Honestly as a Filipino, the anime is the exact reason Greninja was popular. He was extremely overhyped. Even people outside the Pokemon community knew who Greninja was because of how overhyped he was. Also the fact that the Pokemon anime aired a lot here and still does, it usually airs after school and is what we'd watch after a long hard day of studying. I know this is super late and you probably already got the answer, but I just wanted to type down my input.
That is true for India too, but they only aired older episodes on tv. Suddenly at that time pokemon xy was aired and everyone was hyped about greninja as he was Ash's pokemon. And kids were into pokemon cards too.
If you choose kirby that doesn't necessarily mean you're not filipino. Filipinos have freedom to pick anyone.The data is just saying that filipinos are 3rd for picking greninja @Be Yourslef
Well. As a Kirby main I must say, I use him for the flame hammer and swapping charterers. It’s just op in my opinion along with short bursts of flight. I mean ofc he’s popular and also the first fighter in story mode. So he would be more likely for those who played story first.

Greninja is probably popular in those countries because of the heavy reliance on Japanese media in comparison to local media. A lot of the kids shows there are regional dubs of anime, a lot of which contains references to ninja (i.e. Naruto, Ninja Hattori-kun). This leads to more of a sense of familiarity with ninja. Furthermore, the reliance on anime also leads to a heavy exposure to Pokémon. These two factors are probably the reason behind Greninja’s popularity.
Plus, Pokemon as a multimedia franchise would be the Nintendo property they have the most exposure to, along with the existence of Ash-greninja making him feel more special than most of the other pokemon in Smash

Makes sense. I'm biologically and self-identified male, but I have behavioral tendencies that are both masculine and feminine. I've been playing SSB since the Gamecube era with Melee, and Link is still one of my favourite characters. Though lately I have been gravitating toward Sephiroth more as a DLC character whose recovery is absolutely amazing because he can ledge hop from his sword.
I can feel the excitement of the editors radiating out of my screen when they realised that they can use the Smash transition as many times as they like.
@@The_D0C70R Pichu is one of the best characters in the game. It's small (hard to hit), fast, has a very good projectile, ridiculous combo game, very good recovery, fantastic edgeguarding and multiple reliable methods of taking stocks. If you're unconvinced, watch top Pichu players like Void or RFang, both of whom were at the most recent major tournament, Ultimate Summit 2.
As a Zelda main, and previous Bayonetta main, I was more than happy to even hear my two favorites mentioned 💖 And honestly, not surprised by the Link thing. Pretty elf boys steal everyone’s hearts. Just look at Legolas.
But what about the play styles of these characters?!?!?! Does me identifying as a male make me more likely to play a ranged character or melee? Do I prefer faster characters because of my personality? Does the character I choose make me a better player because I like my choice or because they are the better fighter?
This is more about analyzing the characters you do pick and THEN determining what type of person you are based on that. because the style of play is completely unique from one player to another and also the survey never had an option of what play style you play so the data was just never really there to analyze and the survey would of been MASSIVE For example Link was the #2 pick out of all the characters across everyone which i can agree with I also picked him and i have been playing this since it first came out and i pick him because I know him the best i have my own play style and he fits it perfectly. That being said you can take Link and literally have 5 different play styles associated with him....other characters depending on what they do could have more or less. You would have to figure out how many play styles are available for that character set it up as a survey and then post it for everyone to do for EVERY character....it would be too long barely anyone would fill it out thus less numbers and less accuracy.

As a Filipino, I actually think we picked Greninja because Japan invaded the Philippines once so we had a Fondness for the Japanese and of course, Ninjas. We think Ninjas are really cool here actually. So henceforth, we picked Greninja.
actually i have three reasons why greninja is most chosen in our country 1.that our country is surrounded with water that is greninja's type 2.that it's moves was inspired by ninjas and also it's moves similar to that of anyone in our country's favorite ninja naruto and.... 3.in chinese belief that we might somehow carry can bring good luck,if you see someone in their home having a frog bitting a chinese coin in it and the bonus province frogs(not city frogs)were used as a finger food i just dont know why cause i never tried it but frogs that can be found in provinces(they just catch them and not breed them) also our country might also choose the belmonts (if they know them)because our country have been invaded by the spaniards for a very very long time 333 years to be exact were our country have been forced to convert to roman catholics but our country has a lot of weird religions though so yeah but it is just my thought though so what do you guys think also may pinoy din pala na fan si matpat hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahahah
"If pichu is being chosen, you know it's gotta be cause he's cute because it is definitely not for strategic purposes" Pichu is now top tier. I'm pretty sure people are picking pichu for strategic purposes now.
But if you played melee you would know that Pichu was garbage and the only reason to be him/ herwas because it was cute and if you tried Pichu at first I don't think you did it because it looked tuff you did it because it was cute then you found out Pichu was a adorable electric ball of death
I think that the reason why Greninja is such a popular pick here is because of the INSANE popularity of Pokémon here: ESPECIALLY Pokémon Go. For anyone who lives here or has visited Singapore before (I am Singaporean), you may have seen people who have up to 8 phones all running Pokémon Go AT THE SAME TIME (no, I am seriously not joking, this is real). Brandon Wu - the top Pokémon Go player (before his account was banned) - is Singaporean. Heck - even some of the ELDERLY here play Pokémon Go (which actually makes sense considering how watered down Pokémon Go is compared to other games in the franchise). Because of that popularity, more people here of all ages are being introduced to the Pokémon, and considering the natural visual appeal of a Pokémon like Greninja, I don't think that there isn't at least some relationship between these two factors. Furthermore, if you consider that Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee were just released, and how Nintendo is moving their focus towards increasing Nintendo Switch sales in the Middle East and South-East Asia (where Singapore is), I don't think that it's surprising that Pokémon is becoming a nation-wide sensation, and as a result, Greninja is one of the most anticipated characters in SSBU here. P.S. Link is my boooooiiiiiiii :)
Honestly Kirby makes sense. He can transform into your opponent, causing the fight to be even, and more importantly you can see a bunch of powers in one run!
Theory:exists Me and a whole army of tomboys: We’re gonna end this theory’s whole career Also me: hmm no wonder i like to pick Kirby...because I like to eat a lot.
Pokemon is pretty big in the Philippines though. Some children/teens I spoke with in poorer areas had no clue what a ninja was, however they probably also hadnt played smash
DaDARKPass he never said it had slow internet, but that it was slowly being built. Newer materials and components are being used.

As a Filipino, I actually think we picked Greninja because Japan invaded the Philippines once so we had a Fondness for the Japanese and of course, Ninjas.
We think Ninjas are really cool here actually.
So henceforth, we picked Greninja.
That's interesting. Would you also be partial to Sheik, or is she not seen a ninja?
Shes seen more as a sneeky person or a spy I think. She doesnt act like one. Thats the thing
actually i have three reasons why greninja is most chosen in our country
1.that our country is surrounded with water that is greninja's type
2.that it's moves was inspired by ninjas and also it's moves similar to that of anyone in our country's favorite ninja naruto and....
3.in chinese belief that we might somehow carry can bring good luck,if you see someone in their home having a frog bitting a chinese coin in it
and the bonus province frogs(not city frogs)were used as a finger food i just dont know why cause i never tried it but frogs that can be found in provinces(they just catch them and not breed them)
also our country might also choose the belmonts (if they know them)because our country have been invaded by the spaniards for a very very long time 333 years to be exact were our country have been forced to convert to roman catholics but our country has a lot of weird religions though so yeah but it is just my thought though so what do you guys think also
may pinoy din pala na fan si matpat hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahahah
Ash-Greninja, anyone??
We had a fondness because we were invaded?!? Tf
"you ARE your character"
"Casually grabs a turnip"
"If pichu is being chosen, you know it's gotta be cause he's cute because it is definitely not for strategic purposes"
Pichu is now top tier. I'm pretty sure people are picking pichu for strategic purposes now.
But if you played melee you would know that Pichu was garbage and the only reason to be him/ herwas because it was cute and if you tried Pichu at first I don't think you did it because it looked tuff you did it because it was cute then you found out Pichu was a adorable electric ball of death
*Tier whores**
Nah im greninja or the street fighter bros

My brother only chooses pichu for strategic purposes, and i never understood because that things is so. Darn. Tiny.

@@klesek5841 HAI

I think that the reason why Greninja is such a popular pick here is because of the INSANE popularity of Pokémon here: ESPECIALLY Pokémon Go. For anyone who lives here or has visited Singapore before (I am Singaporean), you may have seen people who have up to 8 phones all running Pokémon Go AT THE SAME TIME (no, I am seriously not joking, this is real). Brandon Wu - the top Pokémon Go player (before his account was banned) - is Singaporean. Heck - even some of the ELDERLY here play Pokémon Go (which actually makes sense considering how watered down Pokémon Go is compared to other games in the franchise). Because of that popularity, more people here of all ages are being introduced to the Pokémon, and considering the natural visual appeal of a Pokémon like Greninja, I don't think that there isn't at least some relationship between these two factors. Furthermore, if you consider that Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee were just released, and how Nintendo is moving their focus towards increasing Nintendo Switch sales in the Middle East and South-East Asia (where Singapore is), I don't think that it's surprising that Pokémon is becoming a nation-wide sensation, and as a result, Greninja is one of the most anticipated characters in SSBU here.
P.S. Link is my boooooiiiiiiii :)
*Sings the entire SG anthem*
Hey!Glad to find a fellow singaporean here.(I'm one too)
Malaysia is very popular in big cities as well, nowhere near Singapore though.
Link is all of our boi's

Honestly Kirby makes sense. He can transform into your opponent, causing the fight to be even, and more importantly you can see a bunch of powers in one run!
Could you say DK was the bottem of the BARREL.
Nice.

For Greninja, instead of looking at the Pokemon side of his character, look at the ninja side of his character.
I like home because he's a speedy character and good with edge garding granted you dont miss that down air
@@Jackaldraws same here
Pokemon is pretty big in the Philippines though. Some children/teens I spoke with in poorer areas had no clue what a ninja was, however they probably also hadnt played smash
Andrew Ender Frost I was on a vacation in bohol, and saw some kids going “CHARIZARD I CHOOSE YOU! USE FLAMETHROWER!”
Since the anime is the only way for those countries to access pokemon, maybe they make a connection to the Ash-Greninja form
Can we see the data?
I wanna see what the countries top pick for USA.
matpat got something wrong. romania has some of the fastest internet speeds in the world
Probably Kirby or pack man because they eat so much

DaDARKPass he never said it had slow internet, but that it was slowly being built. Newer materials and components are being used. But that’s all new, as of just 2004, they had some very slow internet st 124kb/s, where in just the past few years they’ve reached 85 mb/s. He was talking about how long they’ve had internet and culture which is up to speed with the rest of the world.

@@alphandom7909 he means he's good okay?
Don Juan Well, in Smash talk, being good, high tier, and top tier, are COMPLETELY different things.
Was Pichu good: Yes
Was Pichu high tier: Maybe
Was Pichu top tier: Definitely Not
@@alphandom7909 i know that, but what he meant was that pichu is good. You are correct, yes but it does not really matter in this context, high or top tier can we just agree to ignore this insignificant detail that he just so happened get wrong.
