The 3on3 MASTERCUP tournament which was initially announced to be capped at 42 teams but later expanded to 56 teams will be underway in Namco's Hakata Bus Terminal arcade. Given where this tournament is hosted, you can expect to see a lot of players from Fukuoka, Japan as well as the common pros that regularly enter these tournaments like Nobi, Help Me, Take, Nisshin, Matador, Burimaru, Tissuemon and more. The event is being streamed through Namco's official niconico channel so be sure to tune in for some Tekken if you can.

"Abare Story" Part 1 - Help Me

"Abare Story" is a new series of written columns on Help Me's Tekken Mura website where he goes into details about any experiences with Tekken. The first part of this series stars the site's owner Help Me and reads as If he was .... Interviewing himself. It gets a little sappy in some part but it's worth a good read since it discusses several topics like his origin, trips to Japan, thoughts on the game and more. Since it was all in Japanese, I went ahead and translated it to English for everyone here.

Arcadia Fighting Game REMIX 4/18 Issue Tier List

Arcadia's lastest edition of it's dedicated fighting game Magazine (or Mook I should rather say) is mainly focused on the recent release of Ultra Street Fighter IV but it does have some interesting discussion on Tekken Tag Tournament 2 in there. It features written reports of both MASTERCUP.6 and Matador Cup 5 tournaments as well as a TTT2 tier list made by Japan's Fukushi and Furumizu and a small author introductory piece by Zeugaru on using Ogre's 'concealing moves.' Since only the tier list got posted online onto 2ch for the Japanese to read, I've gone ahead and translated it into English for everyone else to read. You can check it out below!
