Too bad his neighbor is a Kamen Rider and is probably going to kick him out of existence.

Some Kamen Riders have used guns though.

Most Kamen Riders actually.

Ironbite-Wizard combines the two in fact.

I wouldn't say most used guns, it's more of a Heisei thing.
And now I want to play the new Climax Heroes game.

I only really know W and he never really used Trigger that often.

Off the top of my head there's Kuuga's green form, Zolda from Ryuki (though that was more pure dakka than sniping), Drake from Kabuto, Delta from Faiz, one of Den-O's forms used a gun, W's Trigger form, can't recall if OOOs had a gunform and Wizard's swordgun thing. Can't comment on Hibiki, Blade or Kiva though.

Off the top of my head the only Heisai Riders that don't use guns are Agito, Blade, Hibiki, and OOOs.  And W used Trigger a lot.  Not as often as Metal but enough to be noticed.

Ironbite-really wish we had gotten to see LunaJoker's finisher once in the show rather then A to Z.

Agreed.  Fang Joker is one of my fav forms for W.  Though I do like Cyclone Joker Extreme Gold cause we finally get to see what type of an insect W is supposed to be.

Ironbite-a Dragonfly.

It was more of a tricky type thing.  They just didn't utilize it as much, pairing it up with Trigger so for homing attacks.  Which admittedly, doesn't make sense with the gimmick but whatever.

Ironbite-I like the Joker Extreme finishers

Post by: ironbite on December 03, 2012, 12:21:23 am
I don't collect the toys I just watch the show.  And I like the Joker Finishers.  They're...kinda cool but way underused.  I think Heat Joker was used once properly and Luna Joker ended up being used in the movie which sucked balls for me.  I like watching the various ways a Kamen Rider finishes off the opponent.  Which is why I like Wizard's Rider Kick so much.  It's a Handspring Corkscrew Flying Side Kick.  Don't see that every day.

Ironbite-that and I love the Wizardriver.

Well at least we won't have that with Shunpei in Wizard.  Cause if we do, I'm going to Japan to cap a bitch.

Also I loved how in Fourze we had a grand total of 5 deaths.  I started rewatching W last night and....holy shit the difference is night and day there.  People died left and right in W.  And don't get me started at on OOO.  Holy hell whole buildings of people died.

Ironbite-at least Wizard compromised and had the deaths mean something with all the Phantoms being people who died in despair and exploded.

Title: Re: Dumbest Kamen rider thread detrails
Post by: ironbite on December 03, 2012, 07:58:50 pm
My advice?  Start watching W.  It's a great intro to the series and doesn't really get bogged down as much as Decade does.  Also Wizard is a good one and Fourze well....Fourze you'll have to see to believe.

Ironbite-honestly 5 deaths...that was it.

Seconding starting with W, it's also a lot better than the previous starter rec which was Kabuto, which though good, has it's plot fall to pieces spectacularly after episode 30 or so.

Also if you think W is bloody, try watching Kuuga, they got away with a lot.

Oh dear god Kabuto.  In a way I'm glad we've gotten away from the mess that was Kabuto, Ryuki, and Blade with having so many Riders who all deserve a shot in the spotlight, I kind of miss that.  But Kabuto dear god that's a mess.  It only makes sense if you see the movie God Speed Love which makes the entire series an AU because of what happened in the movie.  It's a mess to be honest.  W's much more clean and straighforward.  OOOs is a good one as well if you like going through how many god damn combos 15 coins can make.  The sheer number....makes my mind boogle.  Den-O is also a lot of fun and is one of the most popular series in Kamen Rider history for some ungodly reason.  Not only did the crossover movie complete shit on the current Rider of that time, not hard to do when it's fucking Waturu who only gets awesome in Decade, they're still making movies starring Den-O.  It's insane.

Ironbite-but yeah W's a good series to start as is Fourze in my opinion.
Title: Re: Dumbest Kamen rider thread detrails
Post by: starseeker on December 04, 2012, 01:47:58 pm
I believe Den-O's ratings were fairly low but it sold an utter shitton of toys. That and the most popular guys are guys in rubber suits with VAs, so it's cheap to make films based around them.

I believe Ryuki was originally planned as a Metal Heroes show, which makes sense seeing as it's magic/science armours rather than cyborg/mutant/mystic transformations. It got good ratings and toys so they continued. Kabuto killed it off by having the secondary riders' merch not sell so well. Which is why we now have form changers and maybe 1 secondary rider.

I plan to watch Decade only when I've seen the other ones before it. This means I'm gonna have to get more than 10 eps into Den-O (urgh), watch Blade (likely raw as the current subs are pretty ropey), Hibiki (I have heard bad things about post episode 30) and Kiva (Twilight with stuff being kicked and time travel).

IB: you seen the currently airing Sentai, it seems to be cribbing a bit from Kamen Rider with the powered modes.
Title: Re: Dumbest Kamen rider thread detrails
Post by: Cloud3514 on December 04, 2012, 06:13:43 pm
Off the top of my head the only Heisai Riders that don't use guns are Agito

Agito fought along side G3/G3-X (all his monster kills were with guns), so it would have just seemed repetitive to have him use a gun, on top of it not fitting his theme of psychic powers.

Also, G3-X is the greatest Kamen Rider ever.

Post by: ironbite on December 04, 2012, 06:20:29 pm
Yes I am watching Go-Buster and no, they're not cribbing from Kamen Rider with Powered Custom.  In fact, it's actually a Sentai tradition to have a powered mode.  Or are we forgetting SWAT Mode from Dekaranger, Legend Mode from Magiranger or whatever the hell Goseiger's supermode was called?

Oh I know about the powered mode, I was thinking more the Rider Punch and Rider Kick finishers. I mean seriously Yellow's looks like it was borrowed wholesale from Faiz.

Movie War Core did give us the awesomeness that was Skull Crystal but you still have the OOOs portion to sit through and that's just...retarded.  Honest to god retarded.  We did get our first look at Tajador though but yeah...Core wasn't that good.

Ironbite-All Riders at least kept a consistent plot despite retarded time-travel bullshit.

Accel yes, Eternal no.  Accel's new Booster Form is kinda awesome and the story is cute.  Then again it's got Akkiko acting all paranoid and we get the Magician Girl/HurricaneBlue back as well.

Ironbite-I'm not a fan of Eternal even if he is the "hero" in the movie.

Title: Re: Dumbest Kamen rider thread detrails
Post by: ironbite on December 07, 2012, 02:46:01 pm
Don't ask me any questions....and then everyone proceeds to ask him questions.  Ryu was someone that just about made that series.  He was so damn serious in his quest to kill Shinkuro and then once he kills him....he's still so serious all the damn time.  It really was a shock when he got together with Akiko though.

Ironbite-watch the Accel movie...they are hilarious.

Well just finished Blade, and I kinda liked it. Overlapping subplots meant that something actually happened in each ep *cough* Wizard *cough*, the suit design was nice, and I generally liked the characters, though Spider!Leangle was an utter git and Garren was a terrible judge of character.

As Wizard has gotten to episode 17, it's time for the introduction of the secondary rider. And he is an annoying twat. At least the mandatory antagonism has a point this time round, since they have mutually exclusive goals. But seriously the show feels like lifeless painting by numbers, it's annoying.
Title: Re: Dumbest Kamen rider thread detrails
Post by: ironbite on January 11, 2013, 05:56:32 pm
No no no.  Bad Starseeker.  You misunderstand the point of Nito.  He gives the show actual life as opposed to Haruto who's....well Haruto.  In 1 episode, I have seen more character development from this Nito then I have in 16 from Haruto.  Sure he's a bit annoying but god damn does he have character.  Add in how he casts his spells and what fuels them....oh he's my favorite secondary rider since Date and his goal of 1 million Cell Medals.

Ironbite-love how he thinks Haruto eats mana from Phantoms though...that'll get cleared up soon.
Title: Re: Dumbest Kamen rider thread detrails
Post by: starseeker on January 11, 2013, 06:07:35 pm
I'm still classing him as an annoying twat until his intro arc is over. But yeah Wizard is terrible with characterisation and character interaction. I still have no damn clue what Rinko's in the show for except blatant eyecandy.
I think my favourite secondary rider was Ryusei in Fourze, if only for his snarky inner monologue.

I actually like Shunpei.  Probably because, underneath his bumbling bumblerness, I find him sympathetic.

...That doesn't mean I don't facepalm at his antics, but then, I think you're supposed to :P

Rinko is a policewoman.  She probably considers it her duty to do what she can because of all of this nasty nonsense with the phantoms.  Not to mention she's pretty obviously into Haruto.

Well fuck spoilers.  Faiz was a member of the species as the MOTS.  That was why he could use the Faiz dvier so effectively.  Same with the other two belts Kaixia and Delta.  But the movie was weird in that Faiz lost his memory but kept fighting.

So as I'm watching Faiz (Ibbles, I'd be more annoyed by that spoiler if I hadn't already ruined it for myself), I can't help but be happy that Keitaro isn't half as irritating and annoying as Shunpei. Shunpei is the entire reason I haven't watched Wizard since around episode 10.

Shunpei's been undergoing a lot of character development recently, actually.

Know who pisses me off in Faiz?  Faiz himself.

Ironbite-dude's just...ug!

Ok, Ibbles what's your take on this guy:

It's Gills.  He's a fail version of Agito.  And Agito's kinda awesome by himself.

Ironbite-other then that my only experience is with the AU version that is Decade.

So, you never saw Agito, then? Because Agito and Gills have rather little in common. Another Agito is the "fail version" of Agito, being a corrupted Agito.

Going by what I was exposed to in Decade.  Also Gills himself is boring.  I like Exceed Gills a whole lot better.

Ironbite-time to tentacle rape monsters to death.

I think Gills has a more interesting set of powers than Agito, having his body practically falling apart faster the more he turned into Gills. The writers threw that out the window when they introduced Gills Exceed as all of the damage to his body was fixed immediately and he never had to worry about it again. Also, Gills has tentacles, just not as many as Gills Exceed.

Not to mention that they never really explained how Gills worked in the first place. Agito is presented as a manifestation of psychic powers (yeah, I know, just go with it) and G3/G3-X is a suit of power armor, but the source of Gills' powers is never explained.

Also, my personal favorite Rider is G3-X and I would have a G3-X Figuarts by now if he weren't out of print.

Also Agito doesn't have my favorite Riders anyways.  I prefer the designs in Kiva even if the characters themselves were ass.

Ironbite-looking at you Waturu.

Yes even the fapsword.

Ironbite-honestly the designs in Kiva were a lot better looking then Den-O...but that's just me.

Yep, /m/ managed to fill 2 threads in 2 days just bitching about that. Though there's more speculation going round based on upcoming episode titles. I'd just be happy if she lives to the end of the series.

And, what, pray tell, was their reasoning for being against a female Rider?

They weren't so much against it, as being very genre savvy with how female riders get treated. Namely they've only appeared in the films and supposedly have a rather high rate of being killed off. Lots of toy speculation as well.

Ok, that's much better than the whining about it happening in the first place that I was expecting.

There was also some translation arguements that escaped from the Kyouruger thread. A mod actually stepped in and deleted some of the stupider rows.
