I'm referring to the civil war king title...
i think fair statement is, one is a civil king contender
the other is certainly far from contender, he isn't even a feeder

no idea why one would even label ZQH as one...

never the less, this is a contender that has shown that TTBL matches are more important than WTT Contender.
the scheduling will be very interesting in 2026, where main players focus on smash and champion and leaving room for contenders point grabbers to up rankings, we should see more CHN vs JPN in these instances.

@Dan oughta make it interesting. Something like $5 for every ping pong ball if you make it to Top Contributor of the Month.
Some people thought there was money for being the top contributor in the month and did everything they could to win it some months. Then they learned I was insane lol.

Super is the only way now.
It's interesting, I can't control the Mizutani Super ZLC and I know quite a few players who stepped down from the Mizutani Super ZLC to the regular Mizutani and others who have no interest in switching. I agree though that other than the Mizutani SZLC, I see more SZLC around. I haven't checked the pros though - are you saying Franziska and Tiago have changed?

Nah, I was just joking. I personally don't care really much about what pros use. Without close-ups I couldn't even tell. Those two players I remembered because the handle is yellow and easy to tell. With the FZD series it's tricky. I don't know about Franziska and Tiago, but I forgot that Franziska's blade is a ZLC and LYJ is using one too. So more players than I assumed. I do think the ALC users are slowly switching to the SALC, though.

Satsuki Odo, Cheng I-Ching, and Qin Yuxuan all use Super ZLC as well.

Innerforce Supers are only a matter of time of course...
Is this not what the Harimoto Super ZLC is?

Actually looking at it, it is interesting

This is yesterday

This is right now

I posted 31 posts,
clicked 12 likes on others people's post,
and received 42 likes from others

You posted 29 posts, clicked 32 likes on others, and received 14 likes from others.

So the different between you and me by the past day is
I contributed to 31+12, or 43,
while you at a whopping 61 (29+32)!
You definitely the top daily contributor by far!

I on the other hand, my points rely on other's peoples contribution by gaining 42 while you got 14.
this 42 is almost more than what I posted and liked.

any ways, I know you super competitive and always want to win everything, like you always want the last say as many has PM me about.
So you do your thing on helping the forum and I do mine on helping the forum, and lets compare at month end on how much fighting for it really happens. I am obviously light years behind you on clicking likes on other posts and I promise you, I won't make effort to like every posts like some tend to do.

but as I mentioned about this when it came out, I did tell Dan that I don't think the numbers are true. But who cares.

Good luck. I competed last month but I almost never do, i tend to focus on what I enjoy (tournaments, my use of equipment, my play). I wanted to see whether your contributions were truly organic or whether you were trying to game the system to get a result. And I saw that you were gaming the system and left it at that as you ramped up your output in response to my output. I have always felt that liking posts and encouraging others to post is a valuable contribution to the community and do more of it than actual postion in many months. In fact, I find a lot of how you interact interesting and since you make money as an agent, it is awesome for you to share with us what you do and how you do it. But I don't compete seriously with professionals. Someone who makes his money doing something will always have more time to do stuff than you do. Anyone who pretends otherwise is not serious.

So please enjoy your posting and your value contributions. I am not a professional. But beware if there are WTT tournamenrs and I have time, my output goes up. But I am sure yours will as well. Because I saw that last month.
