Why was that guy not ducking Josie's 3,3? Pretty sure after the first hit you can still duck the second. :lol
 
Are you kidding me? 200 people signed up for DBFZ but after DQ's only 23 were left before it began?

Welcome to why we charge people for things.

Have not been on top of the GG scene. Who are the notables looking to make Top 8?

Machaboo is probably the favourite to win. Other good JP players are Nage (the world's best Faust), Rion (Ky), Ogawa (Zato) , Omito (Johnny), Kazunoko (Raven, Sol), Nakamura (Millia), Zadi (Raven).

From the US there are players like Bears (Chipp), Kid Viper (Johnny), Daymendou (Slayer), Marlinpie (Zato), Lord Knight (Millia).

The seeding looks terrible so the top 8 may be kinda wonky so lets see..

Best Xiaoyu in the world arguably getting sent home is a big deal.
Eh? I wouldn't call her the best. I haven't been watching Tekken for a long time, but it's my impression that, while Tanukana is a very good player, she's beatable. She got taken out in pools just last week in a tourney in the Philippines. She's a pretty reckless player in spots.

Damn, can't believe I've been missing UNIEL :eek:, probably the last tournament for this game ever since UNIST is finally coming out soon.

That's why I said arguably. But it's not a debate that she is the best Xiaoyu in Japanese Arcade ranks.

Zadi, Omito, Ogawa, Rion and Dogura all seem like safe bets

Then she was being lazy today lol. Shame. I like watching her play. Coming from my VF background as a Pai main, Xiaoyu has so many moves similar to Pai that I'm just naturally attracted to the character.
 
JC from Nintendo of America is on The Jump Off on evo5 right now. Sounds like they might be winding down though. He didn't give too many details about working with Disney, just saying it's great to get smash 4 on TV.
