For any of the GBVSR players out there, I want to get your attention with regards to the player Kasausagi(傘兎). He has ~90% win rate with Ferry in ranked, with well over 10k matches. It's unheard of to be this consistent especially master rank Japan region.

I think he has solved the game.

Kinda crazy that Diaphone won both the Tokon and 2XKO tournaments back to back.

Also these tournaments are disproving my initial thoughts of these two games, there's a lot more to them than I initially thought.

I think this is the best play I've seen of the game, along with the TNS tournament. I was starting to worry the game might be too dominated by autocombo, especially with how much Leffen complained about it.
