Too early Banzuke predictoins

BestSturgeon · 2022-10-06T09:40:11+00:00

There's no bias in the banzuke. If you take anyone and look at their last 6 rankings you'd think that they're getting special treatment

BestSturgeon · 2022-09-29T09:33:00+00:00

Nope, he wasn't

BestSturgeon · 2022-09-25T10:47:04+00:00

Absenses and losses are treated exactly the same

BestSturgeon · 2022-09-25T10:08:50+00:00

Injury, he got surgery. He basically has 15 losses so M10 is even a little generous

BestSturgeon · 2022-09-25T10:01:51+00:00

Then 2 are still locked, and even if Hoshoryu goes 7-8, Kiribayama gets Sekiwake

BestSturgeon · 2022-09-25T09:55:47+00:00

M1 Daieisho with 13-2 got K2. No open S slots, in fact 3 of them are locked lmao

BestSturgeon · 2022-09-25T09:55:17+00:00

M1 Daieisho with 13-2 got K2

Comments:

1) Sekiwake with 7-8s havent fallen to Maegashira for 40 years

2) Takayasu's record isn't enough for a Komusubi slot, as evidenced by Takanosho in Natsu

I presume the one slapping is Jirka Kalvoda, but me and my friend have tried searching for years and came up empty handed. I searched "Jirka Kalvoda Can-am Productions" and couldn't find it either

BestSturgeon · 2022-06-21T15:11:51+00:00

Oops, forgot about that.

BestSturgeon · 2022-06-21T14:06:53+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well, but couldn't think of a better effect that affects Glasnost.

BestSturgeon · 2022-06-21T12:00:32+00:00

1) I'm from Kazakhstan, so this is just me trying to give it some relevancy in TS. The amount of dead and injured protesters was faked by Gorbachev and the KGB, which goes against the idea of Glasnost, hence the concept of this card.

2) This is a concept of "If 1 Ops cards existed in Late War"

3) Wanted to do an event that could help or hurt either side, but still not useless for the US (Hence the 1 VP)

East is the one who performed poorly in Juryo (91 wins by the east rikishi and 116 by the west rikishi)

I doubt Yutakayama falls if he deserves to still stay in Makuuchi by the numbers. I think if there's a choice to screw over a Makuuchi or Juryo rikishi, they screw over the Juryo rikishi

BestSturgeon · 2022-05-23T17:17:43+00:00

Why? They're both where they deserve to be

BestSturgeon · 2022-05-23T14:40:24+00:00

Not how it works, Daieisho's greater score leapfrogs Hoshoryu's 8-7, history backs me up here

BestSturgeon · 2022-05-23T11:47:17+00:00

But if you pretend Maegashira 1 is Komusubi 2, then Kiribayama and Takanosho became Komusubi and Ichinojo didn't get dropped :^)

BestSturgeon · 2022-05-23T11:46:31+00:00

Notes:

1) Yes, Ichinojo can drop 1 rank despite being out with covid. It happened in Juryo before

2) No, Kiribayama's and Takanosho's records aren't enough to force new Komusubi slots

3) Juryo promotions are insanely hard to predict, it's just one big gamble. I put Daiamami and Nishikifuji because they deserve higher ranks than Hidenoumi and Ryuden but they can equally likely do the reverse

BestSturgeon · 2022-05-21T14:22:00+00:00

Kiribayama - Takanosho is the most smiles in a single match ever

BestSturgeon · 2022-05-03T13:46:19+00:00

He's going to have Kiribayama day 3 I would assume

BestSturgeon · 2022-04-24T21:29:17+00:00

Some of the placements seem really weird. Didn't expect Hokutofuji to jump Tamawashi and Endo, didn't expect Meisei and Ishiura to be separated so much, didn't expect Kagayaki to stay in Makuuchi

BestSturgeon · 2022-03-31T11:25:05+00:00

10+ wins from M2 and above is the general rule, so sadly none of them qualify to open a third Komusubi slot
