Art by Moljib.Darkstalkers Combination Cup 5
The biggest Vampire event of the year, the DCC, has been scheduled for October 10th. There will be singles contests for both Vampire Hunter and Vampire Savior. Usually they have a VS 5on5 the night before, too.
Leading up to the main event will be four preliminary contests for the Chubu, Tohoku, Kansai and Kanto areas (no Kyushu this year.) Winners get a seed that lets them skip the first round.
Nagoya Monogatari 7

UPDATE 7/18: You can watch the stream archive here: winners' bracket, losers' bracket and grand finals. There are some issues with that first link — sound cuts out, Gama no Abura not really familiar with VS, missing bottom-half semis — but things pick up in the losers' bracket. Haitani, Dara and Oboro teaming up set up lots of great Kansai vs. Kanto cards.

Oh, cool you're back with Vampire infos.
ReplyDeleteVampire scene seems to be very active right now, yeah, it's a minor scene, but still alive and gorgeous.
There are monthly and weekly events and a lot of videos on various channel on youtube.
The names with most victories are well known names, but there are a few rookies that are awesome too: i'm referring to Kuma, Nan (i think he's now the third Bulleta of Japan^^) and Komemaru too.
I'm really glad you posted this news Nohoho, please keep doing it.
Thanks^^
The DCC announcement was kind of late this year I was starting to think they might not do it. There's going to be a really nice pamphlet for that tourney this year, btw, that you're going to want to get your hands on, Jinbe.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a mini-mook:

ReplyDeleteI want to go on the real stage and loud:
ReplyDelete"Chikyuuuuuu-sama"
while he playing^^
Btw a 1on1 event seems interesting, really. I prefer 3on3, but single is even awesome. Obviously i hope Chikyuu will win the whole thing, but it's still impossible.
The booklet is damn interesting, i want DVD too. Maybe in my future travelo to japan^^
The Nagoya stories bracket:
this event seems damn interesting, Nohoho. I can see a few Anakaris too into, really good. And uoah at the Ibaraki VIP team, really good. Glad SIN is back.
Please if you some info about the whole bracket or if the videos come on Youtube, post here^^
Nagoya Mongatari was awesome: incredible matches (like Haitani-Kaji, Dara-Kosho x2, Oboro-DD), crowd really into it, Nakanishi getting emotional at the end (!?)
ReplyDeleteI'll update the post with the stream archives.
I watched the archive of the recent Tourney and I must say; this was one of the better Savior tournaments recently.
ReplyDeletemany good matches like,
ego vs shu
haitani vs kaji
haitani vs dd
anything Oboro.
Savior scene on fire in Japan.
