Shodai out there literally rubbing the sleep out of his eyes before the tachiai. Immensely powerful.

Not sure how to feel about the new head shots NHK are using, Midorifuji's soft focus sepia toned 80s porno look was iconic

I will not be requesting a trade due to Takayasu's injury. I do not personally feel good about setting aside an injured rikishi for my own benefit but I also do not judge in any way those that wish to do so.

Excited to watch so sumo, also a bit relived that it's fantasy exhibition time as last week was a nightmare and completely missed the whole "get my draft together" in light of everything else going on.

Beeswax posted:Shodai out there literally rubbing the sleep out of his eyes before the tachiai. Immensely powerful. This but unironically. A lot of athletes can't sleep or rest before competition. I'm not sure if it would be as big a problem in sumo where you have 15 fights in a row so the pressure isn't usually as extreme but in sports like boxing or MMA where you train for months and only get one shot, some people have a hard time sleeping as the big day comes. Being able to sleep and come into the competition rested is extremely valuable.

I think I'm ready to say that Shodai's first san'yaku run was actually his warmup and now we're in his real one with the full warmup powers with him.

I'm going to try to stay on top of this but it should be all set. Please check your teams, not everyone has small changes or large ones, but feel free to PM me or post here if I'm still missing something.Beexoffel posted:Oops, I'm late again.

It's very weird to watch sumo without running fantasy. It's the right call for me this basho, but as I'm watching the days bouts I keep feeling like I should be filling out a spreadsheet. Kotonowaka yusho? Thauros posted:gently caress, after using an alternate channel last basho kintamayama's off of youtube and just on the chud site now. i can't find any trace of either his old or new channel I'm watching Kinta on Rumble. He's still Kinta, and the fact that the ads are for comfort-fit holsters instead of late-model cars doesn't bother me excessively. For now.

Thank you kohai Robviously, you seem to be engaging in diligent struggle with the spreadsheet, according to tradition. I appreciate your tenacity and the ganbaru spirit that you display in this noble discipline.

Day 3: drat, Hoshoryu and Kiribayama with avoidable defeats today. I was thinking "Tobizaru can't go for the Henka again" and the mad lad did it... successfully this time! Asanoyama seemed to have a very favorable call there, I think they should have had a repeat of the match.

Beeswax posted:Shodai out there literally rubbing the sleep out of his eyes before the tachiai. Immensely powerful. This is his absolute best chance ever for a yusho, with Wakatakakage out and Teru looking shaky, so he'd best wake up. Our boy Tochi is having a real rough time, he's got seven wins in the last three basho combined. I'm expecting we're going to see him retire once he hits the bottom of Juryo, just no knee left and looking like he's lot a lot of muscle. His tachi-ai today was a shadow of its former self, he straight up bounced off of a lighter Hakuyozan and was driven out in a few seconds.

Wakamotoharu is becoming a favourite of mine. Mostly because he will never not at least attempt an utchari, the most heroic of all kimarite.

I've been hoping that Wakatakamoto can actually make a surprise run and get into the top division and perhaps we can have Wakatakamoto, Wakamotoharu and Wakatakakage all together.

When this happens, my fantasy team will be the Fozzy Bear team: Waka Waka Waka plus a bear (Takayasu). I've been waiting for years and just needed yall to see the joke because I've all but given up hope of it happening for real.

Day 4 Recap: It seems that everyone in the upper ranks is out for blood this basho, Shodai is currently the only sanyaku or higher with less than 3 wins. Poor guy, Shodai. M 1-5, on the other hand, is taking the brunt of the assault as all 9 active sumotori combined have 10 wins total. I'm not going to go out on a limb and say that this is a trend that will continue but this may end up being the cursed rank for the tournament. Day 4 Standings: code:

I was laughing so hard seeing Terunofuji go "No sir, I believe I will just carry you out of here." Also hello sumo thread, I got into watching last basho thanks to a friend and lurked here. Watching recaps goes well with my morning coffee.

Day4: No idea is Hokuseiho's gameplan was literally "hang on with a single hand, be tall and unweildy, wait for opponent to gas out" but by god it worked. The least intense performance you'll ever see but you can't argue with the result.

maybe Hokuseiho is leaving one hand free for balance/opportunistic throwing? He's strong enough to whip rear end one handed v0v.

The sound of two foreheads smashing into each other during a tachi-ai is quite a way to get the blood flowing in the morning. Also really glad to see Daiesho doing consistently well. The first basho I watched was Jan 22 and the first day had Daiesho put on a hell of a performance against Terunofuji during his massive win streak. He didn't win, but he looked great, and I've been a fan ever since.
