Hello sumo thread! I came here because of the announcement, watched the last basho and now love sumo. Unfortunately lurking this thread means I'm ride or Shodai for life. Enjoy my very basic picks, I'm still learning who everyone is!

Oh dear I may be new to the sport but that did not look good. Kenning can I trade Tochinoshin for Kotoeko or Ichiyamamoto? Feeling lost like Shodai now. Edit: dang didn't even realise when matches started lol, stupid sleep getting in the way of sumo Single Tight Female fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Jan 12, 2023 |

🥺 Hoshoryu was the first rikishi I fell in love with so I hope my beautiful Mongolian boy is okay. I was mercenary with Tochinoshin but can't do him like that. Kenning if this would be an auto-trade I'd like to refuse it if possible, tia

Every part of my current success this basho has been due to not understanding drafting rules/being behind a couple of days and not realising how dire certain situations were. In this way, I like to think I have embodied the spirit of Shodai Edit: huh. Turns out my brother is going to be there tomorrow! Any advice I can pass on? Feel like I remember some previous comments suggesting going later in the day and skipping lower division bouts? Single Tight Female fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Mar 22, 2023 |

An incredible basho to be sure, poor Kotoeko being thrown into the crowd again lmao Hoshoryu was the first rikishi I ever became a fan of, so I'm over the moon he won!

Thanks for all you do Kenning, great basho all! Think that's a PB for me, can't wait for this to be my ultimate peak and then a long time languishing in juryo before I'm put out to pasture. Might go spread COVID at a hostess bar and come back in a year, see if it improves my chances.

Ok I'll stop agonising over a single pick, three days of that is enough. Thanks for running it! Y/O: Hoshoryu Kirishima Takakeisho S/K: Tobizaru Nishikigi Wakamotoharu M1-5: Ura Abi SHODAI M6-10: Kotoeko Hiradoumi Endo M11+: Myogiryu Hokuseiho Kotoshoho

Trade request please! I want to get off Mister Abi's wild ride. Abi for either of my alternate picks - Wakamotoharu or Kotonowaka - if either is free, if not then it's fate. I've been completely undone by deliberately putting my favourite boys at the top of each pick and getting my draft in early. Don't be like me, be like Shodai.

Only just managed to get caught up on the last few days, glad to see my particular brand of sumo is bad. Tobizaru's last few bouts were interesting, all headbutting people in the dick and kicking the poo poo out of their legs! As always, thanks for all the hard work you do Kenning, and Banana Canada too!

Kenning posted:We had so many people with worst-case trades (i.e. ditching someone who gets KK in favor of someone who gets MK) it's almost not worth mentioning this basho; however I do want to offer my sincere commiserations to Single Tight Female who got two double MK trades, with Abi->Wakamotoharu and Kotoeko->Myogiryu, although that last one was a kyujo auto-trade. Sometimes you get a rough basho, but I hope you will gambarize for Hatsu. Sometimes things just happen and you don't really know why. Guess this is how Shodai feels a lot of the time. I will work hard to improve my brand of fantasy sumo for next year!

Roctavian posted:I can't remember exactly which basho, but I think it's March 2023: Hoshoryu got henka'd by his opponents for a couple matches in a row, and then Tobi tries to get a third in and gets thrown like a ragdoll. Eldoop posted:Usually I just dislike henkas because they mean I miss out on a good match. If they're funny they're good, like that match a few basho back when Hoshoryu grabbed the back of his opponent's mawashi as he ran by and hurled him into the audience Assuming these are talking about the same henka, it's Day 9 of March. I know because I sent a clip of it to a group chat so it was easy to find the date. The only non-rumble link I can find is this one and if the timestamp doesn't work their match is at 26:14, it's still great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTPpVnFWmzw&t=1574s

Average Lettuce posted:I think this was against Sadanoumi? But I can't find any video of that match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngou947yYXM&t=433s Aha! This is a Hoshoryu/Sadanoumi henka with a flypast mawashi grab, but the ending is slightly anticlimactic lol (7:13)

If every instinct I have for drafting is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right...

Banana Canada posted:Prior to goonzuke publication, I'll post the tracker without Makuuchi - Juryo divisions. Will revise with the divisions later and tweak the colours and formatting a bit mroe. Very handy, wish I hadn't seen it. Please take this extremely personally Robviously, my only goal this basho is to stay ahead of you.
