Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Progress on pitches the new teams so far, May edition: 1. Skullgirlz/Indivisible 2. Streets of Rage 3. Wonderful 101 With the official launch of Indivisible on the Switch today, a team comprised of it and Skullgirlz (made by the same studio) will replace the Astral Chain team pitch. Meanwhile, the Streets of Rage team will be definite. We have a River City team too, but they've moved into sports as well, sshhhh... Quote Link to comment

Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Standings before the last week, and analysis, Spring 2020: Sonic 52-23- Q Corneria 47-28 Twilight Realm 45-30 Koholint 45-30 West City 45-30 Popstar 44-31 Yoshi’s Island 43-32 Mushroom Kingdom 42-33 Hyrule 41-34 ------------------------------------- Tokyo 39-36 Celadon 39-36 Zebes 26-49 ------------------------------------ Hau’Oli City 25-50 Mekanos 20-55 Mimiga Town 19-56 Tallon 12-63- R Yeah, let’s get one thing straight: Tallon is no question relegated. Now it’s between Mekanos and Mimiga Town now. Man, it sucks to be the newcomers this time around. As for the top, even if Sonic were to lose six times, he’s already qualified for the playoffs. (Same with Smashville.) Now it’s a question of: who’s second to fourth? Corneria has somehow made things better for themselves, but that popularity could wane. West City, one of the finalists of last year, now contends with Twilight Realm and Koholint. The guys that won’t have to worry much are Tokyo, Celadon, and Zebes. Neutral territory for them. It is down right chaotic for Miyamoto to get the last three places. NO. BODY. IS. SAFE. Smashville 52-23- Q Sarasaland 50-25 New York City 50-25 Bionis 47-28 New Donk City 44-31 Los Angeles 44-31 ----------------------------------------- Great Plateau 42-33 Ylisse 41-34 Kongo Jungle 35-40 Mute City 34-41 Skyworld 34-41 Termina 33-42 Inkopolis 32-43 ----------------------------------------- Mayahem 31-44 Dracula’s Castle 26-49 Venom 20-55- R Except for New York City tying with Sarasaland, not much has changed for Yamauchi. At this rate, I don’t think NDC and LA have a chance. Venom’s relegated for sure. To be fair, they should’ve seen the sign seasons ago. They were underrated for a long time, while better teams have come. And, man, I wanted more from DC. Horrible circumstances. I don’t think Mayahem will be relegated, but 6 consecutive losses could happen. Got nothing for the midcard. They’ve been doing well this time around. All in all, it has been one of the most stressful seasons for the NBL ever. Quote Link to comment
Triforcemaster3 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 It’s actually quite unfortunate the struggles that 3 of the new teams have had this season. Mimiga might still be able to stay up because of Mekanos having an awful season. Castlevania is in a worse situation due to being in the tougher league of the two. It’s pretty telling that the 2 of the 3 teams next closest to relegation in the Yamauchi League are a pair of 2-time NBL champion clubs, Mayahem and Termina. The other club down there in Inkopolis, a team that is consistently in the playoffs. The Yamauchi League is so strong this year that 2-time defending champion Great Plateau won’t even be in the playoffs if they started today. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzer1 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Got the series win against Hyrule. Man, the possibility of having my oldmanagerial club in the playoffs this time sounds like fun. Quote Link to comment

It isn’t often that you have 4 teams with .667 win percentage or higher. In the early days of the NBL that was near record setting pace. Sonic, Smashville, Shield, and Sarasaland (look at that all 4 start with the letter S, mind blown) all have a great case to win the title this year. For Smashville this would be their first crown since 2017, the Heroes if they win would be top dog for the first time since 2007. Sarasaland has won most recently of course. Quote Link to comment

In those days, pretty much all of Rareware’s characters were within the Apes’ organization. It was during the NBL’s 2nd expansion (to 24 teams in 2013 or 2014) that Kongo Jungle was awarded an expansion franchise, and the Kongo Krystal Koconuts began play. The Kong family and the Kremlings went there while the remainder of Rareware’s talent stayed in Mayahem, where the team was renamed the Mayahem Jinjos. if I used the old name on accident, I guess I was just being a bit nostalgic, lol Edited May 28, 2020 by Triforcemaster3 Quote Link to comment
