just for some ppl who's curious about aftermath...
i jus talked to nin. he came back from arcade in the morning...
his impression about japanese players is
'pretty solid, especially mainstreetryu, and taizo(feng). i dont know why they couldnt win tourney...'
also his comment about team korea(they let qudans and leedy play a lot cuz they are coming back to korea today):
leedy wasnt hot as much as when he was pllaying in korea, but Qudans did hella good.
he got 'black tekkenlord' rank-prolly final rank, he demoted mainstreetryu, taizo, mishimaster and so on' he thinks that zekusu's mishima couldnt match up with qudans at all..
also knee was killing almost everybody overthere...
that's what i heard from nin. i dont know how japanese think about korean players. anyway they lost on main tourney. nin was talking about some stick excuse. but also he admitted that they lost anyway. also nin said this travel could be their(nin, holeman, knee, qudans, and leedy) last travel, so we prolly not gonna see these koreans vs foriegn players anymore.
tonight freestyle gonna play a lot... if i have chance to talk to him again, i'll update.
wes da korean big brother

a bit of aftermath updates:
just talked to Mister.
he said all the korean players except the hwoarang player were very solid.
but looking at the top, his opinion wise, he sees it like this:
Knee and Qudans > Nin and Leedy > Holeman
He said Knee and Qudans were doing very well vs everybody, but Mainstreet Ryu's Anna was giving Knee problems or something.
And Nin didnt play as much as the others, because he was concentrating more on trying to make the top players play each other.

Talked to 200won and Nin.
They were obviously very mad at themselves since
they played pretty awful in the tournament.
Qudans, leedy, 200won was the first ones to play
against japs after the tourney.
Qudans as everybody know became Tekken Lord (Black)
and has beaten every top players.
Leedy on the other hand wasn't playing well.
200won did pretty good he almost became tekken lord (black)
as well but lost promotion chance.
They went back the next day.
Knee started off at Sage or so and went upto Tekken Lord.
I believe there are no more Tekken lords in japan now.
Nin didn't get to play as much, famous people were avoiding
him after a couple of games. He did get to play
a lot with the other 2 top steve players in japan Jiro and KO.
He told me that their play was more focused on 100% setting
and that they didn't know what ducking cancel techniques were.
He beat them both as well. Nin was most impressed with Taizo's
Feng and said "he had the best knowledge on tekken DR system".
Also he was impressed with Asano's lei.
Holeman didn't play much as well as Narak.
Lee Mario aka Nengmyun went upto Ryuo or so (Dragon Lord) with
his roger.
I hear they will be lots of movies soon.
