TTT2 - Namco Sugamo Cup YouTube Archives

The Namco Sugamo Cup event from this past weekend is over and I finally put up the archives from the niconico streams up on my YouTube channel. There's a lot of Japanese Tekken footage here which includes players like Nobi, Zeugaru, Take, Fukushi, Yuu and a whole lot more. If you missed watching the event live on niconico, you can catch up with these embeds. If you want to see the results for the exhibition matches or the big 3on3 tournament, be sure to check out the coverage thread on TZ made by Lizanias.

Norcal StrongStyle~5 Live Bracket Making Archive

For those who missed it, the Twitch archives of the creation of the pools for the upcoming Norcal StrongStyle tournament this month are available now for viewing. Watch Bronson Tran and subt-L rig the brackets and talk shit about most of the players entered. There's no quality options for the twitch archives so if you are like me and have really bad internet, you'll probably be stuck buffering the videos until there's a YouTube archive or something. You can have a look at the google docs of the brackets though below. For further updates on the tournament, be sure to follow their twitter account. (@NorcalSS)
