Is HFF more popular over there, is it an inside joke, etc?

Not trying to be xenophobic just curious.

A chinese speedrunner and streamer made it popular in China, i dont know about japan.

plus a lot of games are not allowed in china I guess so yes and chinese people are tryharders

Игру сделали в Китае, поэтому она там и популярна.

the team is american i believe
