Ganzohnesushi 405 Posted December 22, 2021 As Simon is still more or less inactive in this forum, we should not wait any longer for the kick-off of Metasumo 2022. In this simple game, you choose the GAMERS you think will score the most in the Superbanzuke Masters series. Go to this link and choose ONE player from each of the categories below: 1-5 6-10 11-20 21-40 41-80 81-120 121-200 201+ for a total of eight players. If you would like to choose one of the many recent promising new players WHO ARE NOT listed in the 2021 final standings, please place them in the 201+ category. Please post your picks in this thread. The deadline is Shonichi of the Hatsu Basho 2022. The winner gets a free one-way ticket to Mars. Good luck to all and stay healthy! Ganzohnesushi 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athenayama 427 Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) So, I'm starting the dance? Ok, here we go. 1-5 Joaoiyama (Of course at these heights you could pick any one. I feel that the Brazilian is motivated enough to repeat such a performance as in 2021). 6-10 Andoreasu (I could also pick another German here, Flohru, so I flipped a coin!). 11-20 Susanoo ("Face value"? They say that in English, don't they?). 21-40 Athenayama (There were many better choices here but I'm really motivated for 2022... also I might be in position to score points in more games than in the past). 41-80 Jejima (Really many interesting picks here but as Sir Jejima released himself of many duties lately, I hope he'll be focused on making the best choices in the sumo games in 2022 ). 81-120 Achiyama (I believe the bulgarian flag will fly higher in 2022 ). 121-200 Gurowake (I sensed a real motivation here, so ....). 201+ Gawasukotto (really tough choice here, I was very tempted by Lady Getayukata as I also wanted to have a "feminine touch" in my team and by several others that I won't name here not to give any ideas to my opponents ) Edited December 24, 2021 by Athenayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wamahada 23 Posted December 29, 2021 Perhaps a Top-10-pick this time: 1-5 Pandaazuma 6-10 Andoreasu 11-20 Norizo 21-40 Gozaburow 41-80 Jejima 81-120 Achiyama 121-200 Gurowake 201+ Getayukata We will see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still confident that you'll perform well. Unless you're telling me that you will not participate in all games counting for the Super Banzuke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScreechingOwl 342 Posted December 31, 2021 I have never done well in Metasumo (or pretty much Meta anything) but I'll give it another go: 1-5 Pandaazuma (Any of these guys could win it all, so I'll go with the one who has done it the most times.) 6-10 Flohru (Again an amazing group; however Flohru is quite a talent, and, from my limited interactions, a genuinely nice guy to boot.) 11-20 Norizo (This guy is so good he has a game named after him!) 21-40 ScreechingOwl (Simply trying to motivate myself after another underperforming year.) 41-80 Pitinosato (Way too talented not to place higher.) 81-120 Ruziklao (Seems to have a knack at a variety of games, which is the best way to advance.) 121-200 Gurowake (2022 hasn't even started and he already has more points than anyone in this group had in 2021. Ponder that!) 201+ Getayutaka (Well, at this point it's anybody's guess, but this seems like a good one.) Best to luck to everyone who plays any online sumo games in 2022! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jejima 938 Posted December 31, 2021 Out of interest, what do these mean at the top of columns? LY Gino Daily Pre-B TOT # G Y LY = Last year's rank.... Gino = ? Daily = total score in daily games (Bench Sumo, Sumo Game etc) Pre-B = Pre-Basho games (Guess the Banzuke, Roto Sumo etc) TOT = Daily plus Pre-Basho scores # = ? G = ? Y = total number of Yushos won over the year (?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randomitsuki 2,504 Posted December 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Jejima said: What is the significance of that? All Superbanzuke gino-sho rest on this principle. Some people might be good at pre-basho games only, some at daily games. The gino-sho means that someone has excelled in both realms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ganzohnesushi 405 Posted January 2, 2022 1-5 Pandaazuma (hopefully the Panda gets enough Bamboo to eat) 6-10 Flohru (not picking myself does not mean I won't try to win) 11-20 Oyama (former world class player on his way back to the top ranks) 21-40 Netsuzakura (could be the dark horse in my selection) 41-80 Balon (looks even darker) 81-120 Achiyama (I hope he performs better than his slowly descending wrestling compatriot) 121-200 Mmikasazuma (expecting more from her than just to be the statutory woman in my team) 201+ Randomitsuki (perhaps this will motivate him to start playing again ) Ganzohnesushi 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
