鳥星雨 is a rather poor net player. He plays much better using real tiles, and plays at his best in a jansou setting. This isn't because of any ability to read his opponents' actions when playing, but rather because he has a rather large mental block when grinding an online ladder point system. He has this mental block in other games as well, and has yet to break past it. That said, this problem is alleviated greatly when playing in unranked lobbies with his club. | 鳥星雨 is a rather poor net player.
