opposite IIRC... or just high/mid in 3
Yunsung (IIRC he didn't have any safe mid/low mixups).

Top Left: That's "People who kinda played it on the SNES and bought SF IV and play it online" It used to be the same as the Vs. fans picture, lol. Still kinda is in the arcade when it comes to 3S.
Add Arabs to Egyptians/Moroccans to the King of Fighters fans too. You don't even know how competitive, and good, the KoF scene in Morocco was.
Also where the hell are the Filipinos? They need to be in every picture.

A mini-golf arcade has a cabinet for HnK but I don't take it seriously. It's pretty **** funny tho, as the video shows.
I knew once someone said Virtua Fighter, that picture would be posted eventually.
No one plays VF, bro. No one.

Yeah. It's Americans, they just suck *** at fighting games.

Cause thats logical
Well, it's pretty widely accepted that Japanese players are better than American players. Not to say that American players aren't or can't be good. It's just that Japanese players are better, in almost every game.

Our saving grace is Marvel. That's not to say Japan's bad at Marvel, though.
We just work harder at it and play it much more than they do.

Japan also plays Marvel very differently, if I remember correctly.

Making a joke
Virtua Fighter use to be just as big as SF in the US back then. It's notorious fr being the anti-Tekken now
I have an acquaintance that plays Tekken. And the only reason he plays it is because no one plays VF.

At the end of SCII's competitive life span he was top tier.

Likewise, the Japanese play like a polar opposite game with Brawl than the rest of the world. I wonder why that is.

Yeah, their Brawl style is different. It's just weird seeing them play.
They make the game look more aggressive and exciting than it is.

that is true. They play less gay in smash for some reason. they dont even cg in melee.

I was joking, typically Japanese are better. They were always better in MMOs too, lol.
Also, maybe we should play like them

We can't play like them because we don't understand why they're so much better. Like, i don't even understand how we're better in smash.

Because Smash is less about procedures of button combinations and more about the predictions and mindgames? There is a lot more to the Smash scene then bnb combos and getting them started.
We're less devoted to button memory and more devoted to using our heads.
That's how I can explain our skill at Smash, at least.

They play a lot more. The more you practice, the better you get.

Melee isn't just as much about procedures of button combos as mindgames? Idc about brawl. I hate that ****in game.

the thing is though EVERY fighter has just as much prediction and mindgames as smash does. the main difference though is you get a higher reward for guessing right than in smash (or at least brawl, for the most part)

Where do you find this pic at, I been looking for it for a few days now?I can't believe we got through 2 whole pages of this thread without posting this image.

I agree with half of that. Smash has some random things that has to lead to people guessing/predicting due to DI and such. I think fighters have some random stuff too though. GG and Marvel have lots of situational setups and unpredictability in things. So does 3rd Strike.
And even if the Smash community does value using their heads over button presses, a lot of other fighters will require both on the same level. IMO, I think that 2D fighters require the same kind of level of thinking compared to Smash. It's just harder to see that it does.

You can also it interpret it where because Brawl has much less emphasis on execution, it seems that mindgames and such have more of an emphasis. Of course, I think Lythium pretty much said that.
Hot ****!
I found it on this other forum I used to go to. I'm fairly certain it originally came from 4chan though.

There's tech skill, but how you execute when you've found your opening and predict your opponent with the right thought pattern is what counts when accounting DI and their own train of thought.
Mindgames and how you strategize/use your head is what I find most important in a Smash game. Being a player of both Melee and Brawl, I can understand that much and give that perspective at least.
And for what everyone else said, you guys are absolutely right. I can agree to that. Smash Bros. seems to stand out the most though, I find, when it comes to using mind over memory (if that makes sense to anyone. mindgames/predicting over button sequences for combos)
The best of both worlds is utilizing both, yes. But I feel that North America seems to focus much more on their mind then they do the memory of what works and what doesn't. Meanwhile Japan, while rather equal to us in skill (and Europe, and pretty much just about anywhere with a knowledgable Smash scene) wows us with their tech skill and execution. Mayhaps they focus on the memory aspect of the game more than we do? Our minds are more powerful though and narrowly beat out their tech skill.
Difficult to describe, the world of Smash Bros. is. Hahah.

I will not lie i am an isai fanboy too. He's prolly the only reason i got into smash (and smash got me into fgs).
Yeah.
I mean, It's pretty awkward when you read up stuff to get better on like shoryuken.com/sonichurricane.com when people are like 'You always know there's someone better, someone that can beat you out there somewhere, and that in every game' and you're like 'except Isai in smash 64'.
I can only think of like Tomo Ohira who has the same amount of dominance over a fighting game like Isai does, and even then I'm pretty sure Isai is better at his game (like, relatively)
lulz.
