Important Bushido Impact changes

Yesterday I received an update no the imminent Bushido Impact tournament. Firstly, SCV, SFxT & 3S are cancelled due to lack of registrations. The plus side is that Marvel 2v2 should happen now, and should be confirmed soon. Secondly, there will be a UK vs France exhibition for SSF4 & UMVC3 (or France vs Rest of the World). in terms of how many players on each side, depends on how many good players each side has at the venue.
