Some of Japan’s most successful and influential fighting game developers/publishers will gather together for a “roundtable discussion” this coming weekend.

This meeting of the minds will see notable companies such as Capcom (Street Fighter), Bandai Namco (TekkenandDBFZ), Arc System Works (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue), SNK (King of Fighters), Arika (Fighting Layer EX), and Koei Tecmo (Dead or Alive) meet up, (presumably digitally), for a good ol’ chinwag about upcoming titles, esports, and the future of the genre.

The August 1 event will be streamed oneach publisher’s respective YouTube channelbut, as a live discussion, is unlikely to feature English subtitles. I know what you’re thinking and I’m thinking it too – if this weekend doesn’t end with the official announcement ofStreet Fighter x Tekken x KoF x Guilty Gear x Fighting Layer Alpha Turbo Editionthen frankly I don’t know what hope there is for any of us.

I mean, at least confirmCapcom vs. SNK 3, or sellDarkstalkersto ArcSys… justsomething.
