About Sumo Shove

Wrestlers walk into the ring and your job is to shove them out of it before there are more of them than you can handle. A drag sets both the direction and the strength of the push, so a light nudge and a full weight charge come from the same gesture.

It is a crowd control problem more than a fighting one. One opponent is never difficult. Four at once, with your own footing to think about, is a different game, and the ring does not get any bigger. Rounds are short and it plays in either orientation.

How to play

  1. Move into an opponent to shove them.
  2. Push them over the edge of the ring to remove them.
  3. Stay inside the ring yourself.

Tips

  • Meet each opponent as it comes in. A crowd already in the middle is far harder to break up than one wrestler on the rim.
  • The drag sets strength as well as direction, so a short drag is a nudge. Full power is not always what the situation wants.
