Rounds after rounds of dodging ensued , SMG and his team won them all , sometimes it would be a breeze and sometimes it would be a pinch . However little by little the team's performance improved in the event , as strategies were starting to be made , and enemy's were sabotaged.
SMG himself started to do better , he was nimble on his feet and started to get into the rhythm of dodging , although the use of palms and feet to defend was allowed , SMG did not want to use the privilage.
Some games he would be eliminated because he did not dodge fast enough , while in some a ball would just barely nick a body part and he would be eliminated.
However game after game , the improvement was visible , after proper training and technique that made use of hands and feet , SMG would perform much better .
