Quick Question...could the candroids distract Tendou long enough for Eiji to switch medals? You know, by making Kabuto unable to Clock Up. Do they even count in these battles??

Probably not. He literally just has to smack the side of his belt. Unless somebody was physically restraining his arms it would be pretty hard to keep Tendou from Clocking Up. A few little bots buzzing around him isn't going to do that.

I don't remember the candroids doing anything that could be remotely distracting to Kabuto. But it's also been a long time since I watched OOO.

Technically, yes, OOO has the Candroids.
However, the only one that is mildly offensive is the Ptera one, and those were never dispensed by a Ridevendor. They pretty much seemed to be Maki's personal candroids.
The Tora one maybe, but that requires him to be using LaToraTah.
And I don't think Gorilla and Tricera chucking cell medals at Kabuto would really distract him :lol

If they keep hitting this face, it could get annoying...

I have a hilarious idea of how Eiji can counter-troll Tendou. He could blow up his RideVendor, confusing Tendou as to why he would do that, then all the Candroids could fly out and when Tendou reaches up for the Zecter/Hyper Zecter, he grabs a Candroid by mistake :lol

OR, he could troll Kabuto into thinking that he's taking his Cores when it's revealed he was about to put Cell Medals in instead :lol

hmmm...there is one thing about Kabuto we haven't mentioned this whole time that may give him an edge...not his offensive ability...but his DEFENSIVE. OOOs could rush him with the gorilla arms, but Tendo could cast ON, go back to rider armor, and pretty much take the beating. Cast off again, use the shrapnel to distract, and just straight Rider Kick.
If he summons the Zechters for the perfect Zechter they also can act as interference, much like Shotaro with his stag phone.
Finally, this is really going to nit pick from the show...BUT he also has that weapon that launches a SWARM of explosive mini beetles. 100 OOOs clones? 1000 little flying seek and destroy bombs.
and the final option...Tendo just makes the perfect ice cream bar and Ank falls head over heel in love with it, and makes OOOs surrender...

yea also OOO has clock up covered by latortah

That would be the GREATEST way for this match to end :lol

coming from you sir...one of the greatest compliments I have ever gotten on this forum...

It's a Kamen Rider crossover. I would expect no less :p

This is when the elaborate belts pose a huge problem for the user. Kabuto would already be transformed and casting off by the time OOO can scan his first medals. By the time OOOs is fully transformed, Kabuto is already Clocked Up and beating the shit out of OOO. Game, set, match. Winner: Kabuto.

ok so we got OOO's and his abilities we got kabuto and his. um me i am in the middle use clock up is in effect but remember there has been times when eji could not use tatoba. while with me i think he would use the chest medal of shotah combo fire water at Tendoh then also electrocuted him with his whips and then scan charge him. putting Tendo in loose situation and well loose.

That relies ENTIRELY on Kabuto literally standing still and letting Eiji do this...

That's a good point: Kabuto could totally grab the scanner while Clocker Up, too. :lol

I love how people seem to forget that in this fight, OOO does have at least 1 copy of the Purple Cores, so when Tendou approaches him and tries to grab the scanner/medals, the Purple Cores would fly out and at least protect Eiji.

The Purple cores aren't inside him anymore, I thought.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they aren't either.

Oh yeah, my bad. But they could act up, they do have their own sentience.

So is that how things are going to go now? Whoever transforms faster is the winner rather than going by the statistics? Oh geez, as if the popularity wasn't a problem already. Now the Kabuto Riders and DiEnd are going to be unstoppable :lol.

OOO(TC) has them listed for OOO(character), so they are fair game in this battle.

I'm not disputing that OOO has the medals, I'm disputing the possibility that they'll fly out and protect him since they aren't inside of him anymore.

No, what I'm meaning is that they aren't physically inside him.
Why is this important?
Because he doesn't have that little defense anymore. They're still usable, but they're not going to fly out and block crap for him.

Given that the riders would actually want to fight, I would assume that they would fight honorably and give it their all, because that's what warriors do. They tend not to use dirty tricks. So I don't think transformation times and junk like that would factor in as heavily as some people are making it.

And then the whole trinket transformation thing. I've always operated under the assumption that the switching of trinkets was purely for dramatic effect and selling of the gimmick for merchandise purposes. So in reality, any required time would be negligible.
Besides, if enemies are always giving them time to switch, if these battles were actually produced and televised and stuff, what's to say riders would not give each other that same courtesy? It goes with the whole fighting with the best ability thing.

That being said, I really like Kabuto even though I have yet to see the show, but my vote goes to OOO. I could just imagine Eiji combo spamming a la the Gokaiger's Gokai Change-a-thon(and they seem to be able to change seamlessly despite needing keys and a bulky phone changer[goes with my negligible change time argument]) and using all sorts of various attacks against Tendou's martial arts.

When you're fighting someone who can go at insane speeds, it matters how fast you can activate your powers to counter it. DiEnd isn't that fast once transformed.

Like Tendou would ever do that. :lol

See, this is why I wish I had already watched Kabuto at this point. Tendou sounds like a fun character.

you haven't seen Faiz have you...them belts DO fall off!

Oh Faiz, this is what people remember you for. :lol

My comment on DiEnd was more refering to a comment I vaugely remember from the Episode Yellow battle, where someone said DiEnd would try to steal the Hyper Zector. And then there was the time he stopped Onodera from transforming by sticking his gun in his face.

This isn't about Riders dropping belts, it's about beating the crap out of each other :lol.

I've thought about this some more. And I still think OOO wins this, but an added challenge is a smart use of Clock Up. Eiji goes to switch coins, Tendou hits Clock Up, and steals one. Or switches one coin for another comepletely throwing him off.

And then Kabuto takes the scanner, making OOO unable to transform again. Kabuto would still win this.

Edit: I originally said Ankh might trick Tendou into trolling him as a distraction. But I don't see Tendou falling for something that stupidly obvious. Tendou is a massive troll but he also isn't an idiot. Now I don't know again. I think now maybe Kabuto might pull this off.

Wow. Is Ankh that cool of a guy to serve as troll bait? :lol
But either way, I don't think Ankh is in this battle, since he doesn't pertain to the Rider's abilities.

Yea, I edited my post :lol I dont see Ten being that stupid to fall for a ploy that obvious. He's a troll, not a moron.

Kabuto Vs OOO....Id have to say Kabuto would win due to his skills as a fighter. OOO fighting style was vary clumsy and often he misses with his big attacks OOO's only rider whose rider kick never really connected with an opponent. that said it would be a really good fight I imagine OOO would be able to hold of Kabuto even in clock up thanks to the cheetah medals speed and the unagi medal tentacles but when it came down to it Kabuto would just get in more damage to OOO and Kabuto would get the killing blow with the Hyper Rider kick. Sorry OOO but Kabuto wins in my mind

fixed that for ya

Now who's trolling? :p

no one, im making posts factual

Fixed that for ya. :D

there

can we get back on topic, ooo can just go straight into latoratah before tatoba, so they are on equal levels. cause when he is in the same speed, he can just take the hyper away through some fancy shine bright light in his face (lion for you people who dont memorize ooo :mad:

I know the rules don't say OOO has to start in TaToBa form, but I think it's kind of cheating to say that OOO is already in a combo form when nine times out of ten he always starts with TaToBa.

Also, Hyper Zecter. RaToraTah isn't that fast. :p
