Is there anyway I can watch the grand finals for TRB 2.3, cos none of their archive streams has it 

Unfortunately the final matches took place offscreen for the 2.3 tournament and it went unrecorded.  Starting on 2.4 David Kong has begun recording some high quality matches that occur off of the stream station.  His videos can be found here.

Looking forward to this.  I missed out on this and the UCI Ranbat last time.

This is such an interesting idea.  If this works out I'd love to see more KOF tournaments with this format.

Has anyone noticed any differences in timing between the Xbox and PS3 versions?

There is a tiny bit more lag from the PS3 version but the difference is almost negligible.  It's like this for Street Fighter and Marvel as well though.

I like the changes they made to Kim for console.  I think more people will pick him up as more tournament videos come out.
