He throws out actual punches in his Designated Martial Arts Fights. Otherwise it's JIGEN HAOH RYUU all day every day.Khisanth Magus posted:I believe that he was actually using forward thrusters to apply brakes to the backpack which would let him separate but maintain his current momentum on his suit, which he then used to get into his opponent's blind spot while he was busy shooting the backpack How did he end up so high in the air though?

I do think that the overuse of Jigen Haoh makes it kind of boring. It doesn't feel like Sekai is using a finisher, just that he's constantly spamming them like a SRW character. Junya's not any great shakes but him moving into a Dempsy Roll or other attacks makes him feel less like he's waiting to hit 150 morale.

I bet Junya learned boxing from flipping through Ippo. I mean Liver Blow > Gazelle Punch > Dempsey Roll? Next he'll be screaming about YAMATO DAMASHII and using his secret technique: punch harder.

At least then he would have an excuse to have a Sei-Iori-Level gunpla, instead he just made his own that is on the same level with all the same abilities.

That would have made things better actually because now Junya just got evil Build Burning from straight out of his rear end.

Given that Build Burning showed up a few years ago in a tournament, and that the team captain apparently pulled all the stops to get him a world-class machine, I imagine it was made by some high level builder mimicking Sei and Junya tuned it up to fit his fighting style like Try Fighters did with the Build Burning.

Even by shounen standards the balance between normal punching and actual special move is ridiculous. Even goddamn Domon, who despite having multiple over the course of his series only ended fights with them, or countered something. Sekai ia basically the rear end in a top hat player in any fighting game who only uses quartercircle punch

On the plus side, next week is almost guaranteed to have a high animation budget so Sekai will actually start busting out regular punches.

I mean in a meta-context. The protagonists are forced to stand around all day never moving just to make sure they have the budget for their next fight. The organization that runs them desperately keeps trying to appeal to different audiences in order to have enough viewers to afford to use the new finishing move since the stock footage for the old one isn't powerful enough anymore.

Fumina's win was funny, but I'm sad we're back to 1v1s unless they just go for a 3v1 next week to finish off Junya (It would be fantastic). Sekai vs Junya is already boring.

His opponents will be so used to him announcing every single attack they'll never actually expect him to attack without saying what he's doing first. No speed lines, no dramatic musical cues, no exaggerated stylistic effects, nothing - just a run of the mill, regular ol' punch. tsob fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Feb 18, 2015 |

I kind of wish they had gone full Domon with Sekai from the start and have him get into Gunpla to find out what happened to Junya. It would have given him an actual reason to get involved in Toy Fighting and given him some actual stimulus as a character. I can just imagine him popping up in front of someone he's beating at Gunpla with a torn photograph. "Have you seen this man???" Episode was okay, though not super great.

All he did was give his sister a moment where she (not him) could be fleshed out further, and acted pretty much the same as he has acted in the past. This is episode 19 of a 25/26 episode series. We are roughly 75% done with the show, and how has Sekai grown as a character in that time? He's learned Gunpla and picked up this (very poorly defined) plot power of Assimilation, also he's a martial artist. That's it. Unless the next several episodes are going to be an avalanche of character development for Sekai, he will continue to be the biggest issue with the show's leads. As for Junya, please do not use Totally Not Lambda Driver Asspull BullshitTM next time, thanks.

Viewers complained about the Build Knuckle being the finish to every match, so to compensate JIGEN HAOH RYUU will be used throughout the entire match. Constantly. Truly a monkey's paw.

I got some shades of the regional final/Battle at Solomon or whatever it was during this fight. I mean, besides two of the rivals being much less characterized. Jigen Haoh appears useless, and Sekai seems to be in more than a little trouble as a result. The other difference is obviously that Yuuma and Fumina are still in fully operable condition. My hope for the next episode would be a somewhat similar conclusion to the regional final's, where the Try Fighters win by being a team, as was said earlier in the thread, except more so than last time. It will almost definitely involve an "I can feel your intentions through your fist!" followed by denial and anger from Junya. Also blah blah about Sekai's phoenix attack. But I think the fight is still salvageable, even if Sekai's character growth may not be. Maybe Sekai will even ask for Yuuma and Fumina to help; I'd like that a lot. Can I add that Fumina reacted to seeing Yuuma getting mugged fairly sensibly? She went to Sekai because she knew where he was and that he could probably manage to defend Yuuma. Even if Ramba Ral and the Kawaguchis wound up saving Sekai in turn, I thought it was pretty neat.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that I still have faith in the show, even if this episode wasn't great or that Sekai can be boring. They really should have gone full G Gundam in this fight, though, with ridiculously impossible flurries of punches and kicks for this fight, like they briefly did with Sekai vs Wilfrid.

This episode did it for me. I didn't think it could happen but Sekai has managed to displace Kio as my least favourite gundam protagonist. Kio was aggressively terrible but Sekai is just a black hole that absorbs any chances of something interesting happening around him and he bores me to death. The worst thing that a show can do is make the audience not care what happens and right now they have managed to make me not care about anything that happens with the main character, I might vaguely give a poo poo about his inevitable fight with Wilfrid but that's just cause Wilfrid's a cool guy and their previous fight turning into "HOLY gently caress YOU'RE AWESOME!" "YOU TOO!" while they punched at each other is the closest I came to liking something Sekai did. Kio infuriated me but at least that's an emotional response, whenever Sekai does stuff I just feel drained. A show with Tryon 3 using eye beams to headshot King J-Der and our Lord and meijin descending from the heavens to bring salvation to the gunpla managing to do that is pretty damning.

Zwingley posted:I guess what I'm trying to say is that I still have faith in the show, even if this episode wasn't great or that Sekai can be boring. I had the opposite reaction and this episode has pretty much killed my faith in the show, because they set up an interesting and dramatic situation with Yuuma at the finale of the last episode and resolved it in the most boring way possible, then followed that up with a really, really boring fight. At least, boring for what is supposed to be the main focus: Sekai. Fumina's finishing with the transformation attacks was really cool, as was the Abulhool doing a cobra. Other than that though, dull as poo poo. My faith in the show has been dwindling for a while now, despite still enjoying some aspects of it, but this episode I considered turning it off because the resolution to the previous episode was so mind-numbingly stupid from a writing perspective. Especially in conjunction with the really cliche and contrived nature of Junya's flashback. I cannot honestly conceive of how someone could look at the ending to the last episode and decide that just having everyone walk away after some harsh words with no consequence beyond revealing Junya's presence to Sekai was a fitting conclusion to that situation.

In Build Fighters you got the feeling (and were often shown) that the other contenders in the quarter/semi finals were serious business and great matches. But in Try we just keep getting quick glimpses of one sided chump matches like Team GN vs who cares and TRYON3 taking out another "mobile armor" in one shot.
