Regional rivalry is nothing new for fighting games. We've all likely seen at least a few tournaments where the whole premise revolved around the battle for the title of best region, like Japan vs. Korea, EU vs. NA, or USA vs Japan.

However, it's rare to see this type of action happen on a more specific level, such as this France vs. Japan tournament where the best of the best from both sides duke it out. Not only that but for such an old title.

You can watch the whole exhibition in the video below, and if the timestamp doesn't work, the real action starts at 54:02, enjoy!
