- Xian got only 2 rounds out of 22 rounds.

Interview
- Umehara said he did homework for corner game and okizeme.
- Umehara practiced blocking Gen's okizeme in training mode.
- Umehara didn't use or aim for unblockable setup.
- Umehara didn't practice with Japanese Gen and "Xian is different, I think watching video is better."
- Umehara said since Gen's Super can combo to Ultra so he played more aggressive and didn't care about getting FADC'd anymore.
