If you noticed from the last battle, I post these bi-weekly. Due to family circumstances I have not been able to write the article, so instead of it coming out next Thursday as scheduled, it'll be out on Saturday

No worries, I hope everything is alright. I can't wait for the next one. =)

I'll leave this here in the mean time:

Ixa vs. G3? Interesting.

Just from looking at the difference in abilities for both riders, it is pretty clear to see that Drive would win, potentially Accel could keep up with Drive type Formula if he used the Trials memory, the problem here is Trial has a limit in how long it can keep its speed up while formula would be at high speed all the time.

Drive could however just go into type Tridoron and switch control to Krim to use a computers way of thinking and problem solving if needed, essentially Accel would be dominated.

I also believe just type Speed could potentially beat Accel, even with the use of Trial.

Add the fact that potentially even Drive could perform a slowdown effect (( hinted to and pretty much said by Mach at one point since their abilities come from the same research and parts that created the Roidmudes )), and Accel is just out of his league in this situation.

I doubt the majority think much about this though, I have to agree with Kiwami that people are likely voting more based on what character they like better.

I think its also based more on them thinking of the abilities that are NOT listed. This isn't meant to be a battle based on their full abilities, but only on the ones listed.

Even then, it is technically a 2v1 situation since Drive is in some ways a two in one rider to an extent.

The Tridoron is also listed so Accel would be fighting two people at once, both with serious fire power and speed abilities to counter him, meanwhile Accel's extras while they do have an AI, they are at a disadvantage.

If both are in their standard form Drive would clearly have the speed advantage anyways.

It gets a bit worse when we factor in the Shift Cars who also have their own AI and even personalities.
Their attacks are nothing to scoff at either having even smashed trough Roidmudes at times in the show.

Accel Gunner while quite powerful in its own right, is also damn slow (( taking in mind its use in the series here )), the Tridoron even in its base form has taken attacks far stronger than what I recall the Gunner is capable off and managed.

Well the whole popularity-thing isn’t a problem anymore since we only count the votes of registered users, and even though some of them vote for sympathy (not that it's a bad thing, it's just not the goal of this poll) most of us think this through.

And in this state I honestly don't care who wins, I think having fun discussing the match-ups is what this is all about and after we had the talk with how to fix the voting process I think this is actually the case now, at least I'm having fun.

I'll be honest though, even if OOO explains very well what arsenal and powers the Riders have, I feel kinda lost when a Rider come sup from a show I haven't watched. That seems to be the case next week again, but I promise I won't auto-vote G3 just because I'm a huge Agito-fanboy :lol

Now this is the kind of assessment I like :lol. But seriously, your analysis is the kind that I wanna see in these threads. Everyone keeps going for every possibility the rider has, but I'm trying to set it up to be their most basic gear. While people argue that Technique and Wild should be usable in the battle due to the uses of the Handle Ken and the Door-Ju, people are forgetting the weapons aren't form specific and can be used by any Type Drive assumes; those two types are just able to use the weapons "better."

I think you'll like the match next week...that is if I write G3's part of the article correctly :lol.

The winner is Kamen Rider Drive. Sorry for the delay, family circumstances came up. The next battle will be up later today

EDIT:

Will be up tomorrow instead, got called over to help out family again.
