Experience with Japanese players

[Spuro]

How are people like Koreans and Japanese so good at video games? I dont get how they get that good, but mabye thats because I dont take anything truly hardcore serious.....

I think its more of a culture thing, as in that video gaming is more socially accepted as a positive recreational activity compared to other parts of the world.

Basically they have a large pool of players and they generally don't frown upon anything "cheap." Generally, everything goes when it comes to the Japanese. So either adapt or die. I recommend people to try play there if they can. It can be eye opening.

lol, I see we have the same mindset then, as I play the same way. My other general philosiphy is that if you think something is cheap, you just dont know how to beat it. My main problem is my memory, where I forget some of the moves while im actually fighting, and then ill remember them after the match, or ill just suddenly remember or forget some of the better punishing attacks or something like that.

ppl play sc in japan? I heard in comparison to all the Dojin fighters, guilty gear, VF and Tekken, Soul cal doesn't really have a place.

It's got a small, hardcore, dedicated following there. Most of the players in the SC scene there have been playing from at least SC2.
