CouchWarriors had their final Ranbat for 2016 last Saturday, where they crowned the winners for the various games played throughout the season. Hit the jump to see all the results for both the December Ranbat and overall season winners:
CouchWarriors is hosting the final ranbat at the CQ hotel right in the Melbourne CBD for a one day combined fighting game event!
The top 3 placers in their 2016 ranking battle points for Smash 4, Melee and SFV will be competing for a $250 prize bonus – with the highest point placer for each game receiving a medal and a special prize (TBA).
The December Ranbat will bring extra weight- placing in December will earn you double points! (Usually 10 for 1st, 8 for 2nd and 6 for 3rd) The top two current places for Smash 4 and SFV are currently separated by three points, so do your best at the remaining two ranbats in November and December!
