On November 29th the Thunder Beast Cup — a 3on3 Super Turbo tournament — is going down at Kasugai 50. Akashachi Kancho wrote that since Kanto has X-Mania and Kansai has the Rekka Cup (annual A-cho event) Chubu ought to have a good 3on3 tourney. They're planning to run a live stream, maybe here.

The Star Cup video blowout continues. For the 2006 and 2007 contests there was a rule that prohibited having more than two "big 5" characters (Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Boxer, Claw, O.Sagat) on a team. I uploaded the results over here. 1.5MB pdf in Japanese.

Vampire Savior Character Parameters

Working with Dara and the listeners on a recent Nico radio show, DD put together a set of character parameter graphs for Vampire Savior. Click the image over there for a larger version. He doesn't go into a lot of detail beyond stressing that this is a work-in-progress. For reference, the ranking diagram that DD and company put together earlier this year is here.

Clockwise from the top, the attributes are:
攻撃 Offense
潜在能力 Potential Ability
対応 Counters*
守備 Defense
安定性 Stability
スピード Speed

* I'm not sure how to translate this term. Perhaps Anakaris has a high mark because he can respond to jump-ins well.
