ToQGAF 2014 | Hanamichi! The Next Stop Is Imagination's Stage!

bad gameplay lol
New Battride War II trailer. As I thought, absolutely no confirmation of playable pre-W secondary Riders. But there is mention of a "partner system", so again as I thought, the secondary Riders are basically limited to assists. Oh and Zangetsu Shin is free DLC, so that's something I guess.

But yeah, my money would be better spent elsewhere I think. Only like three new characters = not worth it.

Even with unlimited imagination can't help the limitation of what can you do with trains.

The other sentai motifs were more creative because each zord was a different class whereas each Toqger's zords is the same class type. Which is why Dieseloh is more appealing than Toqoh lol.

Also the fact that it looks like it came straight from the 80's!

Holy fuck, they really put in that samurai guy over actual Riders. :(

Not going to lie, that Trailer was pretty hype. Looks like they gave Emperor Kiva the unused-in-show Bassha Fever too.

So.. Abaranger 18 through 20 have been subbed. I hear they're quite exciting.

I'm cautious of getting into Imagination's Abaranger because the last guys that tried to sub Abaranger didn't even get to Abarekiller. Once they get there, I'm in.

Oh, well, if you INSIST...

...really? What do the creators have against zangetsu? It looks better than shin, and has that badass capt america like shield.
Not to mention that the secondary riders are still support characters, they could have done co-op and emphasized the "2" in the title, but instead, we get movie stuff being promoted over something like co-op.

I blew the whole Zangetsu thing outta proportion, but the game still looks fun with the addition of Gaim. It just lacks what I want out of a Rider game like this.

Same. I mean, part of me still wants to buy it, because hell, it's a halfway decent Kamen Rider game. But without a substantially larger roster than the first game, I can't justify the high price of importing. Just feels like my money would be better spent elsewhere.

Aahh, I see. Yeah, it gets that reaction from everyone. And the bitch is, that's the episodes Americans were exposed to and it influenced their opinion of Abaren as a whole. The show itself really isn't like that...

It's just so much more bizarre than every other episode, and there's no real reason for it. It's just suddenly like, "MUSHROOM CUTS! NOT BARRY BONDS! ABARANGERS WITH MUSHROOM CUTS!"

Yes! I thought after the failure of the Gavan movie they would kill off the series again, but a new movie by Sakamoto and Arakawa featuring the best parts of Gavan and SHTZ? Yes!

Wait why is there a samurai in Battride Wars 2?

He's the main character from the Japanese drama series Abarenbo Shogu, the OOO Wonderful movie was a crossover with it. Of course, they include that samurai but somehow remove the Showa Riders from All Riders vs Dai-Shocker...
 
After this V Cinema finds great success on the back of Iwanaga's appeal, Toei will make him the lead of the next Sentai: Red Rose of Manly Sentai Baranger.

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
does anyone know if theyve dropped the mirrored gaim concept? i havent seen anything regarding the 3 pronged armor outside the reflection in the intro

Waiting for new episode of Gaim, I've been watching Kyoryuger for the first time. I'm enjoying it, but Gaim's continuous and sustained storyline without monster of the week makes Kyoryuger a little rougher to watch.

I'm sticking with it, though. I love everything about the transformation sequence except that SILLY tap dance they keep doing. Samba, I get it. The rest is cool as hell, especially "Things are about to get wild!" (I still think Gaim's riders have way cooler transformations. They're just so swag)

King is a really likable character. He reminds me a bit of Luffy. Powerful, likable, but kind of idiotic. Despite sharing characteristics with Kouta from Gaim, they're very different characters.

(Kouta is absolutely lovable. Love that dude)

That'll make anything rougher to watch. Gaim is really the only recent show that does this.

Oh I know. I've been really impressed with Gaim's storyline.

That said, Kyoryu Gold just showed up, and him pretending to be stoic is hilarious. Love the dude and his pimp gold sneaks.

The best part about Kyoryuger is how they make each episode worth watching, even if it's not a continuous serial like Gaim. And even then, the show has a ton of multi-part episodes, some even 4 parters! Even the finale was a two-parter.

YES. I finally got to catch up to as far as GAIM 27 today. College was rough but I graduated just in time to go through work stuff (restructure of R&D means tied up....still)

In any event I managed to watch some Gaim and it got reaaaaaaaaaaaally good in the time I was out. Kachidoki arms looks amazing, and overall I'm loving the plot development and character evolutions. Really great series. I cannot wait to buy and play Battride War 2 . Looks like a major improvement over the rather bare bones Battride War 1.

That's actually just the way the floor reflects. If you see the opening in recent episodes which there's no movie advertisement (episode 21 is one of those) in which they changed the pile of locks to a pile of lockseeds you can see that Gaim's reflection, instead of having 3 pronged helmet, has a helmet in which the prongs disappear as he moves his head around.

It's just a wavy reflection table that gave the impression that there were 3 prongs on the helmet. The way he moves his head, you can see he was putting his head in the place where the left and the middle helmet prongs are starting to show up, but then he sways his head back to the right and they disappear.
