Qanbas Zhuojun Xiao Hai Zeng emerged from California as the winner of the SoCal Regionals after a victory over YOUDEALs Tatsuya Haitaini Haitani in the grand finals. The Chinese superstar Cammy player moved to sixth overall on the Capcom Pro Tour global standings with 676 points and established himself as one of the best bets for a tournament victory regardless of the competition.Overall, the SoCal Regionals fielded a diverse pool of characters and playstyles. It featured a Birdie, Guile, and a Balrog, as well as a strong mix of different representatives in the top-8. There were three players from the USA, one from China and South Korea and two from Japan. The tournament was stacked enough that upsets against Evil Geniuses Yusuke Momochi Momochi and Zowies Bruce Gamerbee Hsiang hardly moved the dial.In addition to Xiao Hais emergence as a top threat in Street Fighter V, there was another player that could potentially be a fixture in the top-8 of major tournaments: South Koreas Park Xyzzy Han-Byul and his Birdie. He was one of the most entertaining players during the weekend and amazed audience members and competitors alike with his ridiculous hit-confirms and well-placed pressure.Grand finals: Xiao Hai against HaitaniIt was China against Japan in the grand finals, with Chinas best representative playing against a Japanese fighting game god. Xiao Hai entered from the winners bracket after a convincing 3-0 victory over Haitani; on the other hand, Haitani was fresh off a close win over Evil Geniuses Kenneth KBrad Bradley. Haitani, needing a reset, was sharp in his mix-ups and pressure game against Xiao Hais Cammy. Despite the loss in winners finals, Haitanis comfort level only grew after he played nearly an hours worth of games against Cammy. He baited out the correct reversals, played the throw or frame-trap game, and outpaced his Chinese counterpart until the grand finals were ultimately reset.When I first won, it was too easy, Xiao Hai told ESPN. But, when I lost, I fixed the habits that were originally punished. He beat me a few times on my wakeup, but after I adjusted, he never got me again.Xiao Hai used the first set as a way to gauge his opponents adjustments and then planned accordingly after. His ability to cope with pressure, once a defining weakness, was now altered to data-collection. Xiao Hai explained that he completely shifted his neutral game to lessen the use of medium kick and punch to feature more of Cammys three-frame moves to both whiff-punish and bait Haitani. He would use Haitanis eagerness to dash against him.The people I was most afraid to play were already eliminated, Xiao Hai said.USA temporarily shortened the gapKBrad had himself a weekend. The Cammy professional finished an immaculate third place and showcased the kind of clean play the USA was capable of. His teammate, Eduardo PRRog Perez-Frangie looked every bit like the top player he was in Street Fighter IV and could be on the verge of a career resurgence. His Balrog and -- to a lesser degree -- Necalli were sharp and aggressive, the perfect signatures for a player that fed on offense.At the same time, the international killer, Team Liquids Du NuckleDu Dang once again shined on the main stage and padded his already impressive resume.While the USA put down three combatants for a Premier Event top-8, the elusive W was not claimed. Theres still work to be done if the gap between the West and East is finally shortened.

A seven-goal haul to Coleman Medal leader Josh Kennedy has saved West Coast from embarrassment in the AFL western derby, but theyll need more stars to stand tall if they are to negotiate a brutal end to the home-and-away season.Fremantle threatened to cause a derby boilover on Sunday after opening up a 15-point lead midway through the second term.The Dockers had dominated the contest until that point, but West Coast booted nine of the next 10 goals to run out 17.8 (110) to 9.10 (64) winners in front of 36,215 fans.Kennedy won the Ross Glendinning Medal as best on ground.His match-winning haul took his season tally to 67 - six goals before Sydneys Lance Franklin and Gold Coasts Tom Lynch in the race for the AFLs Coleman Medal.Kennedys three goals in the third quarter proved crucial as the Eagles killed off Fremantles challenge.The win moved West Coast (13-6) into sixth spot on the ladder, and guaranteed they will play finals football for a second straight year.But with games against premiership fancies GWS (away), Hawthorn (home), and Adelaide (away) to round out the season, West Coast face an uphill battle to earn a home final.Well know where were at in three weeks heading into the finals, Simpson said of the tough run home.Eagles ruckman Nic Naitanui tallied seven disposals, 26 hit-outs and a goal in his first game back from achilles tendon surgery.More important, he finished the game unscathed, with the 2012 All-Australian shapinng as a key cog in West Coasts bid to cause some damage in the finals.ddddddddddddBut Simpson couldnt help but feel a tad worried by his teams lethargic start to the match.Luckily for the Eagles, Kennedy took a series of big marks and booted some clutch goals to help lift the side to victory.Hes a tremendous leader for us, Simpson said.He got on the end of a couple today and he stood up in big moments. He makes others better around him.Fremantle (3-16) remain mired to 16th spot on the ladder.But their performance was much better than last weeks 90-point loss to Sydney.Dockers ruckman Aaron Sandilands, playing his first match since breaking several ribs in round three, made a strong start before fading to finish with 12 disposals and 23 hit-outs.Fremantle utility Tom Sheridan racked up 16 disposals and two goals while keeping West Coast ball magnet Andrew Gaff to just 19 touches and a late goal in a strong tagging effort.I thought Tommy Sheridans job on Gaff was outstanding, Dockers coach Ross Lyon said.(Gaff) racked up a few cheapies late, but I thought (Sheridan) was really good.And it was a great return from Aaron. He had real influence, and that will only get more pronounced as he plays more.Dockers forward Michael Walters could come under scrutiny for his high bump on Eagles midfielder Matt Priddis. ' ' '
