Koei Techmo: D- (I guess Tamaki going to arcades is cool but I can care less about core fighters and the other stuff. Needed DOA 6U, an announcement about continued support, DOA 7, even if it was DOA x VF. I knew it would be that but still...)

SNK: C+ (A new character's always good. I personally don't know the lore much but it compels me to find out. Season 3's interesting. Hopefully they don't follow the trend of the other season 3's. I wish for KOF announcements but understandable. Something will come up. Hopefully it'll be hype.)

Capcom: C+ (A 2 week demo's interesting for those who are still thinking of pulling the trigger. Don't care for the discount though. A league only for Japan's both cool & disappointing. Wish US had a league too. And Pro Tour's alright I guess but they'll have to work that online stuff. The last event I heard had some stuff. Announcements in the near future though.)

Bandai Namco: C+ (Not hyped for Setsuka. Still no HWANG or YUN SEONG but a new character's always interesting nonetheless. Customizations cool. I expected Season 4 so I'm not shocked. However, the online upgrades especially the wifi thing, that's clutch. Character balances look all over the place, Hwo now has a hopkick, Julia w/ tracking, etc. And the new character looking like Kuni. Not bad.

Tekken & SC VI tourneys as well but is it for PS4, PC, both and will there be crossplay. Lastly, DBFZ in the future.)

ASW: B- (GranBlue next week. Japan got all the tourneys while US mainly got BBTag & GranBlue. Kinda mixed feelings but at the same time, it dwindles my focus now. GG going to PS5 and the characters are interesting, despite the name of one of them as people are now I guess taking it and running w/ it.)

Lastly, I'll say nothing about Arika as I didn't hear much (Couldn't hear), but I'll look into Fighting EX Layer more. The overall conference was tbh a C+ to a B. The discussion, I barely heard anything and the announcements outside of Bandai & ASW, didn't really get me much hyped. Still wondering about C Viper & who'll be in SFV final season, KOF XV, future of Capcom, KT, & such w/ DOA, MARVEL, etc.
