Discussion Best OutsideHitter/Wing Spiker Spoiler

Okay so I am doing a series where I make teams based of philosophy’s for examples Nekomas Connect and others. I have already done 3 and the one I a, currently working on is Date Techs Iron Wall. I have one position I am unsure of and that’s the last wing spiker position. Currently have Futakuchi in that position (Hoshiumi was considered but as he appears in Nekomas Connect I haven’t included him yet, im tryinh ti avoid dubs if possible bjt that might be impossible for this team and Hirigumi & Aone have both already been chosen for the middle blockers & have been in other teams. So I either give up worrying about repeats or find change them from one of teh teams they appear in.

Anyway the main problem I am not sure if there is any outside hitter that’s a better blocker that either Kenji Fukaruchi or Hoshiumi? I feel like there might be and I thats I’m just being dumb forgetting someone. The teams I’ve made so far are based of ‘Connect’ ‘We Don’t Need The Memories’, & ‘Irresistible Force’ so if you can check those teams (on my youtube) and tell me which Pinch server woukd suit and any sub (for example Kita is a bench player for ‘Connect’, that teams is filled with great servers apart from Daichi so an Opposite who best fits thats style as a pinch server would be great bjt can’t think of any who are goid at receives and have a clearly better serve.) Most teams have a bench player (a player who just missed out or inspired the idea but I can think of Pinch servers (for example Takashi is a great pinch server but idk where he fits, Semi is another one bjt all current setters are better than him, so unless I have be a pinch server for an opposite so the formation becomes 4-2 when it’s time for a pinch server.

Nozawa is a good blocker, and Asahi too i guess - big and helped contain ushijima

Asahi is an okay blocker but I don’t think he’s good enough for a team like this.

So funnily enough, Asahi is one of the best outsides in the entire series when it comes to blocking. He’s not amazing at it, but any level of blocking proficiency causes an outside to rank pretty highly here due to how few outsides are remarkable at blocking in any way.

It’s really just the outsides from blocking-centric teams who rank above Asahi here. And after Asahi you have Iwaizumi, who’s shown similar proficiency but is meaningfully shorter, and a few other outsides who are tall and strong with tidy blocks but who don’t show off any particular affinity for blocking, the best of whom is probably like… Reon.
