ugusername posted:On the whole thinking that a loser student of the winner of previous tournament should win is on the same wave that traditionalist karate master should job to quirky dudes. Kengan is all about subverting stuff. I am ready to eat my words but this is prime material for Rihito to grow up even more. And he did really good. Path of martial arts is hard yo. Rihito can lose this fight just fine but not like this. It doesn't make Falcon look that great despite his reputation and dominance in this match, because anyone who has to debilitate their opponent to win is conceding they were outmatched in the end. And it makes Rihito's hype from the Mokichi match hollow because his technical side was what hampered him for the most part and it wasn't until he went back to a more reckless side like in Asura that he started to really make headway once he landed his counter hit. So far, these fights are a step down from the ones in this own series that precede it. Akoya vs Ryuki is still my gold Standard for Omega because it lands the right combination of character, story, and actually satisfying combat.

That's the Kengan mindset In the Purgatory ring, the winner is the winner. There is no such thing as outmatched in pure strength because pure strength isn't what is being measured. The better fighter won.

Tonfa posted:That's the Kengan mindset This is about what might be satisfying for the reader not what makes sense in universe. And Kengan people use dirty tricks and insane gimmicks fairly frequently as well as having a ruleset that just lets them get away with killing their opponents under the right circumstances. Even a poison appendage isn't new to kengan fighters since Kaburagi did this to some extent. If you honestly found this fight's final act satisfying don't let me take it away from you. But I'm still waiting for someone on Purgatory's side who is enjoyable to see in a fight. Or is it that something that stopped and started with Jose and I was just supposed to take the hint when he lost to Yumigahama?

I am indeed enjoying this arc because the Kengan guys are in hostile territory and are losing because they don't realize their opponents do not subscribe to the Manly Man Hotblood Punch Club attitude.

I can't help but feel like this is just gonna end with Purgatory winning the tournament and also having no fighters left because they've been totally beat to poo poo by the Kengan guys

Comparing the Falcon to Kaburagi is a little weird. The Falcon's tricks are still reliant on him actually fighting the opponent, whereas Kaburagi's tricks were reliant on outside involvement and never actually fighting his opponent until he felt they were totally debilitated, at which point he would beat their rear end. The moment that Ohma beat Kaburagi's tricks he literally pissed his pants and surrendered.

kaburagi's w/l record wasn't particularly impressive. his whole deal was that even if someone beat him, they'd still get hosed up if not ruined. so, he had a lot in common with falcon's original occupation.

Tonfa posted:Yeah Muteba described this guy as a top 3 nonlethal disabler in the world, it's not like he's some comedy jobber Rihito should have chewed thru Same, I was either going to be very impressed or 'Understandable, have a nice day' with this one. Either Rihito did some serious hard work to make up for having absolutely 0 martial arts in only two years to keep up with and beat the Falcon or the many years of experience separating the two of them wouldn't be something he could overcome that quickly. Hey wait, is this just a if it's 3-5 then one team wins no matter what or are people going to have to go for second rounds?

one thing i dislike about this tournament so far is the (seemingly on purpose) ambiguity on the two winners so far in asura, the majority of wins happened at the end of the chapter - the climax for that particular chapter.. there were lots of cliffhangers for comebacks, but victors were certain by the end of the chapter like, all of wakatsuki, cosmo, fang, gensai, fast love man, jun, lazy almost fang, all these guys at least all had their fights conclude within the same chapter pretty much every time

remember when Rei won a lot against fan favorites but then he got his rear end beat by Gensai in the end. While there are upsets, Kengan will come good
