Topic for discussion: Best Sumo Players

Post by Mecca »

This topic for discussion came up in CTOS today. Someone asked "Who is the best sumo player?"

Based on reputation and Competition performance I said (TX) Durka.

This made me wonder, who are some of the best sumo players out there?

These are just some people who I have noticed that are usually at an exceptionally high performance level. (or did when they used to be active)

(In no particular order)
(TX) Durka
(TX) Liza
(SP) Psycho
(WW) Punish
Lizmatic
Carnage


Some other players who are usually at a pretty high performance level, but are not quite the BEST (just my opinion again):

(In no particular order)
(SP) Insanity
(ID) Killer
(WW) Spook
(TX) Hoax
(>>) Viper
(>>) 27club
(>>) FoFo
PresSure (Sorry if I capitalized the wrong 's')


I KNOW I missed a ton, toss out some more names.

Best sumo players; discuss.

sumo is all about luck...

...unless 1vs1
"You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one;
I hope some day you will join us, and the world can live as one"


“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

I believe that to truly love is the ultimate expression of the will to live.

Actually, I figured out a new way to score sumo so it takes out some of the luck factor. But of course, everyone would hate it so I won't release them. But yeah, the scoring in regular sumo is retarded. Winning is all luck. 1v1 is where it's at (for now).

And I don't know who the best sumo players are, but I am certainly one of the worst.

If I were to add to the list I'd include:

(CT) emmy
(CT) K-Yo

It is impossible to kill Durka; when wanting to take a break, he will suicide into your wall, but the damned game thinks he got killed...lies!

I'd say Durka or Lackadaisical, and between the two it's very difficult to choose.

:idea: Don't choose and just refer to them generically as Lackadurksical.
