Also i remember kel saying thins like CGs are banned so ICs are low
no infinites are currently banned in any mainstream tournies in japan. including ics cgs, d3 infinites (samus, dk, etc).
So, I have to ask, where is their smashboards equivilent? Basically their largest competative smash site.
http://smacom.so-netsns.jp
although its more like a smash myspace website; you make friends, look at their bulletins, and respond. not an open forum like smashboards. this mean no sbr equivalent, no official tier list or mu figures. everything is spoken about between groups of friends. no the best way to do things, but we gotta live with it.
and you need a japanese phone email address (that can receive mail) so no one outside japan can join. gg.
What are their Match-up Threads like? Any unbelievable matchups?
as stated, they dont have any. any particular mus you want opinions on, ill ask.
A smasher you know creator that tier list? 0_o that doesn't sound very good..
like i said, they dont have an overarching tier list. this one was agreed upon by a group of 5 or 6 smashers all in japan's top 30. there would be a few other lists in circulation, but they are mostly similar (the big differences are still the big differences).
Speaking just between the diff in American vs Ausi: at Genesis Ausi got totaled in crew battles. I watched Vyse's Diddy a lot and he was roughly 6 months behind where the US top Diddy's were at.
please note that australia's one, two and three were not present at the said crew battle. and that was a long time ago anyway...
I doubt it, because the Japanese don't seem to really have any techniques that we don't. Also, the Australian community is on SWF so they know pretty much every technique that the American community does.
yeah things like this... they didnt know samus or captain falcon had infinites on rob... and there is stuff that works the other way round. not necessarily infinites or similar, but tactics and playstyles (i saw a wolf doing some crazy stuff on the ledge that ive never even see JJ do...).
It's silly to attempt to compare the U.S.' metagame to Japan's. Until some of their top players come over here, or vice versa, we can only speculate. Speculation gets us nowhere.
I'd like more details about is this, personally:
Am I wrong to say that the top American players aren't doing this to a great extent?
The OP's comments about Japanese players' "perfect spacing" is an assertion that can't be substantiated right now. A statement about their ability to SDI perhaps could be backed up.
I'm not trying to compare each nations' players to one another. <_<
I'm just here to learn.
havent seen mikehaze anywhere near consistently ds out of tornado, nor m2k consistently sdi upward in blizzard and counter with a dair, making the move very dangerous to use.
You have no idea how rampant Pikachu is running about.
i actually havent seen any yet. doesnt change the fact that fox can take on the top tiers, while he seriously struggles to deal with marth, who actually is everywhere...
