"Huh?" asked Riku with a confused look. The employee, whom he now recognized as someone from his school named Naoki, had led them both to the sidelines. But it was the question he asked of Riku that was the confusing part, "What do I think of them?" his eyebrow had been raised, not really sure why Naoki was interested in his opinion. Even so, these were participants he knew next to nothing about. The only one he had had any meaningful interaction with was Blade, and that was only for a brief moment. But, he decided to oblige. That meant Riku needed to spend a moment watching the battle.
His eyes shifted between the Gunpla, and with each glance he made at them - each movement he watched them make - images began to appear in his mind about what their respective pilots were like. Some of them were a bit easier to figure than others, while one in particular was a strangely tough nut to crack. Still, he didn't stop observing their movements and tactics.
"The guy with the Crossbone, Shark right?" he asked, now ready to give his answer, "He seems pretty full of himself. Earlier I just took him for a small dog barking loudly to sound bigger than he actually is, but given how far he's made it maybe he actually can back up some of his boasting." but Riku's interest was more in the Gunpla itself, "His machine's had a lot of work put into it. You can practically see his ego oozing off of it with every part and color choice. But it's an impressive build, just the same."
Riku shifted his focus to Blade and the Wing Zero EW, "That guy with the Zero, I never caught his name, but from what I saw of him at Table B earlier he's clearly able to hold his own, but..." he almost hesitated, unsure of how to phrase the next part, "...his Gunpla's just a straight build by the look of it. Still solidly put together, but no customization or attempt to personalize it from what I can see. The colors and weapons all appear to be identical to what it had in the series. He must be a really big fan of Gundam Wing. Can't think of any other reason why he wouldn't customize it more."
His focus had moved to Kai and the Zaku kitbash he was currently piloting, "That one... well he's got some serious guts to take on a tournament like this in a demo model that he didn't even build himself. He's good at battling, but even the best battlers have trouble bringing out the potential in a Gunpla made by someone else. Maybe he's just not a great builder himself, difficult to say." a moment later, Kai had tossed his shield and fired a shot at it. This was a followed by a giant explosion, "Yep, he's a good fighter alright. But battling is only half of what this game is about."
After that he refocused his attention on Naoki, "But why ask me that? You're clearly interested in them but... why do you care what I think?"
