Cast your vote and discuss (logically) why you voted for who you voted for. Have fun, but keep it clean!​

 

[Hardy]

Golden Pair FTW

 

[Ninomiya]

Akutsu/Kawamura could pull off a slaughtering. I'm gonna go with them.
something like... 80th Hadoukyuu for a few serves. That removes a lot of players on here.

Then 108th Hadoukyuu serves. We have even less pairs alive.
Akutsu is amazing.

 

[-Ken-]

It's either Taira Yoshiyuki/Momoshiro Takeshi or Akutsu Jin/Kawamura Takashi for me. I don't view a lot of player as they can take a shot that break spot light and still be alive. I know Taira/Momo lose in final, but they are still stronger team in my eyes.

 

[Hardy]

Taira/Momoshiro is another good pair (just because BJK is almost unreturnable, Momo is really OP here lol). Data Pair is really strong, WoK has a huge fan base (I didn't see them winning in any discussion yet they won every single match... almost like Jirou did) and I really like Shiraishi/Kirihara...

Kaoz you did great with the pairs , I would have replaced strong pair with Hirakoba/Amane (or something like that, Amane was useless in S2 lol).

Jirou and WoK are surely the team with the strongest fan base, lol. I'll love to see anyone with evidence that they are stronger than 3rd court pair, anytime now.

Jirou also had good fan base. But I think he won his match pretty fair and square. The only match that he win that I think he had no chance winning is the 1st match, his match with Kenya. He had a pretty decent chance at winning the rest of his match.

Yeah, I tried to defend Jirou in his first match and I almost won the discussion, and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids and their stupid Airgrimes! (lol I'm not trying to offend you, it's a Scooby-Doo reference). Airgrimes destroyed me in that match, there was nothing I could do for poor Jirou, although I still think that if that match happens, Jirou has a high probability of winning (but I accept Kenya was better there).

Against Kojinki, that was a close match. And against Amane, I actually tried to make a fair match and defended David lol (Jirou destroyed him).


I still can't believe WoK won against Kirihara/Shiraishi (this pair won against GP, and GP won against Data Pair... GP DP and K/S are all better than WoK for me :/ )

 

[Ninomiya]

@Eiji Kikumaru,
I also like Jirou, but after being neglected since his appearance, there just isn't enough to go by that he can still win matches.
Konjiki can also be argued to defeat Jirou may I add.

Jirou lost his argument against Kenya. But against Konjiki, everybody was ignorant and ignored anything against him.
It was far worse with WoK. Everybody suddenly involved the plot saying they can't lose.

Nobody actually ever gave reasoning for WoK. Disappointed in how people overrated them despite their loss to Washio/Suzuki.

 

[Hardy]

WoK discussions sucked, it was useless to fight against them . I remember that in every single match, every one was like "...and Chitose has Saiki", it was impossible lol

Kaoz, do a makeshift pairs tournament sometime :3

 

[FrostyMouse]

I just believe in Shiraishi/Akaya.

I know!!!
That just left me confused. To be so retarded and keep mentioning SKnK lol. That was just a joke.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Remember though, in a tournament where argument has no value and it's only about the vote count, you're apt to get silly arguments.

That's what I realized too late.
I realized that extremely few people were waiting until later to cast their votes or open to changing their vote.
People just voted for who they liked.

Like how Fuji got actual votes against Sanada and Yuki.
Like how Kintaro got actual votes against Yuki.
They stood out to me but there were some other ones where a discussion wasn't too necessary but votes for characters that would realistically be comfortably defeated were rather high.

 

[Hardy]

Lol about the Fuji thing, I couldn't control myself, I knew he was going to lose both matches anyway (although his match with Sanada was a close one).

 

[-Ken-]

WoK argument annoy greatly annoys me. No one presented any actual argument that they'll might win. They just say "plot". At first, I find that kinda okayish. So I go ahead and use those same argument for Echizen. But Echizen fanbase isn't as strong as WoK. Even with his next match as clear as day that it's going to be with someone higher than no.5, something that wasn't even nearly confirm with WoK, Echizen still lost his match. Even without those things, we never once saw Echizen fail to improve to beat his opponents. He and Sanada had massive gap when they fought in Kantou, yet Echizen close it.

Sure, he lost to Tokugawa, who is amongst the 2/3 strongest HS not counting Genius 10. Oh, and Nanjiroh. Are you seriously counting Nanjiroh?

 

[Fayte]

I'm going with Data pair. I don't think anybody on this list can touch them.

 

[LetalHawk]

And Akutsu and Kawamura? Akutsu could KO Inui and Yanagi

 

[Fayte]

And Akutsu and Kawamura? Akutsu could KO Inui and Yanagi

Yanagi has about as much technique as Fuji, and Inui has technique AND power. None of them will be effected by Akutsu and Kawamura in terms of power.

 

[Ninomiya]

Yanagi has about as much technique as Fuji, and Inui has technique AND power. None of them will be effected by Akutsu and Kawamura in terms of power.

Akutsu has 5 at once.
And I don't know what makes you think Yanagi has Fuji's technique.

Fuji has Closed Eyes. His technique and abilities lift. Unless you meant Base Stats which I agree with.
Inui in terms of Power shouldn't be able to compete with the current Kawamura however.

Although 5 at once isn't much, considering Ryoma was given 10 at once, and Sanada has BA on top of it,
I reckon some kind of damage could be done.
Definetely no shut-out here. Although Inui and Yanagi could win this.

I think I might change my vote for Data Pair now.

They might depending on whether or not they can collect data.

Akutsu will most likely be having his match with Genius 10. We don't know the result of this match yet, but I'm guessing he's stronger than both Renji, who lost to number 17.

Kawamura seems to be the weaker one here, but I don't know if the data pair have enough tech to negate a shot than break the spotlight. Kawamura isn't to be underestimate, for sure.
