So Agari is a Driver.
Hanabi a Speed Driver.
Hokuto a Chopper?
Mune a Driver?
Koyori a ???
Ushirode a Chopper.
Any actual Ping Pong players here? I trying to figure this out. Also Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume thread.

They kind of grow up from being one trick pony after the first chapter. Agari specialty is her loop drive, but also her high power forehand smash (including 100% Agari) and high accuracy backhand smash, and usually ends up winning matches by switching between both arbitrarily (really arbitrarily, as in only use one of them in the very match point).
Koyori is an all rounder since the start, and just adapts to the opponent (for example when she started to use the sweet spot of the paddle to counter the Kururi spin drive).
Hokuto is well rounded, specialized in reading the opponent and using every kind of movement to reduce the opponent options and to control the flow. Her trump cards are high toss serves.
Munemune specialty is high power smash, and captain is a chopper. Captain focus on being an impenetrable defense and Munemune is a finisher.
Hanabi specialty is speed and stamina, focusing on high counters. She never had the chance of developing or winning against anyone.
The ranking by the end was: ACE > Koyori > Captain = Hokuto > Munemune > Hanabi

why is ACE so cool?
I can't believe we're going to nationals again.

Nationals?
Thomas Scott
But 黒ロリ and ゴスロリ are not the same thing.
Mason Wood
ok, but what's the difference between black loli and gothic lolita fashion?
Grayson Morris
>Manga ended vs Bear
What the fuck where is the Zen Coke arc?
Cameron Brown
This though it's hard to judge Captain and Munemune in relation to the others since they're doubles specialists and all that. In individual matches I'd think Hanabi is stronger than Munemune and Captain than Hokuto.
Joseph King
Obviously there aren't any precise definitions and the line blurs a bit but loosely speaking black loli does not have the gothic elements that goth loli has; black loli originated from sweet loli (甘ロリ) but with different colors. The important point here of course is that Zakuro and Kururi have similar but contrasting fashion styles. For reference here is what wikipedia has to say:
>甘ロリの中でもベースになっている色によって「白ロリ」「ピンクロリ」「黒ロリ」などに分けられる[81]。つまり、ゴシックの要素のない白ロリ・黒ロリは、広義では甘ロリに含まれることになる[51]。

Words cannot express my love for Hanabi but I will try my best.
This anime was part of the reason I started playing ping pong in the first place and Hanabi was probably the driving force behind how I improved. Her archtype goes beyond just plain genki girl for me. I love how Hanabi's playstyle of Japanese penhold that focuses on speed can easily be called weak but this doesn't get to her. I love how she can still be genki even though she loses. I love how friendly she seems. I wish I was outgoing and energetic like Hanabi is. Lot's of weeks I decide not to head to my table tennis club out of anxiety and I always get really sad when I lose but I have Hanabi to thank for my love of ping pong and introducing me to something I can be passionate about. I love Hanabi for being Hanabi.
end of my blog thanks for reading

This is my favorite post of the year.

Blessed post

I hope you grow up to be a jobber ping pong player just like her.
Jk I love all Takkyuus and T/a/kkyuu Posters
Hunter Cooper
Will Hanabi ever win an official match? I can't help but to feel that she's a liability to the team
Isaiah Adams
Based and genkipilled.
Cringe and acepilled.
Luis Davis
They actually skipped multiple matches in the prefectural until Tsubame, and on all of them they won 3 to 0, meaning Hokuto, Hanabi won all of those.
Jace Fisher
So Hanabi can only win against those weaker than her and falters whenever she face someone equal or greater than her
Grayson Scott
There is no guarantee that either of them played in any of those matches. The team order can be changed around from game to game.
Connor Scott
Will Kumami still be a bully when part 2 comes out and she spends 20 chapters playing dog?
Joseph Butler
Hopefully when Asano starts it back up with another publisher he'll go back to after the Kuma fight.
Dominic Miller
Where else would he start back?

I wanna see the former champion school and how they cope after being embarrassed by a 'no name' school who killed their 'dynasty'
Cameron Peterson
But they're going to lose nationals.
Liam Scott
Who will end team MC? Ex-Champs wanting revenge and regain their lost glory or the team that rekt'd the ex-champs
Adrian Mitchell
Evil wanko team fights them after timeskip so I don't think they'll end them just yet. Either ex champs or Tsubame, most likely the latter.
Angel Lee
I hope she bullies dog to make up for the NTR. Suffering dog when?
Easton Stewart
Inb4 dog joins the evil wanko team because of the suffering

What a subversion

I'll probably lose in my upcoming (and first) tournament but I will stay genki.
Easton Brown
Accepting death is the first step towards living after all.

Good luck in losing and your team mates will blame you for getting eliminated
