where did the myth of japanese being good at vidya come from?
>their versions of classicvanias were easier than western ones
>their version of OG Resident Evil games were easier than western ones
>majority of SF6 japanese players play on modern
>pretty much no noteworthy pro players
>>
The Japanese are good at everything. That's why you're on a website made by them and for stuff they've made.
>>
>>722618834
never heard about that. i thought this applied to koreans
>>
>>722618834
Probably from arcade games. Arcades are everywhere and were all they had to entertain themselves. Combine that with Japanese autism and yeah

Japan got the true hard Super Mario Bros. 2 years before the west got it as Lost Levels.

koreans are the tryhards

You forgot Catherine as well. JP version was easier. JP version of the FFXII sequel on DS was easier as well

Majority of Japs are turbo ultra casuals that only play mobile shit and are gigantic consumers of gacha.

you get banned for nothing on 4chan nowadays, newfag mods and jannies are ruining the site for everyone
no wonder the site is dying
>>
>>722618834
Pretty much just old fighting games, they had better arcades so they were able to actually compete with each other and improve more regularly before netplay became decent and they'd come to America for EVO and beat western asses, now that's all more or less evened out globally.

Yeah, Battletoads was made SIGNIFICANTLY easier, but that's just because it was an updated version that removed like 30% of the game's obstacles. Absolutely disgusting.

>>722619307
Those arcades had shooters like Gradius, games so hardcore no western player could play them.
>>
>>722618834
Its spillover from Koreans. The only genre Japanese are good at is fighting games. I read somewhere that Japanese pro Apex Legends players play completely every man for himself and their team/talent comp, or whatever, make absolutely no sense.
>>
>>722619401
>games so hardcore no western player could play them.
No, white people have jobs and school and shit. Non-whites dont. White people see someone spend 40 hours a week in an arcade doing nothing but playing tekken 4 and they feel sick to their stomach.
You lost. Your visa is over

>>722619554
Yeah, Japanese salarymen are famous for not working. Especially not extra hours. Dumbass.

>>722618834
the fact for most of the history of video games the only other developer that wasnt in the west was japan until recently

>>722618834
>majority of SF6 japanese players play on modern

This is not true. Modern is more popular there compared to the rest of the world, but the majority still play on classic.

This is not true. Modern is more popular there

>>722618834
They had the right level of challenge. Ameriniggers were used difficulty as a way to jew customers because retailing was popular there unlike in Japan. You'd keep retailing the game over and over since it was so hard.
>>
>>722619802
The word you're looking for is "renting", not "retailing". Retail means selling.

They are ultra casuals for the most part, especially now a day, and prefer getting robotically good at pve single player games like >>722619746. Absolutely no clue how Apex Legends caught on despite being an FPS and pvp.

Yes Ameriniggers bad. You crashed the videogame industry and needed Japs to save it. Now you're doing that again.

Video games weren't an industry. They were an electronic toy for children, and as such became oversaturated, just as your gachapedoslop is now.
>>
>>722619302
You forgot to mention that "nothing" is never discussing video games, and always some off-topic /pol/ retardation that has nothing to do with the board topic. If you're too much of a retarded subhuman to follow the rules, you SHOULD be banned. It's pathetic how /pol/trash think they are somehow immune to societal expectations and that they can selectively decide to ignore rules and act like animals despite them spending every waking moment bitching about minorities doing the same shit.

Nigger the off topic threads are the ones allowed to reach bump limit, discussing videogames is what gets you banned.

>So fucking specific to exclude precisely the moment americans started to be good at sf5 with Punk and Idom, exclude Cloud9 winning at csgo major boston in 2018, exclude SFshock dominance in OW in 2019, exclude apex legends entirely, exclude Valorant entirely which america has dominated since the start of the game, exclude Guity gear strive which was vastly dominated by NA players, exclude SonicFox dominance in netherealm games and defacto exclude MvC, COD and Halo which are games dominated by NA but not played at a global level

Honestly you have my respect, you crafted your question in a way you'd be right no matter what someone could answer. Too bad a 10 years span of 2005-15 is to arbitrary to make any sense at all for the argument.
>>
>>722618834
because americans can't make good games for shit. even the british can make some gems sometimes

Everyone knows Koreans are the real hardcore super gamer chuds. Whenever you see a Korean name in online gaming, just log off right there. It's GG before the match even began.

You mean the ORIGINAL Castlevania? Because you know... THATS FUCKING MADE IN JAPAN and just TRANSLATED for the western market?

Now how about their birthrates

I dunno Japan is a country of incels so obviously they would be better at video games.

Japan excels at productive autismo like no other creed of people on this earth. There's a boomer saying that there's a 12 year old japanese kid who's better than you at everything you do.

Unfortunately, like Tolkien's elves, they're dying out.

>>722619019
It does. Koreans are like japanese except fucking pissed all the time.
>>
>>722618834
It came from the Japanese. They have a natural ego problem in which they think they are the best at everything, so when something is too hard for them, they assume that it will naturally be too hard for the westerners. See games like Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. That's how long this has been going on for.
They are also clueless as to what all the non-Japanese like. They think other cultures are just too unsophisticated to appreciate what they make. See Fire Emblem as an example of this. They didn't release the series in the west for so long because they figured the west just wouldn't understand. They were wrong.
Japan was wrong about both of these things in the past, continues to be wrong about them now, and will continue to be wrong in the future until they get off of their very unwarranted high horse.
>>
>>722623146
They're not the kings of Starcraft anymore and haven't been for a while. They had a headstart because of their absurd obsession with it. Funnily enough, now that they're no longer on top, Korea's interest in the game is waning.
>>

>See Fire Emblem as an example of this. They didn't release the series in the west for so long because they figured the west just wouldn't understand. They were wrong
Considering the franchise was going to die in Japan before awakening came out I have to say japan as well didn't understand Fire Emblem that much. It's even more hilarious when you take into account that FE now is more popular overseas than it ever was in japan.

yeah cool
how come he couldn't dominate back in 2018 when people still (sort of) cared about SC2?
>>
>>722627409
How many EVO fins have?
How many Worlds?
Thank you aleksiB they have one major.
>>
>>722624269
They did this with final fantasy as well. They genuinely believed whiteGODS wouldn't understand rpgs so their first final fantasy was some piece of shit babbys first game
>>
>>722618834
Bigger arcade scene. The western versions of these games are harder only because rentals were allowed in the west but game companies succesfully got them banned in Japan. They didn't want kids completing them using rentals. See Contra Hard Corps for another good example.
>>
metroid and castlevania are japanese games. there aren't japanese versions of them. the original source is not a version
>>
>>722627409
Nobody cares about SC2 tho. Actually nobody cares about RTS at all anymore. Stormgate flopped hard.
>>
>>722621557
He's literally only including this period specifically because it was the return of SF with a proper highlight on top of it with IV, around a time most non-Japanese players either focused on other games, had just returned to the scene or were just kickstarting their career like Punk,on which mind you, you still had multiple Americans, Europeans and non-Japanese Asians competing for EVO and making top 4 consistently.
You also had Justin Wong winning EVO for Mahvel every year, winning EVO on 3rd Strike and Super Turbo and a bunch of other Americans winning or reaching the finals every year except for 2-3.
For the short time Soul Calibur was an EVO entry, you also didnt exactly have 100% Japanese finals either, and the Japanese could never match the Chinese at KOF. Oh, and of course, they only won ONE Tekken EVO in that time period, the rest were won by, whaddya know, Americans and some Koreans.
>>
>>722624525
Korea never really gave a shit about SC2 in the first place, at least not to the degree they the did about BW. BW was big. Blizzard pretty much had to force KeSPA to switch to SC2 and it flopped.
