Last weekend saw the Philippine’s biggest fighting game tournament of the year in REV Major 2018. The second iteration of the annual multi-title fighting game competition saw hundreds of players and fans convene at the the Power Mac Center Spotlight at Circuit Makati in the Philippines to celebrate the fighting game community in the country.
REV Major 2018 featured several of the most popular fighting game titles including Tekken 7, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Notably, the Tekken 7 tournament was a Challenger ranked event for the Tekken World Tour while the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U competition was also a National tier event of the Smash Masters League.
The tournament saw several players from other countries fly over to compete. Most notably, legendary fighting game icon “Filipino Champ/FChamp” from the US and Evo 2018 Tekken 7 Champion LowHigh. Other foreign players that competed at REV Major included Teresa from Japan as well as ULSAN, JeonDDing, Qudans, Rangchu, and Kkokkoma from Korea. Sadly, a few foreign players that were set to be at the event, such as Knee and Chanel, had to cancel their trips due to the typhoon that hit the country the day before the tournament.
