Aizawa moved up a bit, turning over to pat the rungs of the ladder. He placed one foot up them and leaned forward, pulling himself up it with a few measured gestures. It was narrow, but he made it up. He looked down to Jason once he was at a few rungs.
"The difference between a strong foothold and a weak foothold can damn you," He explained, leaning back. Only a fraction of his foot was on a solid surface--the rung. "You lack leverage in tight spaces like this, so quick movement is going to easily escape you. If you need to get away from an opponent, barring a flight ability, running on foot between corners is your best bet. Don't aim for higher ground unless you have the right tools or the right footing."
"Just the same--I'm sure you've noticed the wiring lifting the elevators is greased, so you won't be able to hoist yourself up that way. On top of all of that--if I had ranged abilities or weaponry, you'd be completely exposed in this shaft whether or not you tried to maintain cover behind the beams," Aizawa offered a shrug as he stepped down. He wasn't a wide man but it was clear one could hit him even if he tried to center himself on the beam. "Finally, you abandoned a plan that could have worked out for you to try and mix things up against someone chasing you. Had you stuck to the streets, you would have lasted much longer. In scenarios where running is your primary option--say, to gather allies--cover is paramount but not so much cover that you pigeon-hole yourself."
"So, essentially, do your best to keep the advantage I give you during runs like these. Mixing it up can be helpful but only once you've assessed the strengths and weaknesses. With a power like yours--you don't want to leave things to chance."
