Yeah I feared the Japanese would go undefeated without much drama, but the USA team not only looked much better from when they lost two games in round robin, but honestly looked completely superior... the only match the Japanese team won in the 4-1 series was one in which they'd been losing up until the very last second and pulled out a miracle. Not sure why the final series was so different from the earlier matches.
I was very surprised, to say the least... I've always enjoyed cheering for Western teams in games like this as, generally, they get absolutely annihilated lol, so it was nice to see one actually perform well. I suppose if there's one area they do well in, though, it's shooters.
Otherwise, I envy how popular this is in Japan after seeing the tournaments they have for it there; this is a very fun game to watch, the players are incredible, and best of all the matches are short and sweet.
