Rigel posted:Trades are allowed until after day 7. It means that if you picked a yokozuna for fantasy, then you better trade out for someone else right now at the Y/O level, either Takakeisho or Goedio. (pick Takakeisho) I'll drop Hakuho and take Takakeisho.

Martytoof posted:Conversely, has anyone developed any irrational dislikes? I dislike Goeido for no good reason other than I think he's really bland for his position. But wait until Ichinojo makes it back to salaried ranks -- that's when you'll start to hear me complain about boring sumo. Goeido is a bum, and I've irrationally hated him since he henka'd Tochinoshin in early 2018. Also down for a gangtag.

Kenning posted:Can someone re-explain the joke with the fish? It's something like the name for that fish sounds like (or shares kanji with) the word for victory or something? [efb] https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20756516 posted:The fish was a tai, usually translated into English as "sea bream", or "red sea bream", or sometimes just as "snapper"... One reason given for this in Japan is the similarity between the word "tai", and the word for "joyous", "auspicious" or "deserving celebration" - o-medetai. Also, haven't seen this anywhere else yet, but at least one source claims Goeido's retiring: https://twitter.com/InsideSportJP/status/1221768800078422018 sivad fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Jan 27, 2020 |

Rigel posted:(Jesus, Hakuho was dominant at his peak. I couldn't help but notice that he had several basho where he was the only yokozuna holding down SIX Ozeki from gaining promotion to his rank before Harumafuji finally broke free from his reign of terror) I looked it up and holy crap, does this sentence not do it justice:  From September 2007 to May 2016, there were only 2 bashos where he didn't get either the yusho or jun-yusho. edit: there are 27 bashos in that screencap, and 38 losses. Out of 405 bouts. sivad fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Feb 25, 2020 |

pseudodragon posted:I kind of noticed on the first day that people were flying further due to not having people to crash into, but didn’t notice until today that the ground is just straight up wood and maybe some carpet. If the area is going to be empty, they could at least pile up the unused zanbuton as padding. Yeah without any crowd noise to drown it out, it was really apparent how hard they hit the ground.

Dimebags Brain posted:Does Hakuho have to be an active rikishi to participate in the Olympic ceremonies? Couldn't he retire and still be involved in a "greatest sumo wrestler of all time" capacity? He has to cut his mage when he retires, and I'd bet the old men wouldn't let him wear the rope either.

As an Onosho-haver, I'd like to propose that any rikishi that sticks it out to a 0-15 record without taking the face-saving kyujo earns their owner 15 points, starting immediately...

Martytoof posted:drat I wonder if John can get me a Takayasu. I have two or three prints but an original would be framed front and center on my wall. When I was talking to him, he said everyone is gettable, but prices fluctuate, and some take longer to source than others. When I was asking about Tochi, John said 'get in now, because he can't make any more once he's retired', though Takayasu has looked strong enough this basho that I don't think you're in danger. And yeah, it was all through twitter DM.

vulvamancer posted:I messaged him as well, wanted to see if he had Wakatakakage, Ryuden, or Myogiryu and he didn't have any of them. To be fair as much as I like those wrestlers he indicated that he'd charge around 180 bucks for them and if that's the case I'd rather just pay the extra 40 for a Hakuho. When I was talking to him about getting my Tochinoshin (18000 yen shipped a bit over a year ago), he suggested that Hakuho was really easy to get because he's been on top for so long and there's a ton of supply. Prices only really seemed to rise for certain people who are retired, because they're not permitted to make any more.

Khizan posted:I figured that this is more like... if an ozeki is competing in a basho with no yokozuna and no other ozeki, what does he really prove if he wins it? He's expected to win it. He has not proven himself the best of the best, he has proven that none of the others have ozeki-level sumo. Would it make a difference if the ozeki won the tournament, but all the yoks had retired so there were none he could possibly beat? I think the sport is barbaric with how they deal with injury, but at some level I think they have to acknowledge that the guy that is physically capable of showing up and beats everyone else who is physically capable of showing up has earned the win. It's bad enough that you get punished for getting injured yourself, without also getting punished for other people getting injured.
