On May 6th Gamer’s Vision amusement center held a special Tekken 6 event where the two highest ranked players in Japan battled it out to crown the first “Tekken Lord” rank in Japan. Takeyama (Bob) from Tokyo battled fiercely vs Osaka’s Second Generation Mainstreet Ryu (Kazuya) in a series of high level matches until one would be promoted as Japan’s first Tekken Lord! Check out the series of vids (7 in all) at the link below!

We know Hori promised a Real Arcade Pro 3 SA long ago before it eventually got scrapped… But this time they’ve announced a new SA (Sanwa) style arcade stick for the PlayStation 2 console. The SA features all Sanwa parts and models a darker graphite metal plate and blue/gray buttons. Preorders begin March 10th in Japan and the arcade stick will only be available on Hori’s web store. The stick is slated for a release on April 17th for 10,000 Yen (About $97.35 at the time this article was put together). Keep checking for any/all updates regarding this stick! Hopefully it actually comes out this time!
