Kansai Saikyou Ketteisen 3 for Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code concluded last weekend at everyone’s favorite Kansai arcade, a-cho!  They have generously released the videos just 3 days after the event.  Footage includes the very beginning of the tournament through the preliminary matches all the way to the grand finals, adding up to 4 hours worth of video!  This tournament featured all of the winners from the previous 3on3s of the past few months, so competition was fierce.  Of special note is the Kanto team of Hato/Bubu/Niiya who made a surprise appearance.  They got pretty far into the tournament too, finishing at 3rd place.

I also want to mention that this will be an especially interesting weekend for “anime” fighting game players.  The finals for Blazblue Revolution are set to happen on 3/24 11:oo Japan time, which is Friday 7PM Pacific on our side of the world.  Unfortunately the event is pay-per-view, meaning you need to spend money to obtain nico points to watch the stream.  But maybe someone will restream it.  I don’t even like Blazblue, but BBRevo is definitely worth a note as it sets a new record for the highest paying fighting game tournament in Japanese history, with 1st place getting 1 million yen!

The MBAACC Kanto Saikyou Ketteisen SP finals will also be taking place at Takadanobaba Mikado on the same day, 3/24 13:30 Japan time, which is Friday 9:30PM Pacific.  Featuring all of the winners from the previous 3on3s of the past few months, this will definitely be a great display of the Kanto region’s finest in Melty.  Unlike BBRevo, this stream is free to watch, so I’m pretty excited for it.
