Hmmm Javimgols list is a power ladder

Faytes list is getting the job done in 3 sets...

Faytes lineup makes more sense.

 

[Fayte]

My rikkai lineup is unbeatable. It's like even if you manage to make it to singles 1, the only person waiting for you is Sanada. Only a team of 7 Echizens would stand a chance.

That's true, Fayte's is more effective. But in the Prince of tennis, the best doubles always plays in D1, and best singles in S2 and S1. It's a law that only only break (and not always) "half great half poor" teams like Fudoumine or Higa

 

[Atobe the king]

Not really, Seigaku's line up wasn't the power ladder.

Inui is an excellent singles player who never played a singles match, they had Fuji in doubles 3 against Higa and put Kikumaru in singles..they had Ryoma as singles one against Hyotei before he even surpassed Tezuka.

My rikkai lineup is unbeatable. It's like even if you manage to make it to singles 1, the only person waiting for you is Sanada. Only a team of 7 Echizens would stand a chance.

Every conceivable Rikkai line up is unbeatable. They don't even need Yukimura, he was like a reserve player any way.

 

[JyAZ]

The thing is, however, if all teams set up the "Win in 3" strategy, none of the teams would win in 3 except maybe against Higa or Fudoumine.

 

[Atobe the king]

What makes you say that?

 

[JyAZ]

What makes you say that?

The only time we've seen a team winning in 3 was when the team's did it as a surprise. If all teams do it, there's not many chances for a team's starting 3 games to have completely superior players to the other team's 3. I said Higa and Fudoumine might get owned because the caliber of their players aren't that great compared to the h4xed teams. I think Tachibana is a great player, but we've seen him lose way too many times.

I think there are a few ways, only Seigaku, of course:

a) WITH HYPED RYOMA:S3 Fuji, D2 Golden Pair,and Hyped Ryoma in S2 or S1, where you want (that could be maybe even a 3-0)

b) NO HYPED RYOMA:Winning S3 (Fuji, for example), make a real Tezuka-Inui or Tezuka-Kaidoh, for example in D2, losing S2 and Golden Pair in D1. Or even better: S3 Ryoma pre-Yukimira, D2: Tezuka-Fuji, S2 lost, D1 Golden Pair

You could even throw in Inui at S3. He's beaten Renji before, so there's a chance.

Hyotei would be very close to winning, too. They would probably lose at 3-2, however.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Seigaku:

S3-Tezuka
D1-Golden Pair
S2-Echizen
D2-Inui-Kaidoh
S1-Fuji

Not many teams would resist that.

Rikkai:
Against a weaker/same level team:
S3-Sanada
D2-Kirihara-Renji
S2-Yukimura
D1-Jackal-Marui
S1-Yagyuu or Niou. Does it matter? This will be done by S2 FOR SURE.

Against a stronger teamhard to imagine, I know.)
S3-Yagyuu
D2-Renji+Sanada
S2-Niou
D1-Yukimura+Jackal
S1-Kirihara

Reasoning for vs stronger team:
If it's a stronger team than Rikkai, then we know that they are stronger than Mr.God and Mr.Spammerson. And they tend not to evolve much during their matches. So it would be up to the ones that can evolve during matches to win.

Yagyuu/Niou/Kirihara aren't strong if you compare them to Renji/Sanada/Yukimura, but they have more space to grow, especially given their personality.

Mr.INeverLoseMyCool
Mr.ITrickMorePeopleThanLoki
Mr.IWannaBeatThe3RikkaiDemons

When they lose their cool, pull off a beautiful xanatos gambit and compltely snap, they might as well go for the win.

Yeah, relying on plot devices instead of techniques might sound unreseaonable, but in rome, act like romans. And in a manga where playin tennis makes you a super saiyan, RELY ON PLOT DEVICES DAMMIT.

Hyotei

S3-Oshitari
D2-Mr.Overhyped Hiyoshi/Mr.zzzzzz Jirou
S2-Kabaji
D1-Silver pair
S1-Atobe

As for Fayte's lineup, I think Hyotei could beat them.

Hyotei vs Fayte's lineup:

S3-Oshitari(Most difficult match. Might need some training from hell)
D2-Silver Pair. It would be a tough, tough match, but they just might win.
S2-Kabaji. No way in hell they would win, so might as well have some fun watchin Jesus boy fight a mirror.
D1-Hiyoshi/Jirou. They are going to lose. Simple as that. Go get a drink instead of watching this match.
S1-Atobe. It would come down to Atobe vs Sanada.

I thought about putting Kabaji in S3 against Renji, but if Mr.TheMaster(I compare Inui and Renji to the Doctor and the master from doctor who)
couldn't read HIMSELF enough to know where his own blind spots where to get Kabaji off guard, he wouldn't be the data tennis master he is today. So Kabaji would have 0 chances of winning.

The plan is Oshitari+Silver pair winning, and then it would come down to Sanada vs Atobe. But the true purpose of the match would be to watch Jesus boy fighting Kabaji. No way Kabaji would win, but it would be fun to watch.

 

[Fayte]

If it came to Atobe vs Sanada in the end, Atobe would still lose.

That would fall under our already-long-and-probably-going-to-get-longer-world-of-ice-vs-rai debate.

It was WoI vs In that was the debate. Everyone knows Rai already counters WoI because of the teleport factor. And I don't want to hear anyone give me that crap about Sanada not knowing where to teleport. That is absolutely absurd for a fictional series and beyond a stretch.

See, I could argue that ignoring logic because it does not support your argument is not very persuasive.

But if I remember correctly, last time Atobe asked us to stop discussing that, so let's do that.

Can we just agree on "no one knows who would win between those two"?

 

[JyAZ]

Konomi's 22 sided die knows. =D

My logic tells me that you should have stopped reading Prince of Tennis (If you are looking to attach logic to the series) after the first logic factor was thrown out the window. A move which will remain namelessZeroshikidropshot.

Okay lets be civil guys.

Fayte he decided not to spark an argument, no reason to post what you posted.

You have ruined my first topic XD
And about line-ups: I read (i don´t remember where) that Konomi thought to put Fuji in Rikkai in the Nationals or sth like that.
Maybe could sound as if Seigaku would have lost, but look this:
He didn´t anything interesting for Seigaku (won a doubles match that, after the 5-0, sound irrelevant, and a loose in SF) in Nationals till the Final. And in that final, the other single point could have been won by Tezuka.Or Super-Extra-Hyped Momo maybe would have won Nioh (in this forum, everybody thinks Momo is great and Nioh just good, I think completely different)
What do you think? Seigaku would have won without Fuji? Or maybe they even wouldn´t have defeated Higa?
