#strength test

[collegetennisoriginstory]

hello! recently found this IF to read and I'm enjoying it a lot! on that note, is there any way to not almost pass out during the 5-mile run? I've tried every possible combination of choices while still remaining in band 2 and it always ends in the mc (alessandra martinelli) struggling 😭

(I have this thing about being on top of everything lmao)

once again, really interesting story!! I'm super excited to read the whole thing

Haha hi! Definitely endurance will help a lot, agility helps as well.

Besides that, also trying to not gas yourself out / conserving energy at the earlier strength test (to have as much condition as possible).

Not going too hard at the run also helps, though that probably won’t help too much in terms of doing well at the run.

Hello! I just wanted to drop a note to say I absolutely love CT:OS and have been obsessively playing it (desperately trying to branch out from All-Court player crushing on Rayyan but I can't quite make myself change my choices). It's been a blast and I wanted to thank you for writing!

I also have a question if you don't mind, do the ratings in the physical matter at all? And, not sure if it was a bug since I can no longer replicate it, but what circumstance would it be that allows you the surge of speed to bypass Tobin during the run (maybe I'm not just focussing enough on Agility/Endurance but I swear I've done it a couple of times)?

Again, thanks for writing and definitely looking forward to your next update!

Heya! Thank you so much for your kind message and for your support- it's so nice to know you enjoyed playing! 😍 💖

The ratings in the current physical tests (running, strength) currently bestow bragging rights/achievements, and affect the story you're creating for your MC.

From a gameplay perspective, not doing well in the tests currently don't lock you out of anything. In a more refined second draft of the WIP I'm hoping to tidy up my tracker for reputation/coach relationship, so it will affect that and possibly be used in later parts of the game (e.g. mentioned when assigning doubles partners etc.)

As for sprinting at the last leg of the run, you'll need to either have a high enough endurance stat or enough condition remaining (e.g. conserve some energy in the strength test etc.)

Thanks for the ask :)

Ever wonder how strong Polycarbonate really is? Find out how it compares in our 3D printer filament strength test?
