A few months back I went to Tokyo Offline Party 4. Tokyo Offline Party 5 was this weekend, and I wanted to go, but was unable to due to family obligations.
What is Tokyo Offline Party? It is an event run by Buttonmashers and Shinobism, Momochi and Chocoblanka’s company. Tokyo Offline Party 5 had a 3 on3 Street Fighter V tournament, and might have had some other stuff going on as well – there was a Hearthstone tournament at Tokyo Offline Party 4.
Chocoblanka posted up a few pics on twitter, this one talking about how they partnered with Red Bull and were able to use Red Bull hall in Shibuya for the event. She seems to be pretty happy about how there was room for casual setups, and nice sofas to relax in. She also talks about a casual setup for ladies only which is a cool idea, and I think they ran a ladies only side tournament that she was in. I didn’t see results for it though.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to look through the results and talk a bit about who as there. The main stream was on momochoco’s channel, and the sub stream was on the shinobism channel.
The overall winner was “Wonder Project J” from block P with duke (Urien), Majorboy (Kolin), and ty_ty (Dictator). I’ll run down the winner of each block, and any other notable players I know.
Block A was won by the group “タイステ星” which I guess is short for Taito Station Stars, referencing an arcade. The group consists of Alienware’s Nemo (Urien), inco (Birdie), and Nishikin (Necali.)
Block B was won by “Power of Darkside” with Initial Kyousou (Laura), Mizuha (Chun-Li), and MOV (Chun-Li).
Block C was won by “Trashbonbi Style” with trashbox (Birdie), bonbi (Kolin), and Shiki (Ibuki).
Block D was won by “Mimorin’s Bodyguards” with Gafro (Boxer), Mishie (Laura), and Oremo (Ibuki).
Block E was won by “The Young’uns” with Nauman (Ken), John Takeuchi (Rasheed), and Haitani (Necali). Nauman was joking on Twitter that Haitani said he would totally join the young kids teams, and he did.
Block F was won by “GunMaruGuchi -Revenge-” with Gunfight (Alex), Marko (Karin), UGPs Mizuguchi (Urien).
Block G was won by “Ponpoime” with Ponzaman (Rasheed), oppoi (Ibuki), and Harumy (Ibuki).
Block H was won by “Melty Blood Army” with Menma (Akuma), Garu (Boxer), Surume (Necali).
Block I was won by “Detective N suppressors” (?) with DNG Tachikawa (Ibuki), Fumiya (Boxer), Kobatake (Claw).
Block J was won by “Super Big Brothers” with PSK (Cammy), Kichipa-mu (Zangief), and Macchi (Cammy). Kichipa-mu is a really fun Zangief – he was at the recent KVO x TSB SFV team battle and got second place, largely based on his Zangief play.
Block K was won by “This players had been deleted.” with Syogepi- (Ibuki), Tyler (Zangief), Deletemonster (Karin). This pool also had Crusher (Birdie)’s team with Nanai (Dicator) who are both quite good, and apparently a team with Echo Fox CoolGrayAJ.
Block L was won by “LP Fraud” with rintaro (Chun-Li), Takaroom (Karin), and sasajima (Rasheed). This block also had Shinobism’s team of Momochi’s pupils, Yamaguchi (Ken), Haku (Guile), and Johnny (Karin) who lost out early on.
Block M was won by “Blue League PR Dept.” (?) with Deo (Laura), Agomi (Birdie), Azmx (Urien).
Block N was won by “These characters were balanced by kindergartners” with Kindevu (Urien), Vanauo (Boxer), Ando (Urien). There was a team with Reiketsu playing Cammy, so maybe not the well-known Claw Reiketsu.
Block O was won by “Pon chichi’s” with Ponchi’s (Claw), Bower (Kolin), and rinta (Akuma).
Block P was won by “Wonder Project J” with duke (Urien), Majorboy (Kolin), and ty_ty (Dictator). This pool also had a team with GameWith’s Eita (Ken) but they didn’t make it.
