ALL WORLD CHAMPIONS WERE ONCE CORNER STORE LEGENDS

At the end of 1992, you could find Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting at every arcade, laundromat, corner store and 7-11. In your hood, you may very well have been the Corner Store Legend who to sought mark your three initials on the high score in every establishment until there was nobody left to beat.

In late 2020, Eggsnbaconnn, Turbo Annihilator, and Riz0ne bring this idea to life with new online events for Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting called Laundromat Champs and Corner Store Legends. The idea is further expanded upon with Corner Store Legends: Smackdown — a biweekly online tournament series open to USA, Canada, Mexico, Peru, United Kingdom, and Trinidad and Tobago.

With all of these regions able to participate, our digital 7-11 becomes an environment of fierce competition where only one person can walk out as the true Corner Store Legend and Undisputed World Champion!
