At least Tekkaman beats up on goofy aliens with his space lance instead of flat out pulling off 1st degree murders on people.

Wow way to totally dismiss D Boy's emotional involvement in all of that. Wow.
Braver's Revel 2016, the national event for BlazBlue, is wrapping up their qualifiers and some character data in regards to participation and character frequency per region.
I'll update the list with the team names and participants of each team eventually since I'm busy the rest of the day.
Will update on the coming days of the final tournament. Finals will be taking place April 23 @ 13:00. Stream will be posted soon.
Why is this important? Because Japanese players are not only from Tokyo and don't always come to America. There are plenty of top level and high level players throughout Japan that many of you may not know.
I hope this is helpful, share to those interested in BlazBlue if Western players want to get better and know more.

Teams/Players to watch out for:
Tennti/Kinji: A young and upcoming team whom have started playing very recently. My favorite to win and I have a bias for personal reasons. They work for a sake brewery and they are top ranked in their respective characters. The nation's strongest Izayoi with one of the strongest Carls.
Poropicchi/Q: Very strong Hakumen and Nine players. Don't underestimate them, understand the game very well and are able to pull off upsets. Dark horse to win Bravers Revel with matchups.
Ikemen/take: MAXIM HERO regulars well known in the region and competitors at the MAXIM HERO danisen, consistently top and one of the best in Hokkaido. Hometown representatives. Don't sleep on this team.
Tetsuwo/Isa: This team also needs no introduction or explanation. Tetsuwo Rachel gives players nightmares and with how strong Carl is in BBCF they are one of the teams to beat. Good luck to who matches with them first.
Fenritti/Iwashi: Best Jin in the nation and a very strong Ragna from Kansai. They are each other prefer team mates at Athena Nihonbashi Oosaka and other game center. Fenritti results in the past have beaten very many of the best players consecutively. 2v2 and matchup seeding makes it very interesting.
Dogura/Minami: No need to explain or introduce.

Lately, I've only really been dedicating time into three fighting games:
Killer Instinct S3: I'm playing Thunder, Kim Wu and Aganos mainly, but I honestly play about four other characters on the side. I find KI to be very simple, because the motions are the simplest in 2D fighters, and the combo system is pretty much universal to every character in the game. Anyway, I play Thunder because he's a grappler with crazy resets. I play Kim Wu because she's got good grounded and aerial normals, and she has crazy burst damage. I play Aganos because he's the biggest body with crazy armor, big damage and BIG FAT NORMALS.
Street Fighter V: I'm only playing Birdie. No other character has really grabbed me so far. I might play Alex, but I wasn't blown away by him when I first played him. I just love Birdie because he's so simple yet very effective; BIG FAT NORMALS, godlike anti-air, good space control, simple combos and great V-Trigger. Maybe I'll latch onto one of the other five DLCs, but so far it's all Birdie all day.
Mortal Kombat XL: I'm playing Ferra/Torr(Vicious variation) and Leatherface(Killer variation). Ferra/Torr is my favorite of MKX's big bodies because they've got BIG FAT NORMALS, pretty good space control, and big damage for little input. F/T is also a very effective anti-zoner, which I like. I play Leatherface because he's stupidly simple. He has no combo strings involving kicks, only punches, which makes his moveset very small. He's pretty safe on most of his moves and strings, and he also does big damage with simple combos. He recently got nerfed like all the DLCs did, but his nerfs didn't kill him.
I have played and do play a lot more fighters than this, but those three are the only ones keeping me occupied right now. I'm waiting for KOF XIV and Tekken 7 FR to get release dates announced. GG Revelator isn't setting my world on fire, and neither is Pokken, but I'll probably get Pokken when it goes down in price. Blazblue CF is on my radar, but I'm not following it too closely right now.

SF5
Laura because B O N I T A B O Y S (I like her set ups)
Alex because he's professor savage
Ryu because I like to win
GGXrd Rev
Sol because I'm learning the game
3Rd Strike
Urien because he's still my favorite fighting game character
TTT2
Bryan Fury because of snake edge and Miguel because he's another savage
SFV:
Chun main, I've always played Chun, maybe it's having great normals, but I never put much thought into "why Chun". :3
Also been playing Alex a lot lately, it must be watching opponents stun and health gauges disappear so quickly one you get his thing going.
GGXrd
I-No: the character is awesome, the struggle in neutral and the dominance once you start her oki game feels so good. She also have some really fun combos, especially in the corner.
Planning to play Jack-O for a bit, but only to know how to fight her.

Well, you can kind of figure when a dude shows up screaming and with an arrow pointing at his junk that someone's about to get fucked.
*ba dum TISH!*
I saw the one with the eye poke and neck break but not the others. Polimar is such a brutal fuck. Kinda a shame as I liked playing him.
Pokken: I've been playing mostly with Gengar. Maybe there's a bit of nostalgia to do with the decision but I'm sure that alone didn't do it or I would have picked Mewtwo. He's a challenging character to play with a lot of gimmicks and options which attracted me in a game where most characters are relatively straight forward and easier to play. Plus I love that in Mega form he's basically an entirety different character with his own set of strengths and drawbacks instead of being a super version of his normal form like most other characters. Plus all that wailing and screaming is so cute 😳
Street Fighter V:I'm playing it less now but still doing so. So far I've stuck with Vega. Played him a bit in past games but right now he feels like the member of the cast that fits me best. I like his range and good speed, plus again some nice gimmicks with the claw switching and FBA, the former I need to learn to use more while the later to restrain from.
Killer Instinct: I'm still not 100% sure of who I want to play with, though Shadow Jago is in the lead. His quick teleporting rushdown style is a joy to play, and I love his surge system. Next is Spinal, managing skulls is a lot of fun and he has pretty good reach and strike options. Others I'm interested in are Riptor, Sadira, TJ Combo, Hisako and Fulgore, but this list isn't final.
Super Smash Bros: This is where I spend most of my time. I cycle through so many characters here so I can't tell you who or why I play them, though the most frequently picked are Mewtwo, Ganondorf, Jigglypuff, Ness, Cloud, and Donkey Kong.
Street Fighter V: Once I made it to Gold with my Karin I switched over to Casual matches with Alex. I'm not a fan of grapplers or charge characters, typically, but he's a lot of fun.
Guilty Gear Xrd: I play Slayer as I'm a big fan of mix-up heavy characters and a little Faust because I enjoy gigantic freaks. I'm interested in Kum Haehyun, as well.
Super Smash Bros: I'll include this as a friend came over that I played Melee with for years this weekend. I mostly play Mac because I tend to gravitate to any boxer in a fighting game and a little Ryu. Playing a lag free one-on-one match was a lot of fun, more than I anticipated.

Street Fighter V - I play as Karin as I enjoy playing footsies and the execution of her combos. Have been throwing Ryu into the mix lately for a bit of variety. That said I don't boot up the game as regularly as I used to. All the issues the game has just add up and leave a bitter taste in my mouth.
Blazblue CPEX - Picked it up when it released on PC and have been playing it a bunch. I liked playing Tsubaki the most in CSE so I mainly stuck with her for this game as well. Have come to like Azrael lately and will probably put some work into him.
Looking forward to picking up Melty next week and with the 2nd Encore DLC coming up on PC I will probably play some Skullgirls again.

Over the weekend, Justin and KBrad won some CPT ranking points @ a Brazilian event. I wonder how much CPT tourism we'll see this season. In the tournament thread folks were hypothesizing that SoCal FGC might go to Japanowa CPT ranking event in Tijuana Mexico since it's closer than Nor Cal or Evo for those folks.

SFV: I've been focusing on Dhalsim since release, though lately I've started to work on my alt, Karin. I haven't been practicing as often with XrdR demo and FEFates eating my time, but I have strong players in my area so it kind of makes up for it.
XrdR: Mainly Axl/I-no still, but I'm messing around with Jack-O and Jam. I probably won't end up using Jack-O and Jam's always been fun for me to use on the side so I think I'll stick with her casually.
I think when KoFXIV releases I may have to drop SFV entirely.

Is that Team Secret just getting into the FGC game or do they have anyone else?
I know them as a Dota sponsor mainly.

well from what I heard in the dota scene. Team Secret hasn't paid their dota players or there was some drama w/ that so idk how itll work out w/ poongko
I know im gonna see you at combobreaker right
Only know them from Dota as well and ...
... this has me concerned as well.
Hope it works out for Poongko though.

Hadn't heard about the Team Secret controversy since I've been out of the Dota loop for almost a year. Hopefully that all gets sorted and Poongko gets his due.
call_kotaku

As far as I understand it, most DOTA events don't pay out the winners until sometimes months after the tournament, except Valve who pays directly to players almost immediately. Team Secret's DOTA team shuffled their roster a couple of times and a lot of players were never paid their tournament winnings after they left the team, plus there was a manager who was promised a cut but never paid for like a dozen events.
I think Poongko's fine for tournament winnings, but he should be careful about paying for anything himself and expecting the team to reimburse it.

Sponsorships, and i think some take a percentage of winnings. Don't think EG does. Also they do sell merchandise and stuff

Sponsors. The shirts the teams wear are atrocious but they gotta get that HYPER X money.
I was just making a joke about Valve "doing something". But I don't believe Valve would have anything to do with it anyway unless it was specific winnings from one of their majors.

also I heard team secret is run by cyborgmatt and I hear no one likes him

EG and Liquid have extensive sponsorship deals, plus EG is owned by Twitch/Amazon. Secret is (probably) financed by the son of a rich guy in Turkey, and a lot of the Chinese DOTA teams are just pet projects for the sons of rich billionaires.
Neogaf's own cyborgmatt is the manager for Team Secret, yes.
