Also speaking as someone who has experienced tachycardia twice to the point I had to get cardioversion- it just kinda made me feel like I was dying instead of giving me badass superpowers

They harness the power of dying to stop giving a gently caress and go all out, and the end result is they die faster. It's fairly lovely as far as power-ups go.

There's a reason Niko wanted Ohma to stop using Advance.

There's no way the anime is gonna be decent. It's not like One Piece where some episodes can be done on the cheap. There's so much detail in the Kengan Ashura fights that once the tournament starts, nearly ever episode needs to be high quality or it will just drag on, look silly and be disappointing.

i mean it's also cg so there's that i'm only optimistic because Seiji Kishi seems to genuinely love the series/martial arts in general so he'll definitely be trying his hardest with it

KA has got to be one of the worst possible series to convert to CG since so much of the fights are dudes blurring, stretching, and contorting.

I really want the anime to be good, but I have little hope for it. CG fight scenes HAVE been improving over time, very slowly, but mostly with mecha stuff. Also Daroemon should really stop beating himself up about his art, he's seriously great at it, Kengan Ashura looks better than most every other manga I follow.

I really like Wakatsuki as a fighter. As a character and a gimmick, yeah sure he's a bit milquetoast, but the way his fights have been written he goes from 0 to 100 from the word "GO" (and in the Muteba fight, like a fraction of a second before) and I really enjoy that energy. It contrasts nicely with the side chapters and Kengan Asura Zero of him just accidentally breaking poo poo and people while young which I imagine would be the driving force for him exerting extreme control over his strenght. And then an official sanctioned match lets him go full bore loose.

I want Gensai to win the whole thing. He's been my favorite the whole time. I like all of the top 4 except Wakatsuki, who just seems like a guy (julius was robbed). I actually like Agito because he's a fundamentally silly person. He's been beating people down his whole life with his enormous physique and thought his useless "formless" fighting style was the key to his success. He finally reached a level where he had to drop it and is having way less fun now.

Agito's Formless style was considered legit terrifying and a huge reason why he's been an undefeated monster who no one could ever touch at this point. It's not him clowning around, he really is good enough to ape his opponent on the fly and surpass them with their own techniques against literally anyone he has ever fought except for the superstar omega masters of their craft in this tournament - and he still beat Okubo, the best public MMA guy on the planet, and Gaolang, the best boxer on the planet and a Muay Thai master, using Formless. Calling it "useless" is a pretty huge stretch. The only reason he decided to abandon it was that the win it gave him wasn't enough to satisfy his pride as the Fang, not because he couldn't continue winning with it for the foreseeable future. Ironically what he's doing now is depending more on his physical abilities than Formless, since now he's just relying on having superhuman reflexes and anticipation to simply hit the opponent before they can attack.

I think using formless was always holding him back, it was a silly thing he stuck with because it felt badass and he could get away with it. He found it really fun which is why he always made that goofy rear end face when he felt like he was leveling up with it. It looks like others around him knew this for a while - Metsudo and the Fang candidate both knew this day would come eventually but he'd have to be pushed hard to really believe it. I think it's also why the fang candidate guy was concerned if the Agito would actually come out stronger from dropping it given how personally important it was to Agito and how so much of why he enjoyed fighting was framed around evolution.

Formless style as he was using it, that is fight a guy until you learn to perform his fighting style and then beat him at his own game, was silly thing that held him back. Formless style used at its full potential, as in Fang being a master at pretty much every fighting style and seamlessly switching between them according to what is most advantageous in a given situation is crazy strong and it was how Fang managed to defeat Gao-lang. Fang just won't use it in that way because he is a dumb-rear end and considers it cheating and was disgusted with himself that he was forced it use that way to defeat Gao-lang, which is why he rather switched styles than being forced to use the full potential of Formless style or lose.

The whole reaction time thing was why he had to drop formless entirely I thought.

No Wave posted:The whole reaction time thing was why he had to drop formless entirely I thought. Yeah, as it turns out, when you stop trying to learn your opponents fighting style mid-fight and use the freed mental capacity to pay attention to actual fight instead, you reaction time and ability to predict your opponent increase, who would have thought.  I mean its not like all the techniques he learn while using Formless style disappeared and he can never use them again. Or that he is somehow unable to use prediction of his opponent attack to perform throw instead of a punch. In-fact, I won't be surprised if combining his pre-counter with Formless style will be the way how he beats Gensai (if he beats Gensai).

The way the manga describes it Fang abandoned formless so that he would have less possible moves and thus react faster not because of the copying.

Agito's reason for fighting was his formless style. He was fundamentally fighting for himself, he loved doing it, but eventually learned that he was on a fool's errand. When he dropped formless he had to find a new reason to fight and beat people down, and I think his new motivation is to fulfill his duty as the Fang. I think that's what was meant by the bit where he felt he could finally call himself the Fang - he's entirely devoted to that, it's his purpose now.

fabiopenz posted:The way the manga describes it Fang abandoned formless so that he would have less possible moves and thus react faster not because of the copying. Yeah, I reread Hatsumi's fight and you are right. Now I'm annoyed that the manga frames it as the reason he gained his foresight was sacrificing his flexibility and reducing the number of possible moves he makes, when he was using Formless only to mimic his opponent style and thus not really being very flexible anyway. Nor was he always thinking about hundreds of possible moves he can make because the manga was pretty explicit that his mental process was - what is my opponent using? -> use that but better.

The fang is cool its just that he has become somewhat less cool as the manga progresses, rather than more cool like gensai, and its kind of a bummer

i feel like this fight would be better suited to a series of "what-if" side chapters, where we would get interesting fights like setsuna vs muteba (guy who moves when you blink vs guy who doesn't need to blink) or cosmo vs julius (david vs goliath) or jun vs seki (face vs heel) instead i'm just waiting for it to end
