The game features 15 of the rikishi (sumo wrestlers), able to hit with burning hands, the guy bench pressing 400 pounds. plus opponents, and jumping two or three stories in the air. For what remains a deeply ritual of sport based on hundreds of years of tradition, the sumo wrestling, pictured here, seems almost blasphemous. While this is hardly a concern in the video game player, these liberties will not prevent the game to be either pure sumo-alone simulation or a fighting game.
