Match Tanegashima VS Ralph

[mathematicianrcg]

While, there is a weekly matchup happening. Want to add another side matchup to discuss.

Tanegashima (With his New Void Techniques) VS Ralph (Pre Consume of course)

Who will win in a 3 set match?

Tanegashima is the only G5 Member who doesn't kill himself by using his ultimate techniques. I mean his techniques doesn't required his body to physically suffer or be hurt. He is a defensive specialist expert in voiding techniques.

Ralph on the other hand can turn his weakness into strength. He defeated a Pro Swiss Captain Amadeus in a Close Match.
He is also able to unite strong USA players with Big ego. Using his combination of Talent and Leadership.

Now, who will win in a 3 set match?

 

[Tavore]

Gonna go with Ralph he defeated Amadeus who I consider the 3rd strongest pro.

 

[mathematicianrcg]

wow. Ralph is winning the poll convincingly.

I guess the only G5 member who can challenge and beat the Big 5 Captains are Byodoin and Tokugawa

So I guess posters here are implying Tanegashima will lose to Ralph, Amadeus, and even Camus

Interesting. I think I should have used Oni instead.

Do you think Ralph beat Oni too?

The problem is that Ralph is kind of a whatever character that barely got any real screen time playing tennis.

I have Ralph=~Amadeus=~Bismarck (with Amadeus being a tiny bit better thanks to his little experience as a Pro, maybe) and Tanegashima was better than Bismarck once he unlocked the Ultimate Void. It's close, but I give it to Tanegashima.

Ralph had a perfect counter for Amadeus' playstyle and yet he only broke the Swiss' player once in a match that went to 3 sets. I'm not as high on him as the rest, I guess.

Well, it is also mentioned that

"Rhinehart has managed to unite an army of unorganized elites and created the ultimate team"

It is difficult because We don't see USA Players much in action. But they defeated Switzerland (BEST LINEUP) who defeated Japan.

So, USA players are no Joke. They are champions or runner ups in each state.

Alan would have beaten Peter. The same Peter who destroyed Ohmagari (best G10 Doubles Player) in doubles . Kiko destroyed Henri. And Dodo managed to carry his weak Mser partner.

Ryoma even said during (Germany VS Japan Pre World Cup Match) that USA would have beaten Japan if they will fight right there that time. (Ryoma has known both teams capabilities)

(Though G10 players all evolved and improved now)

But Ralph was able to Beat all these USA reps one by one to destroy their over ego.
(At least, that's how I implied he did)

USA Players were not stomped by Spain too.

For S3, Spain only won 6-4, 7-5. Though in D2, Spain won 6-3,6-3

Honestly,

I cannot imagine Tanegashima beating Dodo, Kiko, and Alan one by one. The way Ralph was implied did.

That wasn't implied at all imo tho, if he had won against them all we'd know. Nor do we know how strong anyone that you listed there is. What does "State champion / Runner-up" even mean for us? How do we know Kaji, Fuwa, Horio cannot win the North Carolina championship or whatever?

Peter didn't destroy Ohmagari at all, it's not a singles match. And Switzerland won 6-3, even if Kite had just been taught Nitouryuu.

Ryoma didn't know the true power of any single HSer, they all held back at the camp. We don't even know the name of USA's MSers, how can we even think they can beat Yukimura, Kintarou and Atobe?

We don't know who played against Spain in those matches. Not even who played for USA, either.

Then, how did Ralph Unite these Elite Players with Big Egos?

Isnt it by kicking their asses one by one?

Because I doubt Egoistic Players will just fall to Ralph's flowery Words.

We don't know. We hardly know anything about the USA players to say they have massive egos like that. Kiko and Dodo are among their best players (if not the best, period) and seem open minded and friendly. They all probably just didn't care for the NT.

Also the fact that for some reason you think he beat them one after the other in a single day or something.

What have Kiko, Alan and Dodo shown for you to think they are better than Bismarck (who in turn, is weaker than Tanegashima)? We barely got info on them, it's extremely likely none of them are pros nor at that level. The best feat any of them have is Alan beating Peter who, based on Kuraraga (a character that got 2 panels in the manga), cannot be a LOT weaker than Amadeus. But he didn't fight head on, he exploited an old injury.

Volk reunited the entirety of Germany by just asking, and they all had different personalities and issues:

-Went to his brother for help even if he was busy... being a pro.

-Gave confidence to QP.

-Told Bismarck it would be the best for his career. Bismarck then recruited Sieg.

-Had been interested in Tezuka for ages and trained him personally.

The only one that wasn't recruited was Frankensteiner, who was the number 1 prospect in the country.

Switzerland's players seem rather conceited too, specially Henri, and yet they ride or die for Amadeus, the Charisma of the Swiss. Chris managed to keep JJ on check (THE most troublesome player we've known besides Akutsu) even if their ace is Crawford. Etc.

Wow.

Ralph dominated the Poll 10-1. Lmao.

Beating Amadeus is a very big feat I guess. Hehe
