-Fighter’s Crossover- Akihabara is a weekly gathering, usually on Wednesday, at Akihabara’s E-sports Square for Street Fighter V players. It is organized by Kagechhi, and this weekend he ran two tournaments celebrating having held 100 of these locals.

While most people are watching Canada Cup, I thought it would be fun to write up a little about this more local street fighter action.

First, an overall summary of what happened. On Saturday, Kagecchi ran a 2-2 team tournament. There were 48 teams for a total of 96 people. It was a single elimination tournament, Waseda-style, 6 pools. Winner of each pool goes to the top 8, with two more teams coming from a playoff between the remaining 42 teams. The overall winner was the “Million God” team of Kin-devu’s Zeku and Suiha’s Chun-Li.

If you want to check out all the teams check Kagecchi’s blog post.
This highlight from team Power Harrassment and the 3rd Generation E-sports brothers is pretty cool (<1 minute.) You can watch the entire 6 hour team tournament here.

I’ll call our a few teams I thought were interesting.

UltimateJohn: Vanau (Boxer) and Takeuchi John (Rashid) lost in round 2 of pool 2.
The “Anti-Nauman team” had Fumity (Akuma) and Anman (Urien) come out of Pool 1.
Pool 5 had “Team Guilty” with Yossan (Juri) and Machbo (Necali) lose out in round 2 to pool winner “Power Harrassment” Noguchi (Guile) and Nanai (Dictator).
Pool 6 had team “All 1 Ed” with DNG Tachikawa (Ed) and tool (Ed).
It also had team “New Skills” with Kichi pa-mu (Zangief) and EmuEmu (Zangief).
