Doubles Round 1 Block B - Chitose/Inui vs Marui/Kaidou

[Kaoz]

Couldn't Chitose hit Kamikakushi as a lob in order to take care of both Marui's and Kaidou's techniques at the same time?

How is it that we know that's the only weakness to wonder castle? All Tohno could do was hit powerful destructive shots which were returned.

How do we know there isn't a tactical way to defeat it like by trying to make Marui have to run to cover the entire front and drain his stamina?

Tohno was so bent on aiming at Marui's body that he allowed Marui to show off his reflexes. Couldn't Inui and Chitose being as tactful as they are figure out a way around it?

Sanada is getting toyed with by Shuuji and Ohmagari right now, although their stats seem to far outclass his.

Sorry on an unrelated note, where have you been reading the newer manga about Sanada's match? Everything I have been able to find only goes up to Akutsu meeting Ryoga.

You have them in tieba as RAWS. You can look in the U-17 courts section to find both the translation and raws.

In submanga you can also find them but are translated into spanish.

Look in the U-17 courts section and you'll find them all (raws + translation).

There ^^

We're not talking about singles, however. This is SPARTA (doubles)!

Tohno didn't break WC. Kimijima exploited the one obvious weakness in WC, but that set Kite up to smash the ball into his head with Ohabu.

You mean Kaidoh might used dunk smash? A move that is counter by other mid tier a long time ago in PoT? I say Inui and Chitose can handle it.

Marui isn't Ryoma and that was only against Ibu at the start of PoT, not against a top player.. Sanada is getting toyed with by Shuuji and Ohmagari right now, although their stats seem to far outclass his.

Will see if Sanada will lose until the end of the match or not, then, shall we?

Is Marui as good of a player as Kimijima or Tohno? No, but he found a way to counter them in doubles. Just because someone isn't a super awesome player doesn't mean that they're bad. By your own admission, Marui won a first string match, so he must be better than Chitose/Inui. We're not comparing Mouri to Duke or anything.

Marui did not win any 1st stringer match. Which manga are you reading? He won some 1st stringer game. That's it. The winner of the match is call Kimijima and Tohno. Marui lost. Get your fact right. There's nothing to be debate here.

In fact, once Kimijima remove his limiter as well and Tohno got serious and finally start using his continuous execution, Marui/Kite did not manage to win a single game. A single game. Not even one. That's just pathetic for someone on "1st stringer doubles tier", isn't it. Well, i should say, "Supposedly" in front of it. It's dang clear he's not.

To add to it, you don't have to be a genius to see that Kimijima is not getting along with Tohno very well. You even saw Kimijima hitting some ball that Tohno want to hit in the match. Take that partnership in negative zone into account, and then it's really pathetic that Marui and Kite fails to win even taking into consideration that they are supposed to be, as quote from the manga, an "Ideal Team". See PoT on the important of partnership. It's actually kinda mention in SPoT on mountain camp training and even the latest U-17 match+double specialist too. I fail to see how impressive Marui is here.

I still think Kaido would be able to get used to it after a while. He would be able to return it, but probably not with the tornado or the laser.

The only two moves in the series where points were won on lobs were the moon volley (only because either two people were at the net or the back guard pushed up), and the sixth counter. I really doubt the kamikakushi lob would compare to them (and Inui wouldn't be able to hit any good lob).

In this match Kaido wouldn't have any reason to go up so he could stay in the back and just wait for lobs.

I doubt it would decide any points because kaido will have so much time to set up to take it on the rise because in the end it's a lob.

I never claimed anything about Kamikakushi deciding the point, all I said was that it would stop both Wonder Castle and GL/TS at the same time. That said, Kaidou doesn't hit rising shots, so I think there's the possibility that he won't be able to hit it straight away.
