Ryu stepped forward, his expression quite indifferent, though hidden beneath a mask. Something like polearm control was too easy for him. In fact, he was far better at it than a normal person would be since he had spent so long training for the purpose of dual wielding polearm weapons. 

Not only did such a goal require ridiculous amounts of flexibility and dexterity, but it also necessitated supreme control. Ryu had long since gained the ability to fine tune the power output of each of his individual muscle fibers for the purpose of battle. 

However, what was fascinating about the staff was that it was a weapon only ever used with two hands, making it somewhat different from even the polearms that Ryu was used to.
