I was sure that at Riku would manage to come up with a way to win and continue his undefeated streak, so I was pleasantly surprised by what happened.

Given the writing of the show, that might as well happen later.

At this point only other top10 characters would be able get Tiger reveal his tricks. And it could be months when that happened last time.
As for point 3. Even if cooperation is (arguably) most important part there is no point of it if you neglect other aspects. Especially as some team tactics and formations can be centered around single person special skill(s). If anything Riku whole involvement in that conversation was unspoken assumption that he is strong enough for Tiger having no choice but reveal his cards in duel, which would be directly opposite how you interpreted that conversation.

Nah, Riku is still closely below Tiger during the conversation and both Tiger & Shah knew it, but Tiger simply craved the fight where he can go all out. And of course, Riku conveniently made his special move at the end of the duel (and yet, Tiger was still left standing and even able to move around and threw Sky after receiving the brunt of the hisatsu).

Oh yeah, forgot to reply this:
I think this is also one of the problems in GBD: lack of peers for Riku to compete against. Ogre is okay, but he has such a lack of screentime that he feels like an afterthought at this point. Also, I feel the second battle between Ogre & Riku is pointless when it comes to the bigger picture (so far).

Again whether Riku is below or not was not object of converstation. He was aknowledged as worthy enemy and that's all to it. Neither Syahriar nor Tiger implied anything else.

Well it felt as though Tiger chose Riku to fight him is to make him improve before the raid battle. During the start of the match he tried to point out Riku's supposed weakness. Then he reveals to Riku who isn't aware that finishers have variation allowing Riku to unlock his.

Yes I to question the need for special moves to be hidden in a professional sports environment that doesn't seem to be a real need. Anyone you fight as a Pro should know your special movie unless you just created a new one. Really at the Pro level it seems like it be more important to pull of combos to make your special move(s) as likely as possible to hit or bait reactions to your special movie to weaken and mindgame your foes before using it.
Basically I look at it like a Fighting Game you know the moves and your opponent knows the moves. Last edited by Skaddix; 2018-08-09 at 03:44. |

To be fair that ultimate move variation Tiger used on Rikku seemed to be completely new

So again why would you think Syahriar stating soon after proven truth was actually secret code for something else and if there was something like that how do you know that " don't show your hands before raid (To eager Weasel with camera)" means "Riku is weak" and not for example "I like pancakes"?

EDIT: Btw, can't you just let go? You already said your disagreement with me, and I already said to "agree to disagree" but you came back at me when I only talked to Kanon in the previous page and started the whole thing all over again.
