I bet Haru could gently caress some poo poo up if he was non-fat and improved his technique. I hope Rihito doesn't lose his first match, even though it's pretty likely. Also can you imagine how hosed that guy from the first fight of the series would have been against these guys?

Jedah posted:Haha, you might be right! Nice find. I thought he was based off the Lemonhead candy mascot, but I can totally see him being a grown up Nester, too. Lemonhead guy looks far more similar (though I'm not sure why the character would be based off of him). His similarity to Nester isn't as significant (and there'd be no reason to make his head to side if he was aiming to make him look similar). Not to mention that, more importantly, it seems Nester was just from the American Nintendo Power magazine and it would be strange if the author was familiar with a character from the American Nintendo Power that most Americans aren't even familiar with.

I'm kinda impressed that Rihito wasn't seriously injured and Raian apparently required doing that much collateral damage to their surroundings to defeat him. I'm rooting for Rihito since he's probably the most over his head guy in this entire tournament.

While I think the assassin will probably win, I'm actually not 100% sure. I'd give the priest maybe a 10-20% chance. There's clearly something special going on with him.

The final fight will be between Raian and Rihito. I won't hear otherwise. Regarding Rihito, I feel like he'd benefit from learning some sort of grappling martial art, since given his superhuman grip strength it would be virtually impossible to break out of his grip.

Begemot posted:Yeah, hopefully he learned from his loss to Ohma and developed more techniques than "give 'em a pinch". He's not really pinching people so much as scraping their skin/flesh off because his fingers are so strong they can be kept firmly in the same position no matter how much force he applies to them. I feel like he would be well suited to some sort of grappling martial art, like Robinson in this chapter. There's no way Rihito would lose to anyone with the "hand-wrestling" thing that happened this chapter.

Yeah...we haven't really seen Mokichi's "come back from a point when it seems like he's losing" reveal yet, so I think he still has a chance of winning (though I still think Raian is much more likely to win).

I think Mokichi will at least do some sort of comeback in the next chapter, though that doesn't necessarily mean he'll win (it might be the sort of thing where he just manages to force Raian to take him seriously while using his bloodlust).

I looked ahead through the next 4 or 5 fights in the raws, and there are a couple that actually weren't that predictable (to me at least). One I just wasn't sure from the beginning and the other I thought I knew who would win and was wrong. The others were fairly predictable but still badass.

I'd be curious to see how some of the fighters who (likely) won't ever be paired against one another would fare in a fight. Dudley's gimmick seems to mostly be "can punch really really hard", which is also similar to the gimmicks of folks like Haru and that guy Cosmo is friends with (who both seem to have "is really strong" as their main trait). I wonder how he would do against another strength focused character like that. My guess is that Cosmo's friend is significantly stronger (since he seems to be one of the top fighters, period), but I'm not so sure about everyone else.

tweet my meat posted:Just a simple, fast slugfest between probably two of the physically strongest fighters in the tournament. I really like this fight, you really get a sense of the incredible amount of superhuman force being delivered with each blow. Pfft, I think the decathlon guy is out of his league. Wakatsuki wasn't bothered much at all by his blows (I'm assuming this is the fight that just got translated?).

I like how Oliva is this super cultured/refined guy who also has an morbidly obese wife/girlfriend. I look forward to some of the future Kengan Ashura fights being translated. There are two I have in mind that had unexpected results, with one being REALLY unexpected.

Jose posted:not sure why thats spoilered when it doesn't actually tell us antyhing tbh Knowing that Muteba has a move that hurts someone in a cringe-inducing way is basically the same as saying "at the very least, this character isn't going to get steam-rolled like Wakatsuki's opponent was (for example)." This fight is a pretty cool one and is one of the handful of fights that have shown up in the raws that wasn't really predictable.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about him at first, but Muteba owns. In retrospect, I think this is the first fight where I wasn't sure what the results would be, though it was more due to neither fighter being an obvious winner than it defying expectations.

I feel like Rihito could be really, really strong if given actual proper training in a martial art. Like maybe some sort of grappling or something, using his Super Fingers. He's spent pretty much his entire career just relying on his finger slicing stuff, so if he expanded his repertoire he could do a lot more.
