----------

Momochi (Ken) [2 - 3] Michael Tan (Ken)
Momochi picks Ultra 2, Michael Tan picks Ultra 2. 1st round Momochi miss his ultra after avoid a light uppercut, Michael Tan has lot of random jump in get counter by Shoryuken. Final round Michael Tan won by leaving Momochi with last HP and keep on running away until time over.

Mago (Fei Long) [1 - 3] Fuudo (Fei Long)
Mago chase down Fuudo back dash with Ultra 1. 2nd match Mago failed to KO Fuudo with cheap damage of his 3rd hit of Rekka, Fuudo took the match with ultra. Fuudo picks training stage after won his 1st match. Mago miss an ultra in the final round. There's 3 rounds win by Time Over.

Bonchan (Sagat) [3 - 2] Uryo (C. Viper)
2nd round Uryo won with forward dash into Ultra 1 after two EX Seismic Hammer were blocked, but he lost the match. Overall a tough game for both players. Bonchan has better read and escape tactic on Viper vortex, he won final match after trading with Tiger Uppercut which links into ultra.

Sako (Ibuki) [3 - 1] Momochi (Ken)
Momochi plays very defensive because Sako has very good space control, giving minimum chance to Momochi. Final round Sako make a huge come back with final HP. Overall Sako use very little EX moves as he saved the bars for Super Combo.

Fuudo (Fei Long) [0 - 3] Michael Tan (Ken)
Amazing play by Michael Tan, he is in defense plan most of the time and counter Fuudo's attack a lot. Fuudo only managed to get one round from this game.

Dashio (Seth) [2 - 3] Daigo Umehara (Ryu)
Great read by Daigo at the beginning, lead the game by 2 - 0. Dashio made a huge adjustment can catch up to 2 - 2. Daigo dash forward a lot even with the last HP in the 4th match. Final match was all control by Daigo, he did 3X overhead in a row when locked Dashio in corner.

Fuudo (Fei Long) [2 - 3] Momochi (Ken)
Great come back by Fuudo in the 2nd round finished with Super Combo. Momochi fight back with very defensive game plan, he did a lot of jump back round house to avoid Rekka but unlike Michael Tan, herarely use EX Air Tatsu to escape the corner, he spend SC bar on EX Hadoken a lot.

Kazunoko (Yun) [1 - 3] Uryo (C. Viper)
Very aggressive play for both players, tons of random uppercut and yomi game. However Uryo has much better read overall although Kazunoko got 2 rounds perfect.

Wao (Oni) [3 - 0] Sako (Ibuki)
After the first match Sako is totally confused. Wao hits many random kicks and random throw easily except the last round was closed. Wao won 6 rounds straight.

Haitani (Makoto) [2 - 3] Momochi (Ken)
Most of the time Haitani has to initiate the attack while Momochi is just waiting for chance and some times hit and run game plan. Final round was closed, Haitani almost did his come back but he did not expect the final wake up uppercut that could KO him.

Fuudo (Fei Long) [1 - 3] Daigo Umehara (Ryu)
1st match final round was very closed, Fuudo stole it after surviving cheap damage from EX Hadoken. 4th match 1st round Daigo closed it with light kick on EX Chicken Wing! Fuudo dropped many Rekka combo even the first hit confirmed. Daigo lately did not rely on combo that much after dropping few Solar Plexus links, but then he play with many stylish moves that're not seen often such as random Tatsu, frame trap, focus attack after a jump in round house, and mostly worked well.
