Did you click the video in the first post? lol Just super saiyan.Also, from what I've heard and seen of Japanese players, it seems like there are a lot of goods ones, but no really exceptional ones that could threaten those 5 (apart from maybe axe but I think even he could win the tournament solidly)
I've watched that set before and Gucci is good, but if you're implying he has a legitimate shot of taking a set off the top 4 players in the world, based off one set where he loses 3-1 and gets 3 stocked the last match, AND considering their track records vs hax/s2j, then you're trippin dawgDid you click the video in the first post? lol Just super saiyan.
did you watch the video? Check out that last match again and tell me it's worth the 5 grand to send those guys to japanDid you click the video in the first post? lol Just super saiyan.

The only way you're getting one of those 5 to come to Japan is if you 100% pay for their ticket, or hope that they've actually wanted to visit Japan on their own and needed an excuse.
I'm pretty sure they have a prize for the winner...it's just that money matches are ilegal since they are technically considered gambling.If I recall correctly, there's no money involved in Japanese tournaments. I recall some story of M2K wanting to money match a lot of people at the Sunrise tournament and he couldn't. So if people go to a Japanese tournament, there's really little to no chance of at least partially getting your money back. I think you should want to go to Japan in the first place if the money is coming out of your own pocket. Ever wanted to vacation in Japan? Great. Then the few grand to make it to Japan will be worth it and you'll also get to enter the tournament.
Well there's that, and if I remember correctly from the past. The Japanese simply "don't play gay" or refuse to, this might have impeded some of their growth even considering how sequestered from the rest of the community japan is. Isai would have more knowledge on their attitudes towards play than I would but yea "just saiyan".I've watched that set before and Gucci is good, but if you're implying he has a legitimate shot of taking a set off the top 4 players in the world, based off one set where he loses 3-1 and gets 3 stocked the last match, AND considering their track records vs hax/s2j, then you're trippin dawg

tl;dr they play for fun
Thank youI would message the YouTube channel MeleeAtlNorth if you want someone you can trust your money to. If they can't help you themselves, they can at least direct you to someone who is able to.
Though we can use Ic's freeze glitch now, it will be banned soon. This is because we got to know American rule bans it.Ic's freeze glitch is tournament legal in japan and people actually use it in tournaments too
yeah they defs play "for fun"
whoa whoa whoa, don't give me your money.Thank you
I'm not the representive of melee, so I can't decide. But Asking him whether MeleeAtNorth can be or not will help us.
Actually, Melee banned Metaknight first...Your logic falls apart when you realize Melee banned Metaknight after barlw did.
The URC banned Metaknight from Brawl on January 9th, 2012, over two years later:[*]For all Melee tournaments, use of the character Metaknight is banned.[/list]
Who is considered Japan's best player, anyway? I'm tempted to say Captain Jack but he's pretty much retiredSouten, Kou, Gucci, Shuta and Da-yoshi (he calls himself "Japanese mango" lol) registered Apex from Japan.
Japanese melee community was small for several years ago.
Fortunately thanks to the melee staff efforts, the community's getting better and larger.
They're learning how to manage community from what Americans do.
We have 4 big tournaments and streaming in 1 year. The last tournament that m2k joined had 106 registers.
Respecting for the foreign famous players and also the technological innovation of netplay helped this.
Japanese law, basically money match is illegal. Money prize is also not legal in case we don't have sponsors.
Fund is a nice idea. 1 problem is that we need to find person whom we can entrust our money.
I think Gucci, falcon player the best. He won the first prize of the latest big tournament.Who is considered Japan's best player, anyway? I'm tempted to say Captain Jack but he's pretty much retired
You can see Japanese big tournament info here.I'm going to Japan in the beginnings of July.
Will there be a big tournament or something? I played Kou last time but I would like to play the other best 2 as well
