Perhaps I should elaborate, the reason we are the best is because we take gaming the most serious, all ready out in Shinjuku and else where in other Tokyo wards where the most famous game centers in the world are, there have been nintendo sponsored competitions for SSBM. They never sponsor those kinds of things stateside because gamers over here arent as serious about the games they play. Sure you guys might write about how much you love the game and how much you want to play each other in some grandoise tournament, but truth be told you guys are just lame dreamers. Besides the US is too big, even if you could have the tournament you want, how would you all get together in the same building. Youre mostly just a bunch of kids who dont even own your own cars. In Japan though its quite different. There are many more mature gamers, and most of everyone lives in Tokyo or somewhere else in the surrounding Kanto region, (20 million plus people). If you want to wake up and see gaming for what it really is buy a Tokyo bound plane ticket. Heck, Id be over there myself right now if it wasnt for school. It doesnt matter though, 'cus its in my blood, and I was raised on the nintendo famicon and sega and so on. And I got to play all the games, not just a hand full of imports that were poorly translated and unjustly edited. While were not the best at most of everything when it comes to animation, video games and electronics, Japan is number one. Just admit it, its OK.
