George R Brown Convention Center
Houston, TX
This was the first year that Texas Showdown officially became Showdown Championships. It was also the inaugural year for Anime Matsuri. Among the festivities were qualifying spots for the SBO qualifiers being held at Planet Zero later that year. In celebration of that, Japanese players were invited as special guests for the event. Among them were previous and current SBO champions and participants. After a hard fought tournament, the final battle was held on stage in front of thousands of spectators during the main events. In the end, the players from Japan won.
