Any sort of announcement?

[Shiranui_ninja]

From MMcafe Professor refering to Tougeki:

best 4
ho kun xian (singapore)-- k', takuma, liz
cabbage-- k', kula, andy
gian-- k', iori, mai
oeppu-- k', raiden, mature

finals taking place soon, show running late


update-
semis: gian won (vs xian), oeppu won (vs cabbage)
finals: oeppu won(vs gian)

There was Mai in the finals! :O

[Gorehound]

Did that Mai put up a good match?

I swear everytime I see high-play vids and someone picks Mai, they end up getting destroyed fast.

I want to see some awesome strategies with her.

[Shiranui_ninja]

Considering she has arrived to the finals we have to assume that the player is good.... but maybe he picks up her as first character just to build up meter bars... Let's hope some videos appear sooner or later.

[THE ANSWER]

I'll have the vids up in a few mins


EDIT: Vids are up

[The Ed]

Yea.  You get a good look at some good Mai in the first SF, only to see her get utterly violated by Radien in the GF. 

I'm really learning to hate that fat bastard and his double-dropkick bullshit.

Many thanx to The Answer for the vids BTW.  At least the notion that Mai is weaksauce has been more-or-less debunked.  If a guy using Mai as his 2nd can get to a Major GF with her, she's certianly not bottom tier.

[venusandeve]

imho, there's no real bottom tier to anyone reaching a final.

[TornAparT]

I really don't get how people are saying that Raiden's dropkicks are not OP =/.

[THE ANSWER]

I've added a new tier to the list, I'm pretty sure some of you will agree with me.

We are having another AI tourney in a few weeks, there's been an "UNOFFICIAL" soft banned on Raiden for the next tourney. I'm pretty excited on the outcome of this, I'm pretty sure will see different results and maybe even some upsets.

[4leaf]

Do I get an unofficial auto disqualification if I random Raiden? I'm gonna run with 2 randoms in the tourney haha.

That would be lame if you guys soft ban Raiden.

[4leaf]

No arguments here if anyone picks Raiden on me, or even do infinites. Bring it on, I say.
