Kuro Kuro Cup Archive + Knee's Character Ranking

Don't worry if you missed out on the Kuro Kuro Cup yesterday, I got it all archived on YouTube. For those wondering about the the players from Tokyo, (Nobi, Shana, Take & HinoP) they all had their flights cancelled due to the heavy snow weather so unfortunately they could not come and attend.
