Earn Killer Instinct World Cup Qualifying Points at Kentucky’s Upcoming FightFest Tournament

In a little less than a month, Louisville, Kentucky will be hosting its annual FandomFest Comic Expo. In addition to providing an outlet for cosplay, photo ops, panels, and all other standard convention fare, the event will house the tournament that organizers have appropriately dubbed “FightFest.”

This tournament is set to include brackets for Ultra Street Fighter IV, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat X, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, Killer Instinct, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. As an added bonus, top performers in Killer Instinct will be able to earn qualifying points for the Killer Instinct World Cup.

Since FightFest is part of the larger FandomFest event, a pass to the convention is required in order to gain entry into the tournaments. Those looking to enjoy the whole convention can grab a weekend pass for $60, but if you’re just looking to slap some buttons against the local competition, you can pick up a Saturday pass (the day of the tournament) for $40. Registry for the tournament will take place on-site, with each game requiring a $10 entry fee.

We’ve embedded the event’s official trailer below.

FightFest 2015 is set to take place August 8 at the KY International Convention Center. FandomFest will run for the entire weekend of August 7-9. For a full schedule of FightFest tournament times, as well as official tournament rules, you can head over to the event’s official website.
