      Not really in the whole world now is it?

      Although, that person probably would be the best in the world.

      You know... Janapn is the VF world. Rest of the "real" world is here just because of the comercial purposes, to gain more money from this game. Authors says it - only in another words - in nearly all interviews.

      I would think anyone is allowed to attempt to qualify, so surely then it is world.

      Now that's a lot of qualifiers... o_0 Btw Srider, last stage is 48 players? Seems weird for the usual Japanese tournament format... It also seems like Sega decided to award a ton of special ranks for 1st stage winners, area winners and national winner... That's cool I guess. /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

      There are a -lot- of qualifiers... For Otenami Haiken there was only one qualifier in this area at Fukui City's Sega Arena...

      For this tournament there are multiple qualifiers not only in Fukui but also in Ishikawa Prefecture (where I live)... Most of them are on different days so Namflow and I will have a few different chances to qualify /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

      It was 48 people for that FT tourney Sega had. I think it was OH4?

      It had Chibita, Homestay and Edo in a weird playoff system or something.

      GLC:

      Yeah, previous KS tounaments are all 48 entries.

      This is because certain areas have multiple representatives, 1 being the winner of the area tournaments, 2nd being the runner-ups. They are seeded in the national tournament with that in mind.

      Also remember qualifying in this first stage does not get you a spot in the national tournament, but rather a spot in the area specific tournaments.
