Better than I had hoped to do - looks like my picks, modulated by the semi-randomization is letting me impose my style of fantasy sumo.

If Teru is indeed out for the tourney (you folks get better news than I by far) I'll make the same trade request in order: Mitakeumi/Takakeisho/Shodai

I'm happy my furry egg (Takayasu) is doing well this tourney though!

Just having a blast watching this basho - despite my team slowly going into free-fall. Can at least one of my "just under even" army turn it around :ohdear:

Oof, hope everyone makes it through ok, and I guess my fantasy Beya will take the assigned back-up Y/O on my list.

gently caress me. This is going to be a nightmare for the draft wire.


Not to make life more difficult, but I'm pretty sure I got my requested "next Y/O" in time for day 7 too (post right after the Mitakeumi anouncement). Sorry to not be more clear, I was posting from a handheld and my thumbs were too to dumb and sausage-like to track down my team post at the time.

Part Three to be released, good stuff here. Lots of detail into the techniques during the bouts.

This (part three is now up too!) is awesome.

Why wouldn't there have been a mono-i on Tochinoshin v. Hokutofuji?

Now that you mention it - there have been so few mono-i in the top division that I can't recall one happening yet off the top of my head.

edit: still only part way through watching the fourth day matches though!

Is Terutsuyoshi injured? He seems to just be in a Tachiai -> Stand-up -> Step-out mode.

When Takayasu hit the ground after that Abi match it took me a second to realize he wasn't just bemoaning his loss, but was actually injured. Of course he wouldn't be sitting there weeping on the dohyo, that's not something you'd expect of a top rank rikishi. But it was easy to assume that for several seconds.

Almost my exact reaction - from "he's overcome with coming so close yet again" to "he would never do that..." to "oh poo poo, is he hurt?" in a matter of seconds.
