KOIFT 2016 Tokyo Round Qualifier Streamed Live on November 26

The last open qualifier for the King Of Iron Fist Tournament 2016 is on this Saturday in Japan and we have international guests Rip & Tasty Steve over there in person to perform commentary for the English stream. Bandai Namco's Tokyo offices will be the place where many of Japan's notable players will come together to try to get themselves a ticket to the Grand Finals and some of that big tournament prize money. Just like the Osaka Qualifier, there are 3 divisions for the event which consist of a Female group, a Students group and another group that's open to everyone. Top 2 players from the Female division & the Students division will earn the qualifying spot while Top 3 from the Anyone division will make their way to qualify. The Tokyo Round qualifier is set to start at 10:00 AM Japan time on November 26 so for viewers in USA, that's November 25 at 5:00 PM PST. You can tune into the event over on the TEKKEN Twitch channel:
