It's always either in New York or in LA over there in California. Sad they can't make things like events more worldwide huh? Even just getting to see the event would be nice. Oh well, maybe I'll make it to the Pokken Tournament tournament location near here instead.

At least a few events are spread out in the U.S. Just would be nice if elsewhere too
