Rider Of The Year Tournament 2012 Discussion

KamenRiderOOO · 08-04-2012, 09:18 PM

Well, Skull is currently in the lead with 15, while DiEnd has 5

Matrixbeast · 08-04-2012, 10:28 PM

So, when Diend is against Caucasus (Who can slow time to the point that it's perceived as "Stopped" to someone in Clock Up) and Agito (Who can just rip Diend a new one), Diend gains the magic ability to summon an army of Riders to do his bidding and he's untouchable.
When he goes up against a guy in a hat, he's suddenly a pansy?
*Sighs*

It's late justice. If the last round was a one on one battle, Caucasus would've won because most/all the Agito votes would've gone to him.

Well yeah. Again, in almost any 3 way battle I'd give him the advantage simply because he'd allow his opponents to defeat each other or at least weaken each other to the point that he could take them out easily. I think we can all agree that he's a sneaky bastard and that 3way+ battles are his strong suit. In ANY type of one on one battle I'd pick Diend's opponent simply because his tactics are entirely based around "fighting" more than one enemy.

Personally, I'd like to believe people are learning the error of their ways

. Seriously though, he should have never made it past that fight. DiEnd might have some tricks up his sleeve, but a competent Rider(IOWs, the non-AU ones) should be able to handle them. And honestly, Kaito's probably going to bail in ANY of these fights because their is no treasure in it for him.

Oh come on, be fair. Who were some other anniversary Riders? Let's see, the 35th anniversary was... oh. Kabuto. Well, um...

Seriously, though, Agito and OOO both disprove your theory pretty easily.

Can't argue Agito, but he did hold off Kabuto (or was it TheBee) in Clock Up by summoning Psyga and IXA, giving us such gems as "Please return it to the life and the god", and "It's showtime! Let's enjoy! Yahoowahahahha", in what was possibly the most painful scene in Kamen Rider history.

Well, I was talking about explicitly anniversary-themed riders... so Diend and Decade. And technically Gokaiger because of the OOO ranger keys, but that's a whole other can of worms. Kabuto pun intended.

KamenRiderOOO · 08-05-2012, 02:35 PM

Well, with 15 Votes, Skull is in 3rd place and will proceed to the "Rider Of The Year" tournament in December.

KamenRiderOOO · 08-05-2012, 02:39 PM

It's time for the finals, these two riders now face off!

Kamen Rider Kuuga (2000)
VS

Kamen Rider Knight (Kamen Rider Ryuki, 2002)

Stats for our competitors!
Kuuga:

Wears the Arcle, giving him access to 14 different forms. The belt also has fused with him, making it impossible to remove from him without killing him.
His 4 standard forms are Mighty, Dragon, Pegasus and Titan.
Mighty is a balanced fighter.
Dragon is an azure form that allows Kuuga to be more agile and quicker, although his physical strength is lower than Mighty Form, Dragon Form enables Kuuga to and jump quickly in order to pursue the enemy. However, it also gives Kuuga less protection, yet being better suited for quick movements and more jump power. To make up for the lack of strength, he uses the Dragon Rod staff as his weapon, created by using any pole or stick-like object to manifest it. His finishing move in this form is Splash Dragon, an aerial thrust attack to the torso.
Pegasus is a green shooting form where Kuuga's senses are heightened to extreme, superhuman levels, enabling him to see, hit and hear his opponents with deadly precision. It also allows Kuuga to detect the enemy's position, despite whatever ability they may have to avoid detection. The downside to this is that it can not be sustained for too long because of the enormous strain placed on the nervous system from over stimulation (only 50 seconds), and if Kuuga exceeds this limit, he shall be knocked back into Growing Form and become unable to transform for two hours. Kuuga uses the Pegasus Bowgun- a crossbow/gun hybrid weapon that can be created out of any gun-like object, commonly Ichijo's hand gun. His finishing move with the bow gun is "Blast Pegasus", an arrow shot from the bowgun after pulling the hammer back to the fullest length.
Titan is a purple herculean form where his defense is greatly increased, allowing him to withstand most of his opponents' attacks long enough to get in close range, despite sacrificing speed. This form has much larger armor that is mainly silver with large purple trims. Although this armor provides superior protection, it still leaves parts of his body exposed, thus making him still suspectible to damage. He uses the Titan Sword that can be created out of pole or stick-like objects, normally the control handle of his bike. His finishing move is "Calamity Titan", a powerful sword thrust wherein Kuuga twists the blade as it is impaled.
Each of those forms can be further enhanced into Rising forms, adding golden trim and enhancing their weapons.
Can turn into Amazing Mighty Form, giving him a lot more power.
Most Powerful Form: Ultimate.
His most dangerous form, Ultimate Form combines all the powers of the other forms, Ultmate Kuuga has a much different design colored black with gold (and a little silver) trims all over his body, as well as having five horns on the headcrest, a black belt core and spiky-looking armor. Originally a risk is that the user would lose control and become like Daguba, a monster bent on killing everything in its way. However, due to Godai's gentle nature, he retains his will as he uses the new form against Daguba, retaining the red eye color of Mighty Form as opposed to the original black eyed color. When in battle, Ultimate Kuuga is able to see a monster's human form, every single attack from Kuuga Ultimate causes his opponent to bleed, despite the enemy's powerful armor.
This form can also utilize the same powers as Daguba including Pyrokinesis.
Is assisted by the Gouram, which can combine with his motorcycle, the BeatChaser 2000, which can become the BeatGouram. The Gouram can attack opponents too.
Weaknesses- His kindhearted nature may cause him to hold back against opponents. If he is seriously injured, he will turn into Growing Form and not be able to transform for two hours.

Knight:

Can travel through the mirror world
Can summon Darkwing, his contract monster
Wields the Nasty, Guard, Strange, Shoot, Blast, Trick and Sword Vent cards
Most Powerful Form- Knight Survive
Survive is Knight's ultimate form, assumed by using the power of Survive Shippu. In this form, Knight's Rider Visor transforms into an arm-mounted scabbard called Dark Visor-Zwei, which could transform into either Dark Arrow or the Dark Shield. His Final Vent is Shippudan, riding Darkraider as it turns into a missile to run through their opponent.
In Survive Form, Darkwing becomes Darkraider which in turn can become a motorcycle.
Weakness- Without his Contract Card, he'll revert to Blank form, a weak form.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FACTS ABOUT THE RIDERS, AND TAKE THEM INTO CONSIDERATION. PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS JUST A POPULARITY CONTEST.
The finals for the second tournament are now under way!!! This battle closes Wednesday!!!
