I participated in Cannes 2010. I can give more information. The level of the tournament was rather average, there were less than thirty participants. The players having a good level were three first ones. The tournament was " double elimination ". It was authorized to lose once before being eliminated. I won against 4K in semi-final in a mirror of Arakune. It was very ugly to see. Then I lost against V-13 of my friend and sparring partner, Zero No Shana (HimeYuki x on Xbox Live). I then lost this time against 4K, always there mirror of Arakune. I had difficulty in anti air and especially to understand indeed the action because I have never made mirror of Arakune, but 4K is a good player of Arakune also : gg ^^
Then I helped Zero No Shana with whom I play all the time to settle the last details for his final as I play I same Arakune sub. Finale was rather fast, Zero very well played, furthermore he knows perfectly the match up. The match up Arakune / V-13 being very difficult for Ara.
I believe that only the video of finale will be alignment, we see there V-13 managing perfectly the match up Arakune.
