YEAHHHHH RYO IS INNN! "Hamza, you did a good job today and I want you to have this medal. Show it off to your friends and family when you arrive home, it was nice to meet you" *epic handshake* gotta love Blader Ken.

It is Sweden.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

-Anton Ego/Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

Wow, I got so many posts off of this thread, and all of my posts get beaten. Also, the lag seems to cool off.

Yes, the lag does seem to have died down.

Ima going for Ryo. He came from Japan to Toronto, how dedicated is that?

---

:djdisappointed:

And here we go, I too am guessing Ryo vs. Zakiah
And just as I post that Zakiah wins his first battle at stadium #2!

---

Aren't they supposed to be playing in Attack Stadiums now?

edit: Also, what? The dude with Gravity clearly just won the battle, but the judge called it a tie. :\

---

What about Dennis. And yes they should but this is more footage from the earlier round.

---

Looks like Ryo is going to the semi-finals.

How does Bakushin keep winning? LOL

---

"COME ON BAKUSHIN! YES, YES, YES, YEEEEEEES!"
Haha, this is hilarious.
AND WOW, THEY CALLED THE FIRST BATTLE A TIE
Dang, that kid was calm, cool, and collected, and that's why he deserved the victory that he got
While the other kid was freaking out like crazy and looks like he'll be throwing a tantrum in the car XD

---

Umm... Is this just me is the championship currently offline?

---

:djdisappointed:

I feel bad for the kid who just got knocked out: as everyone else was saying, he clearly won that first battle.

---

The kid who lost the last Quarter Final got angry XD.

Umm... Is this just me is the championship currently offline?

What? i thoguht that was previous footage but they should use attack stadiums.

---

Rightly so. The judge made the wrong call in their first battle.

---

I feel bad for the kid who just got knocked out: as everyone else was saying, he clearly won that first battle.

But in the end, he still would have lost 2-1
Dang, how was the kid from the Philippines (forgot his name) so calm, cool, and collected?
