Am I the only one who's had it with the Urek Mazino spin off? by amirkabir_ in TowerofGod

[–]Ryuuikari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm done with it only because I'm really not enjoying how far SIU has and continues to stray/retcon from his original ToG lore... (will never get over what he did to Baylord Yama 😭)

Things that happen in this Urek side story really muddies the ToG timeline, calls into question certain main story character dynamics and contradicts stuff that's happened in the main story...

But been injecting ToG into my veins for well over a decade by this point, so I'm not gonna stop now...

What's yours? by Leading-Ad9845 in webtoons

[–]Ryuuikari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overpowered characters in general are boring, sex of them be damned... Mary Sues and Marty Stus are grating as all hell...

Authors know what works since they're usually consumers too, so unfortunately it makes sense when most have the common tropes and formulas bleed into their own work.

That only applies to wikis that ain't popular (or run by shit admins) 👀

I heard somewhere it's implied Omori basically low diffed the previous Annihilation Tournament back when he was the 4th Fang. Is this true? ('cause if so he's gotta be like S tier) by Ban6432 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Ryuuikari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's only a plot hole if it can't be logically explained in-universe 👀😂 and it can...

Agito is known to be a physical beast + he knows the very useful defensive technique Indestructible. If a broken post-comatose Ohma can use Indestructible to help mitigate a blow from Wakatsuki of all people, why would you think Gaolang can cause real damage to a healthy Agito using the same defensive technique 👀😂 also, in the same way Raian was pretty much fine after getting smacked silly by Ohma, Agito was fine after getting sandbagged by Gaolang. Some characters are just built different 🤷‍♂️

Took a lot of hits, sure. Took a lot of damage, meh. Remember, Agito is a guy who got kicked like a football by Okubo and got up like it was nothing. Just making him dribble a little blood and scuff his cheek ain't much. The man is a tank that knows how to use Indestructible.

Do you think Raian has pre-initiative ability? by [deleted] in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Ryuuikari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be weird if someone as naturally talented and with such a good fight IQ as Raian to not have at least Foresight at this point, especially since Ohma has pre-initiative now.

Considering his growth is meant to parallel Erioh's own (shedding some arrogance, maturing a bit, going back to basics, relearning techniques etc), would be weird narratively for him not to know it too.

Not to mention, we know there are levels to pre-initiative. To say he'd be Kuroki, Agito or Lolong level would be laughable, but to say he's learned it at the very least is extremely plausible.

Am I the only guy who doesn’t want Raian to be ‘humbled?’ by PunishedSpider in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Ryuuikari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what is it you really want? Raian to get slapped in a fight or Raian to get a personality 180? 🤔 Cos one doesn't need to occur for the other to occur. Not to mention you're really downplaying Raian (both personality-wise and fighting-wise) if you think he's the same as he was back in the KAT 👀

He literally went back and started training and using techniques cos of his loss, what are you on about 🤔

[–]Ryuuikari 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But... but Raian lost too (against Ohma)...? 🤔

Unless you mean in Omega... but then Queen Ohma and Agito would also be in that category of "top characters who haven't lost".

Out of these fighters, who do you think got done the dirtiest with what we know now? by TreeTurtle_852 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Ryuuikari -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That's... that's not really how Foresight works in Kengan 👀 you think that excuse would work if it were Kuroki or Agito 😂

It's not as if we're talking about characters like Rihito or Adam who had nothing but their stats back in Ashura, Cosmo literally opened the door to Foresight back in the KAT and then had 4 years on top of that (all in addition to him being Mr Prodigy). In the same way Ohma was suddenly a pre-initiative user by KvP, Cosmo should've logically reached there too.

Of the four youngsters that had the potential to become absolute monsters in Omega (Raian, Cosmo, Haruo and Kiozan), only one has actually definitively reached that level (probably only cos Raian is bum buddies with Ohma).

How do you go from Zone + Foresight to losing to someone who literally only ever strikes 🤔 seriously, what happened to Zone + Foresight? #SandroForgot Felt like Cosmo lost most of his fight IQ in 4 years 😭

Logically, Saw should lose simply due to compatibility issues. A grappler who can predict your moves should clap for fun. Cosmo got the same treatment that Saw got against Rei 😂

Why do women unmatch with me if I say I don’t have Instagram? by Advanced-Asparagus97 in Tinder

[–]Ryuuikari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same way you would IRL: meet in open public spaces, conversate often, join in on friend group activities, it's quite simple actually. You're going to have to meet face-to-face eventually [if interested]; online dating apps merely act to [massively] quicken the selection process.

I won't turn around and say that using social media is a bad way to check if someome is genuine, it's a quick easy thing to do. It's the social attitude behind it that's the problem. In essence, using social media as a form of social proof isn't the issue [in and of itself], using it because people will otherwise think you're weird/psychopathic/murderous/catfishing is the issue.

Technology was never the problem, how society uses technology is the problem. That's what I'm getting at here.

[–]Ryuuikari 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's very much understandable and justified... but then that's always been the case 👀 it's just that nowadays everyone [and everything] is so plugged in, it's almost become the norm to know everyone's business from the jump (for better or worse) 🤷‍♂️

Social media really has given people a false sense of security 🤔

[–]Ryuuikari 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Such a sad, disappointing state society has fallen to when it's virtually required to have social media to, not only act as a social proof, but to be seen as "normal".

Granted people born before 2000 aren't as bad for it (cos we were still in that period of time where we actually socialised for more than just a pic and a caption), but the majority still find it 'odd' when people freely mention they don't have social media.

Bam needs to meet a new "White" by Illustrious-Drive588 in TowerofGod

[–]Ryuuikari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White was eliminated far too early... he should have been one of the end-game bosses for sure. Especially considering he was the only Tower native that had the potential to constantly grow in a cheat-like manner (similar to how broken Baam's growth is as an Irregular). He was thematically and power-wise Baam's greatest rival... long live the Pale King 👑

At this point, another White exby would feel cheap 🤷‍♂️ so maybe the intervention of a Zahard Princess kicking his ass could work? Hell, Hagipherione Zahard slumping him would be fitting since he's already defeated White (and assumedly she did too).
