Namco Sugamo 12/3 Ranking Battles Feat. Mr Naps, JDCR & Saint!

Oh so that's what the Tekken official page meant by having 'world champions' coming in to compete for the exhibition tournament this Sunday for the 20th anniversary. Previous Global Championship's 2013 competitors Saint and JDCR from Korea and Jimmy/Mr Naps from the US are currently in Japan and played in yesterday's Ranking Battles in Namco Sugamo! You can watch how these international competitors fare up against the locals at Namco Sugamo thanks to the Sugamo niconico stream. The Ranking Battle was also followed up with a Saint VS Take deathmatch afterwards but it wasn't all completely streamed unfortunately. (The result of the deathmatch if you're curious.) Enjoy the archives which I now have up on my YouTube.

I believe there's still a Gen vs Nobi episode coming up soon so expect to see that in the near future. Nobi vs Help Me videos are courtesy of the Tokyo MX YouTube channel.

E-Sports MAX TEKKEN Showdown Featuring Nobi, Yuu & Tekken Bancho

E-Sports MAX is a TV show currently airing in Japan through the Tokyo MX channel that covers e-sports in Japan. Over the past few months of broadcasting, there's been a few episodes which had included coverage of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 with Nobi, Yuu & Tekken Bancho participating in the show by playing matches as well as having Hameko in to do commentary. This all aired on Japanese TV before but for most of us who probably can't watch it, the Tokyo MX channel finally got to uploading the archives of these matches onto their YouTube channel. Tokyo MX's E-Sports MAX show can be caught on TV at Friday 6:30 PM.

TEKKEN 7 - Arcade Introduction Trailer & 2nd Location Test Revealed!

Fresh off the twitters, Bandai Namco has uploaded a new introduction trailer for the arcade release of Tekken 7 but if you've already been closely following the news there's not much new in it. It does provide a good direct feed look at the game which may or may not have further graphical improvements down the line. Additionally, the official Tekken website updated with details on the next round of location testing in Japan from the 22nd of November to the 23rd of November this year. No word on a stream for those location tests but it's likely we'll see a newer build of the game through cell phone vids from the players at the arcades.
