- After a couple times, Umehara adapted and didn't fall for Uryo's frame trap EX DP (FADC) again, not even once. And that means Uryo wasted 3 meters doing so (around 3-4 times).
- It seemed like Umehara didn't mind being in the corner (easier to deal with a jump cross-up?). But he was still hit by a lot of cross-ups.

- Before the match in the audience, Tokido held "Chan" sign and the next guy had "Bon" sign. (It should be Bon Chan, instead of Chan Bon!) *new JFGC meme incoming

- Bon chose U2 (Tiger Cannon)
- Almost every rounds were intense/exciting!! Umehara always chased Bon to the corner, and then they tried to read each other or react fast enough. Bon tried hard not to fall for frame trap.
- Bon-chan once again proved that he's world's No.1 Sagat. He did a good job, not just blocking but fighting back.
- First round of 12th game, Umehara showed a new anti-Sagat tech (when Bon was in the corner) which is pressing HP (strong punch) repeatedly!! It's so funny everyone laughed. Bon himself was about to laugh, too. Anyway, it didn't work that round and Bon made a beautiful comeback.
- After the match ended, Tokido and the guy next to him flipped the "BON CHAN" signs and revealed that behind it has UME HARA written. (They betrayed Bon-chan! LOL)
