The Australian fighting game community keeps growing and growing with all kinds of events from casual meetups to monthly tournaments to determine the best players. One of the biggest events in the Australian fighting game scene is happening on the 1st and 2nd of October in Melbourne at the CQ Hotel aptly named... Battle Arena Melbourne.



That said, Battle Arena Melbourne isn't just a fighting game tournament. It's a full event and attendees will also have a chance to play three unreleased fighting games.

The Melbourne group Couch Warriors have run BAM twice before with this years event shaping up to be the biggest to date. Not only are there various competitions for prizes and bragging rights over games such as (but not limited to) Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Blazblue: Continuum Shift 2, Tekken 6 and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike but punters will also have a chance to play the yet to be released Street Fighter X Tekken, Soul Calibur V and Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 for the first time in Australia.

Registration and venue details are available at the Battle Arena Melbourne website. We'll be there filming the event also if you're unable to make it and there's also a livestream occuring throughout the weekend if you don't want to miss any of the tournament play BAM has to offer.
