There are going to be some Kansai events next month: Nagase Cup 6 at UFO plus a 2on2 tourney at A-cho.
A bit of local action: Your humble blog editor taking some lumps over here. Also Damdai vs. top Florida player Mavrick here. Thank you Kajoq for the vids.
For the past four years, Super Turbo players have got together in the spring for a five on five tournament. Results for the last couple years on the blog here: 2007, 2008. For the fifth 5on5 tournament they are adding preliminary contests ("ranking battles") where the winners get points that will be used for seeding at the main event. Ranking battles run March through June and use different formats at different arcades:
Game Newton: Singles Mikado: 3on3 Game Inn Sakura: 2on2
The main event — the Gian Recital — is scheduled for the third week of July to run in conjunction with the 3rd Strike Cooperation Cup.
I'll probably post results and video links as things get underway. Stay tuned.
These following videos are highlights from a TV show where top players visit to duke it out and chat about their game. The complete episodes are here: Third Strike, Street Fighter IV.
