they can't anticipate the change of the arc until at least a few lasers are fired, in which case it's not anticipating but reacting.

someone had to distract the betas to give the other people a chance to run away, running along the girls was nto an option as all of them would have gotten killed instead of just one person.

Instead they decide to basically stand there and let them crush them, for some odd reason.
they can't fly because lasers.

I used to frequen gantz forums, where a lot fo people would critique the combatants tactics, that was fun and this brings bakc memories.
