News: FR2013 Kanazawa Decklists, Aqua Force and Majesty Lord Blaster Sweep Through Team Tournaments

The Fighter's Road 2013 Kanazawa decklists are out, revealing names of the newest emerging pro fighters of this year's national championship. Despite their restriction earlier this year, Eradicators have consistently maintained a steady grip on the Open division as the favorite pro deck of choice, with the Liberator subgroup as their constant rival. While they aren't shining as prominently, Angel Feather's Celestials made it into Kanazawa's best 8, pointing to a more even playing field than the top two results would suggest. The Open division may be business as usual for the Eradicator-Liberator deadlock, but the Junior class tournament is the center of attention for the crossride-centric Dragonic Overlord The End build that has reappeared here after a six month hiatus, this time taking advantage of Corduroy's cheaper cost and a pool of Seal Dragon triggers to make retiring easier on a build that wants to reserve its damage zone for The End's persona blast. The deck is being piloted by Niida Kazuki, a veteran of the 2012 Fighter's Road tournaments who previously used The End. Since that time it's clear that Niida's play style has cultivated in a different direction entirely, turning away form the Burning Horn Dragon that he once ran at four in favor of Corduroy, Berserk Dragon and Bellicosity Dragon's utility skills.

In an interesting twist of history, Eboshida Daito has reappeared in the best 8 for Kanazawa's Juniors division; while Eboshida has never been an especially prominent name among pros, at the game's beginning in late 2011 he was the runner up for the Nagoya Junior regional tournament using a Nova Grappler-Royal Paladin hybrid deck, and was also the runner up in the Kanazawa Junior regional for Fighter's Road 2012. Since 2012 he appears to have settled into Gold Paladin as his clan of choice, this time using a Liberator deck instead of Ezel support. Unfortunately, Eboshida did not place high enough to continue contending for this year's national title.

In VFHS news, teams sporting both Dragonic Descendant and Majesty Lord Blaster are gaining ground as a popular combination. With a modernized, break ride-focused Dragonic Overlord The End filling the third space, Hirayama Ken, Ishida Koudai and Watanabe Shouhei are together making for a dangerous combination of all-star builds, in spite of their neophyte status to the world of pros. The direction of the team is ambitious, but it remains to be see if their combination pays off or if the next wave of strategy pushes back the tide.

The Student-only division has taken a different course, with a tech-heavy Maelstrom deck emerging under the command of up-and-coming fighter Torimi Akitaka. Torimi is of interest due to Aqua Force's overall weaker presence in professional play, as the clan is generally agreed upon as strong but difficult to use compared to contemporaries with a less steep learning curve. As the format up until January was heavily defined by defensive play and base 13000 vanguards that Aqua Force units could generally not target with Diamantes or Basil, and the emphasis on aggressive play has only developed within February-on, Aqua Force fighters have been generally slower to come out of the woodwork.

News: FR2013 Kanazawa Results, Dragonic Overlord and Ezel Return to the Fore

Even though the world of North American Cardfight is currently caught up in the crowning of Kaden Kawakami, the world outside is still turning. While Kawakami was receiving his trophy, the next branch of Fighter's Road 2013 was taking place, and Doctor O has the scoop.

In the Juniors' division, Dragonic Overlord The End is picking up steam after its mild success in Kyoto's best 8. First place was taken by a The End cardfighter, although currently it is reported to not use the Dauntless Drive support that has drawn so much professional attention. Second place went to a Gold Paladin cardfighter using an Ezel build, suspected to specifically focus on the Platina Ezel crossride and his ultimate break. The Open division remains consistently dominated by the Eradicators even in their restricted incarnation, with Gauntlet Buster Dragon taking the top spot, and a Gold Paladin Liberator build placing second.  The disparity between the results of Junior class and Open class tournaments through this current season has been noted, as previous tournaments under the Junior and Senior models were relatively uniform when it came to which decks dominated the competition. While on the surface, the Eradicator and Liberator decks appear to be the defining builds of the format, this disparity between divisions may be a sign of a lack of consensus. Neither build has been as prolific as The End or Soul Saver Dragon from 2012 and 2011.

Based on Bushiroad's previous schedule, tournament decklists should go out within the next few days. The remaining five tournaments will take place in Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Tokyo, Sapporo and Nagoya with the Hiroshima tournament being next in line on the 16th. This will be the first time that Fukuoka prefecture has been included in the national tournament, and also the first time that Okayama, Hakata and Osaka will not be participating.

Spotlight: Minami Takeshi/南武志

Fighter's Spotlight is an ongoing project concerned with tracking real-world professional cardfighters across the globe.

Name: Minami Takeshi/南武志
Age: Unknown; Seniors Division
Titles Won: Kanazawa Regional Champion (Senior Class), National Finalist Fourth Place (Summer 2012)
Current Status: National Finalist Fourth Place (Summer 2012)
Deck Type: Royal Paladin (Majesty Lord Blaster)
Minami Takeshi was once the reigning Kanazawa regional champion, in line for Japan's 2012 national title. He was also the first of three Royal Paladin cardfighters in the running. Like his contemporaries, Minami did not previously participated in an official competition, making his debut in the 2012 Fighter's Road events.

Decks and Play Style
Minami's original deck features a high emphasis on critical triggers with minimal draw influence, and a careful balance of grade 1 cards that eschews maxing out on perfect guards as is typical in favor of Kay and his early-game attacks. Using Starcall Trumpeter to summon his Blaster units and Wingal Brave to add Majesty Lord Blaster to the hand, Minami focuses on rushing his opponents into the end of the game with Lord Blaster's high power and extra critical. By maxing out on Blasters Blade and Dark, Takeshi allows for repeated use of Lord Blaster's skill, and forgoes more counterblast-heavy units like Akane to make greater room for Starcall and Blaster Blade's cardskills. In contrast to the bunker tactics of The End cardfighters that swarmed contemporary competitions, Minami's goal is solely toward offense and Palamedes exemplifies this.

For the finals Minami rebalanced his triggers to lean slightly back toward the draw power he once rejected. Unlike his previous deck, this one did choose to run a maximum amount of perfect defense in order to combat prevalent on-hit crossride skills. Kay and Toypugal remain, but in smaller numbers as a result, and his grade 1 ratio skirts dangerously close to unbalanced. Arguably this comes from a change of perspective, as once he was in the finals, Minami did not need to ride correctly in every fight--he needed to ride correctly in four fights. Being the least stable of the finalist decks, Minami's introduces several new units like Akane and Margal which seemingly conflict with the deck's Majesty Lord focus, and he runs several cards in single copies. While the methodology is difficult to decipher, ultimately his lineup was consistent enough to place as the fourth best in Japan.

News: Fighter's Road 2012 Hiroshima, Nagoya and Kanazawa

This morning the winners of the three initial Fighter's Road 2012 regional competitions were announced through Bushiroad's official CF-Vanguard Japanese website. This year's round of regional competitions sees the introduction of many fresh faces into the professional world of Cardfight, as well as the return of 2011 National Champions Kamosaki Mayu and Rikino Sakura.

Additionally, several families appear to have entered the junior and trio battle competitions together, as multiple cardfighters this year share surnames. First place winners in these competitions will go on to the national championship; two among them will be crowned Japan's 2012 National Champions.

Only Nagoya, Hiroshima and Kanazawa have completed their regional tournaments. We are still waiting on the results from the remaining five cities.

By far the dominant decks for the seniors division this year are Blond Ezel and Dragonic Overlord The End decks, with Majesty Lord Blaster taking a backseat to the new Gold Paladin clan. Several old deck types are also reappearing in both age divisions, with the King of Knights Alfred still being able to hold his own against modern tactics. This influx of The End decks could be seen as a reaction toward the Stand Up! Vanguard live-action drama, whose main character endeared The End to many Japanese fans.

Trio Battle results will be reported later tonight, due to the encroaching length of this article.
