This is an exhibition that took place after Saturday's singles tourney at Mikado. At the pre-DCC 5on Chikyu is once again teaming up with Dara, Oboro, Kaji and Shimatsuya. Only two weeks away I'll probably make a preview post with prelim news and recent videos soon.

Ko-hatsu Live ST Broadcast
There are two Super Turbo events at Ko-hatsu this weekend. September 25th at 9pm (Japan time) is Ko-hatsu vs. New Mammoth [Arcade]. I guess it's sort of an Osaka vs. Kyoto thing. They're going to be streaming the event live over here:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/kouhatsu
Also on September 26th at 4pm there's another solo 3on3 tourney. The last one was excellent hopefully some more hot ST this time. Aka Zangief wrote that Sunday's contest will also be broadcast live.
Elsewhere…
Versus Team Battle 092110
Part One
Part Two
Muneo, Hiroyan and Oonishi all used Ryu. It looks like Buzan missed a "Buzan Combo" it'll be nice to see that one in action again.

How to Buy a Nico Live Ticket for Tougeki
In order to watch the SBO Super Turbo live broadcast you'll need to buy a "ticket" on Nico that lets you access the show on Sunday. One day tickets cost 1,500 "Nico Nico Points" which are 1,500 yen or about 18 dollars. I can't recommend purchasing one of these tickets for the following reasons:
If you're feeling undeterred I've put together a quick guide for buying a ticket for Sunday. h/t Laban
Before you start you'll need:
First you need to purchase points on WebMoney that will go towards the Nico points. They have an english affiliate site here. Buy the points there and charge them to an account on the main site here. The former has english guides to the latter I don't think I need to go over it.
While logged in to your Nico acount, go here:
https://point.nicovideo.jp/index/purchase/
Click on the amount of points that you want to purchase.
Select WebMoney from the list of payment options.
Confirm payment method and points.
Choose the 'pay with WebMoney wallet' option.
Enter your WebMoney wallet ID and password. (again, there's a guide to setting this up on that SuToCorp link above)
Click the numbers to enter your four digit security password.
Click the orange button to complete the order.
Points successfully purchased.
Once you've taken care of that, you're going to spend the points on the ticket for Sunday's live broadcast.
http://live.nicovideo.jp/product/tougeki_b
When you click the pink button there's a pop up that warns you that this command cannot be undone.
When the broadcast starts Sunday, September 9th at 10 am (Japan) go here and cross your fingers:
http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv26394822
The white door should open. Click on it to see Muneo sweeping everybody in ST and RF sweeping everybody in SF4.
- Super Turbo is one of the more esoteric of the six games being shown on Sunday so it may not get much camera time. The final is the only thing guaranteed to get broadcast.
- People may set up free (bootleg) mirrors. I don't know how vigilant Stickam, Justin.tv or Ustream staff have been in the past about shutting those down. Of course, Nico says its forbidden etc. etc. but there's only so much they can do on their end to stop it.
- Premium Nico video account holders — paid for above and beyond this ticket scheme — get priority access to live broadcasts. The SBO gateway has the usual white and yellow doors for this. So people who pay for a ticket but are using free accounts may still face reduced quality and/or a viewer cap.
- The method I'll outline below cost me 28 dollars instead of 18. Nico doesn't take American credit cards and I got dinged paying through other means.
If you're feeling undeterred I've put together a quick guide for buying a ticket for Sunday. h/t Laban
Before you start you'll need:
- A Nico video account. Sign-up starts here. Put in your email address. The form on the next page hasn't changed that much since my how-to. Nickname, gender, birthday, where you're from, password, security question. I think you can register on their Spanish or German sites if you prefer.
- A Paypal account with a balance of at least $30.

Capcom Gals, GMC Radio, Versus Video
Art by Kinu Nishimura. Via andriasang. E-Capcom link. UPDATE: new Tsurumaki videos. Scroll down.
Here are some notes from Dara's interview with Gian and Otochun on Thursday. Dara produced the Grand Master Challenge tourney series. Top Vampire Savior Demitri and, according to Otochun, no slouch with Ryu in Super Turbo.
Otochun said that since Nagase UFO closed, things have dropped off in Kansai somewhat. Even online he doesn't see a lot of Osaka players like Tsuji. Still, he was really confident about his teams chances. ShootingD and Aniken both ready to fight Shiki and Nuki. Aniken has been fighting Tsuji for years and he's been sparring with SuperStar online; Kansai and Chubu players are really familiar with the Boxer match. People think that ShootingD has retired but Otochun said that his Ryu is really tough. If Otochun himself can take out Dhalsim players they have a good shot at taking it. He's been working hard on the Dictator match online and also playing a lot against a local O.Hawk player.
When Dara asked about Chubu teams to look out for Otochun singled out Futachan, MAO and Ito. They've got great team balance and all three are extremely motivated to get a big result. Later on in the show Gian said that DeeJay and his touch-of-death could be a big threat to Muteki's team.
Gian was less enthusiastic than Otochun about his team. Since Kurahashi lives pretty far the three haven't had a chance to practice together. In fact Otochun said he's been having fun playing with YuuVega and Kurahashi online. In general Tokyo players are most wary of Otochun. If Gian can defeat Boxer players he thinks they can win.
Both players spoke really highly of Tamashima's team. Great character balance and "teamwork." Gian hadn't heard of the American players. "No Alex or John Choi," said Otochun. They're both hoping to see Komoda and Taira at the last chance Qs.

The rules stipulated that each player's team had to have one original character, one new challenger from Super and one boss. So K didn't go with Hawk because he picked Fei instead.
