In his coined Delayed Hyper Commentary series, James Chen takes past footage of overseas tournaments or otherwise rare matches and gives commentary for them in real time. The subject material for Chen’s latest DHC is the stream for the Arc System Work’s Fighting Game Awards 2016 tournament qualifier that took place in Kansai, Japan very recently. The Kansai qualification event is one of the last of it’s kind before the real tournament takes place on January 14th.

James Chen expresses his appreciation for Guilty Gear, and says he plans to use his channel to highlight activity of the Guilty Gear scene in the future. Though he says that his Guilty Gear commentary isn’t on par with his Street Fighter commentary, fans that only know him for the latter might be impressed with his familiarity with Guilty Gear’s characters and mechanics.

Top Players like Ice, Armada, Leffen, Frootloop and Darkrain make appearances in the clip.
