Fuerte!!! By the way Elf heard you like mixups!

Itabashi plays a lot
Bleh, Viper should have knocked him out, lol. But good match. Shame Viper missed her Ultra, but it wasn’t going to hit from that range anyway.
Marn steps up.

Close match. Flame kicks everywhere.
Chu-ashi vs Takaki

clutch ass ultra in both rounds from both players

Great stuff from both players. Let’s hope for some more Viper action later on, haha.

FANTASTIC ULTRAS!!!
Lol, nabbed by the Ultra twice, that Gief must be pissed.
Bonchan (SG) vs Yagamai (EF)
sagat > elf
match was pretty one-sided 
Right now it’s only 10:30ish (PM) in japan. This tourney is probably going to last till at least 1-2AM. Time to grab coffee T_T.
Nyanshi vs Ichi
Ryu > Ken
DAMMNNN. Clutch ass DP XX FADC, ULTRA by nyanshi.
Gasshuku vs lmn
Viper > Dictator
Missed ultra by dictator ends it.
Ichi vs Bonchan
Ken < Sagat
Crazy pressure by Bonchan.
Nyanshi vs Gasshuku
Ryu < Viper
Cluth ass ultra kill by Gasshuku
ELF is lame
Bonchan not in the mood for any of Yagami’s Fuerte shenanigans.
Extremely clutch Ultra from Ryu!
Tough match for Elf.
Probably the first time I’ve felt bad for Ken.
Props to the Ryu on taking out one of the top ranked Kens in Japan.
EDIT: LET’S GO GASSHUKU!!! He’s a wicked Viper!
DOUBLE EDIT: Great stuff! Not an easy match-up for Viper but Gasshuku made it look easy. Though the other player was unlucky missing his Ultra like that.
Gasshuku is just too awesome, nice finish. Props to Nyan-Shi though.
Woah, Bon-Chan wasn’t having any of it in that last round.
I’m thankful for the stream and there is some high level play on display but when you look at the names registered in the first post…
Maybe another hour before the real tournament starts? This is all quals it seems.
Gasshuku is tearing it up so far.
EDIT: Gasshuku is the man!
Leave it to Japan to remind us of how deadly Sagat can be. :lol:
A little combo at the beginning of the second round and already 50% health lost. :razz: I was almost forgetting the elite damage potential of Sagat.
I hope so. This thing does end at 5am after all :looney:
EDIT: Yeah it is quals lol
Who else qualified apart from Gasshuku so far?
