http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11032406 Love the commentator when Mitsurugi did a dash Edgey at 7:53. "JAYOKU HOUTENJIN!!!"

Sometimes on NicoVideo you'll see 髭（hige), which refers to Slayer since it means beard. Also some of them like to romanize Buri to become 鰤,which obviously refers to Bridget.

Yeah that's him. GALAXY!

LOL doesn't it feel good to have a fangirl?

No he's still playing at Club Sega Akihabara. My friend went down to Tokyo last week and saw him there.

Sickest team ever formed for this year's SBO GGXX! http://www.tougeki.com/prelim?id=5013 Shonen(TE), RF(FA), Ogawa(ED) Too bad they lost in the D-1 area qualifier after winning the last chance qualifier at a-cho.

There are videos of Niga? FYI Tanabata uses the same color as Niga, with his trademark TK Footloose win pose.

http://www.youtube.com/user/GAMEacho#p/u a-cho's YouTube account has some casual matches uploaded, which were recorded after the "N-O Toubatsu Matsuri" 4v4 tournament (N-O joined as a 1-man team and got 2nd). The casuals matches featured many well-known players such as Shonen, Maddo, Susumu and Omito.

Attsun was at the tournament? He was probably the best I-no back in #R days, and Koichi was teaming with ABEGEN playing Millia.

"TK Footloose victory pose", Tanabata is running wild these days!

Is Maruken a teacher or a professor? Whenever I watch his matches on Nicovideo, there are always tons of comment saying "Maruken-sensei" flying past.

Dogura is probably in Tokyo for GODSGARDEN #2? His Dictator in SF4 is really good as well.

Yeah I'm pretty sure those 2 are mike and Koichi respectively. Dogura/Inoue team is just too top tier!

Yeah Mike please take care of your health when you are still young, if not it will come back to haunt you when you grow older. Doing away with snus is probably good for you as well.

There's a chance that many big names won't make it to the finals since single elimination can be random. IIRC players like FAB always only manage to qualify in the last few qualifiers.

http://dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8032 Yeah this thread got buried due to lack of interest. If you do watch the weekly Mikado ranbat match vids uploaded to NicoVideo like this, the link to Jonio Cup is always included in the video description.

Tsujikawa(SL) vs Maddo(VE) Kabegiwa no DC(JO) vs Dengen(MA) N-O(VE) vs Hasegawa(SO) Nununenu(MA) vs Hasegawa(SO) Kabegiwa no DC(JO) vs Nezu(RO) Muri Shinju(JA) vs Roz(KY) Kabegiwa no DC(JO) vs Nununenu(MA) Nununenu(MA) vs Muri Shinju(JA) Kabegiwa no DC(JO) vs Roz(KY) GALAXY!!!

The main website states that there will tentatively be more game titles announced in April for SBO, so games like MBAA may make it in the end.
