The Losers Tournament is held under the pressure of elimination if you lose.
First up was the match between Phenom (Cammy) and NL (Akuma).

While both held explosive power, they proceeded deliberately, and the match went to game 5, but in the end, NL, who responded calmly, won.
Phenom was eliminated here.
Losers Match 2 Tokido vs. Broski
Tokido (Ken), who received particularly loud cheers upon entry, was up against Broski (A.K.I.) from the UK.

Tokido won the second set with a perfect, gaining momentum and winning the match!

Losers Match 3 MenaRD vs. Xian
The third match was between MenaRD (Luke) and Xian (Dee Jay).
The venue was excited for this showdown between skilled players that could have been the final.
