NOSTALGIA REIGNS
The Street Fighter franchise will also be celebrated with side tournaments including Ultra Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and multiple prize pools are up for grabs.
A GAME-LIKE VENUE
The Capcom Pro Tour North American Finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds will take place at the The Castle in Boston on November 18-19. The historical landmark is reminiscent of the Street Fighter V “Union Station” stage, giving attendees the opportunity to feel like they are in the game. Hundreds of hopeful challengers from around the continent will gather at the two-day spectacular for a 512 player open bracket tournament and a chance at winning a spot at the grand finals on Sunday.
VIRTUAL REALITY
With so many iterations of the game and technology evolving over three decades, it’s finally time to put yourself inside your favorite game. The iconic Street Fighter II bonus stage where your favorite characters beat a car to smithereens will now be able to put you in the driver’s seat — figuratively, not literally. Built using HTC Vive and its innovative Vive Trackers, you can have the most immersive Street Fighter experience ever imagined. The Street Fighter II Bonus Stage Virtual Reality experience is only available at both days of the competition. Dive into your favorite game and take that aggression to the streets! The virtual streets of Street Fighter II that is — retro-style. Destroy a car using your fists and get as many points as possible before the countdown ends. Cheer on your friends as you get their first-person point-of-view displayed for all to see.
INSPIRED ART
In celebration of 30 years of Street Fighter; local Boston artist and game franchise enthusiast, Merk Those, will be creating a 5-piece mural showcasing the creative evolution of the Street Fighter characters since their first introduction in 1987! The piece will be unveiled during the weekend kickoff event at the newly-opened Balance Patch gaming café just steps away from Boston University campus grounds.
The 30th Anniversary of Street Fighter/Red Bull Battle Grounds Kickoff Event will take place at the Balance Patch on November 17th, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM. Tickets are still available for Saturday’s open competition, and for spectators; they cost $10.00 USD, and can be used for both days. For more information and ticket links head to the official Red Bull Battle Grounds website!

Akira Toriyama’s new creation for Dragon Ball FighterZ, Android 21, could appear in anime and other games
Little is still known about Android 21, the bespectacled female fighter whose origins begin in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Though she has no past presence in any other part of the fictional world of the Z Fighters, recent news says that may not be the case for her future.
Reportedly, Bandai Namco producer Tomoko Hiroki confirms that 21 was created solely with Dragon Ball FighterZ in mind, but she says that if she becomes popular with the fans, the possibility of her appearing in Dragon Ball manga, anime, or other video games is on the table.
Additional info acquired from a Bandai Namco group interview confirmed that she was designed by Akira Toriyama himself. After being given only a description of her personality and role in the game’s story, the rest was left to the Dragon Ball originator’s creative whims — and the character as we see her now is his own finished work.
A character created for a video game crossing over into an anime or manga may be something that has never happened to the Dragon Ball series before, but the fact that Android 21 was created by Toriyama-san makes the idea less than far-fetched. If you’re hunting for more info on Dragon Ball FighterZ, check out these action shots of Nappa and the Ginyu force, or read up on the latest pre-order and release date details.
