English translation:

The games of Tohgeki 2007 are finally announced. Qualifier locations and dates will be announced in February 2007, and qualifiers will run from April to June. The final event will be held during the summer.

The games list:

Arcana Heart (1v1)
Guilty Gear: Accent Core (3v3)
King of Fighters '98 (1v1)
Street Fighter III: Third Strike (3v3)
Soul Calibur 3 (1v1)
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (3v3)
Hyper Street Fighter 2 (2v2)
Virtua Fighter 5 (3v3)
Melty Blood: Act Cadenza ver.B (2v2)

Surprises:

MB:AC ver.B not being 3 on 3 this year, given its popularity in Japan.
SC3 making it at all, given its lack of popularity (and being told by someone close to the SBO staff that this game wasn’t going to be added, heh).
HSF2?!? KoF98?!?!? WTF?

Please remember that there are US teams currently scheduled for SF3:3S and T5:DR, with other games (HSF2? SC3? MB:AC???) a possibility.

arcana heart and kof98 YESSSSSSSSs

“START RUNNING NOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!”

I haven’t seen Arcana Heart, should be good to check out… so will KOF98. I just hope they put more VF5 matches on than they have with the VF4:FT from the last 2 series of DVD’s

Waitwaitwaitwait…KOF NINETY EIGHT?! What happened to KOFXI? Also, the VF5 and T5 DR tourney is definitely gonna be fun to watch. And of course, 3S, just because.

I’m guessing they just took the most popular KOF game, or they are using 98 to promote the 98 remake that’s coming out soon.

I like this line-up…most of the games I actually want to watch! 3s can dead as always.

Back to old school KoF nice.

Meltyyyyyyyy Bloooooood

What about SS Tenka? Hmmmm

Oh wells. At least SC3 Arcade is there.

I’m gonna like this! AE, KOF98, SC3, 3S, DR, VF5! :clap:

Predictions:
-US and Europe will get spots for x games.
-US will place in AE.
-Europe will place in SC3.
-KO will not win 3S.

Hopefully there will be some AE qualifier in the U.S.

When’s the last time KO won anything really? Guy’s been falling behind.

guy is getting fat

Hey We do need a Qualifier for the US certainly in 98 etc…man I wish they had NGBC or the others etc…but hey 98 works…

This is very very good news…I have yet to play Arcana Heart but I am looking forward to it when it finally does get released!!!

Solid lineup, im loving it.

Arcana Heart is the secks. SC3:AE is awesome as well. And then MB:ACvB, DR, VF5, all solid games that im gonna have fun watching for sure.

I hope there’s a qualifier somewhere near me. :smiley:

I dont see why there shouldnt be!:confused: US beat Japans butt in AE at Evo but the word is there best players werent there or something like that shrugs
To me that would be common courtesy to let the US get at least 2 spots!
Pretty cool to see 98 there, it would be nice if the US got a spot in that too. Im more than certain if ChinaTown Fair KOF 98 heads knew about this they would mop for free!

Aww no HnK this year :frowning:

Well that was pretty much to be expected

Lineup looks solid.

3S + SC3AE = Win. :lovin:

Wait… HSF2? I thought Japan didn’t like that game, I heard they replaced alot of the HSF2 cabs with ST…
