For a full explanation of the table below you should read the handbook however if this is your first look, or if you are just short of time there are some notes under the table.

note 1: Emotionality is not necessarily better when higher - but its affect greater.
​
note 2: the above table only presents a partial analysis into the qualities of the virtual rikishi. Remember that in a bout a significant number of comparisions are made between the competing, for example reach and weight are compared to each other giving a "bonus" to the rikishi with the greater. Therefore it does not follow that the "best" looking rikishi on this table will beat those with lesser rankings.
