Westerners know how to play, but the culture of extreme high scores, where you play the same game your whole life to excel, exists only in Japan and to a lesser extent in China. Western results, except for a few rare cases, are the result of a "normal" dedication both in terms of the hours of training spent and the skills that can be achieved. The best Western players are all close in terms of their results. It is easy to spot someone who does things much higher than average. Because those who have been following the scores published on all the sites for 30 years know what has been done. Evidently you do not frequent other forums or sites where high scores are discussed and therefore you know nothing about these things and above all you do not know that some of the results you have published are unattainable for Western players. No one in the West has achieved an ALL PERFECT at Fatal Fury Special. And this corresponds to your score with Andy of 2,307,000. As for World Heroes 2, that result is so high that it is not even achieved with an ALL PERFECT adding a scheduled defeat in the third round. You have to do things that only the best Japanese players do (double KO and more, And do you want to know how many Western players use the double KO in World Heroes 2? I answer without a doubt: none).

I think those posts are being massively ignored because noone serious about competition would ever post scores made on anything else than MVS anyway. Plus OP is locked out of his own account and stuck in the fart room forever 
The high score arcade topic is dead in the western world and almost no one follows any discussion on the forums anymore. I know this well. Matt (BBH) is no longer following this discussion and is busy with live on Youtube. However, I still follow the high scores and I think it is right to give clarifications if anyone is still doing some activity.I think those posts are being massively ignored because noone serious about competition would ever post scores made on anything else than MVS anyway.

Sure thing; I wasn't claiming the opposite, if that wasn't clear.

I will. Have to see what scoremachanics are in the game. I just wanted to finish it so I could get the 1cc bonus on my high score website.
