TTT2 - New Years Eve Events from Namco Sugamo

What better way to welcome the new year then by holding several big tournaments inside Japan's major home for Tekken. First, a 3on3 'generations' tournament was held that had players partnered up only with other players at close to the same age you (one up or one age below you is the max). Second, a 'Sugamo Off' which I still don't quite fully what exactly is but it seems to turn into a multiple hour spanning 2on2 later on. Lastly, another 3on3 tournament with a 'HinoP Forces VS Nobi Forces' battle at the end which gathers 28 other players to battle it out in a big 29 VS 29 match just before the new year. Happy new years everyone, enjoy the archives.
