QuasiQuack posted:I will never not back my favorite tiny man, through thick or... slightly less thick. i like him too, but i think he needs a new game plan... the other wrestlers seem to be winning against him by standing their ground and using pushing-thrusting to keep him out of range and off the mawashi like, look at his bout with Yutakayama in Nov 2019, the one where they just didn't do a tachiai. just look how far back from the line Yutakayama is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWXZ5Sq9Xu0&t=273s and again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwPvo8saOj4&t=191s and again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUsRm1gHHuI&t=231s

Love seeing new folks in the fantasy game! I'm excited for this basho. I wonder how people are gonna fare with the shorter time between basho though. I guess there are no non-basho events they're doing, so maybe it'll be a wash.

where possible i hope to go with the team that won it for me the last basho. my main mistake was a sentimental pick of enho and he's a better value at M9 Y/O: Asanoyama/Hakuho/Takakeisho S/K: Shodai/Daiesho/Mitakeumi M1-5: Terunofuji/Hokotofuji/Tamawashi M6-10: Enho/Takayasu/Kagayaki M11+:Hoshoryu/Meisei/Kotoshogikiu

Missed the deadline last tournament so let’s get in early this time. Y/O: Asanoyama/Takakeisho/Hak S/K: Shodai/Mitakeumi/Daieisho M1-5: Terunofuji/Takanosho/Hokotofuji M6-10: Enho/Kagayaki/Kotoeko M11+:Hoshoryu/Kotoshoho/Ishiura EDIT: Replacing Hakuho The GOAT pulled out last time, so he’s due for a win this time. Shodai and Mita are both on long shot Ozeki runs so pulling for those guys. I think Enho is a guy who can be pretty good at the lower levels where his skill is enough to overcome his size, but if he gets high enough where he has to fight the Sanyaku crew, he’s probably getting crushed by dudes as good as he is and also have 100 pounds on him. Hoshoryu and Kotoeko are both young guys I am excited to see, but Hoshoryu gets the pick as first timer. Also, I really want one of the Kotos to kick rear end and break into the 1-5 ranks to make a gimmick team work for the M ranks in November. pseudodragon fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Sep 7, 2020 |

So I should pick three from each category, in order (whoever we think has the best record in a category would be pick #1, etc?), right? Is there any weight given to picking someone who is M17 over someone who is M11, in the M11+ bracket? (Like it even matters, I have no idea who many of these guys are. I speed-watched the entire last basho and it was my first one. I'll just be picking the names I recognize in semi-random order)

You may be overthinking it a little. Just pick three from each category according to your preference — the one you want, the one you’d want if the first wasn’t available, etc. And as for who to pick, as far as rank goes, if you are picking for M1-5 and you think the guy at M4e is a better wrestler than M1e, for example, then by all means pick M4e. If you don’t really follow the wrestlers much at all then they’re all going to be random names and your best bet is either to just pick randomly, pick some guy whose photo looks goofy and you take a liking to, or just try to pick the top guys in each section. Keep in mind that high rank is no indication of continued success. We’ve had top ranked guys get only two wins an entire tournament. There’s an element of chance involved.

Oh my. So, if I just pick names I recognize in semi-random order, that's okay, then? I'll save the strategy for later.  As long as it's okay for me to ignore other people's picks, that's good. Edit: Ahh, I see your edit above. Thank you!

That’s absolutely okay. I’ll be honest, I do a lot of random picking outside of guys I really enjoy. Like I’m a big Takayasu and Enho fan, so my picks for M6-10 will probably be Takayasu/Enho and then some random third dude. If I get Takayasu or Enho I’ll be happy, and if I get the third dude I’ll at least have someone to follow and root on who I may not already have been rooting for. Fantasy is part competitive and mostly (imo) an excuse to latch onto rando japanese guys who you’ve never heard of before, cheering them on for two weeks. Once you’ve watched a few basho you can start to strategize about guys who you think fight well, or who may be coming back from injury that you’ll probably want to avoid taking, or just guys you enjoy watching. Until then I’m a big fan of picking guys whose photos you like

Chinook posted:So I should pick three from each category, in order (whoever we think has the best record in a category would be pick #1, etc?), right? one way to do it would be to just pick the highest ranked guys from each section and hope you get him. so pick hakuho, shodai, etc. guys who did well in the last basho another way to do it would be to assume you wont get your first pick, so try to get sleeper picks. so you gamble on kakuryu, endo, etc. and you'll probably get him if nobody else wants him. its also fun to look at the young guys up from juryo, and try to guess who is going to have a good debut -- e: oh gently caress... actually dont listen to me, or pay attention to my picks, because i didnt know a rikishi could be claimed multiple times Helianthus Annuus fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Sep 1, 2020 |

This basho, I have chosen rikshi with as many syllables as possible in their names at each rank. In the case of a tie, I went with dudes I haven't picked before. I look forward to being squarely in the middle of the fantasy field like always.

" Injured Yokozuna Hakuhou (right knee) has yet to resume training, raising fears he will not be ready for the basho. He prefers to be treated for the injury and heal completely, after undergoing endoscopic surgery in August. He is doing basic exercises but is far from doing the fundamental suriashi and shiko. Rikishi-kai representative Kotoshougiku visited Oguruma oyakata at the Kkan today, asking to lift the degeiko ban, citing the fact that sekitori that have only a few opponents to face at their heya cannot train properly. Oguruma answered that if even one of them contract the disease as a result, the whole basho will be in danger of being canceled. "We will be doing whatever the Kyokai decides, of course. Still, maybe they can allow degeiko during the odd months when there is no basho. We need to think outside of the box.." said Kotoshougiku. "

Man, that sucks about Hakuho. Do we think he's holding out for 2021 to still do the dohyo-iri at the rescheduled Olympics? Also I'm torn about degeiko. It makes total sense for the kyokai to be very cautious about COVID, but it's gotta suck real bad to be in a small heya with basically no one to practice with.
