[suddenly, a voice!]

Hello! I hope everyone's doing all right now that we're back here on the island.

Um. Sorry if this is a weird question, but ... if you're an experienced fighter, what sort of training do you do that helps you out the most? The sort of thing that maybe a beginner could pick up on easily?

[beginner isn't really the right word for Madoka. but with her usual abilities out of reach, floating along with wherever the high frequency is, and with only a bow that's older than she is to use as a weapon, she's not that many steps ahead of one. does that make her a novice? first class? junior hero?]

It couldn't hurt to have that information out there, anyway. For the people who didn't do any fighting back home.

— Oh! If we haven't met before, I'm Madoka Kaname. If you ever need healing or first aid, please come see me, okay? I'm usually at the beach or the base camp.

[WHOA she can't help but instinctively flail a little bit — she is going to need to work on keeping her cool when it comes to martial arts.]

[but once she's settled, she nods. okay. you can do this, Madoka.]

I'll try — what should you do if you opponent is much, must faster than you, though?

[deem]

That's where observation is key, in my opinion. If you see the direction they begin to shift their weight, then you can anticipate where they're going to veer and start moving.

[And actually, he's got some experience with this, because—]

Like Jude's got this ability to just. Pop up behind you, you know? It caught me off guard at first, but details can make a huge difference.

[Scanner logic, right here]

I can practice that with you too. If their eyes aren't covered, sometimes they'll also look where they're intending to go, reflexively.
