First I would like to thank all the participants not only for the qualifiers but also the qualifers who attended from Showdown Championships. We are all very thankful for the support of our players and the players outside of our local scope who came to this event as well.

2nd Team Cali - Mr Naps(Bryan)/200 Yen(Anna)/3ZX(Heihachi)

I can’t thank everyone enough. I saw some truly magnificent matches but most importantly I made some really awesome friends this weekend. My regret is that we didnt have more spots to give away. In my opinion, each one of the participants is a great player and deserves to represent USA in Japan.
I will post of the videos as soon as I can. Once again on behalf of PZ, a big thank you to everyone who attended.

Lol, I made it into so many photos. See if you can spot me in all those! 
Dow did an exceptional job on photography for this event, best work of his I’ve ever seen. Favorite photos: Bobby reacting to his team winning a Tekken spot.
Hope you guys all do well in Japan - Jim, Bobby, Vick & Chris. Tekken Strikes needs to have Bobby yell at the Japanese every time they beat someone. That would probably freak them out…:wgrin:
good stuff to everyone that played, and lots of props to the cali guys that came down.
gg Vick, Slim, and Crow, hold it down for us in Japan!
Good luck to the team Tekken strikes and Deviljim in Japan.
