Time for the old man to get his clear too. This character was probably one of the smoothest clears I had, and that's due to a combination of getting more and more experienced but also the character having some strong shots and a good list of matches.

The first fight is the salaryman so you can get him out of the way right from the get-go, plus it's not like the old man noticeably struggles against him like Erika or Itsumi did. It was fine for me at least. It's possible that his range is higher than Erika's for example, which would make some of the fast returns easier to handle. But perhaps it's just a matter of hitboxes being similar for everyone while the 3D models have different sizes?

Another good thing with the old man is that you don't fight yourself lol. Not that he's super hard for me or anything, but he's still a bit more tricky than most other non-salaryman characters. So that mostly leaves you with one medium difficulty fight early on and then everything else is victory lap-tier more or less.

The one thing that really surprised me with him is just how many times I got the super shot to trigger. I had more in here than in every single run up to now with the other characters combined, what the fuck lmao. It seems like having your opponent reflect the ball super high is necessary to activate it, and maybe there's something to this guy's shots that make the AIs bounce it back in the ideal way for a super shot whenever they dive to catch the ball.
