Hirakoba again.
Good match this one though.
Gosh I miss Ibu Shinji. He was cool.

Not his fault Konomi put Fudomine up against Rikkai. But Hirakoba's got this.
It should take Ibu a good amount of games to apply the spin he wants to on constant Habu's at him.
Hirakoba just needs a 1 or two game lead. He won't lose his serve.

In equal tier matches I think the Okinawan's innate attribute of teleport like speed in one plane alone guaranteeds victory.

Shukuchihou alone seals the game. Sorry Ibu... has he seriously not gotten any new techniques since he played Ryoma?

All he gets is mountain training upgrade. It's really depends on how much credit you'll give to that training.

They aren't equal. Habu is just a crazy shot. He's levels above.
He forced a new counter from Fuji.

By equal here I mean more like 'guys with minimal screentime/relevance'. That is, anybody besides Kite can be considered this tier from the Okinawa team, and all the guys from Fudomine besides Tachibana can be considered this tier too. Obviously there can be a rather big difference between them, but just because all the Okinawans have one plane teleportation power, that's pretty darn hard to overcome even if they have absolutely no other special technique.

 

[Fayte]

Rin has shukuchi, habu, and giant habu. Ibu has nothing. Spot? really?....win for Hirakoba 6-0.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Easy bagel for Hirakoba.

 

[LetalHawk]

Hirakoba 6-0. Habu is too much for Ibu and Giant Habu completely owns him. Kick serve is too easy for return and spot won't work on Hirakoba as Ibu won't score points.

Habu is top technique.
Hirakoba is above Tanishi, Chinen and Kai.
