JP Race Simulator: Version Differences, Data Alignment, and Usage

If you play JP or want to preview balance changes/events before Global, use the JP simulator. Here’s how to align course, skills, and meta for reliable results.

1) When to Prefer JP

Event prep: JP usually receives content first—simulate upcoming cups with JP data.
Balance previews: Skills/characters may be tuned; JP sims reflect current JP balance.
Roster differences: Newer characters or supports might be JP-only initially.

2) Key Differences vs. Global

Data freshness: JP data leads; skills and triggers could differ.
Course rotation: JP events/conditions appear earlier—always select the correct course variant.
Support availability: Deck options and tier relevance may shift based on banners.

3) Setup Checklist

Select the exact course (distance, layout, weather if applicable).
Pick your Uma strategy based on JP meta notes, not just Global habits.
Confirm skill names/triggers match JP; avoid outdated Global assumptions.
Run 30–50 sims to stabilize results and compare build alternatives.

Tip: Validate assumptions by cross-checking Course Images and by sanity-testing a baseline build first.

4) Applying JP Results to Global

Use JP sims as an early signal, then re-validate on Global when the same content arrives. Expect small performance shifts if balance or banner pools differ.

FAQ

Q: Are JP results 1:1 transferable?
Usually close for identical content, but banner/tuning differences can affect builds—recheck on Global.
