Finished

Momochi (Cody) 1 - 3 RF (Sagat)
Most of the time RF just throwing fireball, Momochi had hard time to attack. Momochi only gain more control when they close in. RF won the last match but was very close.

Tokido (Akuma) 3 - 2 Bonchan (Sagat)
Tokido didn't hesitate to spending his mirrors, he used EX moves and FADC a lot. 2nd match he taunted Bonchan when he is dizzy, but Bonchan won that match. Later on was more about yomi game, Tokido's space judging caused him lost some rounds, but he managed to come back. Final match was all about Akuma vortex, last round Tokido taunted Bonchan again when he got dizzy and then claimed the match with Ultra 1.

Mago (Fei Long) 3 - 2 Kindevu (Cammy)
Very aggressive fight at the beginning, just like gambling the game. But Mago riskily raise uppercut several times that caused him lost some rounds earlier. Lately Mago managed to hit uppercut more accurately, however Kindevu miss many combo. Mago successfully made a come back from 0-2.

Sako (Ibuki) 3 - 0 RF (Sagat)
RF having a tough fight, Sako's Ibuki mix up trick is almost flawless and his reaction is very good. RF had no choice other than just blocking most of the times. Sako got an easy victory.

Tokido (Akuma) 1 - 3 Momochi (Cody)
A defensive match. Tokido escape with teleport a lot, and he did random Ultra 1 several times, but Momochi able to evade most of them. Tokido missed few combo which may have chances to turn back the match.

Mago (Fei Long) 1 - 3 Haitani (Makoto)
Mago began with many random Rekkaken rush down. Haitani defensive strategy lost to Mago 1st match, he then switch to aggressive strategy and managed to overcome Mago.

Uryo (Sakura) 3 - 1 Kazunoko (Seth)
Uryo has better yomi game here, but his mistake allowed Kazunoko got the first match. Uryo be a lot more careful start from 2nd match, he then got 3 matches straight win over Kazunoko. Kazunoko seems a bit scary in the last match because he keep running most of the time.

Tokido (Akuma) 1 - 3 Kazunoko (Seth)
Kazunoko random hit and run style force down Tokido chase after him, Kazunoko sneak attack and caught Tokido's mistake over and over. Although Tokido played well but not as good as Kazunoko.

Daigo Umehara (Ryu) 3 - 1 Uryo (Sakura)
At the beginning mostly was Uryo attack, Daigo defend. It's difficult to break in Daigo's range, although Uryo hardly did it, but Daigo's reaction not easily let him get the victory. 2nd match Daigo became a bit aggressive, finally an Umeshoryu FADC Ultra has shown once. It's tough fight but Daigo still able to get 3 matches straight after losing his 1st match.

Kazunoko (Seth) 3 - 0 Sako (Ibuki)
1st round Sako dash in and Ultra when Kazunoko throw a Sonic Boom, brilliant! Kazunoko played quite patience, his hit and run style only break in from Sako's mistake, and most of the times Sako unable to escape from his mix up.

Tokido (Akuma) 0 - 3 Daigo Umehara (Ryu)
Daigo read Tokido's move quite accurate, he can overcome the Akuma's vortex and even no chance giving to Tokido start his mix up. An easy win for Daigo.
