At one point early on, (when JJ games were still released in the US..[grrrr! Darn you Epic Megagames!]) many, if not most of the players were from North America, but since TSF, I'd say most of the North American players have fallen away (I think, in my own little world)x.x





Remember that all JJ games (except HH98) were released in Europe first (the current JDC champion is european, too, btw .

But seriously, its complete nonsense that, "since" or because of TSF, the number of players from North America has decreased. Its more like a lot of new players from Europe joined. My guessing is that the balance always was like 50% America, 50% Europe at 1.23 times...it may have changeed to 40/60 or even 30/70 when TSF came out, thats right.
