The #1 ranked player is using Dhalsim.

[C1REX]

I've just found out how to check global leaderboards.

#1 player is Mister Crimson with 58000 LP using Dhalsim.
There is another Dhalsim at #7 and #22.

Quite a surprise for me.

Here is the leaderboards

What a scrubquote from jmcroft lmao.

Mr.Crimson was already a good Sim player in SFV, got good results and not only in EU, you can check his results here : https://liquipedia.net/fighters/Mister_Crimson

US said the same during COVID about french DBFZ meta/players and well...you know the rest.
Tbh in EU some streamers says the same about US and how everyone is a scrub and so it's easier to get to high rank online.
Still a scrubquote, wherever it's said.

We'll have to wait for big tournaments instead of online rank grinding to get a real tierlist / informed opinion about the state of the game anyway.

I think it's just the typical US vs EU. You see it everywhere, it's probably just a meme at this point, comparable to fans of sports teams hating on each other or rivals.

What streamer said that lol

Europe is a really strong region

Okay yeah if jmcrofts said that, it was probably just a joke or a quick jab at them. Nothing serious

NA vs EU had a 10v10 exhibition last Evo for SFV. EU won 10-6

That rivalry will never end

[Ahriman]

Mister Crimson is a very strong player.

[Powercrank]

here is the tournament with english commentary if anyone cares

Sim is trash, make his MP Drive impact cancelable.

[Milicona]

Dhalsim isn't a bad character, only bad in the wrong hands, which is most hands.

[xxx RIP xxx]

It is extremely hard to play Dhalsim let alone master him.

[C1REX]

I don't know how this guy can play him on a pad. His thumb must be made of steel.
The challenge with Dhalsim is that no other character needs so much qcf inputs. He does it even for movements - teleport.

[Tyrone Biggums]

sim is not hard to play hes quite easy if u know how to use his teleports and air movement well

Just few years ago people were talking that there is no good Tekken players in Europe until Super Akouma from France started to destroy people.

There are no good tekken players in europe. It's a really strange game, regionwise though; NA is comparable to or better than japan (not on average, for sure, but in terms of number of top players), top 2 are korea and middle east, and europe has no good players.
Super Akuma isn't destroying anyone either lol. People really be counterpicking him with his own character and he gets blown up. He had like half a year of mild success when the middle east blew up akuma and people started to actually play the character to his strengths, but now that the matchup is better known and people pick chars with good options for the matchup SA doesn't win anything.

you need Capcom ID I think to check it.

matchmaking is broken and you only fight people who live near you so hes probably farming people since winstreaks give huge point boosts

There seems to be no win streak bonus from platinum and up. Also France has strong FGC from what I know.

I remember watching a vid on youtube and this streamer said that Mr.Crimson doesn't matter because he's in Europe, so everyone's weak and such.

Is European fighting scene the worst?

In SFV, Europe was considered better than the US in general but the US had two players (Idom and Punk) that were considered better than all but the best Japanese players. So whether Europe or US was stronger depended on whether you meant who had the strongest player or who had more players at the highest skill level.

[takerhey]

for my testing, Asia server have more pro players than US/EUR servers, I beat up Platinum players easily in EUR server, while in Asia server, I hardly beat challenger status players lol
