Blazblue SBO 2010 Preview Part 1

SBO is this weekend! This tournament puts Japan's (and some foreign countries) elite fighting game players against each other, and the level of competition for BlazBlue is no exception. Here's some teams to look out for during the tournament:

Shounen (Litchi)/Eesuke (Carl)

If you're a Guilty Gear player, just seeing Shounen's name should be enough to raise hype levels. You'll definitely think Litchi is broken after seeing him play, and his partner Eesuke is no slouch either - they won their qualifier in a dominating fashion, even with Galileo (Tager) and Tenchi (Hakumen) in the mix.

Akuto (Bang)/Hiroshi (Jin)

Bang mashers might know Akuto better as Satoshi, the Bang from Tokyo that destroyed Chiba (Team Gamechariot) in the 14 on 14 eariler this year. His partner Hiroshi "never enters tournies", but his Jin was on point at the qualifier they won. Satoshi won multiple events throughout the year, so he's a clear favorite for top 8.

Nezu (Bang)/Ranrebo (Carl)

If you've been keeping up with A-cho's Youtube account, you've definitely seen Nezu's bang play. He's won several A-cho BB ranbats (always with fierce competition) and in an ear destroying way (BANG☆BANG☆BANG☆BANG☆). Just by having Carl as a partner, this team is way more dangerous.

Souji (Arakune)/Kyaku (Carl)

Kyaku was last years runner up for CT. Souji, another player that's won many tournaments throughout the year. These two together = a huge threat. Saying that being touched by them leads to death is an understatement.
