Note #1 - Yamagata Qualifier (Feb-25-2012) - had no representative. The E2 Slot was given to the second place finisher (Pacha (AO)) from the appointed day qualifier.

Note #2 - Okinawa Qualifier Representative - Niia (EI) - could not participate in the event. His H7 Slot was given to the third place finisher (Ekimae (AO)) from the appointed day qualifier.

Note #3 - Pre-KS Winner Kurobo~ (LA) could not participate in the event. His D1 Slot was give to the fourth place finisher (ChinpanJ (JA)) from the appointed day qualifier.

Note: There are most likely mistakes from the Japanese translations

 

In VFTV Live Episode 8 - They went over the KSVI bracket and later posted it in their website. Translated version of the bracket posted in the first post. Non-italics are the players' names and italics is a spot still undetermined.

 

Updates made to the Topic Post:

Pre-KS Tournaments - Last month's Pre-KS Tournament footage from Toyko and Miyagi are now available to watch! I think there must be a month delay to events in which Asapon is present.

Battle Audition - All the normal Battle Audition 4th season tournaments are over. What remains is the Final Battle Audition tournament in February. This will have all the current Star Players (13) plus the Star Player Cadets (the 8 BA-4th season winners) play amongst each other to determine the next roster of Star Players (their names/profile in the game will be displayed as yellow or gold). In addition, the top 3 ranked players in the Final Battle Audition tournament will get a spot in the KSVI tournament. Tomarion (KSV champion) and Kakurikon (Pre-KS Tokyo champion) have spots guaranteed in the KSVI tournament already. The actual format of FBA is unclear. I assume a round robin format with all 21 players. The past FBA had two round robins - one amongst the current star players. The second one is between the star players (minus the top 3 from the first round robin) and the star player cadets.

Preliminary Qualifiers - starts in January 14th, 2011. Updated post listing all the times they will start. At the moment, whether any of these tournaments will be stream is unclear.

 

First post - updated with the winners of the KSVI qualifying tournaments from this past weekend. 64-player bracket also updated.

So in the first round of KSVI, some of the players already know who they will have to face.

In the first round,

Yawatasuutaa (AK) vs Tomarion (LI) in the A Block
Chibita (LI) vs Kejiko (GO) in the D Block
Tane (AK) vs Rodeo (AK) in the F Block
Puuta (JN) vs Yogo Kage (KA) in the H Block.

Next week, we will have 5 more players qualifying for the final tournament.

Final Battle Audition - 4th Season Information -
There are some changes to the format compared to the Final Battle Audition - 3rd Season

The event will start with the Trial League. The eight 4th Season Battle Audition tournament winners plus the 闘士åå‚‘ (toushi juu ketsu...The Ten Great Fighters) will be divided into two 9-player blocks. The 三闘士 (san toushi...The Three Champions) does not participate in this event (they are Tomarion, Fuudo, and Fullswing). This will determine the new Star Player Roster. After the Trial League comes the Star Player League which will determine the new 三闘士 (san toushi) and also determines who will participate in KSVI finals.

Final Battle Audition News - Fuudo (#2 rank Star Player) will not be participating in the Event. Due to the format of FBA, The "Three Champions" (San Toushi) from last Season are guaranteed their Star Player status. Because Fuudo will not be able to participate in the Star Player League (to determine new ranks) - he will automatically lose his San Toushi status and received the "10 Great Fighters" (Toushi Juu Ketsu) special rank status instead. At this moment, exact time/stream information are still not available.

VF.TV Live Episode 15 - February 10, 2012 3 PM JST. If you have time, the episode will likely show final matches of the Feb. 4-5 qualifier tournaments. If you do not have time, they will most likely within a week post it on youtube.

 

Final Battle Audition News - Like last year, a short video preview introducing players that will be competing in the event on Feb. 18

Kakutou Shinseiki VI Main Event Info - Saturday, March 17th - Tentative Scehdule, subject to change (in Japan Time - JST)
9:00AM Qualifying Tournament (to fill in the 3 remaining spots and reserves for any last minute player cancellations)
1:00PM National Finals Tournament!

Guest Hosts at the tournament -
Asapon - Pop Star and VF hostess

Kyasao, Bunbunmaru, and Shinjuku Jacky: three of the original Tetsujins (Iron Man or Strong Man)

This will be streamed on both Ustream (Likely VF TV Live ) and also Nico Nico Live.

Edit: It appears there will be a plan Blu-Ray and/or DVD release (unsure if I translated the info correctly).

I am planning to be staying up to watch this. For those that are planning to watch it - any suggestions on making it easier for (non-Japanese literate people) to view it? As tourney is progressing, I was planning on periodically update bracket in the news topic thread (will make one beginning of next week). The other thing I plan on doing is typing what matches are currently up and playing in the shoutbox (similar to what I did with the 3rd Shinsei Cup). Updates on tourney on Twitter?

 

Yeah, after many months keeping track of everything, a great stream to conclude the event . I will tidy this thread a little bit more and off to do something else.

 

6+ hours of youtube video of the KSVI event

Embedded is the main stream.
