noun

Short for Ranking Battle.
Also, possibly Random Battle.

It's a term widely used among 2d fighting game enthusiasts, as a word used for local gatherings of competitive playing.

Such "ranbats" are often arranged online, from different popular communities such as Shoryuken.com or tekkenzaibatsu.com.
A handful of players gather, and usually play one another in an informal tournament, usually for fun and training.
