Will Kyouko manage to be a real thorn in the neck for Saki in the captain match?
She did receive some notes/memos from pros... Well Kyouko was mentioned to be a cautious one so it can't be help if Saki is also cautious of her... In this current match just hope Himematsu went down the drain Rather have Kiyosumi and the mix race team to enter in the finals than Kiyosumi and Himematsu again... The captain match in the finals is something that will certainly gives kyouko nightmares |

saki's +/- zero is Qtr final is speciall imo, because she manipulated everyone scores to somehow even tho saki got +/- zero but she still finished 1st which is ussually not neccessary in her usual +/- zero if we look at from the begining of this series as references (someone in anime thread questioning about why saki passed on 6 sou that she draw from dead wall, i believe this is the reason. if she treat this as match with regular 25000 as starting point then its necessary to bring down everyone and raised kyokou's scores) . well its just happen kyouko come to 2nd when saki do this and its also just happen among all other 3 players on Qtr match only kyouko that once successfully disrupted saki for making kan (tho i believe she done this unintentionally ), but that alone is enough for saki to warry about kyouko right as for the possible final match, shizono might able to stop saki from getting rinshan kaiho, and awai 5 shanten might able to slow down saki to gather her kans material, but i think as long as saki still able to make kans i believe she will able to find a way to overcome this, just like what she did when she against koromo.

let see, saki hmm... if her opponents will be able to stop her +/- zero and prevent her for making any kans what would left with saki then? (inner demon lord? lol)
Joke aside I think her +/- zero is actually like a seal blocking her true potential. about her kans it seems like she's just favoring that move because she's so attach with that yaku after all it was something that teru told her about. so if those two things will be stop by her opponents by any means its probably time for saki to show some development and open up to the readers, I mean she's like one of the biggest mystery of this series, (beside people wondering where are all the panties have gone to.) what am I saying is that by countering saki and preventing her to do her "defense mechanism" (+/- zero, kans) sort of, might actually turnout a counterproductive moves for them later on as she might go offensive with them. remember in the art of war sun tzu said "Put the army in the face of death, where there is no escape – and they will not flee or be afraid; there is nothing they cannot achieve." |

Spoiler for the big what if:
Jindai is ridiculously cute, and very headstrong/stubborn. Blowing that swim ring by mouth is exhaustive... Edit: Saki blooming on Shizu's turf is something that we've been waiting to see, although does that mean a win for Kiyosumi or not is another story. There's still a lot for Saki to resolve in the individuals, after all.

when Shizu play with Koromo
(if I'm not mistaken about the number of hands) play 5 hand; 1-3 Koromo win with continuous haitei 4-5 Shizu nullified Koromo's haitei if Koromo played like... Koromo then the win on those 1-3 got to be big, thus on 4 the point gap has to be huge so "Shizuno's ability only triggers when the scores of all four teams are very close" is kind of moot here |

But yeah, from an author's point of view, her ability is really a rabbit pulled from a hat, since there was no foreshadowing. From our point of view, the introduction also practically makes no sense. Hopefully, Ritz has something in mind for the finals, and we can see it in some form one day |

I held strong in my believe that Shizu's ability is an asspull .__.
(a good explanation for it would be welcome, still won't change the asspull feeling though >_>) ah the final... how many more year would that take..... ^^; |

Figuring that Nodoka was a beast in the online world, maybe powers don't work there? |

--- Some power is just not suitable in the world of 101010 Though some that didn't directly manipulate the table might work; like Toki's future sight, Mako's face/river-seeing Koromo's instinct (not the no-tenpai hell) might work too (since there are flashbacks showing Koromo winning in more then just mahjong, I assume that instinct is applicable to online too) |

Chances are that any power that affects flow or presence would be ineffective online (Saki's kan, Hisa's bad waits, Koromo's iishanten-hell, Momo's stealth, and probably Teru's demonic mirror and point inflation). As eavein pointed out, powers that don't directly affect the game might still work (Toki's future sight, Mako's spindle territory). |

From the anime sub, it doesn't seem to me that Hayarin ever considered Usuzan as a potentially strong contender in the tournament or anything like that. She just, you know, don't like that team. |

urgh my internet is so slow it took 1 minute to load 3 second of video x__x
What did Hayarin said in the anime? add : 1/2 joking, 1/2 complementing the probability of it being true I think she said something like "there is one team that Hayarin absolutely did not want to face" - in the manga combined with the scary silhouette, it create a "monster team" effect ^^; now that we know how bad usuzan's starting player is, we might be able to translate that sentence into -> 'Hayarin did not want to face them because Hayarin will get bored 4/5 of the time' xD |
