2025-01-24 17:26:56 +0000 UTCHoshoryu has a nearly perfect tachiai every time. In this match he beat Kinbozan for speed and got his feet planted. Kinbozan likes to thrust his entire mass over his center of gravity to blow his opponent back but it leaves him vulnerable to getting stood up. I'm not sure what the solution for Kinbo is.. perhaps mixing up his initial charge a bit so he's not so predictable. He has the weight for a good low planted charge, and even if he only used it once in awhile it would keep his opponents guessing.
