CFGC stands for Collegiate Fighting Game Conference. We’re here to bring the competitive spirit and support seen with other collegiate esports titles to the realm of fighting games. A lot of schools have competitive Smash scenes, but we want to spread the love to other games, too. We’re a group of fighting game fanatics that want to bring in and bring up the next gen of fighting game competitors. We want to give you the tools you need to step into high-level competition!

No, not at all! CFGC is here to support players and students at all levels of play.

If you’re new to fighting games and as the season progresses, ELO ranking will be adjusted and your competition will get closer to your level. Between seasons, ELO will carry over, and your season will be off to an even smoother start.

We currently support:

• Street Fighter 6

• 2XKO

• TEKKEN 8

• Guilty Gear: Strive

We also support other game titles with the support of our program: CFGC: Underground! As we continue to grow and progress, we want to provide as many titles as possible in the fighting game scene.
