Good point.
How were we to know the extent of 10ball? We just knew it was a big deal to the coaches.
Oni said: "I didn't expect him to improve this much in such a short amount of time. [...] I've been too careless!!"
It was more like a week and a half.
No, but surely Oni didn't completely ignore Kintarou the entire time since the losers returned from the mountain.
Don't think so.
Day 1 - Middle Schoolers arrive at the camp and beat the lower courts
As far as I remember, some people are mentioning it as truly a tier difference. Others just say how many ball a player can hit doesn't matter. And we're know because Konomi feed us that information. Some doesn't take it because they don't want to believe Konomi, but the information is there.
I didn't know Kyouzou reserse fatigue. No where was it mention. It reverse special tech. Since Mouri was beating Fuwa with his base stats, there's no need for special tech, meaning there's nothing to reflect to his enemy. And many people believe that Fuji beat Mouri in the 1st tournament, where Mouri was stronger than Fuwa who was even with Yukimura. You can take of that tournament result what you want.
That belief seem to still be largely true, with only very few exceptions. Kintarou have page that support he's not pulling his full strength out, as shown already. You can ignore the evidence in the manga, or not.
This is just chronologically out of place.
Props on believing Fuwa actually had Kyouzou btw.
You put emphasis on "very", so you need me to break it down for you.
Or I should say cutting out exception that was given in the manga. I already include it in my post in the past that I assume you read. That cutsThis is just chronologically out of place.
Actually, I wasn't even on this forum when that chapter dropped.
In case you've forgotten, the tier list got updated with us going into detail regarding the 1st String all the way back in 2011.
The Revolution began in 2011 Ken.
The chapter that mentions the 1st String's existence had already been released before Myself, LetalHawk, Hardy, Phantron & BrandnewKid had even joined MH.
So when we arrived, the level of discussion on the topic of 10ball was in a completely different place.
It had apparently made no difference since Oni and Tokugawa were apparently being benched by like... 20 guys.
I believe this was done on purpose by Konomi as to keep us surprised at the gap between Oni, Tokugawa and the rest of the Camp.
Since it would have made a really boring story had he just had it confirmed from the start Oni and Tokugawa are absolute beasts and will crush at least 90% of the camp.
Him hinting towards it and making it look like 10ball isn't all too crucial for a while was a good move.
Props on believing Fuwa actually had Kyouzou btw.
Yips causes numbness.
Its possible for numbness to be caused by fatigue.
Back to my point, if Fuwa can apparently reflect freaking Blindness, Numbness, Deafness, I mean it was "fed to us" as you like to say
Note the way Fuwa says "Everything will be reflected back onto you". The word everything really implies that we're talking all kinds of effects in a match.
Otherwise you're assuming that Konomi has given Fuwa a retarded power that only works when facing Yukimura and nobody else.
Since nobody else can steal sense in PoT.
You put emphasis on "very", so you need me to break it down for you.
Oni is the No.5 yet Duke is No.3.
Ryoga is No.4 yet Duke is No.3
Kimijima, Tohno and Ochi all have equal stats.
So its not as simple as the No.s being in order of strength there, its clearly complicated on intentionally and based around how the three of them work with one another.
Date's stats are equal to Fuwa's.
Clearly down to who is better at a Doubles combination here.
Hakamada > Ban.
Yuuma, Yuuho & Mitsuya have equal stats. Yet it seems the Mutsu bros are above in rank due to their Doubles ability.
Although the series suggests DT would give the advantage in this situation.
The Mutsu bros show nothing that suggests they could beat a man with DT superior to Yanagi's.
Yet of course, you will tell me that what I have mentioned is "very few".
The whole point of Konomi distributing various abilities and then releasing a fanbook with stats is clearly to show that the 1st String isn't entirely in order, and that Doubles combinations play a massive role.
PoT tennis has different rule than our. Look at Samurai Drive, as Kaoz point out to me before, that move also doesn't work as shown in the manga. And 4th counter wouldn't work if the ball leave the racquet for even 1 second.
The 1st String is the Overseas Group.
And this is called generating hype for the character that's currently playing. Once Byoudouin is up, it'll probably be that Tanegashima actually can't return the Glowing Shot, or that he beat Oni when he returned to the camp or something. The key here is that he's not telling us everything at all times, just the stuff that makes the current character look impressive.
Its strongly implied that Fuji carefully waves his racket like retard in a way that the ball never leaves the racket even once.
That means stats should play no part then.
No. You've clearly missed the storyline Ken.
This was never doubted.
Actually Ken you were extremely against any kind of notion that the list was wrong in terms of Power.
Still not quite.
If Ochi can beat Fuwa without Mental Pressure, why should he be using it? Just play normal and he'll win already.
Doesn't change the fact that they actually dislike each other.
Yes, I was against it. And that theory was proven wrong. But that doesn't change my other points that was proven correct by evidence from Konomi. And I don't see the other argument have example that is support by Konomi yet. Sorry that I "miss the point of a forum". But when the forum is missing "the point of argument" by lacking evidence, it's just something that's going to happen. If I find some page by Konomi that support my point and the other side is just stating their point without a single evidence, then it doesn't matter at all.
There wasn't a solid confirmation that Fuwa move can reflect special move, but there is a solid confirmation that Fuwa DOES HAVE mirror eyes, which is what I been saying the whole time. Don't add more argument that I didn't say before to make my point weaker, really, that's just low.
Fuwa loses in Power & Speed to Ochi but he has more Technique than Ochi.
?
This is the concept of manga theories Ken. You literally just described manga theories. Sometimes really strong theories aren't always supported 100% in the manga.
Do you even know when to use the expression "that's just low"?
Again. Stop making things personal when you're on here.
