For the Soulcalibur fans in the Melbourne, Australia area, CouchWarriors will begin holding a series of fighting game events, with their first event on March 31st also serving as a qualifier for the Video Games Unplugged event which will be held on April 12th, where the top 4 finishers will take home prizes and have the opportunity to play on stage as the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra plays battle music from Soulcalibur V.
