The sumabato tourney is over and the first results are on www.smashbrothers.org
Some people will be surprised / disappointed by the results, mainly because singles was played very differently from how we know them ... it was a single elimination tournament and everything other than the finals were played as best of 1.
Results are 1st Nietono (Oli), 2nd Brood (Oli), 4th Souther (Snake), 4th 9B (Lucario) but it's up to you to decide how much these results actually mean. With 9B dropping IC and seriously going all Lucario now it's kind of questionable whether he will remain on the top of the Japanese metagame [although at the tourney he beat Rain in singles]. Currently it seems like Nietono's Olimar is pretty much unstoppable [as shown by the 3on3 results].
1st Nietono / Phisakura / Isotaku
2nd Brood / Yui / Nagahari
4th Kakera / Otori / Rain
4th Smasher / Akira / Souther
Nietono took out most teams all by himself.
Doubles results are:
1st Otori + Namarta [I don't actually know who Otori's partner is]
2nd Nietono + Tige
3rd Masashi + Nagahari
4th Rain + El

lol, so in the case that Lucario does happen to do well in Japan, what would you say about that, Gheb? Lucario actually can do some good imo if it's against Olimar/IC/Sheik/Pit/Falco/MK, although he might have trouble using Luc against D3/Snake. Not as strong as ICs per se, but anyone with good reading ability imo will **** w/ Lucario if they train up w/ him enough.

9B's Lucario will probably **** once he actually learns the character. In the videos I've seen he was doing well against ocean while basically not really playing the character or matchup correctly at all. Granted at the same time Ocean wasn't really playing the matchup well either... but he was a little better. Lol no one uses Lucario in japan.
But yeah... He could be frighteningly good once a player as smart as him upgrades to Lucario v.11 from Lucario v.08

No new Videos the last 3 weeks :x
I really don't see how most of the characters you mention would help Lucario's performance. Sheik doesn't exist outside of Earth who uses Pit anyways - that one advantage is pretty much null. The only Ice Climber that remains a tourney threat now is Kakera and whether 9B will be able to take him on with Lucario remains to be seen [totally ignoring the fact that Kakera can play MK too]. Falco also isn't very common in top level play in Japan. You could say that "he might do well against Sheik, IC and Falco" ... I'm saying "he can definitely do well against Earth, Kakera and Rain" because that's pretty much the same.
But him beating Brood / Nietono, Masashi or Otori / El with Lucario? No, I don't see how that's supposed to happen. It'll be almost impossible for him to avoid a match-up where he's disadvantaged before the WQF of a bracket. I see him able to place 9th or 7th in bigger tourneys in the east but all in all it shouldn't be hard to see that a lot of players suddenly become actual threats to him should he decide to go Lucario all the way.
Against his ICs I can think of 3 - 5 players that can legit beat him. But I can easily think of ten that have realistic chances to beat his Lucario.

Can't add what doesn't exist =/
The next sumabato is scheduled for the 25th.

Most of the videos are the same as the ones in Yui's channel, though they're all in japanese.
Sumabato tourney results are on www.smashbrothers.org. Once again, the results are surprising - to say the least. There seems to be truly no consistency in the west of Japan with 9B going exclusively Lucario now.
1st SLS

3rd Cross
4th Earth
5th Masashi
5th Akira

who the hell is SLS and cross
Seems like SLS is mainly a Wifi player. At least that's what I get from the description. Cross has been kind of successful in the latest tourneys but that's his best placing so far.
Here's the bracket:
http://smashbrothers.org/tournament/x/7bracket.jpg
WSFs were: Kakera > Earth and SLS > Masashi
WQFs were: Masashi > Akira, Kakera > Cross, Earth > Souther, dunno who SLS beat
LQFs were: Earth > Akira and Cross > Masashi [both upsets]
LSF was: Cross > Earth

Man, cross is stepping it up, taking it to show ol' Earth why he shouldn't have dropped such a boss character so soon (jk lol, but seriously, Sheik matches generally are like at least 2-minutes shorter than most Japanese matches because of how she can naturally rush down and pressure most pretty well (and of course also is short on the flipside because of her frailty 
)
)There is only one video of him up and it's not very good quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSqyXrpRIpU
I use www.smashbrothers.org
It's the website of the westsmash series. Any other tournament series is linked to on the main page so you're best off working from there. Westsmash is also the most active Brawl scene that I'm aware of.

2 weeks ago there was another round robin tournament in the Kanto area. The replays were recorded but only a few videos are actually uploaded. Instead the replay files are available for download here:
http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/Li/so/100297/ssbb
Since I can't record anything I recommend downloading these files if you want to see them. From the videos I saw so far it should be a very interesting watch as characters are pretty diverse: Yui [Fox], Shu [Snake], Rain [MK], Shige [Falco], Mikeneko [arguably the best Marth in japan], Kein [arguably the best GW in Japan]. I have not seen all videos yet so I can't confirm Rain's Falco, Shu's/Yui's MK or Shige's MK/Diddy yet but I'll watch the videos later and post results and stuff. It also remains to be seen whether other players took part at the round robin. More info coming soon.
If somebody could record these replay files and either send them to me or upload them on his channel I'd really appreciate that. It would be a very valuable addition to this video collection.

I'm sure Nietono has videos, and 9B as Ic's at this point
