This is an epic match between good all around type of players, but who do you think will win? And if you think so, can you state your reasons? Thank you.
Yukimura crushes Atobe 6-0.This is an epic match between good all around type of players, but who do you think will win? And if you think so, can you state your reasons? Thank you.
So yeah, Atobe unless his stats are significantly weaker than Yukimura's.[2012-05-15 16:25:49] Kaoz I actually think Atobe might beat Yukimura atm.. it depends on how much Yukimura can push Atobe around
[2012-05-15 16:29:11] FrostyMouse Theoretically, AK should work against Yuki.
[2012-05-15 16:29:45] Kaoz yes, that's why the question is whether Yukimura can force Atobe to focus his Insight on something else
[2012-05-15 16:30:37] FrostyMouse Considering that we'll never see Yuki blasting people off the court again like in the beginning of Echizen vs Yuki, as long as Atobe can rally, then Yuki can't.
[2012-05-15 16:30:51] Kaoz pretty much
[2012-05-15 16:31:14] FrostyMouse We don't know if Atobe's rallying skills are that high of a level, but he must've improved when he sort of lasted against Irie and he was surviving 1 v 2 against Ochi/Mouri.
[2012-05-15 16:31:18] Kaoz basically it depends on how their bases match against each other
[2012-05-15 16:31:53] FrostyMouse Yeah.
[2012-05-15 16:32:13] Kaoz well, I doubt that he could use AK if he had to run around like in the 1 vs 2
[2012-05-15 16:32:15] FrostyMouse Now, if Yuki ever gets an actual shot, it'll definitely swing more into his favor.
[2012-05-15 16:32:43] Kaoz yeah
[2012-05-15 16:32:47] FrostyMouse Perhaps not, but he was still surviving.
[2012-05-15 16:33:00] Kaoz well, surviving isn't enough against Yukimura
[2012-05-15 16:33:39] Kaoz if you only survive you get yipped
[2012-05-15 16:34:34] FrostyMouse Well, Sanada and Fuwa were technically forcing the play against Yuki, but they weren't strong enough to overcome him. In reality though, it was Yuki who was surviving, even though it came to the same conclusion.
[2012-05-15 16:36:31] Kaoz we don't really know how well Yukimura would do offensively.. we know that he has good stats all around, but no clue how far above Atobe's they are
[2012-05-15 16:37:45] FrostyMouse Well, see, I think Yuki got a downgrade in SPoT.
[2012-05-15 16:37:58] FrostyMouse He needed to look awesome as he was the final boss of PoT, but we'll never see him blasting people off the court again.
[2012-05-15 16:38:12] Kaoz no, but he doesn't necessarily need to do that
[2012-05-15 16:38:30] FrostyMouse That was significantly good offense.
[2012-05-15 16:38:45] FrostyMouse Since then, we haven't seen that type of power or anything, only defense.
[2012-05-15 16:38:51] Kaoz I'd say it was more Echizen still being relatively weak at the beginning of the match
[2012-05-15 16:39:17] FrostyMouse I don't know.
[2012-05-15 16:39:59] FrostyMouse If Echizen could probably find a way to stop Rai or whatever, if you think he could, I don't think he could've been that weak...
[2012-05-15 16:40:33] Kaoz I'm not sure whether Sanada used the actual shot against him, seeing as Echizen only copied the first part
[2012-05-15 16:40:43] FrostyMouse Yeah, I know.
[2012-05-15 16:41:16] Kaoz Sanada still wanted Rikkai to win, and maybe he wasn't sure whether Yukimura could handle the stroke
[2012-05-15 16:41:43] FrostyMouse To be honest, I'm not sure that he cared about Rikkai winning as much at that point.
[2012-05-15 16:42:05] Kaoz because he defeated Tezuka already?
[2012-05-15 16:42:09] FrostyMouse He got his win over, and finally established a friendship with, Tezuka, so that might've been enough.
[2012-05-15 16:42:14] Kaoz maybe
[2012-05-15 16:50:32] Kaoz that being said, for the time being and until Yukimura shows something more impressive, I'd lean towards Atobe winning in a direct match
Is this a joke? ATOBE?So yeah, Atobe unless his stats are significantly weaker than Yukimura's.
It could be a match up specific thing.Is this a joke? ATOBE?
Seriously, I'll accept Atobe has improved, but remember Yukimura ALSO improved, it's all about Yukimura returns all of Atobe's shot, then makes him blind before he activates AK or when he activates it and then game over.
There's no way Atobe would defeat Yukimura atm. If he doesn't stand a chance against Sanada, Echizen, and probably Akutsu, there's no way Atobe's going to win this.
And yes, his stats are weaker than Yukimura, bet that. Atobe can't return a special technique once he sees it, Yukimura can. Yukimura's yips are too much for him, Atobe will never be stronger than Yukimura. Yukimura's base tennis and shots are better than Atobe's, he could hit winners against him and make him run around the court, that way, AK will never work. Plus, he forces him into a long rally and yips him, and then Atobe is lost.
6-0 all the way for Yukimura. I want to hear somebody saying that Atobe is capable of beating him, when there's no proof and Yukimura has more than enough points in his favor to crush Atobe.
What do you mean by that?It could be a match up specific thing.
No, I'm completly serious given the conditions I outlined.Is this a joke? ATOBE?
You see, that's kind of where the problem is. How is he supposed to return shots aimed at his absolute blind spots? It takes a while for Yips to set in.Seriously, I'll accept Atobe has improved, but remember Yukimura ALSO improved, it's all about Yukimura returns all of Atobe's shot, then makes him blind before he activates AK or when he activates it and then game over.
How much weaker is the question. If he doesn't get pushed around like against Irie, there's nothing Yukimura has. And who cares whether he can see through special techniques, Yukimura doesn't have any (and I'd like to see Yukimura hiding his absolute blind spots).And yes, his stats are weaker than Yukimura, bet that. Atobe can't return a special technique once he sees it, Yukimura
Sanada has Rai, Echizen has Hyakuren, Akutsu has changing corner shot. Yukimura has nothing for offense.There's no way Atobe would defeat Yukimura atm. If he doesn't stand a chance against Sanada, Echizen, and probably Akutsu, there's no way Atobe's going to win this.can.
I never said he was stronger overall, just that he would have an advantage in this specific match-up. Yukimura still does better against basically everyone else imo.Yukimura's yips are too much for him, Atobe will never be stronger than Yukimura.
Yukimura could hit winners against Atobe? Where are you getting that from if I may ask?Yukimura's base tennis and shots are better than Atobe's, he could hit winners against him and make him run around the court, that way, AK will never work.
If they have an actual rally, as long as Atobe doesn't get completly dominated (in which case Yukimura could hit winners and see above), he can use AK and score, making Yips useless.Plus, he forces him into a long rally and yips him, and then Atobe is lost.
Actually, there's nothing to suggest that Atobe has a limit in using AK.Also, Atobe's only weapon to actually score some points is AK, but he only can use it for a short period of time, plus Yukimura forcing him to run around the court, then he doesn't have anything to face him.
Guess what, there's no proof of the opposite either. Atobe has AK in his favour, Yukimura has probably higher stats. The question is what wins out in the end.6-0 all the way for Yukimura. I want to hear somebody saying that Atobe is capable of beating him, when there's no proof and Yukimura has more than enough points in his favor to crush Atobe.
Why didnt he use AK right throughout is 170+ point tie-break with Irie?Actually, there's nothing to suggest that Atobe has a limit in using AK.
You dont have to be dominated actually.If they have an actual rally, as long as Atobe doesn't get completly dominated (in which case Yukimura could hit winners and see above), he can use AK and score, making Yips useless.
Stop it. If your gonna suggest Atobe > Irie if it weren't for his leg injury then we can't go anywhere.Well, Atobe actually completely dominated Irie as far as we see until his leg injury. So that could be limitation
So, is this topic of injured Atobe VS Yukimura?
Irie let him win.Well, Atobe actually completely dominated Irie as far as we see until his leg injury.
Show me a page before leg injury that Irie score a point pass Atobe Kingdom Atobe, please, then. If not. My point count as fact.Stop it. If your gonna suggest Atobe > Irie if it weren't for his leg injury then we can't go anywhere.
Otherwise Atobe > A lot of Top 10 players.
And guess what? He's struggling against No.s 9 and 10 even with Nationals!Tezuka by his side in the form of Niou.
Not mentioned. Just a theory.Show me a page before leg injury that Irie score a point pass Atobe Kingdom Atobe, please, then. If not. My point count as fact.
I also might be confusing this with some discussion or fanfic, but isn't it mention Atobe still feeling his leg injury and so he can only challenge no 9-10?
Correction:Uninjure Atobe Kingdom>Irie
