btw, I didn’t mention it before unless you read the blog, but kubo was at my qualifier and ended up losing to ken/tekka in semis. Thought you might like to know about everybody’s favorite niconico karas/ryu.
edit: and yes, I do have it on video 
It’s probably the most epic match of the tourney.
^^^03-09-2009 was the date it was posted, but I’m just gonna say it was a tournament that had nothing to do with SBO.
i wanna see vids! ><
OK thanks to heartnana the vids are now up.
1st round ken/tekka mirror-
semis:
kubo(ryu/karas) v ???(ken/tekka)
semis ?(ryu/chun, the guy who beat me) vs random karas scrub.
and finals, ??vs ???
enjoy, and if someone else wants to post these on the vids thread feel free.
I think his combo is j.A j.B j.B j.A j.B j.B into 63214 B then into tekka assist.
That chain would give hime enough time to reset after the first tekka use if im nt wrong.
His ken was pretty godlike! He didnt seemed to drop his combos a few times tho, but i guess well he still played pretty good overall :3 but his rush down seems pretty more conservative. But still xD learned alot of tricks just looking at him play!
Any character that can cross up well with Tekkaman assist is pretty deadly. Very consistent with that Team Super as well. Ken/Tekkaman player played pretty gracefully overall.
That’s the power of Space Lariat!!! it seems.

Yeah sorry ??? not ??? was our first Kansai regional winner. There’s another qualifier this Sunday but unfortunately I don’t have money to make it out.
wow really dig that Ken/tekka combo makes me wanna learn with tekkaman
It really helps that Ken has two launchers (5C [on aerial opponents] and 3C, with the former being more reliable [as far as its hitbox] in the Tekkaman assist combos as well as a tad bit stronger than 3C. You still have to forward dash/ back dash to catch up with the direction your opponent will fall since the Tekkaman assist has strange tracking properties.
As for the team super, it always takes the continuing combo to the corner and comboing after the supers are over is pretty simple and consistent.
Looks like the 2nd kansai regional ended up being Karas/ryu v Karas/ryu. GO1, the guy who you can see getting beasted on by buta in the semis in my last vids, beat kubo in the finals and became the 2nd qualifier for my region while I was away.
2nd qualifier for me this weekend. Heartnana’s coming too so stay tuned for some vids hopefully.
EDIT: Oops, didn’t see that I was double posting.
Yeah, im going for the lolz.
K just for fun, here’s the team combos that have qualified so far:
Ken/Rock
Doronjo/Ryu
Rock/Roll
Ken/Tekka
Gold Lightan
Karas/Ryu
PTX
Karas/Ryu
Jun/Ryu
More balanced than people give it credit for? We report, you decide.
Love it. Love it.
Giants made it in! Awesome 
No Polymar players ;(.
Not yet anyways, and there’s none that I’ve seen even trying out in Kansai, so it’s not really looking that hot for the P-man, but who knows.
wow, no chun players either. A shame no polymar have made it yet, I hope at least 1 can qualify
