The 16th installment of FINAL ROUND is back and better than ever! Thank you to EVERYONE that attended FRXV in making it the biggest Fighting Game Tournament on the East Coast with over 1500+ competitors from around the world competing to be the best in their favorite games. With Japan shocking the world with FinalRoundbats season #2 champion Kusoru "Ageo Joe" winning UMVC3 at FRXV on American soil with his V.Joe, Frank West, Rocket Racoon team made for high drama! What surprise's will happen at this years event? We hope that everyone that attended FRXV will come back and bring 5 friends with them. The location of the event is as followed:

Location:
Hilton Atlanta Airport

Yes we are happy to return to the Hilton near the airport for FRXVI. Players that fly to FRXVI will be a 3 minute shuttle ride from the venue. There's a FREE 24 hour shuttle from the Airport to the tournament venue so no expensive cab rides from the airport this year. This location also has plenty of places to eat inside the venue and around the venue and it is PET FRIENDLY for you guys that bring your pets to the tournament.

Remember the entire MK9 tournament will be completed on Sat as requested by the mk9 community. We'll have a dedicated stream for mk9 only at FR16. We'll give more details to that as the event gets closer.
That was my next question, coming from canada it takes 11+ hours of travel. But its worth it to see everyone.

I have no clue, lol. I'm clueless about how all of these buses work.

Other than the fact that they go "VROOM VROOM". :p

Megabus usually only runs near your area. For example, I am in Detroit so it runs in several points in Michigan, Ohio and Chicago. Greyhound runs through the entire country.
