Recently I came across

> 優希から直取りすれば逆転トップだぞ！？

And I was surprised to see it written like that rather than

> 優希から直取れば逆転トップだぞ！？

Is this a general thing that can be done with any 連用形 form of a verb? If not,
then which ones? And what nuance does this carry, when compared with any of
the "normal"?

question
conditionals renyōkei
What is the nuance of using 連用形 with すれば rather than other forms of conditionals?
This 直取り is a [noun coined from the masu-stem of a
verb](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/32311/5010), also working as a
suru-verb. There is no such a verb as 直取る. (直取れば may be used as a joke,
though.)

お願い is a representative example of this; you can say お願いすれば but not お願う or
お願えば. Other examples of suru-verbs that may look like godan/ichidan verbs
include 馬鹿売れ, お使い, ひとっ飛び, 前借り, 大泣き and so on. Hmm, maybe this happens often
with adverb-like prefixes?
