Anime vs Anime 20+ Fighters Event: End Time, Countdown + Ranked Next
Anime vs Anime is running its biggest draw of the moment — the 20+ Fighters + 2V2 unlock event, live through November 7 — while a brand-new Ranked mode is lined up to open on November 4. The two overlap across the first week of November, giving the fighter-collector two reasons to log in at once.
Still in beta, the game has already crossed about 1,600,000 visits and holds about 17,000 favorites, with about 4,300 fighters in matches as of this writing. That keeps it among the more active anime brawlers on Roblox even before it leaves early access.
Below is the full schedule, followed by a plain-language rundown of what each event adds and when it runs, in Eastern Time with Pacific noted alongside. Last verified November 4.

Current and upcoming events
20+ Fighters + 2V2 — live through November 7
The 20+ Fighters + 2V2 push is the event drawing the most interest on the calendar right now, with about 660 players marked as interested. It opened October 31 and runs until the morning of November 7 (11:31 AM ET / 8:31 AM PT), with about 3 days left to go. As the name suggests, it bundles a large batch of fighters to unlock alongside 2v2 play, so it doubles as both a roster expansion and a spotlight on the two-versus-two mode.
Ranked mode — opening November 4
Ranked is the next thing on the schedule, set to open November 4 at 1:00 PM ET (10:00 AM PT) and run through November 7 at 5:43 PM ET (2:43 PM PT). The developer’s note frames it simply: climb the ladder by raising your elo rating with every win. It layers a competitive mode on top of the usual 1v1 and 2v2 fights, and it has already drawn about 270 interested players ahead of launch.
Recent events
Looking back, the schedule shows a steady drumbeat of fighter drops. The 8 New Fighters event ran October 20–28 and added the likes of Dio, Chrollo, Minato, Sakura, Majin Buu and Deku to the roster. Just before it, a shorter drop on October 19–21 brought Makima, Gin and Kizaru into the lineup. Together with the current unlock event, that is three roster additions inside roughly three weeks — in line with how often the developer tends to ship new content.
