Week 3 - Monday - Mitsuru

[finalguard]

[ Boa's had his own Beyblade for a while and people have probably seen him around with it plenty in the last week, but today he's finally obtained what feels like the holy grail for this godforsaken summer camp - a second set of bey and launcher.

Boa had severely underestimated just how much it is worth to live in a world with other bladers.

But now! Now!

Now probably nothing much would change because nobody here could be such a prodigy at Beyblading... but if there's anyone....

Boa's been meaning to properly demonstrate what he means to Mitsuru anyway.

Let's see if he can find him in Cabin 2. ]

A variation of the other one. It works similarly, but it relies on the motion force created by the slope of the stadium so it's more offensive overall.

[ And he may or may not just have wanted to show them both off simply because he can... ]

But that's only 1 point, the match isn't decided yet.

[If he is getting the impression whatsoever that Boa's showing off, he gives no signs of it... probably because he's busy staring down the stadium, studying it.]

That would make sense. Momentum seems to be half the battle.

[Especially for stamina types like the one he has. Hmm...]

[finalguard]

That's why the launch is the most important part of the battle. You anticipate what your opponent is going to do as well as the type of their bey and you try to lay the foundation for a good counterstrategy.

Physical training is definitely a huge part of pulling off a strong launch, but you can't win by brawn alone at all.


[ Which is to say, Beyblading is more interesting and complicated than people in camp give it credit for and Boa loves it for many many reasons. ]

[killtheanimals]

That strength still needs to be tempered though, doesn't it?

[To keep it within the stadium, he'd assume.]

What do you do to control that?

[Not that it matters too much for him, he's definitely not physically powerful. Glass canon and all that.]
