The 5th 3rd Strike Co-operation Cup happens this Sunday, 9/18 at Machida’s “Beat Tribe” arcade.
Since no one has mentioned it here yet, I thought I would post and share some info with you guys.
There was a 3 on 3 tournament held on Sunday at Game Newton to determine seeds, won by Keeper (Ken), MOV (Chun) and the 3rd person I forgot. Notable things at this tournament included Yamazaki’s Twelve OCV’ing and eliminating Kokujin (Dudley), KO (Yun) and Ohnuki’s (Chun-Li) team.
This co-operation cup’s entry is Internet entry only. The entry cut off is tomorrow, Wednesday 9/14/05. Cost is $25 per team.
A list of already signed up teams can be found here in Japanese:

Anyway, it looks to be a really interesting tournament with already 30 teams signed up (150 people)! It’s going to be crazy with that many people in Beat Tribe, it’s an arcade located in the basement of a small building.
As for my team, I will be signing up tonight with team of Top Machida players :karate: Probably nobody you guys have heard of though since they don’t play in tournaments much. Co-op cup is more of a “having fun” tournament though so it draws a much larger crowd.
I’ll be sure and update this thread with results and upsets on Sunday 9/18 after the tournament!
