        are the plans to create him? if so:

        I'd go with a stance that kinda has him standing straight up - his knees a bit bent.

        The bat kinda rest in front of him, sorta like Sosa has it but closer to the body. (Keep in mind a Sosa stance wouldn't fit b/c Sosa bends down way too much and the bat is too far away from his body - but then again, that's on you).

        I believe, from my memory, that Matsui has a high leg kick. Kinda like Mondesi when he bats up. Mondesi's bat placement and high leg kick is similar to Matsui's with the exception of the stance. Mondesi bends down too low - even though I don't think MVP has Mondesi's stance dead on.

        All these comparisons are from watchin the players on tv...not their stances in MVP.

        Maybe someone has a better idea, but those are the basics.

                    sorry if i wasn't clear.

                    yes, if you're going to create matsui which would be the most accurate stance to assign to him? like right now i have 'closed' chosen for him, is there a better stance to use?

                        His Stance reminds me of Caminiti, so i would go with Alou's stance to best represent Godzilla.
