Tougeki 2012 qualifiers schedule and results

So, today’s Kanto spot went down like this…

Kamii (Dudley) / Sei (Elena) / BLUE (Ibuki)

Too many great teams are slowly being left out…
And still there’s no clue about the hot GAME SPACE VEGAS qual. Uh.

Game Space Vegas Qualifer

1st Place: [Death Space] PALBARA(MA), Wantaaren(YA), Tarou(YU)
2nd place: [3rdClubLeebros] オワタナベ(KE), ネックス(YU), Orochi Noppo(DU)

オワタナベ : Owanatabe
ネックス : Nekkusu

Doesn’t “Tarou” looks exactly like MATSUDA?
Maybe I’m just deluding myself…

Wait, Bara also said this on a tweet yesterday:
闘劇青切符取りました やはりやり込みは裏切らないな まあ、今日の予選で俺、一試合もやってないけどな・・・ 松田くん、わんたーれん、ありがとう!!

yes,i believe desuuchuutarou is indeed matsuda

let’s hope so anyway

70% of the teams qualified so far are garbage,though

不思議の国のわんたーれん is a tribute / joke / play on words > ふしぎの海のナディア

out of the qualified ones, who are the favored teams?

Rikimaru - KO- OTB is the best team so far.

I may be wrong, but shouldn’t オワタナベ be Owatanabe instead of Owanatabe?

Yeah, you’re right, my brain has switched na & ta syllables!

Nuki - Kokujin - Tokura
Rikimaru - KO - OTB
Yakkun - Uraken - Mimora

I’d put money down on these three teams. Possibly Haitani - Momochi - Daigo as well, with Haitani carrying the whole team.

Not to shoot down anyone else because these are all teams that qualified for SBO, but those 3-4 teams seem to have really good chances at taking it this year. It’s still early though, and Quals aren’t even over. If Kuroda - Boss - MOV do qualify, then I’ll add them to the list of possible winners(Boss carrying them, of course).

Those teams are stacked as fuck man

someone has to carry Kuroda and MOV?

idk about kuroda, but MOV doesnt look to hot in the few vids hes been in these last few months.

Lately MOV’s been spending more time in SF4 so there’s some rust in him, and Kuroda, despite all of his knowledge and skill, always had strong teammates to back him up.

Also, Boss can carry any team.

come on, have faith in kurdova!!

Cheers ESN, I wonder if Nekkusu is also Zonekkusu, the Alex/Dudley player.

true but then again its SBO lol how many times have we seen random teams make it thru the beginning rounds and the strong teams get randomed out =/ likeeee Chinta OCV’ing KO/RX/Nuki like wtf :sad:

but anyways right now it seems like Nuki/Kokujin/Tokura are on par with KO/Rikimaru/Ochibi if those 2 teams meet, i think Japan is goin to be plunged into a hell dimension =/

…yeah, I’m gonna have to agree here. Osaka always had strong players(they won SBO the year before), but nobody expected KO/RX/Nuki to get beat that early on in 2008. And by early on I mean in like the 2nd round or so.

EDIT: Speaking of Osaka taking SBO, that event in 2007 was just nuts. Besides RX killing everyone up to Grand Finals, this was also the year that no Tokyo team made it to Top 4: Osaka, Nagoya, Saitama, and Kanagawa.

Any word about match or any of the ibuki greats?
