There's some good players from Japan but tbh, there's good players from all regions. The big issue here really is that many players from Japan pick 1 or 2 shot weapons such as rollers, snipers, and sloshers and the lag on Nintendo's servers causes them to take more hits then they should to kill them. Because of this, I actually switched to using the Gal .96 Deco from the N-Zap. I've noticed a huge difference and now have a fighting chance against good players with quick killing weapons and lots of lag.
