I disagree, culture plays a huge role in a variety of ways.
Search "yamada niceplay" on Youtube.
Sounds like stereo typing to me. American's have the same amount of skill as the Japanese players or maybe even better. In japanese culture they put a lot of effort into working and schooling over there, therefore, they do not have enough time to play brawl. American's don't have as much time demanding school schedules and work schedules, for the most part. That's why the american's are more polished in playing this game.
dont make assumptions based on stereotypes, please. most of the players i know either dont work or study, or do very little of either. and thats factual.
(threads in the workshop)
I've seen some of them (learned how to type Lucario in japanese to do this lol)
That does bring up an interesting point. Are there actually any major brawl hack projects going on overseas anywhere, or are they all local stuff. A few twix here and there. Without access to a major database like SWF, I would think that any brawl projects like that are actually rather small. And typically held within a local community instead of open access like here in SWF.Very interesting OP. I'd love to see some up to date videos of them. Can you ask them what they think of my Waluigi project?
Yes. He still has no range.
sorry, i havent seen either. ill keep my eyes peeled. although im pretty sure dk struggles with both camp foxes and pits, so it might explain why he's so low.
i havent even seen texture hacks here, so i doubt any real use of them. although i will ask.Very interesting OP. I'd love to see some up to date videos of them. Can you ask them what they think of my Waluigi project?
fantastic idea. that being said, they already know most of our best players (m2k, ally, lain, etc) and have seen how they play. but i will make the proposition.
as i said to cs, there doesnt seem to be.
foxes nair goes for ages (punish spotdodges and airdodges), cancels very quickly, has very little knockback (sourspot), comes out in 4 frames and has decent hitstun. it links combos and strings mainly when ff, cause you can follow with a grab or whatever and try it again. things like that.
I'm pretty sure Wong and Daigo are compared so often because their games are so close. I know Daigo wins every time but they're close games.
This is taking cultural truisms and applying it to people's attitudes. Stereotypes develop from those truisms, so it's more cultural psychology then anything else.
Watch his videos, he doesn't do it just to be flashy, he applies them when they are useful. But regardless, I was mainly just continuing with this sentiment because people are spewing their guts about how "flashy" Japanese players are and I have really yet to see it.
The thing is, just because you apply flashy techs efficiently doesn't mean there aren't people who apply basic techs more efficiently and therefore is better.
I also want JP video's? the only one's i have seen is Masashi's Pit and he *****.
I wouldn't say that no one does anything flashy. I've seen disk play and he's pretty flashy maybe it was just because of his opponent being bad but he was doing things that just wouldn't work normally.
you don't understand swordgard
I said it before, and I'll say it again. Being Asian is not a freaking superpower. There is no real reason why the top players in Japan should be head and shoulders above the top players in America. They evidently play differently. "Better" or "worse" don't make sense in this context since the metagames are so different, one clearly needs to play differently to win in that scene.
