Universal Fighting System is celebrating its third anniversary. The multi-property CCG has experienced three exciting years of battling, community building, and hardcore competition in order to provide gamers the first healthy way to settle the age old dispute: who would win in a knock down no holds barred brawl, character X or character Y? With a stable of 156 different legendary fighting game characters from Street Fighter , Soul Calibur 3 , Darkstalkers , King of Fighters , Samurai Showdown , and Penny Arcade and the recent addition of Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur 4 , no game in the world can provide a more complete answer to this question.

UFS is building momentum with these new licenses, the relaunching of the buzz driving and quick selling Penny Arcade Battlebox , the development of our first original UFS IP, ShadoWar , and a new lead designer: James Hata, also the current World Champion, whose last set created a surge in pre-release numbers. We believe that the next year could be our best yet!

Despite all this good news for UFS , we recognize that it’s a tough environment for CCGs. It’s understandably tough for retailers to take a chance on bringing in a new game. We are so confident that UFS will be as successful for you as it has for several hundred other retailers over the past three years that we are going to take the risk out of trying the game out in your store.

Universal Fighting System was kick started with a returnable product retail promotion that allowed shop owners to carry the product with no risk. This promotion proved very successful, creating the foundation that allowed UFS to flourish over the past three years. The only complaint retailers had with that program was that it required too much paperwork, so we have created a streamlined version of that promotion. This time around we are making it even easier, sign up to run the following events and get the product For Free!

The new deal: Is very simple, all you need to do is agree to run a sealed deck event anytime the weekend of March 20th-22nd and constructed event anytime during the weekend of March 27th-29th. We will promote all of the stores involved on our website to drive traffic to the events. Signing up is easy, all you have to do is e-mail Scott Clifton [email protected] and let us know you want to participate and we will sign you up and send you the following (FOR FREE!) to run the events with:

• 1 UFS Street Fighter Domination Starter Display
• 1 UFS Street Fighter: Domination Booster Display
• 1 UFS SNK: Cutting Edge Starter Display
• 1 UFS SNK: Cutting Edge Booster Display
• 1 UFS Soul Calibur 3 Playmat
• 8 UFS Promo Prize Packs
• 1 UFS Poster to advertise your special events

Both of these base set are tournament legal, giving you enough product to support up to 16 players, perfect to use for running both the sealed deck event followed by the constructed tournament the next weekend. We are even including fantastic prize support to hand out at the events.

We are giving you four displays of our current base set to run a UFS sealed deck showdown, and a constructed tournament. Any product that you don’t use for the events is yours to sell. This promotion will be a great way to introduce Universal Fighting System to your players. Let us take the risk and help you build a play group that will last for years to come.

We look forward to making you a part of the UFS family, welcome you to the team, and will see YOU in the arena.
