Kuroda LOST! Now Ino is up. Will be interesting if he loses: so far MOV has played no games and is not really in a condition to play...

Edit: Apparently Ino lost as well, and MOV had to play. And despite having a broken hand, he won! Maybe the broken hand was all an act?

I bet Kuroda and Ino broke MOV's hand to make the other teams feel slightly less hopeless.

From SRK:

Just saw the presentation...

MOV had two fingers available! LOL

Good shit!


How do you even play top-level Chun Li with only 2 fingers?! Either your joystick grip is terrible, or you can't kara-throw...

Don't know the exact detail, but KO has never won an SBO. Most of the time, he advances far, despite being the only one of his team to win any matches (even though his teammates are top players). One of the most memorable ones is 2006, when KO took out 2/3 of J's team in the semifinals. Then J beat KO+Nuki+Boss (I think Nuki and Boss did not win any matches during that tournament).

It doesn't matter, Kuroda will OCV the entire tournament lineup. I called it (although I bet I wasn't the first and I won't be the last).

So apparently MOV's right hand (buttons hand) was broken, yet he was still doing kara-throws with only 2 fingers... o_Oa

Also, apparently Kuroda was on the verge of OCVing the last team, but missed a KKZ for chip damage!


Anyway, AH2 is gonna be played tonight, along with MBAC and GGAC.

List of qualified players.


My predictions for last chance quals:
(Links are to AH2 videos of the players, if available. Some of them are from Nico Video and/or are pretty old.)

* Ao (青, Elsa) - appeared in 0 qualifiers but won AH1 last year and beasts in AH2
* Danpu (だんぷ, Elsa) - appeared in 1 qualifier
* Alan White (白アラン, Saki) - appeared in 1 qualifier
* Caliber (カリバー, Heart) - appeared in 1 qualifier
* Kouya (こうや, Kamui) and Time Man (時人, Konoha) - appeared in 2 and 0 qualifiers, respectively
* decoy (Dorothy) - appeared in 3 qualifiers


My predictions for top 8:

* Tono (殿, Konoha) - because he was just so awesome in AH1.

* TOMO (Catherine) - because he's so good and Catherine is so good.

* Fujii (ふじい, Catherine) - ditto.

* Ma Chao (馬超, Yoriko) - because he was so good in AH1 when Yoriko sucked, and he is still a beast, and he is using perhaps the best character in the game.

* Pianist (ピヤニスト, Yoriko) - because he seems to be another great Yoriko, even though I've never seen him play.

* Mi (ミ or 三, Petra) - because even though Petra is mid/low tier, I think Mi has enough beast to make up for it. If his SBO-qualifying win wasn't enough to convince you, then watch how he used to combo with Fire Kira in AH1.

* Metal Slime (恵子横綱 aka メタルスライム, Kira) - because he has Character AND Arcana Love! Can this combined love overcome the problem of using a mid-tier character with a low-tier Arcana? I believe it can. :wgrin:

* Pashii (ぱしー, Fiona) - because he made Fiona work in AH1, and now she's mid-high tier. He was the best Fiona player in AH1, imo. Bonus AH2 video: Pashii raping another Fiona, AC響, who used to be a pretty good Fiona in AH1.

* Gen-chan (げんちゃん, Clarice) - because he's really good, from what I've seen.

* Alan White (白アラン, Saki) - if he makes it through last chance, then I can see him making it to top 8 as well.


My favourite to win the whole thing is Ma Chao (馬超, Yoriko).

Updated my list, adding Time Man to last chance and Gen-chan and Alan White to top 8. (Yes, I'm predicting that a guy who hasn't even qualified yet will make it to top 8. )

Also updated the TOMO video to a more recent one between him and Tanukichi.

I'm pretty confident there will be a Saki player in top 8, but of all the Sakis who qualified I've seen only Tanukichi's Saki, and while it was good, there are 3-week-old videos of Tanukichi playing Angelia rather than Saki! (E.g. see the aforementioned video vs TOMO.) No character love = no top 8. So I put in Alan White as my Saki for top 8.

I finally found a video of Zabieru (Love Saki) vs Arcana Heart HELL (Earth Kira), a sneaky but not hugely impressive Kira player. Zabieru looked pretty good, and I liked his use of the Love Laser, but I don't feel particularly-confident in him making top 8.

Post from Sextaro about the 3s finals:

wow crazy shit dude, kuroda chokes against K's chun in finals, ino beats the chun, and loses to chinta's ken [this ken ocv'd ko/nuki/rx]...MOV comes back from a 2-1 lead and wins against chinta's ken and saru's yun to win SBO as the anchor for team INO Japan....AND HE DID THIS WITH ONLY 2 FINGERS B/C APPARENTLY HE HAD A BIKE ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING AND HAD A CAST ON HIS RIGHT ARM THE ENTIRE TIME!!!!
