Meanwhile, from Japan…

Everyone knows that Takahiro Arai is the current Perfect Dark champion, passing Ace somewhat recently. Taka hails from Japan, where they eat sushi, drink sake, and do other things ending in vowels. I had reported on two other Japanese players who recently joined the ranks; let’s see how they’re doing, shall we?

Whoa, CEDRIC! This guy has climbed from 21st to 12th in just a month and a half! CEDRIC is threatening to crack the top 10 and at this rate, could even pass his fellow sake-drinker for the #1 spot! CEDRIC most recently got Duel PA 0:09 and a very impressive Defection PA 1:23! We can only hope he continues to play and move up.

Chuya Takizawa has also managed to get into the top 20, currently sitting at 19th. Chuya’s accomplishments are admittedly overshadowed by CEDRIC’s times, but he’s also moved up nine spots in the ranks, and in the same amount of time! Maybe when CEDRIC passes Taka, Chuya will leapfrog him and we’ll have a Japanese top 3!

I had also mentioned AT Allianz in my last update, and this guy is still hard at work, moving up 16 spots to 76th. AT isn’t quite on the same level as his Japanese competitors yet (maybe try eating some sushi), but he’s doing very well nonetheless.
