Japan has one advantage, that on a small area (comparing to other regions like EU or US) you have many player. However, we can copy that anytime in US or EU, or even beat it. ^_^

Yeah, with REVO having decent online, I think that finally gives NA an opportunity to close the gap, if players are dedicated enough. The scene in NA is so spread out,geographically, between a few pockets in different cities that rarely got to compete against one-another. Meanwhile, the population density in Japan is so high that there's no lack of ability to play other competition at a high level. Japan obviously has historically had a larger, more dedicated scene, but I am fully onboard for some regional NA VF team battles. I'd really like to see that become a reality.

This dude was awesome to watch play. I knew (had a strong feeling) he was going to win after watching his first match. He was on a different level.

My favorite moment was when he did that big "WOOOOOOO!" after winning one of those matches against Itizan (I think it was) while looking at him, lol. Dude was on fire.
