Haryanto Arbi - the king of jumpsmash, has the power, variety in placement, the agility to smash from anywhere numerous times succesively
For me it's Tang Xianwu and Ng Boon Bee..should see how those guys play. Tang was solidly built..even Rudy Hartono acknowledged Tang as the greatest then. Tang was originally from Indonesia..so is Hou Chiang Chang and Fang kai Xiang. Ng Boon Bee was the exponent of the backcourt leaping smashes during his heyday. Anyway that's history.
In addition to JJS, I think I'm going to have to nominate Keita Masuda. He has excellent side-on technique, great jump height and good rotation (and a cracking shout). He's the most powerful Japanese smasher I've seen so far.
Same both smashes are very good. BCL's smash is amazing. I wish I could jump smash like him. It seriously does look as if they stop in the air. They go so high:O and have so much time to play there shots. AMAZING!
BCL does have a nice smash, the only thing bad is that he doesn't attack often enough. He focuses on being deceptive and rally to much.
Yes ! JJS has a awesome jump smash ! He's not consistently powerful, but when he does hammer it , it's amazing
I know he's just around 167Cm, a bit taller than Kido. I've heard him saying he hopes to be a little taller but everybody thinks the weakness made him a very good jumper.
haha i don't think a little taller will help him, i mean he is already a jump smashing tank haha. Markis Kido is a tanks too, unless stream of smashes haha ~
