Did anyone attend or at least watch the streams? Any good, "must see" videos?

Well, I only cared for SC5, and the grand final is quite interesting for most SC5 players considering how Tira is thought to be a low-tier character.

Cool, thanks for the link. Just goes to show that tiering isn't always so important.

I don't think players really agree on the tiers for Soul Calibur 5. The guide lists Tira as pretty high tier, and I hear the developers have always thought Tira is overpowered. I think Tira is top tier myself, but the game is pretty balanced so it's not like she is advantaged, she's just the same as most other characters, except a few who are pretty weak. Most players in the USA thought Tira was low tier, but I have no idea what most players in Japan thought of her. Since this tournament was utterly dominated by Japanese, Chinese, and Korean players, I'd place more stock in what they think of her at the moment.

I thought it was awesome that Tira won, though.
