After an
extended Round 3, the Grand Tournament moves on to
Round 4 - "Ascension".
While there are still two running matches from Round 3, both in the "Honor" Seed, we have a fairly complete bracket set up for the Seed Championships. Two seeds, "Glory" and "Destiny", are having a "Minitour" - a round-robin style arrangement - to determine the Seed Champions and consequently, the semifinalists.
In Seed One - "Glory", we have:
Rock Lee versus Glacieric Setsua
Glacieric Setsua versus Dearth
Dearth versus Rock Lee
In Seed Two - "Destruction" - there has already been an upset, with Deicide withdrawing from the tournament after a battle with competitor Circ, placing Circ as the Destruction Champion, and making him the first fighter to reach the semifinals.
Seed Three - "Honor" is completely indeterminate, with Kouketsu and Iron Maiden fighting one another,
vying for the chance to move to the Seed Championships. Pidge and SSJ3Mewtwo continue to engage in
an epic battle that just might make the history books.
Seed Four - "Destiny" gives us a slew of fighters, perhaps one of the most diverse.
Annihilation Husky versus Vagrant
Vagrant versus The Meandering Fool
The Meandering Fool versus Annihilation Husky
We're nearing the end of the Tournament after a long and hard road for the competitors. It seems a shame that only one will be able to claim the title, as the fighters in this tournament have displayed some amazing qualities, all worthy of the title.
Speaking of the title, there was some conversation about how the GT Title works, and how it applies to fighters who were not in the tournament. Any title obtained through the Grand Tournament is a no-contest title, and
can not be transferred to another fighter without a sanctioned match. The title is a statement of the titleholder's ability and historical significance of defeating a slew of other competitors from the tournament. Since the tournament is a
join effort from multiple sites, the Grand Tournament can be considered a multi-site cross-section of the highest caliber of fighter from the participating sites, but may or may not accurately represent the best. A more accurate representation can be found in the
GT League, where fighters from all corners of the world may come to be ranked by the automated system as they add their fights and spars to the league.
On a last note, major congratulations to Miyamoto Musashi, whom upon the lack of presence of Relentless, has been declared the GT Speed Fighting Champion.
