are the US and JPN ranks seperate???

The meseta obtained is always the same regardless if the opponent has better or worse rank.
It goes Like this.
1st round: 100 meseta. Each round is +100 meseta more. Final is +400 meseta. And if the opponent is a human add +300.
So the maximum is a final against human in 4 rounds tournament. 3 rounds = 300 + 400 of final + 300 of human = A total of 1000 meseta.

the only thing that is linked to the lvl of the player you won against, is exp. if the lvl of the player you beat is a lot higher than ur own, u get up to 40 exp for the win.

Up to 50EXP

i mean that the Mesetas are just for the Jukebox, the Auction and the Shop.
U can get up your Rank when u beat Players with higher Rank than yours.

You do not get a higher rank for beating a character, lower or higher, in regular battle. Rank is based on totally earned amount of meseta. Meseta can only be obtained in tournaments. You can, as you mentioned use your meseta to buy different things etc. However, as earlier mentioned (I think) using meseta doesn't affect your rank, for it is based on totally earned amount.

So, to ask again, what happens if you put your Ep 3 into Japanese mode? Any effect on your ranking?
