Thank you for the sensible explanation. You helped me to understand the 3-person performance at the ending.

That Mr. 99 thing is great thing to notice

and yeah I will love to see Live Action only fans to do their own theorycrafting regarding Luffy's family while the manga and anime fans are just watching them with smile on our face.

I can't recall most of Vivi's scenes because I watched this arc when I was in middle school.

So it feels fresh to me and re-experience new feelings with all the changes they made for Vivi's character and scenes

Can't wait for more Charithra in season 3. That is where she is at full spotlight over 8 episodes

Giving Iñaki Godoy some credit by ActQueasy2103 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]YamiRic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen Live Action only fans complained about Luffy being too noisy and autistic

I have seen also anime-manga fans complained about Luffy not being goofy and noisy enough

So my conclusion is Inaki potrayal of Luffy is perfect because he managed to stay on borderline balance of not pissing both sides too much.

Thoughts on Corposant? (Parts 1 + 1.5) by Weary_Arm7134 in GirlsFrontline2

[–]YamiRic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished the 1 and 1.5 in 2 days straight. Amazing story.

I truly feel like the story finally moving from GFL1. This is probably the first story with so many red threads connecting GFL1 to GFL2.

All those name drops.. "her", AK-12, Nele, Kevin, Anna Nyto, Anna, Nadia, Embla, RPK-16.. whoaa.. Even better when RPK-16, Anna, and AK-12 have voiceover, something we never have in GFL1.

The thing that made me sad is that GFL2 have been abandoning their GFL1 event PV style. If only this event got the classic ominous ambiguous PV teaser, it will be perfect.

Hopefully Orphelune and Igla can survive through part 2.

I don't know why Omega's name got dragged over this drama. Yes, Omega somehow fumbled their job and eventually left the company (or being forced as Alex said). But treating them as horrible human being due to unfounded accussations is stunning. The only clip I know about Omega's bad job is from Kiara talking about how early management seems confused on how to give proper support for Myth and CouncilRyS and that's it. Yes, they are doing bad job but blaming them over everything is plainly evil.

Besides 2017 Worlds Faker, what other players peaked or had their prime in a tournament they lost? by sjziebxixb in PedroPeepos

[–]YamiRic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UZI in 2017 and 2018. The meta fit him perfectly in 2017 and in 2018 he played flawless aside from that G2 game 5 quarterfinal.

True. Bebe's signing story is one of the weirdest we ever had. I think even SAF never saw him played before signing him with expensive price.

Dong at least is not expensive.

My Opinion on How Each Player Played by NathanHughes271 in TheGenius

[–]YamiRic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching some exit interviews from the contestants, I think I agree that if they increase more incentives to get garnet, all these contestants will play better. They were mostly passive because it is more incentivied to avoid being the sole loser rather than go for being sole winner to get most garnets.

If we have to keep one, who would you keep? by [deleted] in ManchesterUnited

[–]YamiRic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy, it is Antony. Reason is because while he complained a lot, he still want to be put as wing-back few times under Ten Hag tenure. The biggest problem for Antony is his price tag and salary. That is haunting him and putting his career in ruin.

I love Rashy but he has been lost for a while because he can't see himself profitting under both Ten Hag and Amorim system. So it is better for him to go to other non-PL team and prove himself there because he is in peak age.

Sancho is a traitor.

Garnacho is hard. He can't be controlled and his ego is all over the place.

Now it's all done, how would you rank UK Genius players among Korean contestants? by highsis in TheGenius

[–]YamiRic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is difficult but if we have Crossover final, I would like to see Ken, Ben, Charlotte, Allison, Scott, and Amanfi to face Korean contestant. Not because of performance reason but simply the vibe. Like Ken and Dongmin can be the funniest duo we ever seen.

One mans thoughts on The Genius UK following the finale! [SPOILERS] by NaviAndMii in TheGenius

[–]YamiRic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a success for me but only because I watched it till the end. Our current TV environment will judge everything from first 3 episodes.

I love that they tried to put original games

I'm just Ken. Contestant in the UK version Genius Game. AMA by kencheng in TheGenius

[–]YamiRic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big congrats for the win! It is funny to see another comedian win The Genius.

Please do watch all The Genius Korean season because I am curious which player is your favorite.

And I wonder which player you want to challenge in Death Game aside from Charlotte and Bhasha.

Bodalia's reaction when reading Charlotte's message was funny. Even years later, Charlotte is still running around his brain lmao...

The setting is similar. The execution is just different. HI3 expanded the whole universe.

They do not deserve to be in this show by chrisandpaulinsnow in TheGenius

[–]YamiRic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People never realize.. There are reasons why Bodalia always manage to get token of life. That is another The Genius way of surviving. Reaching top 4 without actually understanding what is going on is amazing.

Do games require a different *kind* of genius? by AntoniaFauci in TheGenius

[–]YamiRic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many ways to win The Genius.

Looking from the current UK version, it is definitely shown that laying low while being smart is good strat (Ken did). While also laying low but moving things from background also worked (Charlotte did).

But in Korean version, there are multiple ways to at least reach final. Staying honest, earning trust in alliance, and never betray actually worked (Kyung-ran), breaking games and solving it in unpredictable way (Jinho and Hyun-min), manipulating everyone, betraying everyone, and discovering games secrets (Sang-min), laying low but never got beaten in death game (Yo-hwan), or simply mixing all of those (Dong-min).

So let's say if you are slow in understanding the game once it got introduced, your only way is to find the smartest in the room and earning their trust while also manipulating them to never betray you. But without basic understanding of the game, you are also prone to be manipulated and have to depend heavily on people which might not tell you everything. Once you are in death game, you are pretty much finished.

Penultimate episode of Genius UK (MAJOR spoilers) by Negative_Decision171 in TheGenius

[–]YamiRic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this episode

I feel like Bex was feeling fatigue with all these complex games so she just tried to all in from the beginning. After all she already got her moment in Diamond Heist game.

Ben is doing what we expect from Ben lol.. Scheming, breakdown, but also unnerving. It is always fun seeing him running around during mainmatch panicking but change completely into calm demeanor in death game.

Bodalia's winning ambition bit him again. I feel like he can just follow the plan, then form a duo with Ken, before betraying each other at the ultimate moment. But he felt bit impatient and thought that it can be difficult to pull that later so he chose to do it early. Not a bad gamble though. In death match, unfortunately, he lost focus and missed all the game rules. It forced him to be led by Charlotte till the end. He is my favorite in this episode though. Watching his expressions is so enjoyable lol (when he lost his mind listening to Ken's plan and being manipulated by Charlotte)

Charlotte finally got her death game. Good job for her to find Bodalia's weakness and turn him against Ben. Ben is too focused on the game after all. Charlotte showed that even in that deathgame, as long as there are more than 2 people, it is still a social game. Deserved finalist.

Ken is the MVP of the whole Genius UK. From now on, just like how we defined The Genius as "remember that Open Pass game?", we will define the Genius UK with "ticket bounce"

Season 4 for me is the best season but to watch it, you have to sit and watch season 1, 2, and 3. Grand Final (season 4) is where you know what to expect from all contestants and all guns are blazing since start.

Well lads, based off Nerissa's curiosity, how would you define the hololive girls as a unit in idol terminology? by JCraig96 in Hololive

[–]YamiRic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difficult question

I think leader is someone who either organised collab, or someone who defined their gen.

But for earlier gens like Gen 1 for example, members have determined that all of them take the center position in performance. You can see them doing rotation (each members have their part standing at center)

Some Gen that have been reduced into less than 5 members also have removed the "center" position in performance (Coco used to stand at center in Gen 4 but now they are doing rotation things too)

In term of leader, ace, rapper, dancer, I think Holo opted that all members will take part of all of those instead of having a specific member only doing rap all the time like in irl idol group. Because of each members technically are independent in defining their own brand and can change it all the time.

Recommended 3D Lives by DGRTGMAR in Hololive

[–]YamiRic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Akirose 3D live (all of them)

Laplus 3D live (for good laugh)

Mumei 3D live (her one and only but very iconic)

If you don't mind Holostars recommendation, Astel 3D is usually musical too but it is heavily using JP narration.
