ACTivegamerS LA, in cooperation with SDTekken and Shoryuken.com, is bringing hundreds of Tekken fans together for a night of juggling, swaggin’, and partying down in Hawthorne. This event is sponsored by Namco Bandai, Mad Catz, and you better believe it, Starbucks.
The event will see the public unveiling of the retail version of Tekken 6, where a live tournament will be held to see who’s got real game. Prizes will include Tekken-themed goods like shirts, tattoo arm sleeves, hair pieces, and of course, an early copy of the game. For those who can’t pwn in the tourney, you can just get your Tekken stuff at the Tekken Swaggin’ Wagon, which will be packed with TapouT Tekken shirts and other cool Tekken stuff.
