I don't really see how it's pointless. You can actually play every mode with decent bots, so if you don't feel like lagging at all then there you go. Not only that, but there's quite a few American players, and most of them are looking for other Americans to play with too.
My own "issues" play a role in me importing it as well. I was following the game for a good year or two since I loved the idea and I loved how half of the roster was Madworld characters. When I found out it had been delayed until July, I thought nothing of it. I could wait until then, and my birthday is in the middle of July which was even better. Then I heard that Sega was delaying the American release until March of 2013, and it kind of pissed me off because I was waiting for the game to come out for a while. The game was already localized and everything, and yes I know Sega did it to see if it'd help out sales but I doubt there's a bunch of games coming out in the next few months (and also apparently a bunch of games are coming out around the American release date) so I thought the delay time was a little ridiculous. I didn't feel like waiting over half a year to get it, so I imported it.
And no it doesn't have local multiplayer at all which I found to be both strange and disappointing, but oh well.
If it's not your cup of tea, then that's fine. The emphasis on multiplayer is pretty heavy, so it's probably not for you if you don't like online multiplayer.
