SPRINT: Champions Meeting guide

Based on Japan, not on Global

Japan already ran this CM as SPRINT 2025 (Niigata 1200) (2025-10-23 → 2025-10-29), trained in Design Your Island. This guide summarizes what was used there and what published guides recommend.

Global can differ: cards, skills, scenarios and balance patches arrive in another order, and the meta moves with them. Check every pick against what Global has before you train for it.

Any win figure on this page, in the tables or in the notes, comes from room matches set up in Japan or from single accounts: small samples, not Global results and not a win rate in the real event.

About the CM in Japan

JP Champions Meeting of 2025-10-23 to 2025-10-29: Niigata turf 1200 m, left-handed inner, autumn, cloudy, Firm, day. First Niigata meeting. No hills. The small-track green does not fire. Late phase starts near 800 m, about 42 m before the straight. Straight about 358 m. The hot-spring scenario starts 2025-10-29, the last day, so it was not the training scenario. Trained in Design Your Island. Debuffs were legal.

Summary

Forecast, not a count. Course pages expected Late Surger and End Closer: Gran Alegria, Durandal, summer Bamboo Memory, a new K.S.Miracle outfit.
One final was back-heavy and summer Bamboo won. A pace target on one build page is 1850/700/1700/1400/1200. A lower line of 1800/400/1200/1200/1200 was challenged on the same page and is low confidence.
The final-corner gold is dead. Corner acceleration is secondary because the late phase begins about 42 m before the straight.

Guides: Two Late and support; new K.S. can buff as an ace.

Running styles

Styles the guides favor: Late SurgerEnd Closer

Use is the share of rival Umas that ran each style in Japan: how popular it was, not how often it won.

Style	Verdict	Use in Japan	Note
Front Runner	Weak	not counted	From guides Needs three Front Runners, or one Runaway plus two Front Runners. Two fronts get caught. Sample: no league-wide count
Runaway	Viable	not counted	From guides The tow that makes a two-front team legal. Not the ace. Sample: no league-wide count
Pace Chaser	Viable	not counted	From guides Expected by headcount on one note, and not the win style that note settled on. Sample: no league-wide count
Late Surger	Best	not counted	From guides The forecast center, with Gran Alegria and summer Bamboo. One final was won by summer Bamboo in a back-heavy room. Sample: no league-wide count
End Closer	Strong	not counted	From guides Durandal is the End Closer name on the same forecast. Sample: no league-wide count
