I beg of you Shizu, you're the only one who can do it. Please get to the finals and smash that Kan-spamming brat once and for all ... the short haired one, not the blonde.

Especially, if Saki is chaining it 3 times in row, and you can make saki miss her winning tile.

Anyway, I sincerely hope that Shizu's ability is not 'imagine breaker' or she wouldn't use it against Saki for the monkey's sake. The last time a power suppressor was around Saki, it broke into pieces even when it was in another room. Beside that, I have a feeling that successfully stopping Saki's rinshan kaihou is not going to work out for the best interest of her opponents. Rinshan Kaihou and Saki's obsession with winning with that yaku is one of the few weakspots in her play. Its a pattern that one can exploit. But, there has been a handful of evidence now that it is not a pattern that she must adhere to. On balance, I believe Saki's tendency to limit herself to rinshan is more of a liability/handicap than anything else. If Shizu or anyone else decided to disable that yaku, it might prompt Saki to decide to aim for other yakus which as the show has shown she's perfectly able to do. So yeah...

Saki's playing style is pretty versatile. She even manage to change her playing style to detect Momo. She can use rinshan kaihou to win or to use it to advance the tile or stop someone from winning or just win the normal way.
I like Saki but she is scary specially her last fight where she discarded the tile she got from rinshan kaihou. Even the people watching are getting scared heck the pro player that watching it commented that what a monster. I like Saki but I don't like her playing style that kept to +-0 Specially her last fight where Himematsu was allowed to win because Saki allowed it. Her last winning score is just 400/800. Its barely enough to take the first place. She can win higher score which was proven when she was chasing Koromo but she can also hold back the score. She has perfect control over it that after the fight and you realize how much of a monster is your opponent you begun to get angry and scared. You can't understand her much which unlike her sister which is sure to get higher score for each round. Saki will do whatever suit here.

^^; Yea like 2-turn-kokushi tenpai Saki made at the beginning of the series. And in the match against Kasumi, Saki win a mangan without rinshan... *Random thought* *sigh* If I were Hisa, I would drag Saki to a psychologist and give her medicine to *stabilize* her mood because I feel Saki's biggest obstacle is her self (and her unstable mood which result in unstable hax) *Even more random thought* If Shizu really did have IB and use it on Saki... it's a 50% chance that both Miyanaga will have a record of making their opponent rushed to the hospital... (50-50 depends on Saki's current mood) |

Wonder what Kyouko's reaction would be if she somehow can see that Saki is *afraid* of her... |

So what is/was exactly Saki's sins?
The fact that she wins? Made someone cry? If so then all of them are in the same boat... Indeed Shizu manage to prevent 2 out of 3 haitei from Koromo but there's still that 1/3 chance and there's no moon at that time... Shizu's situation will be similar to that cat during the finals of Saki S1. There's two OP demon and focusing in either of them and not the both of them is suicidal... Hope Shiratodai wins first place... |

With Awai turn out to be weaker than we thought, there has to be other person at the table that can at least make Saki shock or else the game will be too easy. (I'm hoping that someone from Rinkai can do that) What will make the final match difference from the past matches is that we already known all characters/teams as well as their playstyle in that game , so the plot like "I will do nothing untill other players show what they got (+finish their flashback), then I will start to move" like what Saki usually do should not work here. (Hopefully) Most part of chapters in final round will focus purely on the game, and if Saki can easily dominate everyone from the start, it will be boring right? Quote:

Isn't an immortal monkey far worst than a strong character?
Even if she is immortal as per se it really doesn't equate her for being invincible so she's still beatable... Last edited by NeutralZero; 2013-02-10 at 09:34. Reason: add on |

(Lecture time) When you fight with Monster, you don't fight with power, you fight with the will and the motivation! When your will power is stonger than monsters' confidence, they will start to lost their confidence and become weaker or lose their clam. Remember: What important is will, hope and motivation! Even "strong" characters like Saki has become nothing but an air when she lost them. (well, she recovered later but when she was in that state, shewas nothing but the air on the table. ). And from what I see, Shizuno, so far, is one of few character in Saki franchise that never lost her will, she didn't need Yuri partner or teammates to cheer her up from the despair (when she was in a dire situation). She has everything she need to fight monster player. She is very suitable to be one of 4 players in the final round's captain match even if she can't win. .................................................. TL;DR : I didn't say that Shizuno can win Saki or being unbeatable. What I say is that Shizuno won't just be there to get rape without trying to fight back. Causing annoyance and chaos on the table are the best thing she can do and that's all I ask from her character.

Because if this is the case, and afterward Rinkai advances to the final, then for the first time we will be having a captain battle made entirely of first years. It would be funny since captain match is consider the most stressful position. One would rather expect a more experienced and composed third year vaterian for that position, and yet those top rank teams just let buncha young players running amock. Not that I'm complaining. |

well with the current development of saki no wonder some may think she fit to be the final boss damn even her theme songs suits for a villain (overwhelming power comes, God or demon, domain of God)

Yes, but you forget about Awai's 5 shaten, meaning she's save to call kan and not be ronned by Saki. Plus what if its a case of Saki only having a valid Yaku is through Rinshan Kaihou Quote:
2) Mako can still sense other players hands when they are coming together. 3) I don't think that rubber band means anything 4) Yeah real smart, give Saki something to pissed off about. 5) Add this to 4 and you just made yourself the worst enemy of Saki. Although if you also eat Yuuki's tacos in front of Yuuki, may also send Saki into extreme rape mode with you as her target. Quote:

Of course I'd love it was a 13 orphans, after we had yakuman spams from Takami, a renchen yakuman from Yuuki, Teru snowballing into her nine gates, having Kuro pull of 4 melded kan with it being a dora bomb, have Mako get an all greens yakuman, because damn it she deserves after all the crap she went through with Kaori, even make Hisa have high scoring hell wait. I can't think of anything else amazing for the others to do. But it'd be funny if this happened and they had to keep changing pros because of the ridiculous fetes the girls are pulling off and causing the pros to faint each, with it finishing with the last pro just going 'Screw it, I'm done' and leaving.

Awai: How dare she touch Teru's younger sister, before I could eat her. Yep I'm saying Awai would've be the one to finally get on top of Saki Quote:

Actually by having 2 monsters fight each other means that you could sneak by them a few turns, but only a few. Also Shizu's situation is possibly different from Kana's in that she could become the 3rd dangerous player who appears this year, meaning the captains final could have 2 monsters and a monster slayer.

And yes it would be a boring game if Saki just dominated from the start. Quote:

That would only leave Choe for captain position, and she seems better suited for the lieutenant position. Quote:
I get the feeling that Hao would be the sergeant. Also anyone notice that Megan is Rinkai's only team veteran from last year. On another note, something that I would love to happen in the Individuals is have Sumire and Teru take on Nodoka and Saki. Here's how the match could play out: Spoiler for Note: Not to be taken Seriously:
Something else, I seriously wonder how the hell some girls discovered their abilities. Examples like Yuu and Kuro are clear cases of they noticed them, while cases like Mairu and Himeko really make you wonder, especially with how Ryuuka discovered her combination with Toki. Were Himeko and Mairu just getting closer 1 day, then their middle school adviser noticed that Himeko was getting double the amounts of Mairu's wins, or did Mairu do something to transfer her skills over to Himeko like Toki did with Ryuuka. It'd be even more hilarious if Takami, Seiko and Awai found out about their abilities after Teru played them, and she told them what she saw to them. Last edited by Bladezer; 2013-02-11 at 17:23. |

Lesson learned... don't go monster-slaying in the presence of another monster because it's not just very dangerous but you could also find yourself in a world of hurt... to go up against monsters is to be a monster yourself or you'll just going to be another peon to be sacrificed...
