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.
wow, another nice hawk vs honda match !
