annnddddd??? We still won most of the time. Cj didnt do much. And that was when melee was starting to get really competitive. I dont believe masashi, aniki, bs, mach dash, thunders, or any other japanese players won anything over here. (although they didnt come over here much)

Didn't the Japanese go to Genesis or Pound 4 last year? How did they do there? IIRC it was mostly Americans and Europeans who placed remotely well.

I know Koreans are good at Starcraft but I never heard anything about the Japanese being really good.

I've talked to a lot of people who met Japanese Smashers and they all say that Japan is roughly on our level, but they play differently. They are much more unorthodox than us, but America usually has better fundamentals in Smash.

I would argue that Japanese execution is better too. All of the execution-heavy characters win tournaments, and their stage list favours that type of playstyle.

We are better at execution than Japan in Smash.

Now if America put in just 1/4th of the same amount of dedication to fighting games that we do in Smash, then we'd finally not be the butt of all combo/blocking related jokes.

Or maybe it's because Japan doesn't put the same amount of dedication for Smash? XD
It seems that we beat Japan in games they don't care as much about like Smash and Marvel.

Well I was going to talk about shaving my scrot since that video was very helpful, but I doubt this would be the right place.

We could talk about HnK, but I don't think it would matter.

This thread is already dead.
