Japan only loses like 2-3 MUs and those aren't even too bad, Japan is not bad at all... You say this because all your 3 main civs do well vs Japan.
they lose way more and most of those are awful, otto, azzy, russia, brit, china, dutch, spain are all awful MUs, they also have close MUs with france and lose to germany. So i dont see how thats 2-3 MUs :p, people say they werent that strong on previous patches yet they keep getting nerfed.
Otto is close unless it's a 5 tp map. 1 mistake of Otto and you are dead.
Azz, Russia - agree.
Brit - most Japan players say it is close. It is hard to counter ashi without normal skirms.
China is Japan favoured, you can boom with no fear and spam ashi with cannons or naginatas to back them up. China can't make many skirms, has no goons and OP cav is useless vs ashi.
Same goes for Dutch, they have more chances than China imo but you need smart cannon play.
Spain - kill forward tower, make ashi, kill cannons, gg.
France and Germany are close MUs but it requires perfect play from France and Germany. Watch old tournament games (ACERGAME09 vs KaiserKlein, PrinceOfKabul vs Nagayumi).
Japan is a very unique civ. You need different skills to play it compared to other civs and it has great potential, very high skill cap. This is why people like Dyddyd, Kynesie and others who play Japan all the time can win most MUs.
