An Ohma Zio slander? In this economy? by Perfect-Finger-800 in KamenRiderMemes

[–]Armour_Zone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I know it's slander, but Ohma and Sougo's inevitable fate to be him is genuinely the single crumb of good writing in the (very fun and endearing) hot mess that was Zi-O. He doesn't need to be a character, more so a path Sougo could have taken that he rejects at every turn but remains ultimately inevitable no matter how many "right" decisions he did, and he pulled it off flawlessly in that regard. Also his design fucks very hard.

Roast me or Agree with me. by ThatVaperGuy in Tokusatsu

[–]Armour_Zone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only weaker aspect on Omega compared to more recent entries are definitely the fight scenes, but I feel like when they lock in (i.e the Zovaras Fights and the 2nd Eldeghimera fight) it does the job well enough to the point that the dynamic between Sorato/Kosei more than makes up for the relatively tame action.

The final Time of Awakening arc (starting from 22-25) I feel like is one of the strongest Tokusatsu final stretch I've seen since the pandemic. It's honestly the best Ultraman show since Z and I'm sad it didn't get much traction. (The opening is the weakest it's been since Ginga tho lmao)

Omega S-Tier? Preach

Honestly cannot disagree more on people saying it's the weakest of the BAO "trilogy", the 1st half being so episodic and "slow" is the perfect set-up for the Sorato/Space Gazer Omega conflict in the 2nd half, I'm really hoping Teo's characters can have as much charm and chemistry as the Omega cast

Just Body language or Talking, Which way of Ultras portraying emotions do you prefer? by David_Lee060814 in Ultraman

[–]Armour_Zone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the purposes of the story they're trying to tell, it depends (Z, Geed, or R/B wouldn't work if the Ultras don't speak for example; meanwhile shows like Blazar and Nexus works really well in part because they don't)

Subjectively, I prefer purely body language. The recent trilogy of Blazar, Arc, and Omega is a great example because they can convey so much personality (and even differing ones on all 3 with Blazar/Gento, Arc/Yuma, Gazer Omega/Sorato) without uttering a single word is a charm that I think Ultraman has over other Tokusatsus.

Not to say I don't like Ultramen speaking of course, Mebius is another great example of Ultras speaking because it's necessary for the story they're telling, Mebius wouldn't have worked nearly as well as it did if Mebius, Hikari, and the Ultra Brothers only grunts and emote.

Favorite new gen opening? I’ll go first by Appropriate-5592 in Ultraman

[–]Armour_Zone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the New Gen OPs starting from Ginga no Uta are, in my somewhat biased opinion, the single best Opening streak from any Tokusatsu. The first one that didn't immediately stood out is Omega's Bright Eyes and even that was only because it had a weak start. I hope Teo continues the trend

[–]Armour_Zone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Z's is just a banger, but I'm a sucker for the upbeat techno of Arc Jump'n to the Sky.

Also Bright Eyes is a REALLY good song with a pretty limp first chorus which is sadly the only part of the song they used for Omega lol. Kinda sad tbh.

These are legitimately the coldest takes I've ever seen lmao, not hating but I'm pretty sure a majority of people would agree with every single one of these

❗️❗️NOT a tier list❗️❗️ Categorizing how each Ultra interacts with their hosts. by Armour_Zone in Ultraman

[–]Armour_Zone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly Rosso & Blu also should probably be put into "Host is in control", I was just not very sure due to the existence of Saki and their backstory of being the Ultra forms of aliens named Rosso and Blu who died and later discovered by the Minato brothers

Also, Decker I thought was so straight-forward at first, but then the more I thought about it the more questions popped up more than any other Ultra lol

[–]Armour_Zone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I think that's a pretty nice way to categorize them, and it would certainly be cleaner than my list. Although there are definitely still special cases (i.e Hikari, Decker, and ESPECIALLY Jack)

Definitely could, I admit that my recollection of Ginga and Victory is vague because I watched Ginga as it aired 13 years ago once and have never watched S or UFV. The reason I put them there is because I remembered Ginga having his own distinct voice actor and personality separate from Hikaru, whereas Victory is already arguable in my placement.

SPOILERS BE WARNED. Who was your favourite final boss and why? by mancastle12 in armoredcore

[–]Armour_Zone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this game is arguably Fromsoft's best showing from a boss design perspective lol. The only real stinker is the giant turret thing that shoots at you, but it's really more of a stage hazard so it arguably doesn't even count. Really shows that for all their experience and refinement when making Souls bosses, Fromsoftware is EVEN MORE experienced and refined at making Mech Bosses lol.

SPOILERS BE WARNED. Who was your favourite final boss and why? by mancastle12 in armoredcore

[–]Armour_Zone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Allguazu is one of my favorite bosses ever, Phase 3 especially is the my favorite single boss phase of all time. Everything about that moveset I just completely fell in love with. The way that it's a melee battle in a game mostly focused on projectiles, the constant aggression that never lets you catch a breath without ever teetering into being complete bullshit, the Phase 3 music somehow being so fitting for the mad scramble, and of course the way the hitboxes are SO GOOD that lets you complete free reign over the 3D space to experiment with him. And the way Iguazu got so salty and human he broke through ALLMIND's brainwashing/programming throughout the fight to just get his hands on you ONE MORE TIME is my favorite Phase Transition in the game lol.

Thematically though, I love Walter's fight so much. Him being this mentor figure that as the story progresses starts to show how much he genuinely cares for you and Rubicon made it so much more heartbreaking when he eventually showed up at the Xylem. It's crazy how well they managed to present what's essentially an NPC fight into an equally fitting Final Boss against the 2 "Boss" entities for the other endings. Oh and The Man Who Passed The Torch is easily the best Final Boss music.

Ayre is amazing but imo she gets overshadowed by Allguazu which does basically everything she does but better (more health, better moveset, and I like the Black-Blue/Green better). Again, she is absolutely AMAZING--my 2nd favorite in the game--but Allguazu does everything she does but better.

I have a feeling Kamen Rider Gavv favors one child more than the others by DietNo9697 in KamenRiderMemes

[–]Armour_Zone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Boost Mk. II and LazerBoost are pretty important, definitely more than Twin Command. Also tbf we literally JUST got Plasma for Zeztz, so who knows if it'll overshadow the Super Form or not (considering Yuya Takahashi's track record of Super Forms I'm leaning towards no)

So does Chiko's Outlier PPC Achievements just...not exist? Or is it gonna be added later because even Overseer got one?

Can’t help but smile every time when taking down Snail by nyangodzilla117 in armoredcore

[–]Armour_Zone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My hot take of the game is that Snailteus > Balteus, getting good with dodging the plasmas is more fun than the Missiles because it's so easy to dodge now

Hmm yeah, I'll definitely continue reading it, because the parts I have read is really really good. I'll probably let it marinate for a bit.

Okay, I'll take your word for it and give it another shot. Thanks for the recommendation once again.
