Well if Di-end has to stoop to cheap tricks to win a fight, That doesn't make him much of a rider to me. Caucascus gets my vote.

Agito is at 7, Caucasus at 5, DiEnd at 10! This battle closes at Midnight!

Gotta say, I'm enjoying the debates way more than the actual voting.

Dat popularity power.
Decade served as an introductory series to a good chunk of members, while Agito isn't as widely available.

Shame that. Agito is not only a much better Rider, but a much better show. Krdl is making the availability issue a lot easier though.

well it thanks to Decade shinkenger Cross over that i got in to Kamen Rider and more in to after KAmen Rider Black and RX cross overs as well so i had to go back and started watching Decade From the Begin

Damn, to be honest I voted for Agito...but DiEnd sneaks his way into the semifinals!

Kamen Rider Kuuga (2000)

VS

Kamen Rider Skull (Kamen Rider W, 2010)

Stats for our competitors!
Kuuga:

• Wears the Arcle, giving him access to 14 different forms. The belt also has fused with him, making it impossible to remove from him without killing him.
• His 4 standard forms are Mighty, Dragon, Pegasus and Titan.
• Mighty is a balanced fighter.
• Dragon is an azure form that allows Kuuga to be more agile and quicker, although his physical strength is lower than Mighty Form, Dragon Form enables Kuuga to and jump quickly in order to pursue the enemy. However, it also gives Kuuga less protection, yet being better suited for quick movements and more jump power. To make up for the lack of strength, he uses the Dragon Rod staff as his weapon, created by using any pole or stick-like object to manifest it. His finishing move in this form is Splash Dragon, an aerial thrust attack to the torso.
• Pegasus is a green shooting form where Kuuga's senses are heightened to extreme, superhuman levels, enabling him to see, hit and hear his opponents with deadly precision. It also allows Kuuga to detect the enemy's position, despite whatever ability they may have to avoid detection. The downside to this is that it can not be sustained for too long because of the enormous strain placed on the nervous system from over stimulation (only 50 seconds), and if Kuuga exceeds this limit, he shall be knocked back into Growing Form and become unable to transform for two hours. Kuuga uses the Pegasus Bowgun- a crossbow/gun hybrid weapon that can be created out of any gun-like object, commonly Ichijo's hand gun. His finishing move with the bow gun is "Blast Pegasus", an arrow shot from the bowgun after pulling the hammer back to the fullest length.
• Titan is a purple herculean form where his defense is greatly increased, allowing him to withstand most of his opponents' attacks long enough to get in close range, despite sacrificing speed. This form has much larger armor that is mainly silver with large purple trims. Although this armor provides superior protection, it still leaves parts of his body exposed, thus making him still suspectible to damage. He uses the Titan Sword that can be created out of pole or stick-like objects, normally the control handle of his bike. His finishing move is "Calamity Titan", a powerful sword thrust wherein Kuuga twists the blade as it is impaled.
• Each of those forms can be further enhanced into Rising forms, adding golden trim and enhancing their weapons.
• Can turn into Amazing Mighty Form, giving him a lot more power.
• Most Powerful Form: Ultimate.
• His most dangerous form, Ultimate Form combines all the powers of the other forms, Ultmate Kuuga has a much different design colored black with gold (and a little silver) trims all over his body, as well as having five horns on the headcrest, a black belt core and spiky-looking armor. Originally a risk is that the user would lose control and become like Daguba, a monster bent on killing everything in its way. However, due to Godai's gentle nature, he retains his will as he uses the new form against Daguba, retaining the red eye color of Mighty Form as opposed to the original black eyed color. When in battle, Ultimate Kuuga is able to see a monster's human form, every single attack from Kuuga Ultimate causes his opponent to bleed, despite the enemy's powerful armor.
  This form can also utilize the same powers as Daguba including Pyrokinesis.
• Is assisted by the Gouram, which can combine with his motorcycle, the BeatChaser 2000, which can become the BeatGouram. The Gouram can attack opponents too.
• Weaknesses- His kindhearted nature may cause him to hold back against opponents. If he is seriously injured, he will turn into Growing Form and not be able to transform for two hours.

Skull:

• Can release a giant energy skull from his chest that stuns the opponent and knocks them back before rising into the air. Skull then puts the Skull Memory into the Maximum Slot, jumps up, and does a roundhouse Rider Kick, which propels the energy skull toward the opponent, whom it bites down on.
• Wields the Skull Magnum, a firearm that can release multiple shots via the Skull Punisher Finisher.
• Rider Kick is called the Skull Banisher.
• Can use the Stag Phone for support
• Rider Machine is the SkullBoilder
• Can fight back against powerful Dopants, such as Terror, without succumbing to their abilities (excluding the Spider Dopant’s, however, he wasn’t in Rider form at the time)
• Can summon the SkullGarry, a tank/garage that houses the SkullBoilder
• Weakness- Due to the Spider Dopant’s “curse,” Skull can’t come close to his daughter or they will die.

Let the first semifinal begin!!!! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FACTS ABOUT THE RIDERS, AND TAKE THEM INTO CONSIDERATION. PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS JUST A POPULARITY CONTEST.

This battle closes Wednesday!!!!

Well I think we can all agree that Kuuga would mop the floor with Skull. And I think we can all agree that Skull will win this poll anyway :lol

There's just too much W love out there for Skull not to win. I love him too but my vote has to go to Kuuga, I just can't fathom that Skulls' power could ever match up to any of Kuugas' Risings or Ultimate for that matter.

Going with Kuuga. He just seems to be overall able to wipe the floor with Skull, even without ultimate form

Kuuga. Skull is cool and all, be he really doesn't stand a chance in this match up.

As much as I love Skull, I have to go with Kuuga. Kuuga just has so much raw power and options that I don't think Skull would manage to hold up.

so he won with attack ride invisible heh.

logic dictates that when you pit someone who can destroy the world, agaisnt someone who wears a badass fedora, the fedora wins.(seriously kuuga has this)

Yeah, this one's no contest if Kuuga already beat W (who has much more options and pwers than Skull).

I'm just waiting for someone to post a BS reason as to why Skull is better, like "He's so cool, Kuuga wouldn't dare touch him." or something :lol

Anyway, Kuuga.

Kuuga currently in the lead by 8! Skull has 1

I can see this only being a fair fight if Yusuke doesn't use form changes. Even then he's still a great and determined fighter and could easily match Skull. If he goes all out, though, there's no way he doesn't mop the floor with Skull.

i think you could look at the stats listed above for these two, and see why SKULL is going to win.........:lolol






Yeah no. Kuuga all the way.

Didn't get to vote in this one. Was initially going for Agito, but reading through the thread, I was convinced in favor of DiEnd. Good on ya group!

:eyebrow Looks at anything that has to do with W :eek:

but looking at the stats and then looking at the rider them selves you know kuuga will win with out even need to go full ultimate he could end up beating Skull with just his for main form changes this is why i am going with Kuuga he to bad ass and would win agents the hard boiled detective Skull

skull, i dont care wat logic means, fedoras beat ultimate any day

Well you see, Skull's hat is actually a weapon, used much like that hat in the Avengers (not the Marvel one, the one with Sean Connery dressed as a Care Bear). He removes it while transforming because the hat can cut through anything including his helmet. All Skull has to do is toss his hat at Kuuga and it's instant victory!





...It's also instant BS :D

So Skull is Kung Lao? :lol

Yeah, but Mortal Kombat doesn't have Sean Connery dressed as a Care Bear in it. :p

I do like Skull, but I'll go with Kuuga here. Skull seems so limited by comparison.

Touché :lol

As tempting as it is to go against the grain, it's even more tempting to not vote for the guy who beat Super-1. ;_; Kuuga it is.

I have to vote for Skull. I'm sorry, but I don't like Kuuga. "I can kick the sun!" Meh.

heh we should end this poll early, no way is skull going to come back from this onesided onslaught

Style can only get you so far...Skull, here is the line...

I know my viewpoint will probably lose. I know that this is probably just going to be a laughable last stand. But you know what? Skull will win. How? Well…

I don't know. However, it is a possibility (at least a one out of infinity). I guess he could run Yuusuke over with the SkullGarry before he could henshin.

Doesn't that mean it's just as likely he left the Skull memory in his other jacket and thus can't transform at all? :lol

I did say it was laughable…

Oh my gosh, I'm not being stubborn. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!! I'M USING A SEMI-LUDICROUS AMOUNT OF EXCLAMATION MARKS TO EMPHASIZE MY PERIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skull all the way for me

As cool as Skull is, Kuuga is just stronger.

Kuuga has Growing, Mighty, Dragon, Pegasus, Titan, Rising Mighty, Rising Dragon, Rising Pegasus, Rising Titan, Amazing Mighty and Ultimate Forms. It's no contest.

Kuuga is ahead with 16 votes, Skull has 5!

I don't know man , doubles got some serious game :). I think he might be able to beet skull :p

Okay seriously. Who the hell voted for Skull? Kuuga's a rider who could kick the earth in half. Skull just wears a hat and sings songs about no one being perfect. You know who else did that? Hannah Montana.

Kuuga wins.
