Ugh, I hate that winning team. I hope SBO is better.
ReplyDelete"There's a warm-up tourney the night before with a special edition of Mattsun's X-Mania Archives series. He wrote that the main event will feature a surprise unheard of in fighting game history."
ReplyDeleteSo what was the suprise?
I missed most of the stream cause I was at our ranbats. I hope they post up videos from this. I really wanna see Pony's OCV. That sounds crazy!
ReplyDeleteDhalsimx2 (YES!) and Claw FTW... That would be a tough team to beat!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info NH2.

Yeah what exactly was that earth shattering announcement?
ReplyDeleteI think Cooperation Cup 9 was going on this weekend which would mean Nuki was attending that instead.
I didn't catch what the surprise was.
ReplyDeleteAfter the tourney wrapped up I think they showed some archives footage from the last few Xmanias but I was too tired to check it out.
Hakase came up with really big stuff against MAO and Shiki. Good show at the 5on and Xmania he's having a fantastic year.
This website has all of the xmania results in a simple list.
Must.see.pony.ocv
ReplyDeletePlease tell me someone recorded that at least?
2 Sims and 1 Claw
ReplyDeletegross
Some pictures. They had monitors set up so you could see your opponent.
ReplyDeleteAlso Gian ate every flavor of ice cream in the vending machine. He said the watermelon and chocomint were so nasty that he almost gave up.
The night before there was an east-west 19 on 19 battle that Team West took. Probably Chubu teamed up with Kansai to take it.
LOL those monitor views are awesome.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the event was a blast
I was there the Saturday afternoon the day before the tournament until about 5:45PM but had to leave for a flight so couldn't make it this year. Hardly anyone was there until about 5pm or so when ARG and a couple of other ST players played a few games.
