Chapter: Chapter 4 - Unfinished Business
Characters: Black Widow, Sabrina Mancini
Location: Tokyo Dome
The longer the match goes, the more Widow fades and Sabrina’s increases. Can Sabrina put enough offense together to put her down for the victory?
Voting Incentive!
The high flying offense is still in effect. Vote to see what’s coming up on Friday!
Wow! Quite the duel going on! Sabrina went after BW’s gut again. So, Brenda is her abs a weak point?
Looks great boss, though the hands in Panel 5 maybe a little too small.
Yeah, Mo. It is. She doesn’t have the abs to take much of that. Gut, yes. And strong too. But I don’t think she’s done the kind of conditioning as we have.
Hit it really hard enough times, and the midsection is everybody’s weakness. Granted, the right kind of conditioning means that you’d better have some penetrating power in your strikes, but that’s true of any target.
Sabrina knows how to exploit a weakness or play to a strength when she sees it.
Good back and forth. I’m sure we’ve got a lot to go before the end of the match.
We’re definitely going to close out August with this one. 😉
Holy Crapolas! It’s turning into a real slugfest here! Keep up the pressure, Brina!
She’s certainly going to try!
I still think BW’s got a lot more in the tank than folks realize. Sabby’s saving grace might end up being a double count out.
Oh! You nailed that one. I’ve beat BW into the ground and left her for the clean up crew. And she’s come back. Kind of like the old Undertaker, and it’s much the same feeling I’m sure to see them rise back up.
IMHO Sabrina’s best options are 1) going after Black Widow’s gut and 2) making Widow exhaust herself.
The two are one and the same, really. Attacking the midsection saps a person’s strength like you wouldn’t believe.
Yeah, Sabrina’s weathered a good amount and if Black Widow is starting to tire, this is her moment.
Boot kick to the mouth… Something tells me that will not end well for Black Widow. 🙁
It might for her dentist. XD
Kick To The Face!!
I heartily approve of this development!
*nod*
*confetti!*
ok sabrina is getting way too much offensive in
Yeah maybe. It’s kinda like they’re playing 4 no trump and BW has played her singleton ace.
But she might have another ace up her sleeve .
Wait til you see the next panel…!
Victory lap? Let’s hope Brina doesn’t need a pit stop. I assure you BW will run pretty far on empty. Can Brina?
Sabrina’s won an I Quit cage match before. Maybe she’s got the juice?
That’s a good point. She just might. But Chloe and BW are two different fights. It’ll be good to find out for sure!
Most definitely. Yikes…how about Chloe vs Black Widow. O_o
The real winner here is going to be Bitsy’s dentist.
Luckily, BRA has a very good dental program.
Sabrina endured Widow’s punch and responded with another solid shot to the midsection… <3 Yeah, definitely feeling like she's listening to me!
To some extent, anyway. That kick isn't the sort of offense I'd suggest. But at least she's on the offensive!
It’s probably fair to say that Sabrina has drifted from the gameplan, but what plan stays intact for long? She likes to high-fly when possible, but we’ve seen that Black Widow is hip to that, but not so much to the striking. Yay, Sabrina?
now Brina looks to be trying her “hit her from any angle possible” attack which should be effective since it’s unorthodox and i’m betting BW doesn;t have the greatest of reflexes to react in time to an unexpected attack direction. the longer things go the better it is for Brina since BW doesn;t have anything like Brina’s cardio working for her. just a matter of being able to stay moving on offense and avoiding the temptation to get into a slugfest. cause brina and in-ring temptations don;t go so well together. ;P
Normally, Sabrina would be tempted to do something flashy here, something risky with a high-payoff. Currently, she’s sticking to a pretty basic plan. Stubborn enough to weather Widow’s blows, which are probably starting to gas, but you’re right about the unorthodox attack. I mean, this IS Sabrina after all. XD
I’d say BW has gone about this match all wrong, but it’s not like she’s got a widely-varied set of strategies to choose from. She’s a tugboat. Power first, power second, and power last, and full-speed ahead when the way is clear.
I agree! Affectionately, I think of BW a lot like a rhinoceros. Get out of the way or get run over. And it’s served her well, being a main event draw. Sabrina weathered a few punches but she doesn’t want to get locked into a long, drawn out slugfest.
For myself, my strategy for wrestling Sabrina would be threefold.
First, ground her. If you can do it before her initial rush, all the better, but if not, eventually she’ll leave an opening for you. Take it, and put her on the mat.
Second, stay on her. Bitsy was managing this reasonably well, aside from the occasional argument with the ref, but climbing the ropes has obviously not paid off. Sabrina’s not helpless on the ground, but it’s clearly not an aspect of her game she’s used to relying on.
Third, attack the legs. The large majority of Sabrina’s offense, her speed, her aerialist efforts, and her kicks, all rely on having two good legs. Hurt her there, and I’m not sure she’ll have a fallback plan, even if she does have an intelligent English strategist helping her out.
English strategist? Like the charge of the light brigade?
You should talk. I asked you if you “fancied some Tennyson” and you said you’d left your racquet at home.
No, like Ian Fleming.
Very interesting…especially as Chapter 5 looms closer!
Yes, helpful timing, wasn’t it? 😀
BW is a good name for a fem tug captain. She can push you around all day long LoL
LOLZ
It almostlike she was a gymnist in a past life or smonthing
Well that’s not all that extreme. Now, if she starts hitting that kick while in a bear hug, then that’s impressive.
Some catty opponents have said that Sabrina is a better cheerleader than wrestler. !!!
Damn, Brina’s breaking out som Capoeira style offense now. And it’s to her advantage really. I mean, she starts hitting moves like that, and Widow’s going to have no idea where the next attack is going to come from. You keep a person guessing in that ring, and you pretty much have things well in hand
Thought Scorpion was kung fu.
It is, though they have a few moves that over-lap.
It’s a big reason why Sabrina is doing so well right now!
She kicks high.
Wait til she gets going!
The VI looks like a vicious dropkick coming… maybe a missile dropkick?
