While they had somewhat reasonable arguments, I still feel that Miyabiyama got kind of robbed. With or without precedences - is there any rule that makes it generally impossible to leapfrog the sekiwake rank? No great analogy, but but leapfrogging komusubi is quite common.

Playoff against stablemate Takerufuji. Aww, shit, complete brainfart. No idea how that came to me.

Yeah, a solid 15-0 D wouldn't be too shabby, indeed.

Takerufuji. 88% wins and never lost a makuuchi bout...

I think none of them will get the nod on 32 wins. And none of them will be snubbed on 33.

Thanks for maintaining these lists. Batch1 - Active rikishi who have been in Ketteisen : - Kisenosato no longer active Batch2 - Most Consecutive Wins from Pro Debut : - Shiraishi on 7 match winning streak

And win the decider against a 15-0 stable mate

Due to the huge amount of brainpower and valuable information put into it, the thread became self-aware, noticed being in the wrong subforum and committed seppuku to restore its honour.

With 12-3 Y securing the promotion for Kisenosato, and 13-2 D no longer possible, would 12-3 D prolong the tsuna run or would he have to start over?

Mof[fen] and Boche, of course. (Sigh...)

Looking forward to your vids. :-)

I was able to watch the live stream on days 1-4 without Kinta's comments, and it's my impression, too, that this is the best basho I've sen in a while. Thanks in advance to Kintamayama for keeping me in touch during the upcoming days.

When Tochinoshin hits the ground at 6:07 watch the doyho cracks... Thanks for the videos, Kintamayama.

One more Sumo lurker says thank you, Kintamayama.

Thanks again for keeping me in touch with the big guys.

Most of the time I'm just a lurker around here, but maybe adding my opinion makes things a tiny little bit more objective. Your posts are no fun to read, and yes, I'd agree that many of them come across quite trollish. Maturity is not overrated, especially at this place where the quality of conversation is quite high. Since you and some other not-so-long-term-member have joined, my enjoyment of following these forums has considerably decreased. Instead of claiming to be insulted, better spend a thought about respect before posting, indeed.

His level has dropped from ridiculous dominance to dominance, still having most wins in 2012. Btw., the yoks have made it to German SPIEGEL Online: http://www.spiegel.de/sport/sonst/sumoringer-harumafuji-kaempft-gegen-hakuho-a-857474.html

Thanks. Yup.

Thanks for the vids, guys!

Based on his Makuuchi win ratio of currently 61.5% I'd expect a rather short yokozuna career of less than two years. (http://www.sumoinfo.de/Trivia/Die_meisten_Siege_in_Makuuchi/die_meisten_siege_in_makuuchi.html , maybe someone can come up with a list more suitable)

I'd be interested in the longest streaks which do not include a Yusho.

Many thanks for the vids!

Thank you very much. :-)

Nine rikshi achieved ten or more wins in Kyushu. Quite a lot. I'm interested in how often nine or more guys have managed this but I don't know how to query for it. Could someone please help me?

Thank you all. Can't explain how I miscounted 2009.09.
