Playstyle
The Sumo Wrestler puts almost everything into strength and endurance and very little into agility and speed. It has no starting bonus, which balance tests showed was the fair choice. Expect a fighter that hits hard, takes a lot of punishment and acts less often than the others.
Look and attack
Huge, with a topknot, a blue mawashi with fringes and bare feet. Its attack is a palm thrust. Clothing cosmetics dye the mawashi. Rival sumo wrestlers use invented ring names (shikona) such as Onami or Iwafuji.
Good matches
- Rootgrip: throws, pins and an immovable stance. It is the type's favoured school.
- Skills that add endurance or armour, since the Sumo wants to outlast, not out-dodge.
