Discussion Shin Prince of Tennis Tournament Discussion Thread

[Tsukihime no uta]

I think either 3 or 4 days is a good pace. Most discussions can finish in one or two, but some do require a little bit longer.

 

[-Ken-]

I think 3 days are about right. 4 feel too long somehow, and drag out unend discussion if any into something that is just repeating most of the time.

Because of the given opinions and the fact that there was no discussion today, I decided to shorten the Round 2 matches to 3 days per match. If anyone feels like that's too little time, please either post here or let me know via PM.

did tezuka's team play no one in round 1? and automatically moved to round 2?

Personal rant
i personally think that kintaro was overrated. he should have lost vs ochi.

ochi has 1) mach serve , 2) evil eye
mach serve is acknowledged by fuji, yukimura, and shiraishi for its effectiveness. I think that ochi would ace alot vs kintaro.
if tezuka/niou clone couldnt return it i doubt kintaro would have. atobe only returned it due to atobe kingdom, he was prepared for it.

Evil eye would have made kintaro be unconfident and miss his shots and special moves.
sure kintaro has his super atk, but that uses alot of stamina when used alot, and ochi can just give him evil eye or not return it.

comparing kintaro's vs atobe's mental ability, atobe is assumed way better, and kintaro having a child like mentalitiy would probably crumble.

kintaro's shots, which are assumed strong can be returned with 2handed shot.
Kaoz delete this post if its not appropriate thanks.

The reasoning you just stated, Kaoz and I mentioned. Nobody payed it any attention though.

this could be another rikkai final if sanada and yukimura's team wins.

could be yips vs black aura. or yips vs oni or genius vs Sanada.

i'm looking forward to all these possibilities.

 

[LetalHawk]

Sanada vs Oni: Sanada
Yukimura vs Fuji: Yukimura

Yukimura vs Sanada in the end.

 

[ashore]

nice predictions i look forward to discussion when the match occurs.

 

[Hardy]

I'm really hoping that Fuji gets to the final and wins Singles 1 there. He's the Cinderella of this 4 monsters.

He'll lose dude, and I would love to see him in the finals, but with his current level, he'd get owned by Oni, Yuki or Sanada

I like Fuji, but he will die against so many people right now. It's annoying he hasn't been shown to upgrade yet.
But i'm hopeful for big things for him in 2013.

So hyped for Fuji's match lol... his and Golden Pair were my favorite in PoT. I don't understand why Marui and Kite are playing at all... they shouldn't be in the plot at all for such an important match.
