Theory Final Tournament Line-up Discussion/Predictions

[mathematicianrcg]

There's too many singles players. So that make senses. Even Fuji got regulate to doubles and we knows he's equal to current Ryoma.

Yes.

Thats why Konomi is putting Niou/Yagyuu as the doubles specialists next WC.

And probably Mouri/Yanagi. Both Doubles players too.

Meanwhile players like Fuji, Akaya, Kin can be all versatile players who play both singles and doubles

Guys, I have a fun question. If you are Mifune. How will you select lineups for games against Germany and Spain???

RULE: A player cannot play in both semis and finals. Only in 1 round. Because Japanese players hurt themselves when playing to the point that they cannot play the next round.

RULE 2: 4 HSERS, 3 MSERS RULE

This is mine

VS GERMANY:

S3: Oni
D2: Duke/Niou
S2: Tanegashima
D1: Atobe/Fuji
S1: BYOUDOUIN (only choice against VOLK)

VS SPAIN:

S3: Irie
D2: Ochi/Mouri
S2: Ryoma
D1: Ohmagari/Kintarou
S1: Tokugawa

Damn. Making lineups are hard when players are not available for 2 consecutive rounds. Unlike Germany who has an 8 man rotation every round.

 

[-Ken-]

S3: Oichi so QP wouldn't get the upgrade
D2: Duke/Niou (Win)
S2: Yukimura because no matter who is put here it's useless
D1: Tanegashima/Kirihara (Win)
S1: Byoudonin (Win)

S3: Atobe because we know he'll win
D2: Kintarou/Ohmagari because Kintarou can get the upgrade to use for Japan for the next 3 years
S2: Ryoma
D1: Oni/Irie
S1: Tokugawa

Then you basically just agreed with Mifunes Decisions. And Japan Coaches didnt know QP's UA Upgrade requirement too. So, probably if you have no intel, you would go with Oni still.

Maybe that VS Germany Lineup was really the best selected (by coaches) lineup of Japan.

Remember guys, (VS Spain ) Japan Lineup is not selected by Coaches. But (VS Germany) Lineup is selected by Coaches.

I am not saying Finals Lineup Japan will not surpass the Semis one. But in that time. Seemed like that was the best choice.

And I am not sure Japan Coaches have Intel against Spain.

I am leaning towards No. But they were able to guess Romeo's spot. And correctly put Atobe there.
