Thanks again to all the customizers that entered (and helped out) to make this such an awesome contest!
Kumite Fun Facts: · I started working on this contest while hosting the Undisputed Ninja Master Custom Contest last year. I wanted to have a martial arts contest with more than just ninja. · The customizers and the board had 3 of the same fighters in their top 5 (Wu-Shi, Xiao Hu, and Reaper). · 11 of the customizers who entered had Wu-Shi in their top 5 . · Customizer top 5 – Wu-Shi, Ghost Tiger, Xiao Hu, Reaper, Siege. · Board top 5 – Xiao HU, Wushi, Gikan, Reaper, Bakemono. · This was the first custom contest that I hosted in which the customizers who entered decided who won. · It wasn’t easy deciding on the Chosen One. Well written bios, custom execution (design, parts, paints), and unique custom weapons were some of the criteria that I used to make my decision. · Jade and Purple Hunt were the only female fighters in the tournament. · The former Kumite Champ, Yuki no Kuro Uma translated to English means ‘The Irrepressible Dark Horse’. Dark Horse is the moniker for an exceptional customizer whose head I used for the champ (Tri-Gate custom cast). He tends to look like Wolverine so I made the champ resemble him too. · Each of the 8 extra fighters that I made had one of the weapons from the Kumite Custom Weapons Packs. · Tatsuya, Iwao, and Daisuke are all ninja in the Daremo Ninja Clan. Iwao is the only completed figure. · John Doe is my Nth Man (by Larry Hama) wip. · Ni Stoplock is really Shin-Gouki (Shin->Knee->Ni, Go->Stop, Ki->Key->Lock). · Sticks was the first all black ninja that I made. · Yasuo was my Arashikage Ninja based on Marvel issue #26. · Kung Fu Kid is my self custom. · Bakemono was a complete unkown coming into the tournament. · CUD was the only custom that had a monogrammed belt buckle. This was hands down the funniest custom. Death bell? Classic! · Xiao Hu became the People’s Choice after an extra day of voting up against Wu-Shi. · Wu-Ta has 43 Arashikage to go. · Jackson Fury is the brother of Bryan Fury of Tekken fame. · The Arena names for each round (Earth, Fire, Air, Water, Void) are based on the 5 elements in Japanese philosophy. · Master Tao vs Xiao Hu would have been a great fight! · Kojo ‘Snake’ Masters was the only fighter to be in professional sports. · Going by the bios, there were only 4 ninja in the tournament (Reaper, Wu-Ta, Gikan, Purple Hunt) · Siege beat a ninja in the tournament. · Gikan was the only O-ring custom figure in the contest. The customizers ranked him #9 while the board had him at #3. · The Apprentice, Reaper, was DonMagic’s first completed custom. · El Conquistador, Gatos, Purple Hunt, Hrothmeir, and Bearclaw were also considered for The Apprentice award. · Hrothmeir had 2 different outfits. · Hard Knox placed exactly in the middle of all the entries. · Ghost Tiger was more popular with the customizers than the board. Strange. · In the next Kumite tournament, any character that entered the first tournament will be able to compete again. It will be bigger and better.
