VODs of GER vs JAP

Post by ProjectW »

I have yet to come across a VOD of GER beating JAP (high level play). Everyone says JAP is balanced and GER vs JAP is a balanced MU but maybe I just haven't looked hard enough. So can someone please point me to such a VOD? Preferably from tournament play.

Also any tips of on how to deal with japan in genera. I've tried everything. Killing their monks with spies and denying shrines but then they just age up to fortress behind a wall and push with disciplined ashi mass and 2 flaming arrows, very hard to deal with.

Thanks

If they make ashis in age 3 it is worth it to make an arsenal and research Counter infantry Rifling. They'll drop like flies!

Ashis can hardly be kited, their speed is a very good bonus
Consider not the one who speaks the truth, but the truth that is said

Yesh especially when u put that cheat wonder on speed. It's like one mistake and the ashis will tear apart everything u got.

I dont know why people say this mu is harder for germany than japan. If japan makes one small mistake they lose to germany's timing, and germany is in complete control of the game tempo. Maybe if you are just wall spamming as japan it is 'harder' for the germany side but assuming the map isnt shit germany then takes the whole map and still wins. I would much rather be germany in this mu than japan on most tp maps

There are better vids to watch than this one for this mu, but I remember enjoying this game:

Merc rush and xbow/pike rush work for me. That's 1Lt level though and I don't know if it applies high level.

Let's see. Last 10 games, I'm 7/10 vs your japan. Maybe 'keep' has a different meaning in your dictionary.
