Check out this selection of photos from the Crush Counter Capital fighting game tournament that rocked the CQ Hotels in Wellington on July 1-2.

The event's focus was on providing a showground for fighting game players, but it also gave them a space to meet like-minded gamers and grow the community.

It was the first New Zealand tournament to feature new releases Injustice 2, Tekken 7 and Guilty Gear Xrd Rev2.

The other main games were Street Fighter V, Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Project M.
