"I think I remember some of Chaser's M.O.'s," offered Sousuke in a hushed tone. After his little conversation with Keiichiro and failed attempt to flirt with Tsukasa, he kept quiet while everyone entered the gymnasium. But now he was talkative again. He decided to explain as much as he could remember about Team Chaser's tactics, "If I know Asaka, he'll focus fire on me so you two should be able to ignore him and target his partners. Sakuya likes to fancy himself a pacifist, he'll spend most of the battle defending and only attacks if he's forced to. That also means he usually burns through his energy the slowest, so he'll almost certainly outlast us in a drawn out fight. You may want to do what you can to get him to attack and use up his energy faster. As for Tsukasa, I have to admit it's pretty much impossible to nail her style down. She's perfectly willing to change and alter her style to suit whatever opponent she's trying to take down. She's also [i]very[/i] observant. The more time you give her to assess your skills, the harder it will be on you in the long run. But you can't just go rushing at her either, she pretty much always has some kind trap or plan in place for that sort of attack. And like I said, you can just leave Asaka to me." that was about all Sousuke could offer on them. But he did add one more thing, "I don't know if any of the information I just gave you still applies. Something may have changed with the team that I don't know about, so keep that in the back in your mind while you fight them."

Meanwhile, Team Chaser was waiting in their designated area, "So? What do you make of them?" Keiichiro asked Tsukasa. He knew she would have been making silent observations of everyone before they entered the building, and whatever she learned would likely be of use to them. Tsukasa closed her eyes in thoughtfulness, "Difficult to say. The boys from Karasato seem a bit mismatched, but nowhere near as much as Sousuke's new team. The home team from Nobuya are reserve battlers, not the regular team. So I'm afraid I can't offer much about them. But if they aren't the regular team, then that probably means that Karasato and Ichikawa are our biggest threats here."

"If Sousuke-san's new team is the most mismatched, doesn't that make them the most unpredictable?" asked Sakuya with a thoughtful nod.

"Tch, figures. Kikkawa always was a wild card, so I guess an eclectic wild card team is perfect for him, isn't it?" Keiichiro quipped. He gave a quick sidelong glance in Sousuke's direction.

"We may also want to assume he's told his team about our usual tactics." Tuskasa added with a blunt, matter-of-factly tone, "Which means we'll have to be doubly cautious. I won't be able to tell us much more until I've actually seen some of these people battle, though."
