I was invited to Nomura superday for HK IBD. but I received another email recently, about two weeks after the first email that they reassessed and decided not to invite me to Superday. Is this normal? what would have caused them to invite to superday and cancel later?

Probably some kids got the spots through connection. It happens a lot in HK TBH
Dam, sorry to hear that. I agree with above, it happens in HK, and has gotten worse because more "mainlanders" from China also targets these HK firms, and they have connections.
If this is common in Hong Kong, then wow. This is some unprofessional shit to pull.
Call them and say you want to speak to Mr. Nomuraaa (say it all Japanese like ... make sure you sound angry)
Then be blunt about it and say you want to reschedule and come in
I kind of agree.. you have very little to lose. If you call up to "clarify," and then reiterate your interest on the call and (while remaining polite) don't take "no" for an answer, you may get a shot.
Obviously, don't be racist.
I just received a call from Nomura saying there were too many qualified candidates for bankers to interview on Superday.
Post a copy of the email. Curious their exact wording.
We would like to thank you again for your interest and wish you every success in your future endeavours.
Sorry to hear that man...
Hope your journey to landing an offer is successful nonetheless!
Hmm interesting. Too many qualified kids for superday? Sounds like a joke. It's highly possible that a kid takes your spot through his connection with, let's say, the head of Asia or sth, without him even taking the phone interview. For you, you either get in, or go back home. So there's no harm to give them a call/send an email to the senior management/team to "complain" and speak out "how much you want the opportunity". Good luck
