That's a hard question lol
From what I can see, what's different between our scenes are :
-the activeness -> we speak different languages in each state so there's like 2 foreigners per tourney... And of course, less tourneys because of it.
-The gayness -> 90% of us refuse to plank, infinite or play MK/Snake even if it's allowed (our top player is a MK, but he already won tourneys with GaW so we don't care)
-The level ; we have had the game for 6 less months, and the non-activeness doesn't help. That's why SWF is important to me, you guys are more experienced than I could be even if I geeked on brawl for 1 month non-stop. That'd be fun to do a Europe vs North America crew battle though, just to see how deep or small the gap is =O
-The jokes, of course =O
Edit : yeah, BI's ruleset sucks, but there's no other way yet =/
