#i see too many memes about defeating JP players in lobbies like its an achievement

Need Splatoon players to stop being scared of seeing Japenese players in their lobbies. Yes, Japanese players are better than players anywhere else at the TOP LEVEL of competitive play, but even at that, they don't always win. Those people are not the people you're fighting in your turf war/anarchy/x battles. When you encounter Japanese players in your lobbies, they are on the exact same ranking system you are. The game is going to try to match you up with people who are close to your skill level. Even though there's not a visible ranking system in turf war the game is still keeping track trying to give you fair matches. The biggest issue you'll probably face when playing Japanese players is some lag or connection issues, as these occur whenever you're playing someone incredibly far away from your location.

TLDR; stop being scared of Japanese players in your lobbies, they are the same skill level as you and everyone is just here to have a good time
