Any Koubu can be outfitted with insane amounts of weaponry...I'm talking about the damage potential the pilots have outside of their Koubu.

Have you seen Kohran, then? The chick blows stuff up regularly, and explosions are far better then just normal bullets.

I know every character, their backstory and their damage potential...Kohran's explosions (as wonderful and plentiful as they are) hardly cause any damage besides some soot and charred clothing.

Besides, Maria has her "za vashe zdorov'e" technique which is wonderful enough, thank you very much :v: (I'd like to see Kohran try that with her steam bazooka...)

Her Russian-ness does not show?

Not even in her abnormally tall stature, her tendency to swear in Russian, her blonde hair, or the fact that all of her techniques have Russian names?

What about Vol. 6, where Kohran's Polar Bear-kun makes the dorm hallway feel like the north pole and she's not shivering despite wearing less clothing than anybody else?

Yep, it definitely doesn't show. :)

I would have thought everyone was for Sumire by now. Oh well, I'll try and explain again why she is the obvious choice.

Maria is great, sure. But emotionally she's a brick wall. Ogami is going to spend years before he gets anywhere. Even then it'll end up being one of those mutual respect relationships presuming Maria doesn't shoot him dead. Also by choosing Maria you will break Tsubaki's heart. Do you want that?

Kohran is great too. Problem is she loves the robots more. Ogami is just experimental material for her. It'll be a life of random anal probing and waiting for that one explosion that finally kills him. Also, she'll make him wear that skintight bodysuit they show in her special combo. ALL THE TIME. I don't want to inflict that on anyone.

Kanna is also great. But she's very one-dimensional. She punches things and then gets wasted. That's all there is to her. And yes, she's smoking something. No one is this relaxed all the time without smoking something. Also I think when you choose her she reveals herself to be a man. I may be wrong there.

But with Sumire you have a woman with depth. She certainly makes more of an effort to be enticing than the others. The haughty exterior might turn some away, but I think it is just her way of getting Ogami to play back at her. You've seen how she reacts when he snarls back a bit. The flirting and teasing that followed has been very attractive. And let's not forget she's a fun drunk and apparently owns half of Japan. So I would think she was the obvious choice.

However, if you want a lol-ending then vote Iris because we all know it will be :pedo: :gonk::gonk::gonk::gonk: (Don't vote Iris please.)

Well if that's what he was referring to, then all I have to say is: Kohran's got the smallest (existing) ones in the Hanagumi, Maria's are the second largest.

So yes. Yes they are. :colbert:

You Sumire fans shouldn't get so excited about her boobs....her's are only 1 cm slightly bigger than Sakura's :v:

Not even remotely. There have been multiple people who have joined solely to express their support for Kanna's clear superiority, myself included. So don't fret - when the voting comes, we'll sweep the polls like a tidal wave.

...seriously though, Spirit Armor's going to have to start a new thread for the voting, isn't he? I mean, it's either that or have twenty pages of one-word posts in the middle of this one.

Ahah, good. It is as I thought then, the pro-Kanna movement is just waiting silently like violent ninja to spring forth and promote the one true choice.

Very well then, back into the shadows I go.

Also, yeah. Is there a page limit for threads on SA? I can't think of ever seeing one, but the rest of this LP coupled with the voting may well hit it for the first time in history.

VVVVV Okay, it appears there is no page limit. Or it's absurdly high. Either way, I suppose this thread might only approach that level of insanity if all the games are done together in this one thread. Which I believe Spirit Armor has said will not be the case, presuming he doesn't suffer a psychotic break before he gets to Sakura Wars 2 and kill everyone within fifty miles of himself.

God man... This game is 100% pure clichée. Every single character is a piece of cardboard with exactly 2 sides and nothing more. Everything... EVERYTHING is so predictable that it hurts.

Regardless of what "personality" a character starts out with she will eventually degenerate into Sakura. And you'll get to see more of that happening to whoever "wins" so to speak. So, if you really care for your character of choice, save it from such a horrible fate and vote for the complete opposite of what you want!

I've played a few games similar to this one (reflecting on it I'll be damned if I know why :/ ) and they always end the same way :(

HOWEVER! I've read all the way through this thing because of the power, inventiveness and comedic brilliance of our narrator, and I shall continue to do so! Bravo, sir, bravo. If your script was interjected into the game in place of the real one it would possibly be the best game ever made as opposed to another misogynist exercise among many : )

I would have pointed this out a while ago but I thought it was so obvious it didn't need to be said. Notice how all of the girls act pretty much the same when you're having any romantic success with them, because that's the point of the game.

If the unite attacks are any indication, Ogami's going to be the one who winds up changing. So, pick what you want: a science ninja in a bright orange jumpsuit, a bad boy on an Arrest Me Red motorbike, a happy-go-lucky beach bum, a hot-blooded secret agent in cold Mother Russia, a plaything in the mind of an Elder God, or... um... something so generic I forgot what it was?

Do you expect that she'll stop flaunting her assents after marrying Ogami? I bet that she won't.

I can foresee only three possible results from that pairing:
1) Ogami will discover that everyone, including the mailman, has access to her vast tracts of land.
2) Sumire will get even more drunk than usual and gamble away or otherwise lose her fortune.
3) Ogami will die of alcohol poisoning within three years.

Vote for Kanna or Maria. The other choices are too cruel.
