practice, but also earn Ranking Points for the tournament games listed below.  Look for regular updates on the ranking points here on the site.  You can view the current rankings here.

Come play or BYO your setup. Enjoy some casuals or get in your tournament practice going with our structured events.
