GATHERING
VIRTUA FIGHTER
offline SPECIAL EVENT

THE LAG EXPERIENCE
The Los Angeles Gathering is so much more than a tournament. It’s an event to bring together all Virtua Fighter players and connect beyond the game.
COMPETITION
Hardcore games or casual fun, there’s something for all skill levels. Offline play means the absolute best Virtua Fighter experience. Tournaments include double-elimination singles, teams, & random select. Or, just pull up a chair and have some fun.
CULTIVATION
Level up your learning with replay reviews, matchup discussions, technical advice, and top-player feedback. Los Angeles Gathering is a place to improve in ways online competition can’t provide.
COMMUNITY
Beyond the brackets, the real identity of LAG is our shared experiences that define our community: legendary casual grinds, late-night dinners, friendly hangouts, and diving into local cultural activities.
