"Gian Recital Encore - two events to commemorate the DVD release"
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get this DVD??
Finally an elite DeeJay player! Most top players who used DJ only had him as a secondary character, I'm happy to see someone maining him and doing so well.
ReplyDeleteTime to add a DeeJay section at your Japanese player list, Nohoho :D
Agreed, it's very nice to see a DJ up there with the top. (A DJ who isn't primarily known for another character that is).
ReplyDeleteThis is hella offtopic btw but NH2, how is ST doing in japan at the moment?
Geo - The website doesn't say yet. I think they'll be on sale at a Mikado, Versus, Newton arcades.
ReplyDeleteGargamuza -
Sweeping Tama's team at X10 was wicked awesome. Seki Rules.
Time to add a DeeJay section at your Japanese player list, Nohoho :D
I agree. Stay tuned...
Kareeeeem -
NH2, how is ST doing in japan at the moment?
I think Mattsun said that X-Mania 10 had the best turnout ever.
Things have been quiet in Kanto since then - only Newton and Vegas monthlies. I don't know if Gian plans to run another ranbat series next year.
As usual one can count on this blog having all that sick and up to date info one wants being a vs/st-fan. Always a splendid job nohoho!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what's up with Gian btw? Feels like it was a long time I saw him in any tournament, is it because he haven't placed well lately or is it because he haven't participated?
does Gian still play
ReplyDeleteGian didn't make it to Starcup because his car broke down.
ReplyDeleteHe got top 3 in a bunch of events last spring it's difficult to both produce tourneys and compete in them.
I'm sure he'll be at that new years thing (live stream, btw) possibly MC'ing even.
Thanks for the post and the link, NH2! I have been translating a few of your posts into Portuguese (with the proper credit), then posting in a Brazilian forum, and the content always receives praise.
ReplyDeleteI have a few questions about the tourney:
1) who was the Claw player with the glove?
2) who was the Ryu player who was playing against him during the casuals which have preceded the tournament?
Regards,
oldschool_BR
1) MAO
ReplyDelete2) one of the 3:
Hanayama (Light Blue Ryu)
Niwa Carnival (Dark Green Ryu)
Moritaku (Orange Ryu)
Otochun looks like he's trying to win the Japanese version of 'The Pick-Up Artist', lol.
