Cole (known for grinding and optimizing spear tracks) is now 5th worldwide in 4 of the 5 spears tracks he last held WR on. Shows how much standards have changed over the years. LC - 1st MC/rYF/rPB/rDH - All 5th worldwide

I'm pretty damn sure that spear can't be competitive here at a high level sadly. Obviously Cole hasn't optimized his best splits with it, but me Liam and Sosis can consistently beat even his very best with it. Not to mention lucky cuts are supposedly more difficult to get with it, and that's only going to damage it in the long run when shit like 2/3 is going to be required.

BB just gains too much on the regular cuts when it gets them right, and things like pyramid turn, turn before shroom and last turn just slaughter spear.

Using ghost data and a hex editor, you can easily figure out exactly where in a certain country a player is from (provided they've set their Wii region)

I gathered data from 82 Japanese WR holders (Including Mander and Nagisa) just to see what I could find

I also hope this clears up the Zenel dying in the tsunami myth

They're the same as the regions settings on the Wii System Settings for countries. Japan has many different regions and Nintendo decided to put them all in the game for better accuracy. Not all of them are based on cities, but some are. Wink

In my case, Belgium has three regions to chose from: Flanders, Walloon and Brussels. Technically a fourth one which is called Belgium and is used when you didn't specify a region on your Wii system settings. Belgium has a lot more than those three, but they're too small to add, so they're left out. Undecided

http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/MKWii_Network_Protocol/USER/State_codes

Like Master Kek said, in a .rkg file you can find that information. If you go to offset 0x35 and read that byte it will tell you what region the player is from. Go one byte back and that byte describes the country the player is from. Remember it's in hex format, so a proper conversion is needed for the decimal value.
