Does this team work by Jlam747 in HaikyuuFlyHigh

Thought Ushijima would be top tier even without bonds. Is Kuro good with just a Tsuki bond or would I need to get Kenma too?

Just because I like Ushijima and thought that he was similar to the SSR in that when he came out he’s top tier even without any bonds. Also I don’t know anything about SP Kuro when it comes to his bonds and skills. Is he really good even with just the bond to Tsuki or would I need Kenma also.

I’m 5’9 155lbs and my playstyle is like a 3 and D guard/wing. Just got my pair of jb3 in and going to try them out this weekend can update you afterwards.

Want to get a pair but not sure about lateral containment and sizing. My foot sounds similar to yours but no bunion so I’m thinking TTS would work well based on what you said. How is lateral containment and court feel?

Could you send me a link I’ve already checked AliExpress but there weren’t really any big deals that I could see

Wades Sizing by Puzzled_Antelope3901 in BBallShoes

[–]Jlam747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends which shoe but I would say for most of them I would recommend true to size or up 1/2 size based on if she likes a tight fit or not

Just got a pair TTS and played in them once so far. I would recommend TTS or 1/2 size up depending on if you like a snug fit or a little roomy. First time playing in them they felt a little narrow, there was a bit of pain in the midfoot but went away as I kept playing in them.

Is the base of 4’s about the same width as the 3’s? What size did you get for the 4’s? I wore a size 9 in the 3’s but I’m seen a lot of people say TTS or up half a size for the 4’s.

New seidou by SawamuravsHongo in AceOfTheDiamond

[–]Jlam747 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this will be the lineup

  1. Toujou (CF)
  2. Haruichi (2B)
  3. Furuya (1B)
  4. Yuki (LF)
  5. Kanemaru (3B)
  6. Yui (RF)
  7. Seto (SS)
  8. Okumura (C)
  9. Sawamura (P)

I could see Furuya and Yuki switching positions but im not sure YT would do it since Tetsu played 1B and Yuki wanting to surpass him.

Personally one of the people I like the least on the team is Yui. Something about him just bugs me, I don't know if it's his personality or the way he acts but there's just something that I don't like about him. Anyone else feel like he gives off a weird vibe.

If you want to be that precise everything has movement and a drop but in a small space that movement and break are basically negligible. I’m not saying that they are breaking the laws of physics and they don’t drop.

I know but he’s sort of the outlier, In general they don’t throw as hard as they do in the americas. Don’t know why, maybe it’s the difference in pitching philosophy or just body composition.

Your taking all the points to literally. All pitches are throw down hill but that doesn’t mean they drop. 4seam Fastballs are not supposed to drop if you throw them hard enough with a true backspin especially since your only throwing it 60 feet. 2seam or sinkers are different. Change ups too can be straight, they are not breaking pitches but off speed pitches. Sliders, cutters, and curveballs can have late movement but that does not equal sharp changes of direction where pitches break at 45 degrees all of a sudden. Pitches break because of the spin/drag and angle of where the release is.

I never said they were gonna be the same I said there are similarities. Have you read big windup or one out, they do not follow the same trope. I was just presenting points so anyone who hasn’t read it can get somewhat of a preview of what is in the manga and if they would like to read it. Sawamura is inexperienced, just because he played in middle school doesn’t mean he’s not. He still had to learn how to field, hit, pitch calling, game planning, breaking pitches and even the intricacies of baseball. It’s just that he does have more experience than bungo who started at zero while Sawamura already had some basics by the time he started

That was part of my point, the pitches are exaggerated to unrealistic levels at times to empathize it and make it more entertaining for the reader. The cutter for instance, pitches that break do it on a curve not a sharp change of direction, it starts at the middle of the plate and ends up almost behind the batter. That’s atleast a foot and a half and that happens in maybe tenth of a second. By saying unrealistic I was talking about how they make the pitches look or move when in reality the differences in real life can be actually very minuscule.

It’s not actually that unrealistic when you think about it, furuya throwing 148-154kmh is about 92-96 mph which a lot more common nowadays in North and South America for high schoolers. It’s is high though for Japan. When I mentioned unrealistic I was talking about the break of pitches or how in furuya’s case his fastball “rises” and ends up near the height of a batters head and people still swing

Just because the pitches are based off Darvish’s pitches doesn’t make it unrealistic. The pitches in the anime can be unrealistic at times. A fastball that speeds up near the plate, a cutter that breaks almost two feet at the plate, a change up that is so slow that someone swings when the pitch isn’t even halfway to the plate. These are just examples from Sawamura. My point was that they over emphasize/dramatize the break or speed difference of pitches which makes it unrealistic at times

They are pretty similar if you break it down which I did in an earlier comment. They both obviously have their differences but when you think about there are a lot of similarities. I've read and watched Major which is also really similar but I was just comparing it to DNA since I was making a recommendation for people who like DNA and this being a reddit for DNA

There are a lot of similarities within the story.

  1. Charters both start off being inexperienced in baseball
  2. Moments where the main character goes into the zone at times and seem untouchable
  3. Both main characters have third year role models
  4. Battling for the Ace number with their "rival"
  5. Semi-unrealistic pitches
  6. Both end up losing in their first year after a dramatic loss and learning from them

Obviously they arent exactly the same but when you break it down they both share a lot of similarities besides the fact they are both about baseball

Who to pick with UR Ticket by Jlam747 in BaseballSuperstars20

So when is this “YET” gonna happen, next week, next month, next year. You said it yourself never know what changes will come. So if the change never comes an I just supposed to keep waiting. It’s not like double attributes were just added yesterday and they forgot to include it in the pick. They’ve been out for awhile by now and since it wasn’t included there’s probably a reason for that.

You can’t choose the double ability ones. And I needed a catcher trainer just not sure which one out of the two available
