Another landmark event of the UK’s fighting game calendar is coming back for 2017, as Electronic Dojo announce VSFighting 2017 is set to run from August 12th-13th. Returning to Millennium Point, which was the site of VSFighting 4 back in 2014, this major UK event will see competitors from all around the UK and Europe descending on the Second City to see who is the best.

SF V, T7, Injustice 2, Blazblue, KI and more…Be there! #vsf2017 #fgc pic.twitter.com/wl64Y1ShAH— Electronic Dojo (@electronicdojo) February 18, 2017
So far, Street Fighter V, Killer Instinct, Injustice 2, Tekken 7 and BlazBlue: Central Fiction have been revealed as tournament games, with more announcements to come in the next few months. With a samurai from For Honor appearing in the teaser image for VSF2017, it is possible we could see this medieval battler as a potential side event. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has had a place at VSFighting since VSF5 so it’s safe to assume it may also feature on the title card.
VSFighting 2016 featured as a European Ranking event for the Capcom Pro Tour, and with the tournament returning to Millennium Point with its giant IMAX screen, the event should be fantastic for competitors and spectator alike. Keep an eye on the VSFighting website for details on registration in the coming months.
