Also, in spirit of this event, Arcade Legacy's Kyle Wattula is currently in Japan and held a kumite with various top VS players at Tokyo's Takadanobaba Mikado. This is a rare chance to see Kyle's Morrigan go up against some of Japan's best, so be sure to check out the footage below!

Japanese player Sasazuka (Lei-Lei) had this to say about Kyle's play after the event...

At least from watching Kyle’s play, it seems that foreign players also are properly advance guarding. I think Kyle would be quite strong if he used a stronger character than Morrigan. If you underestimate the foreign player’s level they’ll catch you sleeping…
