I really don't know who would win this. It all depends on the wonder castle. If Yanagi and Miyako are good enough and smart enough to break the wonder castle without having to lob it might be possible.

We have only see the wonder castle take on powerful attacks maybe skillfully placed shots over a long period of time can defeat the castle.

If they cannot and are forced to lob then the gyro laser combo will beat them. I thought Chitose could do it but I don't think Miyako or Yangi can. I think the match will go to Marui and Kaido.

 

[Ninomiya]

I just genuinely can't decide.
First time where I truly don't even know where to begin.
I'd say that Kaidoh isn't as good as Kite.
But at the same time Miyako/Yanagi pair aren't as good as Tohno/Kimijima. Nowhere near.

So Marui/Kaidoh could take this. WC is such a hack Doubles-move.

I'll have to go for Marui/Kaidoh here. I think WC+Laser are too much for Miyako and Yanagi to handle. If Yanagi have better parter, then maybe.

 

[Kaoz]

Question: Do you think Marui could do WC forever or would he run out of stamina eventually? If it's the latter, couldn't Yanagi and Miyako try to take out Marui first and once WC is sealed, deal with Kaidou in a 2v1 situation? I'd guess that Myougi wouldn't be very effective in this match due to Yanagi most likely having the relevant data.

 

[-Ken-]

I saw him used it for 1 set match, didn't we? If this is 3 set match, I might doubt it a little, but as is, I don't think it'll be a problem.

 

[Kaoz]

Wasn't it only 2 games? Also Tohno put a lot of force into his attacks, which might not be necessary.
