Doesn't Shin just have a normal bike he owned beforehand? Shin is strange and hilariously bad in my opinion, especially for the scene where we have the mad scientist ranting about how grasshoppers are telepathic soldiers who fight for their nation and will overthrow god.

Yeah and as far as I can remember he never actually rides it while transformed.

Blaze Dragon posted:Calling Nico incompetent is kind of weird when she managed to beat a lot of powered-up Bugsters with the shittiest tech in the series. As a Ride-Player, which again, is literally the shittiest form in-series to the point that it seems to be made specifically to get its users killed (and Parad sure took advantage of this), she managed to be far more competent and skilled than, say, Brave Lv5. And she managed to keep her life when every other Ride-Player either abandoned, had to get saved, or just died, putting her above Kuroto (who has died over a hundred times) in terms of survival.

nico was by far the best ride player, but that's not really saying much considering that every other ride player was limited to ineffectual flailing. none of them had the slightest success against any bugster. she probably would be a perfectly good kamen rider if given the chance, though. also, the kamen rider w manga perfectly captures how incredibly bad shotaro is with women.

Down to shorter chapters now, but I think they're weekly from here on. We should also have a revised version of Chapter 1 done soon-ish as we've worked on smoothing over the dialogue a bit so that it feels more natural. http://live.ozc-anime.com/2017/08/kamen-rider-w-fuuto-detective-chapter-2/

And Nico is still a Ride Player, if powerful one. They just can't match level 50s and 100s, especially when it devolves to straight fighting instead of unique gimmicks like Burgermon's game.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Hey gently caress you buddy, Dan Kuroto God has only died ninety-eight times and he died (mostly, kind of?) to save the world so back off with that slander. Even if we only count the 98 lives lost before the Reset, he still died as a human, so that's 99. And he got several lives back from Masamune's Reset, which pushes it over a hundred (though I can't give an exact number, I don't remember how many lives he lost before it). That he's still living after dying so much and still the best is only more proof about his godly talents, of course. I, too, believe in Neo Dan "Dangerous Zombie" Kuroto God. GuyUpNorth posted:And Nico is still a Ride Player, if powerful one. They just can't match level 50s and 100s, especially when it devolves to straight fighting instead of unique gimmicks like Burgermon's game. Imagine all of that skill but with the proper equipment. I won't blame the series for not doing it, but I'll be genuinely annoyed if the post-series specials don't have one dedicated to Nico going beyond Ride-Player and into full-blown Kamen Rider Nico. That can be a heavily customized Cronus. I won't complain about it, the Cronus suit would look really cute with decals and the bag. Not sure how you'd get the hat on though... W manga-wise, I'm surprised that they didn't go for two very long chapters to mimic the series' two-episode plots. I expected it to, but I won't complain about a weekly manga either.

However, I did previously look at his Wiki to see if I could find an exact number. I could not, but man is that thing a gift. Not only do they try to fit every single special/cameo into his story outline, but there is a segment titled "Murdering Burgermon" which I think has to raise the canon of Ex-Aid yet higher in the pantheon of greatness.

Faiz and Blade are probably tied for most bike use of the Heisei Riders. Blade didn't fight on his much but he used it pretty much all the time to go running after Undead. And Faiz's bike was a transformer which was cool for the two times he used it to help him in fights. Then there's Hibiki, who didn't have a bike at all until after the horrible changes past episode 30.

I think Kuuga might take them both down. He straight up had motorcycle duels and they were amazing. King of Bikes for the Showa Era is without question Kamen Rider Black. Battle Hopper Best Bike. I own two bikes. I went out of my goddamn way to get Battle Hopper's figuart, and Cyclone came with my SIC OG Hongo. I basically have two toy lines I'm 'collecting', in a given term for it. I don't have a lot of cash so it's reserved for either gifts from friends or BIG CELEBRATION things, but I'm keeping up with the NECA Godzilla line as much as I care to. Meaning, I get the new sculpts and ignore the remolds and repaints- unless it's specifically a new version of the character like Burning Godzilla- and this line is pretty easy to keep up with since they're only 20 a pop and they come out so infrequently My longer running one though, is SIC Kamen Rider. Figuarts are fine, but I have giant meaty man hands that don't play nice with small fragile things for a few reasons I won't go into. So their size has always been an issue for me. Even then, they're so small and have so little going on most of the time, I cannot feel like I'm getting my money's worth, which is absolutely a thing for me. I have a few figuarts though. I have Ultimate Kuuga, which a friend got for me back in 2011 I think, maybe 2012, I have a ZO that another friend that happens to be on these very forums, Jason, picked up for me at a convention. And I have the threesome of New Shadow Moon, New Kamen Rider Black and New Battle Hopper. Mostly because they look absolutely perfect and I really hate what they did to Black in SIC form. So for those four, I'm relatively fine with having them just as Figuarts. They're the Riders I love the most besides V3 who I'm still not happy with his figuart But with SIC, I actually have a goal in mind that I've been slowly working towards. I aim to collect all Seven Legendary Riders, Plus Two. (And the others that come along for the ride) So far I have Kamen Riders Ichigo and Stronger, specifically the original Ichigo figure that had articulation and came with Cyclone. Which is a giant thing, for the record. So that's Two out of the Seven that I want. However thanks to having Stronger, I also have Tackle, who I of course have in her full Kamen Rider style helmet, so that's One out of the Two extras. The other extra? ZO. He just arrived today and I could not be happier. I have a massive weak spot for ZO because he's really no one's favorite Rider, but he was my first one. I own his movie on DVD from some bootleg site from God knows where, and I do dig his look for the most part. So I am more than happy to have Baby ZO and All Grown Up ZO side by side. Doras is also amazing. I'm specifically after the older versions too, which thankfully aren't that expensive so maybe in the coming years I'll be able to snatch 'em one by one. Amazon is going to be the big purchase, as he comes with his own bike and it's a monster of a thing. side note, SIC Ichigo from Volume 14 is kind of an amazing thing. It's from 2001, and it's JUST about the first figure they had that had articulation. But all the articulation is FOR is to either stand up, or to fit perfectly on his bike. So none of it works like a modern toy, or even ANY other toy I've ever seen. And the engineering is pretty goddamn incredible for how well he fits, it's just, man, he's a weird gangly fucker. I love it though, and I love the early SIC aesthetic. I can't wait to get Nigo one day and have three of the mold hanging out. The fact that all of these old SICs come with so much extra poo poo is just great. Nigo comes with a Shocker Rider, V3 comes with Riderman and his arsenal, X comes with Apollo Geist in his coolest iteration ever, Amazon comes with his bike, Stronger and Tackle and of course ZO and Doras. You almost get enough bad guys to have everyone squaring off against a virtual team up of evil villains from the history of the franchise and it's fantastic.

So after the recent talk in this thread, I sat down today and watched Timeranger episode 14. Which had a really bizarre and out of place gag where a driving instructor who I swear is being overdubbed starts literally foaming at the mouth. Like, shaving cream foaming at the mouth. This, combined with it not feeling just right lead to me looking up the episode... and yep, it was written by Toshiki Inoue. Good to see my dodgy Inoue filler detector is still working, haven't used it in a year or two. EDIT: Burkion posted:King of Bikes for the Showa Era is without question Kamen Rider Black.

Does the RevolGarry count as a bike? Between the three Boilders and the Garry (plus Accel/Trial) there was a lot of bike in Double, even if it was rarely major. Though I guess if we're counting non-bikes, nothing is going to beat Drive.

I'll admit I have a soft spot for Road Sector because it was Battle Hopper's second best friend and it just tried so hard It just couldn't match up EDIT: One day I'll get a Road Sector just to let Shadow Moon drive something. It'll complete the image. Black is the Century King, wielding the Satan Saber riding Battle Hopper Shadow Moon gets his second hand lovely Shadow Sabers and the second hand bike.

On the topic of SIC, if I were to start collecting them I'd probably focus on Den-O's part of the line, as it's the series with the most complete representation for Riders as far as I can tell(only New Den-O Vega Form and Teddy's Imagin form* appear to be missing among Riders or main cast Imagins, at least those from the show) Also cause they're some of the best looking figures in my opinion(and are past the point where SIC figures were super fragile) *although Teddy does have representation in the line in his Sword form as an accesory for New Den-O

I will say, my SIC Ichigo, which is again the first one with articulation and MAN it shows, is not fragile. The ball joints in his legs pop out pretty easy, but he's shockingly really stable at standing up on his own and nothing on him feels breakable. So don't let talk about fragility scare you. So long as you don't manhandle the basically still statues, they should be fine. Though I'm biased in that I adore the designs for all the original Riders, and am super not happy with the newer ones. I'm looking at you, Shin and Super 1. Shin, you look like a shittier version of the suit. Super 1, most of you is fantastic, why are your eyes GIANT ROUND THINGS. You have the coolest eyes, why are they so gigantic and cute what the gently caress OOOs might have the most complete collection, if you're looking into going line deep for a show. They did all of his pure combo forms, all of his movie exclusive forms, and his regular old Tatoba form. AND they did the hypothetical Ankh powered OOOs form which...one day I'll have to get as my favorite OOOs design, if only because OOO was the first series I followed week to week.

Cross posting because, 'eh, I'm rather happy with how the whole write up came out. For context, in the 1963 show Doctor Who, the first ever villains, the Daleks, are basically stand ins for Nazis and Nazi Germany. In the story in question, there is a separate group, the Thals, that are basically the British from before WWII. The Doctor and his companions urge the Thals to attack the Daleks instead of just leaving them alone, and build them up to fight because the Daleks plan to wipe out the Thals, and because they need something the Daleks have. People were discussing how bad it seemed in retrospect, with the idea of peace and negotiation being treated as naive at best, cowardly at worst. Thus this- Burkion posted:You basically have to have a very different kind of mindset when you look at some of 60s Who.

Going by what series they skip, it's probably weirdly enough a better sign for me if they do skip it. The two series they skipped were Gaim and Ex-Aid, the ones I enjoyed, and the ones they did were Wizard, Ghost (enough said) and Drive (which I mentioned why I didn't like it recently.) I do appreciate what they do, though.

So I'm probably not gonna get through Ex-Aid fast enough to watch the finale live, but at least Excite takes a few days to sub, which buys me a bit more time. Also it's kinda hard to take Dan seriously as a threatening Rider when he's decked out in neon pink and green BMX gear all the time. I loving love it.

I have seen several of the designs already, but I am excited to actually see them and not in scans. Also, I've heard Ex-Aid be compared to Gaim, but I'm glad that Ex-Aid is only focusing on 4/5 Riders as opposed to Gaim's TEN. That's a lot of Riders!
