I want to see them win but yeah the USA chant, especially during Blazeblue yesterday, felt awkward and in bad taste.

It doesn't feel awkward in the room at all. Everyone gets into it. Stop being babies.

You guys don't think the foreign players aren't playing with national pride waving their flags around?

People also cheer for other thinks like there were tokido and yipes chants too.

I have been in the room, quite a few times and it's always felt that way to me. You feel differently about that, it's okay for people to have opposing opinions on it.

I just think it's funny because it's an Anime game.

Edit: Just looking through Smedwicks Twitter. Was watching and talking about one of my videos. *Feels special*

Here you're letting it affect who you want to win. Snakeeyes has nothing to do with the chant why root against him because of that?

Edit that wasn't you. My mistake.

People always confuse the chanting with nationalism when it has more to do with regionalism and cheering for the underdog. I mean, I'm sure there are some people who are legitimately feeling patriotic, but that's a weird thing to feel about fighting games. At least I think it is.

Some guys just want to feel like someone from their neck of the woods can take on the world. Others want to see the horse they bet on go all the way.

Yeah... It's honestly kind of a bummer that more folks from other countries don't do the same thing. Whenever Korean players win tournaments and they take out a Korean flag and start waving it around, I have to give them the slow clap; I love seeing that kind of enthusiasm.

People cheer for USA in Marvel.

The only chants yesterday were Yipes.

People cheer USA when an underdog American is playing regardless of game. If anyone not named fchamp or chrisg were playing nemo they'd cheer in marvel. If it's champ playing abegen no one is cheering USA.

Can't speak for everyone, but some of these guys...
N-Man and Dogura have a long history with Guilty Gear.
N-Man was the top venom, developed most of the tech for him, and dominated with him. Venom was relatively underused, so his Venom was always a treat to watch. He switched into BlazBlue around the time +R came out and is the premier Rachel.
Dogura played several characters throughout the history of Guilty Gear, most notably Robo Ky. He also has a history with Street Fighter too, I think he played Bison. But like N-O, made Chrono Phantasma his main game and plays a godlike Azrael.

Dora's been playing BlazBlue since Calamity Trigger, and always stuck with Bang.
He's the best Bang player ever, and he's generally great to watch. He is also a ninja.
