If you have the time, you should check out my learning psychology posts.USA uses stages to help their gay play style. While we try to bann stages to cut that BS down to size, you still have options to worry about.
What a gay meta knight, I will bann raindow.
hahaha. Fool, I still got brinstar and delfino. hell even halberd though it is not that serious.
And I also don't agree with them having the time to foucs on that cause of their stage list. cause I know damm well USA uses their stages and even try to play foul to win, and still lose to them. Which is why stages are just one big excuse. it is also not really hard to sit with someone and play on stages to practice stuff for a few hours or so.
And one big thing................IT'S A NEUTRAL! Not much happens on neutrals! You just fight. We play and practice so much stuff on other stages to increase our chances of winning. Japanese don't play on these stages alot, or at all. So for USA to take them there and still lose is just a big no.
Just as you said here, we use the stages and try to 'play foul to win', but to me that just says 'use stupid gimmicks'. Meanwhile, the Japanese are focusing on the most solid fundamental play that anyone has ever seen. These fundamental skills are transferable to other stages, but are easier to focus on when playing matches on the big 3 (FD, SV, BF).
You have also stated that nothing happens on neutrals. This is true, and it reinforces my point. When nothing happens, you must face the full force of your opponent. There are not gimmicks to hide behind, no crazy stages to pick, nothing. The Japanese are used to playing IC's on FD. How crazy is that? Have you ever actually LET an IC player counterpick FD? It's not fun. But if you learned how to manhandle IC's on FD, what hope could they possibly have anywhere else? Learning to play with these legitimate disadvantages, as opposed to [LOL MK ON BRINSTAR] is what gives the Japanese their strength. They focus on reads, responses, and crisp play.
