Some miscellaneous items. Thanks to Aka Zangief for the ST scoop.

- The Gian Recital site has been updated with a teaser for this year's event. '09 DVDs on sale at Versus and Ooyama Newton.

- Each month leading up to X-Mania 11 there's going to be an "X-Mania Archives" tournament at Baba Mikado. Format to-be-determined.

- Although most of the X-Mania 10 footage is gone, Mattsun seems to have conjured up the video for X-Mania 9 and X-Mania 8. Stay tuned…

- Danisen events have started up at Versus. Twice a month, players have a chance to fight for higher titles. It goes like this:

• Fight a similarly-ranked opponent
• Get one point for winning, give up a point for losing
• At +3 points your rank goes up, at -3 your rank goes down

A few arcades have been running this type of event on Third Strike for a little while. The Haitani vids I mentioned the other day are danisen fights.

Thirty people showed up this past sunday. Current top rankers: Nuki Chun (9th Dan), Gian Sim (8th Dan), KKY Sim (7th Dan)

- Nakano TRF — Hokuto hotspot and SF4 streaming pioneer — has been setting up SSF2X twice a week. Not sure if they plan to have tourneys and/or a stream.

- There will be only eight teams at SBO. Rumored (2ch chatter) Muteki, Shiki & Nuki team-up.

Super Turbo News Bits

Update: added a couple upcoming live broadcasts.

- New Game Spot Versus ST team battle over here. KKY, Nuki and Noguchi were on the same team.

- Mattsun accidentally erased most of the X-Mania 10 footage. Even if someone had captured the stream that was only one station of many it looks like those videos are lost to history.

- This year's Gian Recital 5on5 has been scheduled for May 2nd. Not sure if there are going to be any preliminary contests.

- The second GVision Ranking Battle is March 6th at 8pm (Japan.) Live stream.

- On March 14th there are going to be two events at Kasugai 50: random 2on2 at 2pm (Japan) then Chubu vs. Kansai 16 vs. 16 at 5pm. Live stream.

Minimum Logic in Action

Riz0ne found a nice demonstration of both Minimum Logic concepts (one, two.) Thank you!



At 1:32 and 3:07 you can see Aniken using built-in Dragon Punches. Nice display of Ken vs. Honda okiseme throughout that match.

Then at 1:39, if Aniken had done a button release fierce fireball he could have blocked or DP'ed SIN's Sumo Drop.
