They need to translate the game first. heh. It’s not on the Japanese stores as of yet. Anyway just started playing so if you want a newb to beat up on hit me up. haha
The only 2 ppl i played last night both got like 20+ wins on me…
If there is someone to play… best do it cause training mode gets boring after a few hours…

About the translation, that is not a hard task for the amount of dialog in SG, plus on DL they already had a translation gig going… but they were asking members of DL to volunteer, meaning there were most likely budget/priority issues.
They have a couple Japanese people on board but I don’t know if they are Japanese or not.
Great game, looking forward to the new characters and development, more than happy to pay for a few DLCs as the initial release was CHEAP and worth three fold, but the debut of the game seemed poorly organized. (SEEMED)
Wothout going into the foreign market talk (as put my thoughts out regarding Japan on DL), I would assume that getting SG on varrious regions of PSN/XBL must be stressful and time consuming due to the M$ and $ONY drones… so a US only release may have been more logical and profitable.
Loving the game BTW!

So how was it? I had to work yesterday so i missed out.

Was great. Skull girls got 34 entrants. I got top 4
I had wanted to go to Japan since a very young age…and in college I even minored in English and worked in my school’s writing lab as a tutor for 3 years to make myself more eligible for jet and other programs …I ended up graduating and never even getting an interview with jet and the aeon “interview” was a total fiasco…so I just got a job with the us government and worked for a while.
When my government project ended I had saved up a good bit of cash and decided to do it the hard way…I was going to go to Japan and get a job there.
I booked a flight for the day after my project ended and paid my deposit for a sakura house room…this gave me an address in Tokyo.
Now at this point, I had a lot of questions even after a little research. I got a lot of different advice from different people and I got a lot of conflicting reports from different people. Some said its easy finding a job some said chances are “slim to none.” I decided I would try my luck and find out for myself.
As directed by several sources, I looked up ads on Dave’s ESL cafe and ohayosensei about two weeks before I left for Japan. The long of April is a good time to search (as well as August) because they are at school semester intervals.
Note about ad hunting: many ads will say they require a variety of things. The most common are
a) must currently reside in Japan
b) must hold worker’s visa
c) must have EXPERIENCE
d) tesol / tefl cert
If you are like I am/was, all you have is your bachelor’s degree. In my case I have a b.s. in biology minoring in chemistry and English (which I got in 4 years 
) this is fine…you may feel inadequate reading al these descriptions of what employers want and such but the truth is all you need is one company to tell you yes …remember that.
It’s important to find ads that claim they will sponsor your workers visa. His is of course, your true desire as it is your ticket to stay in Japan and find work freely. Once you have one, getting a job becomes much simpler, since employers want to hire someone quickly without having to sponsor someone from overseas. Getting a workers visa takes time, and as we all know in business time is money.
Anyway, look at some of these listing sites to get an idea of what you need to submit to apply. The most common items I found were as follows:
Prepare these items
A) a resume …remember Japan is a fairly conformist society so don’t make your resume stand out…focus on content rather than attractiveness. If you can make reservations at a sakura house or have a place to stay in Japan, use that address to give the employer the idea that you are acquainted with Japanese lifestyle and that you are in the country
B) cover letter
The cover letter should be concise and to the point…this is not a personal statement but a cover letter to enclose your references and resume with. Google examples if need be to get the idea
C) photo
A tasteful photo of yourself dressed nicely. ( I used college graduation photos)
D) a short list of professional references with emails and phone numbers
Once you have these tools, simply go through your ads and adjust your resumes and cover letters to address that specific job ad. Email the requested items (usually the above 4 items sometimes more sometimes less)
I emailed over 22 ads in one night and heard back from 4… the next day! One of hose 4 gave me interviews over the next 4 days and what actually happened was I didn’t get the position I applied for. However, I did so well in the interviews that the director reapplied my information for another position in the company that had JUST opened up…and I got it. 7 days later I landed in Japan and started work.
You don’t need certifications you don’t need hookups you don’t need jet or to dive across the country for bullshit aeon “interviews.”
You do need time effort and motivation…and an email account. Using these tools you can find work in Japan too!

bumped to first post.
Good job Jazz, congrats! It’s not easy to get a job within that time frame but I figured that English teaching would be the easiest way to get the job and the visa that you were looking for.
And yes… my shit talk is in my face…
Must mean my friends had no motivation to get monies…

To be perfectly honest, I would say that the large majority of foreigners in Japan that are from western countries (US, Canada, Europe, Aus, etc.) lack any type of real motivation to do anything. They basically have the exact opposite of the typical immigrant work ethic.
I appreciate it my dude…keep the site going and i hope to meet all of you guys at the next event or gathering …mark those calendars for mbaacc godsgarden and sbo when its annoinced
Cmon parry u know i didnt mean it that way…and I didn’t take what you said as shit talk either I appreciate you simply sharing your opinion/perspective…Im not criticizing your friends motivations or anything what I’m trying to say is they should be earnest and keep chugging Apps out. I’m sure your people are responsible and present themselves well. They just got frustrated I’m sure…that’s when you come in and get them back in the grind
The truth is you are right…it isnt easy getting a job in jp…even in ny case i looked through my outbox and i actually sent 23 apps out…and got 4 returns…do the math that’s ~17%…obviously its not EASY but the thing is its just like job hunting anywhere else…you only need ONE TO TELL YOU YES…I got turned down by plenty before these guys gave me the time of day
at any rate its a pleasure to join u guys on this foreign land and I look forward to good games and meeting you all in the near future
Peace
