Maybe I do need to watch W. But from what I saw so far, all anyone as said (For the most part) is how he can turn into a bike. That's useless. I'm very satisfied voting for Meteor over Scooter in this one. And it has alot to visually as well. Scooter is just a matte red, with one of the worst helmet designs freaking ever. While Meteor just looks beauiful. The star pattern, the translucent helmet cover. It all combines to look freaking great. Freaking.

Pretty much this.

Actually, Accel rarely uses the bike form. It was mainly used in his debut to chase down the Ice Age Dopant and he uses the Gunner unit to take down Triceratops. Then we have awesome moments when W rode Accel(it makes sense in context) in a tag team effort to defeat Liar or the time he combined his bike form with the Turbolar unit to battle Terror's dragon. That later example was just awesome, especially since I thought the bike transformation was silly from the early images. Also once he switches over to Trial, the bike transformation is gone because he doesn't need it with super speed, nor does he need it with Booster because that can fly.

But yes, you need to watch W. It's one of the best Heisei Rider shows.

[ZeoRangerV]

It was awesome. That's all that needs to be said about that scene.

[Dairenoh]

I'll go with Meteor since the only time I've seen Accel was in one of the movies where I didn't think he really did that much.

[GrimZata]

Accel is awesome, and as a series, I must say I like W more, but I think as far as fighting goes, Meteor would win this.

[KamenRiderOOO]

Due to the overwhelming amount of votes, this battle is closing early! Meteor takes the last spot of the tournament!

[KamenRiderOOO]

The first battle of the tournament is underway!!!!

Kamen Rider IXA [User for battle: Keisuke Nago](Kamen Rider Kiva, 2008)

VS

Century King Shadow Moon (Kamen Rider Black/Black RX, 1987-1989

VS

Kamen Rider Meteor (Kamen Rider Fourze, 2012)

Our facts!
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.

Shadow Moon:

• Transforms via the KingStone belt, which holds his "Stone of the Moon"
• Wields the Satan Sabre, a long powerful sword
• Wields the Shadow Sabers, twin long swords
• Can use the same attacks as Black
• Can grow to giant size in the crossover movie with ZO and J
• Weakness: Stone of the Moon can be shattered.

Meteor:

• Trained in Jeet Kune Do
• Transforms via the Meteor Driver and Meteor switch, which can link him up to the M Bus satelite.
• Armed with the Meteor Galaxy, which has 3 seperate settings- Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Mars creates a projection of Mars called the Mars Breaker, which can reach a temperature of 1470 degrees F. Jupiter creates a projection called the Jupiter Hammer, giving Meteor sheer strength and a powerful punch. Using Saturn creates a projection of Saturn called Saturn Sorcery, giving him the ability to shoot energy rings
• By placing the Meteor Switch into the Meteor Galaxy, Meteor uses a Limit Break called Starlight Shower, allowing Meteor to rapidly punch his opponent
• Most Powerful Form: Meteor Storm
• As Meteor Storm, Meteor is armed with the Meteor Storm Shaft. When the Meteor Storm switch is placed into the Meteor Storm Shaft, it initiates an attack called Meteor Storm Punisher, where the Storm Topper launches from the staff, absorbing opponent's energy and getting stronger with each strike.
• Can utilize Fourze's Elec and Fire Switches to give his attack elemental properties
• Rides the Meteorstar Rider Machine, which is lighter and faster than Fourze's Massigler.
• Weakness- If the M Bus is destroyed, or if someone shuts it down, Ryuusei can't transform.

Choose! The battle closes Thursday!

[Galvantula]

I'm putting my vote for Shadow Moon. He's proven that he can handle himself with Riders and while Meteor's no slouch in combat he can let his emotions get the best of him during times that call for focus. Also IXA has ego problems up the wazoo and there's no way SM would want to lose to a opponent that dislikes music.

[ZeoRangerV]

Hrm, I'm leaning toward Shadow Moon but I think I'll consider this a bit more before I cast my vote.
