Hm...I'm going to have to go with Knight. He can win, but it won't be easy for him. Trick Vent and Dark Wing assist should be able to wear down Kuuga enough for him to win(yes, I know this sounds hypocritical because I badmouthed DiEnd's tricks, but Knight is more skilled with his Vent cards IMO). And hell, Knight beat Odin. If you can take down a guy who fucks with time and is designed to be uberly powerful as a tournament owner pawn in the contest, I think he could last against Kuuga.

What do you people not understand about the concept that Knight's the goshdarn Batman?

Wasn't Odin goading Knight to kill him at the time?

Actually no. When Knight fought Odin at that time it was only because Knight forced the battle to happen. Odin had on intention of fighting him because he was only meant to fight the last rider, the winner of the battle. It was a complete shock when Knight won because even Odin didn't expect Ren to be able to kill. I think that says alot about Ren, the mental anguish he went through after that battle was immense.

I'm just going to go with Kuuga. I don't think I voted for Knight in the previous polls either.

I'm voting Kuuga. He seems to have a lot more going for him in terms of power.

And the winner of the tournament is...

These 3 will proceed into the "Rider of The Year" tournament at the end of the month!

Now I just want to know who all lost due to popularity power of their opponents :lol

Kiva
Double
Blade
Fourze
Amazon
Super-1
Agito
Caucasus
DiEnd

These guys, who'll be given another chance to compete in upcoming tournaments

I understand that Double lost, but he lost because of his opponent being more popular?
Which was that one? Who could possibly be more popular than Double? :lol

was ooo even in this fight?

Double was in the battle with Kuuga and Kiva, so you see what happened there XD

OOO got 1st place in the 1st rider tournament, so he'll be against all the other 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place riders in the rider of the year tournament in December

You.. planned this out very throughorly xD

Now whatever could you mean? :o

Yeah, but at least he won. Results of the first tournament-
1st: OOO
2nd: Decade
3rd: Kabuto

how did kabuto get third yet caucasas lost to agito!

that still doesnt answer my question of y caucasas lost, how is diend faster than hyper freaking clock up

Kamen Rider Similarities Battle Round 21: "Dark" Counterparts
 

With Kuuga, Knight and Skull securing their places in the Rider of the Year Tournament, it's time to start our next set of battles!

To start, we'll have two riders, who are the "Dark" Counterparts of two heroes. The riders picked, actually have Dark in their names

Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto (Kamen Rider Kabuto, 2006)

VS

Kamen Rider Dark Kiva (Kamen Rider Kiva, 2008)

These two are the originals, not the AR Versions. Meaning this is Souji Kusakabe VS King, the first Dark Kiva.

Rider facts!
Dark Kabuto:

• When first transforming, Zecter can defend Dark Kabuto, Masked form armor can be ejected and cause damage
• Can Clock Up- allowing him to move faster than the eye can see
• Wields the ZECT Kunai Gun: A versatile weapon with 3 distinctive modes: Ax, Gun and Kunai Mode. “Ax Mode” becomes active when the gun barrel is held, and using the bladed butt of the weapon like a tomahawk; AVALANCHE BREAK can be performed in this mode. “Gun Mode“, the default mode, fires high-intensity ion beam blasts and is equipped with tri-laser targeting; AVALANCHE SHOT can be performed in this mode. “Kunai Mode” activates when the gun barrel is detached, unsheathing a short-dagger weapon good for its swift and easy handling; favored most when Dark Kabuto switches to Rider Form; AVALANCHE SLASH can be used in this mode.
• Weakness- Requires the Zecter to henshin. If incapacitated, can't transform. Is a bit innocent, and was a human turned into a Native worm.

Dark Kiva

• As Dark Kiva, the King has access to a unlimited potential of power that is hindered within his successor such as telekinesis and the use of the Kiva insignia as a weapon.
• The Dark Kivat Belt is the King's means of transforming into Dark Kiva. Similar to how Kiva transforms, the King has Kivat-bat the 2nd bite him, and then perch upside down on the Power Roost of the belt's Dark Kibuckle to complete the transformation, separating from the belt when certain conditions demand for it like Fuestle-blowing. The Dark Kivat Belt also has six Fueslots to hold the six Fuestles.
• Kivat-Bat the 2nd can support him by attacking before he henshins.
• Has two seen finishers- Darkness Hell Crash: Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up One," the Darkness Hell Crash is a punch with the force of 65t. When performed, day turns into night with blood red fog. Dark Kiva then does a flying punch with his right arm. King's Burst End: Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up Two," the King's Burst End is an Emperor Moon Break-style kick with the force of 180t and green energy blades.
• Wields the Zanvat Sword.
• Can assume the form of the Bat Fangire.
• Weakness- As a Fangire, he can be shattered. Kivat-Bat the 2nd sometimes disagrees with him.

This battle closes Friday!

Hint to next battle: Too many people use it.

as much i as i love dark kabuto, he doesnt much fight to kill so dark kiva would definetly win

No Ryuga? :(

Oh well, I'm going with Dark Kiva on this one. Dark Kabuto never really did much and in most ways he's just a pale reflection of Tendou. Dark Kiva, on the other hand, is a total beast. Assuming this is Dark Kiva at full power (Fangire King with Zanvat Sword, fapless version), he'd school Dark Kabuto faster than you can say "sister complex." :p

If I remember, general consensus was Diend would steal the Hyper Zector and then run away and let the other two finish each other off. Hyper Clock Up isn't going to make Kaito not invisible.

Gotta go with Dark Kiva on this one. I don't remember Dark Kabuto doing anything of note in the series. And yeah, what about Ryuga? (not that I think he could beat Dark Kiva, but still.) Plus there's Nega-Den-O or whatever the hell his name was.

Dark Kabuto is competent but Dark Kiva would just murder him if Kiva the 2nd is working well with him. He's a Fangire, he can kick a crater into the ground PLUS he is lacking in mercy. This isn't a battle, it's a slaughter.

Don't worry about Ryuga, he'll fight in the battle "Year of The Dragon" (gonna be #23, since I already had #22 ready)

Also, this battle is for riders with "Dark" in their names lol

DARK KIVA!

No matter what version of him this is (King, Otoya, Taiga) he was entirely too powerful for Dark Kabuto to beat. Even with clock up this is hands down a Dark Kiva victory.

-Access to the same powers as Kiva (i.e. Bashaa, Garuru, Dogga)
-Wake Up One and Two are beastly
-he can create that forcefield Kiva emblem that entraps an enemy
-Taiga as Dark Kiva even has access to his Saga Jacorder which whoops all kinds of ass

This is hands down a Dark Kiva victory. Even if Ryuga was a part of this battle (which he should be by the way) Dark Kiva would still win. Any version of that character is a total badass.

Kiiiva kiiiva kiiiva KIIIIVA

I know very little of either, but I know that Dark Kiva is a beast so that's where my vote is going.

I love ya, but I gotta go with Dark Kiva this time.

all dark kiva needs is his telekinesis to hold dark kabuto in place

Dark Kiva all the way. Any user of Kivat the 2nd is way better suited for combat than that pathetic Tendou knock off, especially King.

I went with Kabuto not realizing it was actually Dark Kabuto.

Dark Kiva's going to win this anyway so one more vote for Dark Kabuto isn't going to change D Kiva's chances of winning.

Proceeding onto the next tournament is Dark Kiva!

Kamen Rider Similarities Battle Round 22: That System Really Gets Around...
 

And onto the battle of secondary/extra Kamen Riders that have had multiple users of their systems.

VS

Kamen Rider TheBee [User for battle: Masato Mishima](Kamen Rider Kabuto, 2006)

VS

VS

Kamen Rider Birth [User for battle: Shintaro Gotou](Kamen Rider OOO, 2011)

And now for facts:
Delta:

• Full Metal Lung: The chest armor of the Rider provides the most protection, being able to withstand light Anti-tank weaponry.
• Global Feeler: Can communicate with Smart Brain through it.
• Photon Blood: A glowing substance that provides all of the Rider’s powers and generates all of the physical features of the armor. The Photon Blood is generated from the Delta Driver.
• Photon Streams: The path that the Photon Blood travels through the Rider’s armor. Delta's is blue during transformation, then white after transformation has finished.
• Photon Terminals: Where the Photon Streams connect with the gauntlets and greaves.
• Sol Foam/Metal: Soft parts of the armor are made of Sol Foam, and the hard parts are made of Sol Metal. This substance is generated by the Delta Driver to form complex machinery that is powered by Photon Blood.
• Ultimate Finder: The large eyepieces of the Rider give them incredible vision. They can see in darkness with no problems and have a limited amount of x-ray vision.
• Delta Mission Memory: A small metallic card key with the Orga symbol on it. When this device is inserted into the Delta Blaster, it allows it to use an “EXCEED CHARGE."
• SB-333B Delta Driver: A high tech looking belt that generates the photon streams for the Kamen Rider armor. If the belt is removed, the armor disappears. It is the primary storage place for the Delta Mission Memory. Unlike the other gears, the Delta Gear's buckle is fixed into the middle, where the Gear's transgenerator is attached. The henshin device fits into the right hip like a pistol-holster.
• SB-333DV Delta Mover: This digital camcorder is the primary weapon of the Delta Gear. The Delta Phone can be connected to the Delta Mover to create the Delta Blaster, a large pistol that serves as Delta's primary weapon. As the Delta Blaster, it's view screen can act as a long range targeting scope once the mission memory has been inserted. The name 'Mover' is a pun on what the digital camcorder captures: a movie.
• SB-333P Delta Phone: This phone is the control unit of the Delta Gear. The Delta Phone can be connected to the Delta Mover mounted on the hip to create the Delta Blaster. Oddly enough, the Delta phone is not a phone at all, but a gun-handle with a trigger and phone antenna that becomes the handle of the Delta blaster. The design may be inspired on some Walkie-Talkies that have the form of a grip. Whereas the Faiz and Kaixa phones are touch-tone activated, the Delta phone is voice activated; the number commands are input verbally. Unlike the Faiz and Kaixa phones, the Delta Phone serves only as a control device for the Delta Gear and the transgenerator that powers the Gear is actually part of the Delta Driver.
• Rides the SB-VX0 Jet Sliger: A jet-powered combat bike that can fly, spin 360° on the spot, and packs an incredible amount of firepower.
• Weakness- If the Foam or Metal are damaged, the armor switches off and resets itself

TheBee:

• When first transforming, Zecter can defend TheBee, Masked form armor can be ejected and cause damage
• Masato is the strongest TheBee user.
• Can Clock Up- allowing him to move faster than the eye can see
• By pressing the button on TheBee Zecter, TheBee can use the Rider Sting, a tachyon-powered punch is activated, allowing the user to pierce through a Worm with the stinger on the TheBee Zecter.
• Masato can transform into the Gryllus Worm, can outmatch Kabuto and Gatack in battle, and shoot lightning bolts.
• Weakness- Requires the Zecter to henshin. As a Worm, he can be destroyed. Destroying the shoulder protrusions in his Worm form can severely weaken him.

IXA:

• The Ixa Knuckle serves as his transformation device and becomes the Broken Fang with the use of the Knuckle Fuestle, where the Ixa Knuckle charges up and releases a spreading burst of heat energy on the target, leaving the Fangire in the fragile state without the Knuckle coming in contact with the target. This burst of energy can also take the form of a sphere that flies into the target. When used without the Knuckle Fuestle, even while not transformed into Ixa, the user can use a much weaker but still effective version of the Broken Fang. When the user pushes the knuckle into another part of their body, it announces "Ready". Unlike most devices with electronic voices in the franchise, the Ixa Knuckle says its phrases one character/syllable at a time. In the 2008 storyline, it undergoes an upgrade from Ver.X to Ver.XI.
• Ixa's weapon is known as the Ixa Calibur which has a Gun Mode and a sword-like Calibur Mode. While in Calibur Mode and after using the Calibur Fuestle, the Ixa Calibur can perform its Rider Slash finisher known as the Ixa Judgement, where Calibur Mode is charged, showing the sun (instead of the moon in Kiva's case), blinding the target before Ixa hits with a powerful slash. While Ixa is in Rising Ixa mode, the Ixa Calibur can perform Ixa Judgement without the use of the Calibur Fuestle, performed in a forward-flipping slash.
• Rides the IXAlion motorcycle.
• Can summon the Powered Ixer, Ixa's mechanical dragon developed by the Wonderful Blue Sky Organization as a means to combat a Sabbat, and Kiva's Castle Doran. Piloted by Ixa, the Ixer's mouth functions as a robotic arm to either fling Sabbats and Castle Doran around or like a catapult to launch orbs at an enemy. Although only half as large as Castle Doran, it has proven to be both a formidable ally and nuisance to it. The arm can also propel Ixa towards a Sabbat, enabling him to perform a high speed Rider Kick.
• Most Powerful form: Rising IXA
• As Rising IXA, he wields the Ixariser, a cellphone-like gun weapon that detaches from Ixa's mouth piece, allowing him to transform into Rising Ixa along with the new Ixa Knuckle Ver.XI. By inputting several numeric codes known as Ixariser Blast Commands, Rising Ixa accesses multiple modes of the Ixariser. In its gun mode, accessed by inserting a fuestle into the fuestle slot on the back and rotating the slot around the side to become the handle, the Ixariser has massive recoil. The Ixariser is no longer necessary to transform into Rising Ixa as the feature is now available within the Ixa Knuckle, but it is still effective as a sidearm.
• Weakness- The Knuckle is necessary to transform, it could easily get knocked out of his hand if he uses it during an attack. A bit OCD over his button collection.

Birth:

• Wields the Birth Buster, a firearm powered by Cell Medals.
• Assisted by the Gorilla and Torikera Candroids, who can help him reload his Birth Buster.
• Can access the Birth Claws- A system of weapons that come out of his Receptacle Orbs.
• Drill Arm- A drill placed on his right arm, allowing him to use the powerful drill to take Cell Medals out of Yummy. The Drill Arm can also be combined with the Crane Arm by activating both simultaneously, allowing Birth to use it as a powerful ranged attack.
• Crane Arm- A a powerful winch attachment that is contained in the Receptacle Orb on Kamen Rider Birth's right shoulder. The winch allows him to scale buildings as well as collecting any leftover Cell Medals with one sweep. As a weapon, it can be used as a whip to damage opponents from far.
• Breast Cannon- A powerful energy cannon that is held in the Receptacle Orb on Kamen Rider Birth's chest. Due to its size, using it hinders Kamen Rider Birth's mobility. The cannon can be charged up to multiple levels of power by using additional Cell Medals.
• Caterpillar Leg- Held in Receptacle Orbs on Kamen Rider Birth's legs, and allow him to move easily over tough terrain and execute heavy kicks and grind on opponents using its tracks.
• Shovel Arm- Held in the Receptacle Orb on Kamen Rider Birth's left forearm, increasing his power to where he can lift Yummy off of the ground with it.
• Cutter Wing- Held in the Receptacle Orb on Kamen Rider Birth's back, allowing him to fly. The unit can also magnetically collect Cell Medals by flying over them. It can also be used as an oversized boomerang.
• Birth Day- When all six Birth CLAWs units are summoned and attached to Kamen Rider Birth. Costing six Cell Medals, it is extremely risky when Kamen Rider Birth activates this combination on his own, and requires Kamen Rider OOO to back him up. In Birth Day form can also perform an powerful attack called the Cell Bash, where the Breast Cannon fires an powerful energy blast without the expenditure of any Cell Medals.
• CLAWS Sasori- When the six Birth CLAWs unites combine, they create the CLAWs Sasori, an autonomous scorpion-like assault droid which has its master server and network connection installed in the Birth Helmood allowing whatever move Birth makes for the droid to do the same. It requires 1000 Cell Medals to be summoned. It is powerful enough to easily overpower even an enhanced Greeed where as Birth alone is powerless against. If the CLAWs Sasori is attacked it can seperate its pieces then reassemble themselves. Its finishing attack is shooting energy beams from all of the Birth CLAWs that colored based on the color of the CLAWs.
• Goto studied the Birth Manual, knowing how to use its powers to full effect and can disable some of its protocols (example: the self-destruct function.)
• Weakness- The Birth Armor can't withstand powerful attacks from the Greeed.

Choose your top two! This battle closes Sunday!

Hint to next battle: This was celebrated this year by Asian Countries.

DATE WILL CONCOR ALL !!!!! Plus he's the coolest of the bunch lol

There's a problem dude, it's Goto in the Birth suit XD. Date will be in a later battle as Birth Prototype lol

Grrr. I hate my lack of seeing that many Rider series.

Birth. Has to be Birth. You know why? Nature proves adaptabilty wins overall. And one thing Birth can do is adapt to any given situation, with multiple weapons/modules. Alot of the other Riders are just straight power.

Yeah Gotou is Birth all the way. I never could stand Date like other people. I know I don't love him to death like very other OOO fan does. I like him better as Proto-Birth.

My 2 votes on this one are Ixa and Birth. Ixa has access to Rising form which is incredibly powerful as we saw when he defeated Bishop. And Birth has access to the Birth Claws, which the first time Gotou used them he absolutely stomped multiple Greed at one time.
