Kowloon 9 CREW BATTLE - Team World Vs. New Japan - Smash Ultimate - SSBU 

Japan has a stronger roster imo but World would win because they have the player match up advantage. Currently Japan has no answer for Sonix. Japan has a hard time to beat specifically Sparg0, Sonix and Light usually. Id imagine they would need Shuton or Yaura for Sonix. Whereas World has multiple answers for each player Acola - Sparg0/Sonix/MuteAce Miya - Sparg0/Sonix/MKLeo/Dabuz Yaura - Light/Dabuz/Glutonny Tea - Riddles/MKLeo KEN - Sparg0/Sonix/Light Asimo - Sonix/Riddles/Tweek Hurt, Yoshidora, Kameme and Shuton are the bigger question marks for sure Whereas Japan’s matchups are either uncertain or less winning combos: Sonix - No answer Sparg0 - Yaura is prob best bet Glutonny - Acola/Miya/Tea Zomba - Miya/Yaura/Shuton/KEN Light - Miya Tweek - Acola/Miya MKLeo - Acola/Shuton Riddles - Miya Dabuz - Acola MuteAce - Tea/Miya/KEN As a lot of them havent really faced off against each other, its kind of based entirely on matchups and how players do against these matchups in their own region (like Gluto > Yaura logic is Gluto > Sisqui). But you can see how the majority of the winning matchups for JP rely on Miya and Acola. World’s is more diverse giving them the edge when counterpicking. Id imagine JP’s strategy is to take out the most troublesome players for other JP with specific targets like Sonix - Maybe Tea or Shuton? Sparg0 - Yaura Light - Miya Gluttony - Tea MKLeo - Shuton Riddles - KEN Acola Anchor Lets compare a probable strategy for World: Acola - Sparg0 Miya - Dabuz/MKLeo KEN - Light Yaura - Glutonny/Dabuz Asimo - Tweek/Riddles Sonix Anchor This is much more flexible in comparison

If we play out this hypothetical, then JP starts out with one of these: Hurt, Yoshidora, Kameme And World starts with one of these: Zomba, Tweek, MuteAce since they are less necessary for winning matchups Lets say these play out pretty evenly but Japan has a 2 stock lead leaving Yoshidora with 2 stocks World will probably send in Glutonny. Probably goes about even and Gluto has 1 stock left Then its basically following the strategy from here: 1 Gluto vs 3 Tea = 3 Tea left 3 Tea vs 3 Riddles = 1 Riddles left 1 Riddles vs 3 Yaura = 3 Yaura left 3 Yaura vs 3 Dabuz = 2 Dabuz 2 Dabuz vs 3 Shuton = 2 Shuton left 2 Shuton vs 3 Light = 2 Light left 2 Light vs 3 Miya = 2 Miya left 2 Miya vs 3 MKLeo = 1 MKLeo left 1 MKLeo vs 3 Asimo = 2 Asimo left 2 Asimo vs 3 Sparg0 = 2 Sparg0 left 2 Sparg0 vs 3 KEN = 1 KEN left 1 KEN vs 3 Sonix = 3 Sonix left 3 Sonix vs 3 Acola = World Wins This is just one way it can play out, but even if Japan was leading which is probable considering they have the stronger team, in the end, World outmatches them because of the matchups of the best players of each team & because the anchors are in the favor of World regardless if it was Sparg0 or Sonix. Both can clutch and beat Japan’s two potential Anchors easily (Miya or Acola)

@@KakinTseGamePlayer Why would Riddles be an answer for Asimo? Jazzho destroyed Riddles at Rise&Grind last year. Ken/Ryu are seen as having the advantage in the matchup against Kazuya or Terry.

​@@KakinTseGamePlayer Kameme and Shuton are decent picks into Sonix and like you said some of the players here are a question mark like Hurt. also i think you're underselling some of the JP players as counterpicks. like for Light you only said Miya even though Acola Asimo and Shuton also do well into him

I mean, you could just look at the actual head to heads but I guess fanfic is more fun for you. @@KakinTseGamePlayer

Thanks! Gotta watch me some more of that godlike puff Senra

Lmao @ Zomba getting 2 stocked by that puff.

He didn’t do too bad but Gluttony should’ve been last

@@Phoenix-dp9up he did not even win his game

it isn't for you
