Double Cup MASTERCUP W1 CLIMAX2014 Niconico Archive

For those that missed out on watching the recent Double Cup tournament in Japan will be pleased to know that all 9 and a half hours of Tekken from the tournament's niconico stream is now live for everyone to watch on my YouTube channel. This will no doubt be of great use to those that wanted to watch the tournament but couldn't because of niconico kicking everyone out for not being a premium member. Video quality is typical niconico quality (640x360) but you can later catch the official YouTube archives of the matches in this tournament with better video quality through the Mastercup Youtube channel when it eventually uploads them. Top 8 of the event starts at around the 7 hour mark with the grand finals at the 9 hour and 15 minute mark. Enjoy.

All roads lead to EVO. Evolution 2014 will be commencing over the course of this weekend and thanks to the efforts of MarkMan and Bandai Namco Games, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is being included into the event and will have an added $5,000 pot bonus to the prize. The TTT2 tournament at Evo is scheduled for the entirety of Friday this week but there will be a lot more to come in terms of Tekken action with the Tekken Casino. Among that, there's also side tournaments for Soul Calibur 2 HDO and Soul Calibur 5 happening on the Mad Catz stream and will surely be great to watch. Be sure to tune in if you can't make it to EVO 2014 this year. For competitors at the event, be sure to grab your free Devil Asuka shirt!
