Atenzan 1,084 Posted January 23, 2018 Three 0-man ganbare lineups. Players with GBL went 1-4 today! Makushitans averaged 3.8 points, Christ on a bike... And I advanced to the Kintamayama Challenge Cup quarters by a score of 8-7 over two days. Havoc, carnage and ruination! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurowake 4,109 Posted January 24, 2018 With the carnage in Bench I expected SG to have a low scoring day again, but this one was just a little below normal, and my repeated score from the previous day looked awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suwihuto 133 Posted January 24, 2018 Wow, I'm mightily impressed with my UDH score today, two wins, three fewer than anyone else. That's got to be pretty unusual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 19,690 Posted January 25, 2018 Anybody else dreading the last few days in S4? I'm going to be down to 7 pickable rikishi on senshuraku. On the upside, I was able to take advantage of the two guaranteed losers today (Tochiozan and Terunofuji) for a badly needed 3rd win... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fukurou 534 Posted January 26, 2018 What a tournament. I'm down 3 rikishi in Hoshitori (now playing with 10 rikishi). It would have been 4, thank goodness for the alternate. In Roto it's just as bad - down 3 rikishi (playing with 8 rikishi now) and no alternates allowed. Ye gawds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could try my strategy, have an absence in the middle of the basho because you think the tab is Odd sumo and close it because odd sumo was entered already... saves 4 picks for the end! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocks 1,809 Posted January 27, 2018 Ugggh! What a miserable basho for me! I guess I shouldn't complain after such a long layoff. Given the lineup I went with I am not surprised with how I did pre-basho. But the daily games were miserable too. 10 losses in Quad given all those fusen and gifts from Terunofuji and Aminishiki is unacceptable. I only had 1 day with 3 wrong or worse. Toto drove me crazy. I missed so many wins by a point or less. I think I only had 1 really bad day there and yet still no KK. Oh well. At least I got some good knowledge for March watching all the matches.

Rocks 1,809 Posted January 27, 2018 BTW, is this going to be the lowest winning totals for Rotosumo and Hoshitori ever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jakusotsu 6,052 Posted January 28, 2018 Looking at the dramatic playoff for the Oyakata Prize in Bench Sumo between Japanese sumogame legends Susanoo and Norizo, I wonder what happened to Tosahayate (trying not to fear the worst). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,690 Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) My Toto winning percentage on Day 15's must be somewhere near 30%. I think I'll just start picking the opposite lineups from what I'm expecting... On the other hand, my hilariously depleted S4 squad actually produced a win out of my remaining 6 pickable rikishi today. Edit: I managed to hang on to kachikoshi in Tipspiel despite 0 points today, yay. And an unlikely shared 10th place in TTT after rallying from 3-8 to 7-8.

I heard from Susanoo that Tosahayate is ok but just became too busy to play the games anymore, which is a shame as he is a fine gamer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsuchinoninjin 1,276 Posted January 28, 2018 Ahh, super frustrating for master's points, not all the games have even updated and already I have 6 finishes between 10-17 place! Most of the pre-basho games I got saved by backups though, so still really lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurowake 4,109 Posted January 28, 2018 Quite a zoo in Fantasy Sumo this basho. Monkey managed to get beaten in the end by War Rhino, and 3rd place was Kung Fu Panda 2. Pandaazuma was 5th. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
