Written Option 1: This was actually a common trick that James had to learn from Ogun before he joined the SHL, since they played in Japan so much. Though he eventually learned the language, Howlett's first way to subtly aggravate people was to not shower for a few days before the game. Then, just before the game, douse himself with an awful cologne. He's wearing nose plugs the whole game so he doesn't incapacitate himself, but it's all worth it. His naturally close and physical play style, combined with the biohazard smell he can throw anyone off their game. As for the fight itself, James isn't a pushover either. He's smaller than most opponents but that works to his advantage. Plus when every punch has a second slug of stink afterwards it's an exponential growth of pain. This technique is volatile though, liable to affect your team as much as your enemies and can only be attempted under great duress
