@Ultimate__Ace In Japan, only the winner out of 32 participants gets the serialized Strike Freedom.
This has led to issues with cheating and players teaming up, so there’s been a lot of controversy😅
@kan_sokei Oh, I didn’t know that. Only five is really few…
Does that mean the serial number is out of 005 in your region?
Or do you mean there are only five tournament locations/events where you can get the card?
@kan_sokei If the store itself acts improperly, there’s not much that can be done, so stricter rules may be needed.
In Japan, there also seem to be players teaming up to win and even cheating, so both distribution methods have their own problems.
@OldBoyBokChoi Recently though, it sounds like things have gotten a little worse, possibly because of the Serial Card Challenge and other limited promo distributions.
Please keep sharing anything interesting about the scene over there!
Also… I’m still looking for the Judge Pack Ball 😂
@OldBoyBokChoi I don’t often get the chance to hear directly from players overseas, so this is really interesting and helpful.
I’m more of a collector and casual player, but from the events I’ve attended in Japan, Gundam players seem a bit older and generally well-mannered.
@OldBoyBokChoi Even in Japan, it’s been difficult to participate in events lately, but that sounds like an even bigger problem 🤣
Is Gundam popular over there?
@OldBoyBokChoi@katopeno15 I see 🧐
It’s definitely a difficult issue.
In Japan, the problem currently seems to be more about the players’ lack of sportsmanship and manners, but it’s interesting to see that there are different issues overseas as well. This is really helpful to know.
@Tanukiyasha_LT I see, so there are voices like that as well.
Unfortunately, in Japan, I mostly see complaints about the poor security and bad behavior at these events 🥲
