I did nothing wrong.

Are Orphenochs dead? I've never seen Faiz.

Thanks, it's been a while since I saw Wizard.

The effects are really nice (the show as a whole has some flashy cgi), but I was referring to the actual kick itself like you said. I don't like how he just jumps straight up and kicks the guy without any sort of forward momentum. Je just extends his foot and taps the enemy.

It's similar to the problem I have with Agito's kick, where he jumps up and inexplicably flies forward without any forward movements. Just looks and feels weird.

You know you have.

Basically.

I wish they would just realize they can just do like...normal kicks? They're not as flashy as "jumping" kicks but they sure as hell would look more natural. With the right effects they could be pretty cool. But they insist on doing awkward non-jumping jumping kicks and yeah, it's weird.

Alternatively, they were already using a lot of wire work in that scene, I don't believe for a second they couldn't figure something better out for the kick. I dunno, it's weird. I liked the effects though.

In the Ghost kick's defense, he can float; he didn't just jump up, he lifted into the air. On top of that, the Ganma was also running towards him so there was no need for any forward momentum in this particular case.

It might have looked weird, but it happened within established grounds unlike most Rider kicks (including Agito's) which defy physics without explanation.

I love the Omega Drive that was awesome, I hope we see it more than Drive's though.

I really liked the kick tbh.

The power in it seems to be coming from the charge up not the actual kick, potentially he just has to make contact for it to be effective, though they
will likely make a lot of high jump physic defying spin kicks etc. to the mix as the series goes on, its kinda a thing for the franchise.

If I recall right one of the first riders did a rider kick on a plane once................While it was flying away............

Yeah that's why I loved it, the enemy just basically ran into it and he just levitated into it rather than jump to do it.

All Rider kicks why they may be similar have their own special touches to them to make them unique.

Plus Kabuto had a simple kick...OK the belt hyped pretty well... It still was just a standing kick

Finally watched it.

Only thought it was just alright. Little rushed, kind of annoyed by some characters (especially that stupid orange ghost, but then I already figured I would be after its appearance in the Drive episode), but not boring or horrible.

Just... alright.

But I'm willing to see where it goes.

Yeah, I watched it finally (subbed) as well. (had a busy week!) It was okay. Far too many obnoxious screaming characters, the pacing is far too fast, the insultingly blunt "mystical verses science" debate between secondaries is stupid (because Ghosts of course don't exist so bringing up real physics alongside your fake Ghost and Rider stuff isn't a good idea) and that puppet is horrible.

That said I like the Ghost design, Takeru is an okay protagonist who's got some good lines but suffers because of the pacing, and having the monsters be individual characters from the outset is nice. The wirework is hilariously bad, though.

Not a great first outing. Everything feels rushed and by the books.

This. I drop Drive because I didn't care for any of the characters expect for Chase. Everyone else is dull. The last Rider show being good before it has nothing to do with it. I still love OOO after W ended and I love W too.
