japanese tourney performance list.

[HeroMystic]

If you wanna take a look at JP vids. Go to the ganon boards. They have a bunch of different characters.

I personally think their Snakes are awesome.

 

[crescentia]

can anyone say, old news is old

seriously

seriously

I did asked how old it was, lol. But seriously, I don't like their how they use Kirby. D:

 

[mc4]

it's cool to see people play to test what they are capable of instead of a win at all cost chain grab shoot you to death style that we see in most if not all competitive play here in u.s

There, videos from the biggest Japan tourney so far. A bit old, but better than the Zentore/Nyosuke videos
Stop making sweeping generalizations about an entire country based of videos from May
Oh and theres a thread EXACTLY like this in the tactical forum right now

 

[Diddy2k8]

The metagame over there is completely different then ours. They actually fight while US just camps and chain grabs all match. It's a totally different game over there.

 

[Onomanic]

I wanna see some Link vids. XD

 

[Xenesis]

Hrm, that tournament is interesting. They seem to run all kinds of settings.

 

[shadyf0o]

They play furociously

 

[IxxI]

Go Snake.
10C4's

 

[AAP]

man i wish captain jack would go back to DK. some of his DK vids from melee were the whole reason i wanted to play the big ape. Seems like he's pretty into that cross dressing princess, how do u turn your back on an Ape with a tie?

 

[akkon888]

CaptainJack(Sheik) vs Maasashi(Ike) was absolutely epic. Plus, the Fox and Falco game was one of the best games I have seen. I am glad Falco made it as high as he did. Down MK.

 

[Onomanic]

Wow Link ranks remarkably well in Japan. O_o I wonder what their secret is.....

 

[Affinity]

@Brinboy: Take down my vid of Japan's May Chara ranking. It's old and completely outdated.

 

[SothE700k]

Huh. Their "OMGWTF" tier character Fox didn't rank S...

-_- When will there ever be an international tournament? Wait till they see us chaingrab, shield grab, and spam them to hell XD

[Shiroi]

Yay for TL!
He's a B. xD

Hate to disagree with most of you, japanese melee players absolutely destroyed american melee players not even a comparison, Fumi or captainjack christ. Besides any good gamer knows that you learn more from attacking more, if people had the attitude attack less play defensive the shine combo's in melee wouldn't exist. Play 100% aggressively and your prediction skills will increase way more than your shield spacing game imo.

What are you talking about?

Fumi never played against American players except maybe friendlies with Ken.

The only time Japanese melee players showed they were ahead of us was when Captain Jack visited in 2004 (beat Chu, lost to Azen) and placed 2nd at TG6 and 1st at an early MLG (beat Isai.) That was only one player.

Besides that, Japanese players who showed up here did not do as well as American players. S-royal got 5th at NCT2 (beating some good players like Isai). Shu and Hiko did very well at OC2 and made top 10, but were still beaten out by our top players like KDJ and Ken and Mew2King. Ken won at Jack Garden.

We're ahead, silly! Even if just by a little (though many would claim that we are "way" ahead. I'd disagree with that. Shu, Aniki, Hiko, Mach, Masashi, and other players were all very good.)

Anyway, that's Melee. Most of them play Brawl now.

They certainly would not be shocked in any way lol

Watch Ikki's DDD vs Aniki's Wario fron seven months ago...Ikki chaingrabs and also grab release usmashes Aniki. And also camps w/Waddle Ds lol

 

[Nicole]

Fox is A TIER?!?! I guess no one plays Pika over in Japan...

Yea and when american players start going to japan to play you'll see what happens lol...
Japanese brawlers looking amazing btw, moreso than u.s imo

Dude this is incredibly outdated.

 

[mostwins]

Well I'm not even sure that list is legit. so this whole thread could be based on a lie.

Who are you to judge unless you've played against such playstyles let alone those players? You need to be a really experienced and skilled player to judge skill off videos. That said... Japanese Metaknights don't even come close to ours.
