Kiva's finishers were awesome, and terribly under-utilised.
While fruit armour and weapons are cool, and the story really mind blasting, the finishers have been somewhat inconsistent and bland for me. Nothing really creative other than adding fruity projections to the typical slash, shoot and kick stuff. Also, while this is really a matter of personal taste, I find it annoying that 'squash', 'au lait' and 'sparking' don't correspond to similar categories of finishers for every rider. E.g. I would have liked it if 'squash' corresponds to a rider kick or body-based attack, and 'au lait' a weapon based attack. Baron's squash and au lait are also too similar. However, I think stabbing the ground for a banana power wave is incredulously cool for some reason. And Baron's sengoku 'sparking' has been my favourite finisher of the series thus far. That, and 'soiya!'. |

I'd be here all day trying to sort out for myself what my favorite arsenals were, but as for finishers?
1. W 2. Fourze 3. Faiz 4. OOO 5. Gaim I would have put Wizard, Kiva, and maybe Decade on the list, but Wizard never complete showed us what shooting strike would look like in Land Style or Hurricane, and Infinity could have had a better finisher in general (like tapping the Element based rings on AxeCalibur to give is an elemental attack, and maybe having a Dragon shaped attack for the Dragon rings. By that time in the show I'm sure the CGI budget was windling down, but still). Kiva has the simple problem of A.) never using Bashaa in Emperor form until Battride War 2, and B.) the Emperor sword wasn't that cool. The dropping down of that mouth thing always confused me, what exactly does it do (kinda like the DJ part of the DJ gun, why does Kouta need to scratch it so often after switching the dial? Can't he Switch the dial then scratch, or maybe scratch it to turn in on the switch the dial and fire? It seems like they make him do it too much). Decade's problem is actually Diend. All he does is fire the Dimension Shoot, ignoring the Final Ride cards he transforms the Riders into. Why not give him a Rider Punch finisher since Decade didn't have one, or finishers based off other secondary riders that don't involve having them around? I'm not even asking for a kick, just something else besides Dimension Shoot. |
