Oh Den-O, glad you're here, I just remembered I wanted to make the poll allow people to choose more than one rider! Since we have 8 competing in this battle, the top two will go onto the tourney. Do you think you can fix it?

I'm looking into that :lol I'm not sure that I can do that once the pole is open. When I click on the edit options for this thread I can only change the title. It won't let me edit the first post with the actual pole in it. I asked some of the others about it though. I'll let you know what I can do.

Caucasus cus hyper clock up =] That and I dig the design, heck I like most of the dark riders/movie villain designs anyway, they're just badass in every way.

Don't you mean Kamen Rider Oga? :D

Oh TV-Nihon. :lol

I want to vote Skull, simply because Skull. But truth be told I know absolutely nothing about any of these guys so I'm gonna sit this out for the time being and have a think about.

Arc, you want to vote for Arc > . >

Skull has a fedora. Arc doesn't :p

As much as I want to vote for Orga, I'm going for Skull on this one.

Skull Banisher. I don't think the others stand a chance.

Come on guys, don't vote skull just because he's awesome. If that were the case then he'd win every single competition. Caucasus is the most logical choice because of his sheer power. I may have argued against Kabuto when he was up against Decade but this one is a no brainer to me.

I'm going with Ryuga. He combines one of the most versatile Advent Decks with cold-blooded violence. He's Ryuki with the gloves taken off and he managed to kill the strongest Contract Monster on the show pretty easily.

Skull's cool and all, but Ryuga is way more powerful.

I haven't seen God Speed Love, so I have no real knowledge about Caucasus, but I'm already getting tired of the "Clock Up = instant win" argument.

It's not even just clock up (because that argument killed me in the kabuto/decade thread). Caucasus can control the hyper Zecter and freely control time as well.

But I will give that Ryuga may be a smart choice as well. He did destroy Genocider, which resulted in Ouja going out stupidly easy at the hands of Femme. Come to think of it I actually couldn't vote for Ryuga because of that. He "killed" my favorite character :lol

Clock up doesn't equal instant win silly, hyper clock up does =]

But as Den-O said Caucasus is really powerful, he does this bad ass thing of leaving a blue rose when he kills people, and if memory serves they even kick him in to space and that doesn't stop him =p

ill vote arc cause he actually made kiva turn evil plus all he had to do was punch him to stop kivas rider kick

He killed one of my favorite Ryuki characters, too. Poor Miho. :cry

DiEnd is more powerful, but he's rather lazy and loses interest very quickly.
If he has nothing to gain, he doesn't care.
If it doesn't involve Tsukasa, he still won't care.
He's like a Jack Sparrow.

Lol should have listed Kato's apathy as a weakness

Generally speaking, Kabuto hands down is by far a better fighter than Decade. He has form, grace, and usually never gets owned/thrown aside/etc unless it's by Decade. Decade on the other hand, while supposed to be the destroyer of worlds, has a knack for getting tossed around-- this is shown throughout the the series and the movies. Unfortunately I picked Decade, because.. he is Decade.

While I'm aware that the real riders never showed up until the end of the series after the AU Riders disappeared, I just wanted to point out that I knew exactly which Kabuto was being used but still chose Decade anyway. The reason being is because even if logic presents itself through and through, Decade somehow will manage to win, regardless.

Skull is in the lead with 9, which I guess secures his place in the tournament, with Caucasus in second at 4 votes. This battle closes Tuesday, everybody get your opinions in!

Skull wins hands down

I voted for Caucasus because he is superior.

However, 2 things.
1. It's pretty much a lost cause for anyone going up against Skull.
2. I don't care who wins this one.

just because of bad ass hard boiled style I want to say Skull...that he would just deftly move and attack...but honestly he would last a few minutes then any of the above would take him out...he is my low tier...

G4, again limited to the user. I could see him taking out Skull actually...Orga is a pure power house, that blade of his is just utter decimation, but he has to hit to win. Caucasus, you have all the Kabuto stuff that has been said...BUT again, does he have mastery over the full potential of his power?

To cut to the chaise, I give this one to Ryuga. Simply put he knows and reaches his potential with his power set. He could keep Caucasus busy by having him do some monolog, and while he may fake injuries due to the clock up attack, he would Advent and *BAM* cheap shot him through the floor like he did Femme (best scene ever)...plus do we know the range of the "Strange Vent"? it just copies the next power his attacker uses, so how do we know that doesn't cross the Advent Card spectrum?

I had to go with Caucasus. While I love Skull and I'm sure his popularity will carry him far, I just don't know if he can throw down with a guy who has the Hyper Zector.

Okay guys, need your opinion, since this poll has 20 votes already, do you wanna close this battle and start up the next one?

so we need a poll about the poll? what is this, a corporation? lol

I'd just get on with it. Over half the voters voted for Skull. I don't see anyone catching up to that.

Nah, just curious lol, I realize that opinions are more spread out in this thread lol

As much as I want to say Skull, I've got go go with Caucusas. Hyper Clock Up man, Hyper Clock Up

At this point peoples love for Skull (which I also have) is gonna keep him on top. Even though it'd be completely illogical for him to be able to win against several of the other Riders listed. I'm still sticking with Caucasus on this one.

This is how I feel. Almost word for word.

I've decided to close this battle early, Skull and Caucasus move onto the Tourney!

Kamen Rider Similarities Battle Round 13: Holy Red Motorcycle, Batman!
 

This battle observes 2 riders who can take the form of something else, one similar to a Kaijin, and another that turns into a motorcycle-

Kamen Rider Kiva (2008)

VS

Kamen Rider Accel (Kamen Rider W, 2010)

And now for some facts
Kiva:

• Able to perform the Darkness Moon Break, a rider kick that shifts day to night
• Can shift into Garulu Form, wielding the Garulu Saber, giving him the ability to fight in a feral state while increasing his speed
• Can shift into Basshaa Form, allowing him to wield the Bashaa Magnum and control water, with his finisher being able to follow the opponent, due to his increased accuracy and marksmanship.
• Can assume Dogga Form, allowing him to wield the Dogga Hammer and control electricity, while also giving him super strength.
• Can blend the three forms and become DoGaBaKi form, allowing him to access the 3 weapons.
• Can attach the Buroon Booster to his motorcycle, allowing it to increase speed.
• Can summon the Castle Doran and Shoodoran, dragons to aid him in battle.
• Most Powerful Form: Emperor Form
• As Emperor Form, he becomes exponentially stronger, able to use Tatsulot to use several “Fever” attacks and can assume Flight Style, a dragon like creature known as the “Emperor Bat.”
• Wields the Zanvat Sword
• Weaknesses- Kiva may hesitate killing someone if they had befriended him, Kivat is required to access Kiva Form while Tatsulot is required to access Emperor Form, if either are incapacitated, he can’t fight. Dogga Form loses speed in favor of power, Basshaa form lacks power in hand to hand combat.

Accel:

• Has 3 forms (4 counting bike form)
• Wields the Engine Blade, which has 3 different attacks (Jet, Electric, Steam)
• Bike Form allows him to travel without the use of a Rider Machine, can combine with the Gunner A, to use a powerful shot, or a Maximum Drive using the Engine memory
• Most Powerful Form: Trial (TV), Booster (Movies)
• Trial allows him to move at fast speeds, giving him the ability to slash or hit an opponent multiple times in a small amount of time
• Booster allows Accel to fly at fast speeds
• Weakness: Needs Gaia Memories to Henshin, Trial takes away Bike Form and offensive power

This battle closes on the 4th of July!

Wataru would be too busy being emo in the bathtub. Terui for the win.

in the famous words of kivat bat the third..wake up!!

One minor stipulation: The Zanvat saber pretty much becomes Kiva's standard weapon at the halfway point. He has complete access to it even when not in Emperor Form.
Let's Go Kamen Rider even has him using it in his Kiva Form (Lol redundancy. Kiva's base form is "Kiva Kiva Form" :lol).
Also, he can still use his Arms beasts while in Emperor form (Though only Emperor Garulu appeared, it is possible for him to use the other 2, in addition to the HBV exclusive Emperor DoGaBaKi.)

Anyway, I'm voting Kiva. The early Wataru was a wimp and the mid Wateru was emo, but by the end of the series, he grew enough for me to think he could take Accel.
Power wise, Accel is probably stronger, with Booster's flight giving him a major advantage, but I think Kiva could take him out the sky. Trial's speed is another story, but his Death of a Thousand Papercuts style of fighting can be countered with Dogga's resilience.

I want to root for Terui, but end of series Wataru could take him I'd think.

Accel for me...again goes with experience plus frankly the Gunner A can be used independently for artillery strikes. I think he could out manoever Kiva in either upgraded mode. Plus you know The Chief would never forgive him if he lost to a pumpkin head...

This ones difficult, but I got to go with Kiva. I think Dogga form is enough of a tank to counter the rapid kicks of Trial form. Plus the fact he turns into a giant bat is awesome, and the way Tatsulot can power up the Arms gives him a big power boost.

I'm sorry but Castle Doran > Gunner A.

But it's Kiva, he wouldn't use Dogga form - he'd just go straight to Emperor like he always did. And frankly, Emperor is one of the weaker final forms out there.
