Yup, that was the idea

Kind of in the same train of thought, but if Sento is represented by a Rabbit, then Misora is a bunny.

Rewatched Mega Max. Got me kind of wanting for some more modern Showa stuff.

During my Den-O watch, ever since I noticed the Rhino Imagin have "Rhino" written across his chest, I've been trying to see just how many of the Imagin had their name (Or part of it) written on them
Or in the case of Seig, the name of their animal

Recently I’ve been thinking about how Ark-Zero is, I feel, a great villain but completely in the wrong show. I think he gets across the idea of a cold calculating machine filled with malice and being the very embodiment of fear extremely well but I don’t personally feel it’s a good fit for what Zero-One was about and it’s why I can’t get into the post-clip show portion of the series at all.
Regardless though, my point is that... I feel he’s in the wrong show, right? ... how incredible would it have been if we had something like him in the last third of Ghost? A big problem a lot of people have that I see echoed sround a lot is that while it’s clear what the Ganmaizers are going for and they generally work out thematically, they are just very boring and unmemorable. So what if you replaced them with something like Ark-Zero that embodies everything they’re about but also gets across their sheer terror effortlessly? I think if you removed his being a Kamen Rider too (as Ghost is not the kind of series that benefits from having the villains be riders), but just had him subtly look like a screwed up version of Ghost; that would seriously up the ante. Whether he’s possessing Alain’s brother himself or a separate Ganmaizer stand in I think this sort of thing would have worked so well!

I kinda thought Ark-Zero and the Ganmaizers are baaaasically the same thing, that being these unfazable monsters with a single-minded goal of destruction? The only difference being that Ark-Zero occasionally gives a cheesy villain line whereas the Ganmaizers, ironically, sound more like robots.
I definitely agree that he didn't belong in Zero-One though. I might have been glad that they got rid of him before the end, but I still don't think he should have been a thing to begin with. |

Personally, I think he does fine, but I would've preferred if he was completely silent the whole time he was Ark-Zero. Kinda like Metal Cluster Hopper was when it was berserk. A silent and cold machine with the only intent of accomplishing its programming. But Sei Ohama's performance as Ark Zero was amazing regardless tho. |

I was thinking of a Kamen Rider Fighting game, 1v1. It would be a 6 button fighter, but a simplified system. 4 attack buttons (Light, medium, heavy, and special), with 2 additional buttons for transformations and such.
And the transformations would be the key gimmick. When you select your character, you also pick what forms you want. For example, if you selected Kuuga, you would then select which one of his 3 forms you want (Titan, Dragon, Pegasus. You'll automatically get the corresponding rising form) and then which Final Form you want (Ultimate or Rising Ultimate). I was thinking something similar to how MKX did their system, in that your forms and supers change things up. However, for the forms, you can freely swap (So, for example, if you selected Titan, then you can freely swap between Mighty and Titan forms (Though with a small cooldown to prevent spamming or some kind of strange combo loop or whatever), while final forms would have a timer on them. Where the craziness comes in is for the later riders. For example, if you select OOO, you would have by default Taka, Tora, and Batta. Then you can select 3 more medals, one for each slot. So the player would have the free choice to select a full combo, or just 3 random medals that they feel would work well for them (Though Combos would provide their special bonus powers like in the show). For characters with multiple powers going at once, I would pick one specific piece to alter their gameplay, while the others would provide bonuses or stat changes (Example: Shotaro's side in Double would alter gameplay, while Philip's side would provide numerous stat and ability changes). Additionally, the form change button would have a corresponding direction to change the specific pieces. Such as back, down, or forward+Form change for OOO's medals. The only one I haven't figured out is Fourze's switches ) For variety's sake, I was also thinking that, so characters like Ryuki, Hibiki, and Kabuto actually have options, they could get something like Summon Dragredder or attach all his vents (Sword, Strike, Shield), Kurenai or...Something (I dunno ), and Put On or Clock Up (Kabuto's special moves and supers would make use of Clock Up, but this form change would allow him to just straight up use Clock Up. Unlike other form changes, though, this operates with a timer. So while he can turn it on or off at will, while it's active, the timer is counting down. It recharges while he's not using it, but it recharges slowly since the ability to slow time down in a fighting game is stupid good) Anyway, yeah, I'm just rambling because I have Kamen Rider and fighting games on the mind
