Epic High Five posted:I know nothing about this but I'll be following since my other teams are done for their seasons and my vacation lines up with this month's events. I don't know enough to make rankings yet so for now I'll just say my top 3 are whoever is largest, whoever is smallest, and whoever is sassiest. Who would those be? Largest: Ichinojo, but as per the previous page, he should probably be disqualified. Next largest are Aoiyama and Tochinoshin. They're also the 2 white dudes so they are instantly recognisable. The other option is Takakeisho, who's only slightly lighter but a lot shorter so he's a completely different body type. Smallest: Midorifuji and Terutsuyoshi are the smallest dudes with Terutsuyoshi slightly shorter. Them, Tobizaru and Ura who are slightly larger but still smaller than average are fun guys to watch as little dudes that try cool stuff against giants. Unfortunately Enho (5'6/214) is down in second division. He's probably the closest to Takanoyama of a dude who's getting as far as he can on skill while being completely outsized. Sassiest: this is tough since Sumo encourages and celebrates dudes who display a stoic and composed demeanor in ring. I guess Hoshoryu has been getting in trouble for overcelebrating. Maybe Terutsuyoshi for throwing a huge amount of salt?

If you want to have a good fun time I recommend following Shodai, Wakatakakage, and Ura.

You can tell them apart because tochinoshin wraps the poo poo out of his right knee, while Akiyama wraps the poo poo out of his left and only has a small amount of tape on his right.

Shiroc posted:One of the tweets mentioned bruises. Well gently caress him. He's lucky Minato doesn't have any other sekitori and isn't that big in general. I'd imagine in a stable where he isn't the unquestioned top dog, he probably eats a string of beatdowns for hitting the stable mom if there were anyone capable of delivering it.

Let's be honest here. The easiest way to tell them apart is the breast size, but looking for the leg wrap also works!

He's lost some of the definition in the last couple years but you could be nice about it and say one of them has visible muscles. Prime Tochi actually looked jacked.

ImplicitAssembler posted:Ohh, didn't know there was a Sumo thread. Been following for several years. Was supposed to go to the March Basho in 2020, but then covid happened. Plan is to try again in 2023. I went to Nagoya 2019 on a whim and knowing nothing about sumo and now I'm somehow sitting on top of the goonzuke standings. some kinda jackal posted:I know I retired from official fantasy, but here's my picks for the fantasy-fantasy-metabasho because I have nothing better to do I appreciate the fact that you chose me but only as a third pick.

NHK's website is telling me it doesn't start for 3 hours https://twitch.tv/mbovosumo https://twitch.tv/karla_sumoist https://twitch.tv/midnightsumo or just go to youtube and type in sumo and filter it to live streams, something will pop up. Or VPN to Japan and go to https://abema.tv/now-on-air/sumo NHK's live coverage if you're physically in Japan starts usually somewhere halfway through Juryo, and if you're watching the international version of NHK on your cable package you only get like the last hour and only on weekends, it sucks. Anything else you're seeing originates from the Abema feed. Brut fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Nov 13, 2022 |

Midnight's channel has a real silly vibe with their views, Mbovo is more serious. Both are just fine if you don't read chat.
