Two Brighton financial advisers are swapping spreadsheets for mortal combat as they vie to become the best computer games players in the country.
James Kaslik and Kathy Pace will take on the personas of brutal hardman Kilik and amazonian warrior Ivy when they play the Dreamcast game Soul Calibre at the first UK Console Championships.
Four hundred of the country's best gamers are expected at the event which will be held in a London hotel.
Ms Pace said: "We often play with friends, staying up till two in the morning."
She said she always played the same character in the 'beat 'em up' game. "When I play, I'm really her."
