Japan > North America when it comes to playing fighting games.

Blazblue, what a game - and like any game it's sucess really hinges on the multiplayer.  Clearly the best time to play this or any other fighting game online is right now, past midnight in North America.  Right now its still pretty early in the Land of the Rising Sun.  I've have had a ton of excellent fights against Taokakas, Arakunes, Litchies...man one really amazing LItchie I fought 3 times in an hour, it was embaressing, she won every single fight.

I find fights during 'the day' or when North America is playing is still good but Japanese people > Canadians/Americans playing this game.  They know how to play Jin and not be cheap about it, they can destroy you with NU and they can make Taokaka incredible.  Specifically they have honour - they dont drop any matches, they always have their voices set to Japanese, they always let the full intro and outro go even when the fight is over and you happen to win.  I have not found any of them to use Tager but that might be just me.

Even in Street Fighter 4 - while you'd get the Ken spams of North America, a player from Japan took the character seriously and I never had maybe only one total fierce shuryuken total per match with them.  I always looked for Japanese prefered rooms in Street Fighter 4 just because of this, the fights were a lot more mature and interesting.

What do you guys think about this, am I just nuts or do we just suck at playing fighting games?  Or games in general?

On a side note, is this just me but does it seem like both the rage quitter and the rage quit-e are both punished in Blazblue?  I noticed my incomplete games now is at 2 - one from earlier in the day when it said "lost connection" during the fight, which I only could assume he dropped/quit from the fight.  The second happened when I quit the fight when I for some reason challenged a dude whos name was all in red.  Not knowing what this means (this means guy is prone to rage quitting) he, I assume, quit during the match and then my screen froze but the game was still going, the music in the background.  I had control of the guide and I sat there for about a minute until I quit to the dashboard.  So now I'm at 2 but I definently never quit ever boys and girls, dont worry.
