what makes Asians so good at video games?

[mike_thecoli]

They probably take it more seriously (not like a hobby or something to do for entertainment) and as a result it might be a real source of pride.

asian excellence

Asians were never better than the US when it came to Marvel.

US has also caught up to Asians when it comes to SF. It can go either way now.

It's shyt like Starcraft that they have on lock (idk about LoL).

Europeans run PC shooters and the US runs console shooters.

1st statement is 100% truth. US always dominates Marvel.

I wouldn't go so far with the 2nd statement, US is more competitive, but as a whole Asia still got SF on lock. The recent 5v5 US vs World was dominated by Korea and Japan. Not sure if US has ever won SF @ EVO, don't feel like looking it up.

They play those games an absurd amount of time. Like they will spend 10 hours in the SF4 practice mode just perfecting their timing.

Americans caught up to Asians at least on the fighting game scene. A black dude named Dieminion beat Japan's champion with Guile in street fighter 4 and made it to top 8 this year's evo. Mike Ross, Dieminion and Puerto Rican Balrog>>>

The first USA crews back in the SF2 days could have easily crushed the Japs. Look up Tomo and Schaffer.

MVC is a button masher imo. I skip over those in tourney vids.

You can tell he's spent too much time on forums and using the same tough talk people use on here in real life

[up in here]

you also gotta take into consideration just how many of them motherfukkers are out there, theres like a billion people in asia right? with a large gaming community, just the cream of the crop would probably outnumber or match any other gaming community in the world

Consoles are banned in china
