But... this isn't about the alternate Shadow Moon.

That said, I voted for Saga. Yeah I've not watched Black, but that doesn't mean I'm completely oblivious to the character. It also seems to me like a lot of you are voting just because he's a fan favorite. Just because he's a Show character doesn't make it any less a little hypocritical, no?

They're both competent fighters, that much I'm aware of. Saga was always strong, was always capable too. I think this would actually be a pretty good match. But his versatility (in large part due to how many different things the Jacorder can do to counter mere swords) leads me to believe he'd win.

This will probably start a continuity argument, but Kamen Rider World happened. Shadow Moon in this is a resurrected Shadow Moon from Black and Black RX (short even shows scenes from Black RX), thus making it THE Shadow Moon. In Kamen Rider World Shadow Moon becomes the size of a Megazord. Shadow Moon can just step on Saga.

If not for that, I'd say they're pretty evenly matched. Think Shadow Moon still gets the advantage for variety in attacks. It would be close battle eitherway.

PS Also, I doubt it's a good idea to turn day to night for your finisher when you're fighting a guy with "Moon" in his name.

That's the only Moon I know, and OOO said give a reason. So... I gave my reason.

Shadow Moon moves onto the tournament!

KamenRiderOOO · 08-16-2012, 11:14 AM

This battle is against two former contenders, who didn't make the cut in the last two tournaments!

Kamen Rider Amazon (1974)

VS

Kamen Rider Fourze (2012)

Fact time!
Amazon:

An animalistic beserker, whose body is biologicaly altered rather than cybernetically
Powered by Incan magic
Does damage by scratching and bitting
Dai Setsudan: Amazon's main finishing move. He leaps into the air and comes back down with his claws, slicing into the opponent, normally inflicting grievous, fatal damage to the target.
Super Dai Setsudan: A stronger energized version of the Dai Setsudan as a result of combining both GiGi and GaGa Armlets to behead Emperor Zero.
Jaguar Shock: A biting attack.
Monkey Attack
Amazon Kick: Used in a similar manner to Kamen Rider's Rider Kick. Rarely used and one of Amazon's few attacks in the original series that would result in his opponent exploding instead of simply mortally wounding them.
Spin Kick: An attack developed to counter the signature move of Gama Beastman.
His belt, the Condorer, contains a grappling hook
Has skills when in a jungle environment
Weaknesses/disadvantages- May not be able to keep up with modern technology

Fourze:

Has 7 other "States" (Elec, Fire, Rocket, Magnet, Rocket Drill, Cosmic, Meteor Fusion)
Has access to 40 different Astro Switches, giving him multiple powers
Elec States holds Billy The Rod as his weapon, a lightning rod like module with multiple electrical abilities when plugged into its other sockets- The left socket energizes the blade, electrifying anything it hits for extra damage. The top socket energizes the blade, but it fires energy slashes when swung, allowing for ranged attacks. The right socket, when the blade is swung, sends three pulses of electricity to immobilize a Zodiarts.
Fire States wields the Hee-Hack Gun, a flamethrower/extinguisher weapon. It also is able to absorb fire to increase Fourze's power.
Rocket States can fly faster due to the Double Rocket Modules.
Magnet States is like a tank, with the NS Magnet Cannons on his shoulders, which can crush steel foes
Rocket Drill States combines the Rocket and Drill Modules into one on his right arm.
Most Powerful Form- Cosmic (TV), Meteor Fusion (Movie)
Cosmic States combines the powers of all 40 switches, and arms Forze with the Barizun Sword. He is able to combine the powers of his switches (i.e. Freeze and Launcher to create freezing missiles)
Meteor Fusion States combines Fourze and Meteor's powers, arming him with the Meteor Galaxy and the Barizun Sword.
Rides the Machine Massigler, which can launch into the air with help from
The Power Dizer, an independent support vehicle that assists Fourze in Tower Mode, Vehicle Mode and it's Robot Mode.
Weakness: The bonds between him and his friends are needed to support Cosmic States, if they aren't on the same dimensional plane he is or if they break their bonds, his ability to maintain Cosmic States weakens, ejecting his switches. Magnet States is slower.

This battle closes Saturday!

AAAAA. MAAAA. ZOOON!!!
Also, Fourze is technically from 2011.

ComicGuy89 · 08-16-2012, 11:21 AM

Voting for the first time for my current favorite Rider, Fourze! Amazon would probably win in a hand-to-hand battle, but Fourze has those switches, so it's hard to say.

ZeoRangerV · 08-16-2012, 11:25 AM

Oh god, these are two of my favourites so its really hard to choose. Fourze has far more at his disposal, but probably couldn't stand up to Amazon's savagery. I really need to think about this before I vote.

Switchblade · 08-16-2012, 11:42 AM

Going with Amazon. Fourze has all those cool switches (and the even greater number of lame ones), but it's going to be pretty hard to use them after his arms are torn off.
