There may be a Japanese SSF2 scene in some capacity, but it has not proven why it deserves its place on the tier list page. The source of the tier list is sketchy, tournaments for their scene have apparently stopped, and there is doubt that these people are even real and not just alt accounts. I checked the Japanese video hosting website, NicoNico, for videos about SSF2 and this is what I got:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/search/%20%E3%8 ... =0&opt_md= . No tournament gameplay here. This post has been up for a week, and there is still debate on whether it exists or not. It should be taken down until the Japanese scene can provide a reason for them to be taken seriously and proof of their existence.
Also, to Starkiller, you couldn't think of anyone Machiavellian enough to go through all this trouble? Did you forget about Monte, the guy who is literally known for blackmailing a guy to make him give up his beta DATs. A person who has repeatedly made alt account after alt account, going as far to steal and use pictures of Asian boys and French girls in order to make him look more legitimate. The person who altered his tournament results SEVEN MONTHS AFTER and deleted it after I called him out on it. There is no way to know whether or whether not he did it, but to say that there is no one that devious is a lie.
Thank you very much for the discussion everybody. @Dark Ermac, if it's possible, could you tell the Vendetta player to come here and share some information? It would be interesting to see if he could help us.
