Dan Ranking League [Oct 2009 - Aug 2010]

Game Spot Versus is the new name for the Game Inn Sakura Arcade. Game Inn Sakura is the arcade which produces the infamous Kuroda character DVDs! 2hr long match videos of Kuroda playing a single character against a number of opponents, most unknown. You can still buy the Kuroda character DVDs from Game Spot Versus thankfully. In October 2009 the arcade released videos and information about a new League system running which is a similar system in Virtua Fighter ranking system. League Explanation: Players enter the League with a character and by competing against players with the same or similar rank you either get one point or lose one. You start with the rank "shodan", after 3 points you move up to the next rank (from 1st dan to 10th dan). If you lose 3 points, your rank moves down one level. With 10th dan (right now Boss, Nuki and Kuroda) you only fight people with your level and after 5 points you get a special title "強者" meaning 'Strong'. Also, players can re-enter using different characters, for example Kuroda is ranked 10th Dan with Ryu and 8th Dan with Hugo. Since October 2009, 4 more Arcades have begun leagues, including: Amuseum Sendai (Hakkaido) POPY (Niigata) Game Box Q2 (Nagoya) Game Spot Versus (Tokyo) Gamespace Vega (Osaka) Subculture (Fukuoka) Danisen Homepage: www.game-versus.net/danisen/ Game Spot Versus: www.game-versus.net
