I think the main reason japanese are overall better at vidoegames than we are, is because it is more embraced there than over here, where it is more or less looked down upon as something only for kids. you can tell it is due to the amount of mainstream television coverage there on events compared to here. there is a culture of gaming that even the U.S. hasn't tapped into yet economically and socially.

That being said, my style is about to make a change. You might think Im actually Japanese... (Kojin)

are you daffy?
MK is one of the most AT reliant characters in the game...
glide attack cancels and tornado cancels make up like 50% of his game....
Woah what Mk's have you been playing?
Glide attack canceling and tornado cancelings are not 50% of his game. look at m2k, Dojo and Shadow. None of them use the tornado and glide attack cancels to sucha large extent. MK is far from an AT reliant character.
He plays very similarly to Marth.
yeah he may have an AT (if you can call them that) but otherwise, he takes advantageof basic gameplay to a much higher extent than otehr characters.

Ehh...
From what I've seen, the Japanese way of playing is basically "omg omg omg speed pressure!"
But Brawl, because it sucks, isn't that kind of game. It's all gay campy and defensive, and the Japanese just don't play it like that.

US>Japan when it comes to smash.
Thats just how it is.
The US players appear to fare better than the JP players. 8shrug*
I disagree. I think Japanese would be better at 64(isn't Isai from Japan or something, if not, oh well, I'm wrong, lol.), we're pretty even on Melee, but US kills Japanese at Brawl. Brawl is not a fast game, it's more about spacing and if you play it too fast, your going to get screwed. Of course, Dojo seems to have a good mix if fast playstyle and good spacing. =O

Yea, that's basically it.
They're trying to play it like Melee. Doesn't work.

Brawl is floaty and shallow as of the moment. There's still some new ATs being found, so it might not be as shallow as we predicted. For now, it sucks.

give them a minute. they will overcome. and brawl doesn't suck. take that back:mad:
I enjoy both Brawl and Melee, so I'm not mocking Brawl.
But Melee is better.

Yes it does.

:092:
Yeah, Melee is better.

I'm really bad at it right now. It's been so long. I'm starting to get my skill back...

True.

I'd ask "Why's that?" but I don't want this to become a Melee discussion thread.

So RATS has a cool Sonic, nice tricks, but gets predictable. A little too flashy, but I like it.

You definitely miss understood my post.

10l2understand
I definitely did. lrn2makeconnections. lrn2stop copying other ppl

You said he should start gimping/ASC. Should stop spamming UpB>Dair, spin shot, HA recovery, Fair

WTF? Is that the only way to play? Some Sonics disregard ASC. And yet, they still pwn.

He fights effectively they he is. Don't tell him what he "should or should not" do.

It's funny you say that Box because I just recently picked up IC's. They're just too good.

ICs are amazing. I mained them in Melee, I still love 'em in Brawl. Nana is top tier.

Even without their crazy deathgrabs (which are hard to master, especially since most people don't know to tech any Fairs (or Dthrows? not sure if that works), which can limit the CG options)..... their desync tricks have an insane amount of depth, all their attacks are powerful (Dsmash = most powerful smash in the game LOL), most of their attacks are disjointed (Uair <3), and they have a pretty sweet recovery so long as Nana's around.

Edit: lol, do all Sonic mains secretly play ICs? :laugh:

Edit 2: also, how was tournament?

Me and CiTH tied for first, along with the other two Sonic mains.

No not really.

I got sent to losers first round, I didn't even want to do the tourney, I was there for the money matches. Which is ****ing gay, cause I got picked up an hour earlier than I thought I would have.

But Melee was too good.
