Re: All Riders Versus All Rangers
Kudos to whoever mentioned Phillip going into the Library and just looking up Sentai's Weaknesses.
That's even more owning.

Re: All Riders Versus All Rangers
Yeah I know...all of that...but if you're going to make a game like that, prepare for balance issues out the ass. The only good MUGEN games are the ones that have a better engine than the default one that is given.markverendia wrote:
Whats wrong with his idea??
besides they already got that started with "Mugen" vs game...
just in case you dont know what Mugen is GOOGLE IT
mugen is basically whatever you want vs whatever you want in classic marvel vs capcom engine...

Well, with the count, I'm willing to count G3/4 and the RioTroopers (well, up to 6 as appropriate from in season of faiz... the movie ones are too numerous and fielding them would just take away the point of this geekery), however I don't think the Zect Troopers count as they are really nothing more then a glorified swat team with fancier armor.mrangel wrote:Well, I don't really think they should count either; I was just being silly including them. So lets settle on all the riders who are named "Kamen Rider ?????" (ignoring other rider-like heroes); and rangers who transform or have a (team)-(colour) designation. That gives the rangers closer to a 3-2 advantage in numbers
So, only if they are A)obviously a form of rider, even if lacking the name (so, if you want we can count Tackle no matter what camp of thought decides to weight in on that point) and B) have screen time (thus cutting out a great deal of the Hibiki tomfoolery)
D-boy wrote:Now, true there are some sentai that could easily equal one rider (Takeru comes to mind), there are many that don't.
That was kinda my point. Aside from the Decade episodes, I don't recall any other cross over (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). As such we have only that one instance of comparison... and even that is tainted:mrangel wrote:Unfortunately, in the absence of direct 'vs' episodes, its very hard to comparatively assess any characters' strengths. You can probably put all the 'vs' eps together, and come up with a big list of "Attack X does more damage than attack Y", and "Armour X can withstand Attack Y but not Attack Z" ... but that's not really enough information.
If you wanted to do some kind of simulation (which I think would be kind of fun, though time consuming, to set up ... but then I'm a game theory geek), the best you could probably come up with is a massive list of "Attack X (is/isn't) powerful enough to (damage/demolish/damage) a (bridge/road/building)" ... which then allows you to at least rank the power of certain attacks into classes.
1) The kaijin was powered up using a rider's henshin device
2) Decade is in his compete (read: ultimate) form, Shinken Red was not
3) While Decade was in his final form, he uses one of his normal from's final attacks (FFR Blade)
4) Said attack was performed by Shinken Red, so we can't be certain if being in "Complete" form charged up the attack or not
5) Both hero's final attacks were used against the same enemy at the same time... after said enemy took a final attack to the face.
Though, through part of the battle, Shinken Red does take on Blade for a bit. No decisive outcome though as both heroes kept trading fighting partners.
So even the event we all keep pointing to is not a real indicator of anyone as the situation was anything but an ideal rider or sentai fight.
D-boy wrote:More so, with that 2-1, the sentai can't make as strong of a use of their team tactics. Not that they couldn't, it just wouldn't be the all powerful asset some have made it so far.
Sadly, while that would be supremely awesome, the amount of material you'd need to comb over and the leaps of logic and such would be too pain staking. Trust me, I've watch folks try to stat out Ranma...mrangel wrote:Teamwork is an advantage, but also a disadvantage.
Most of the rangers' ultimate attacks are "team bazooka" type things. Now, if you assume they're equally matched to start with, then both teams will suffer 10% losses in the same arbitrary time period (lets call it a "turn").
So ... first turn over. Riders are down to 110, rangers down to something like 190. But of those rangers, you've got (*does statistical number crunching*) 19 'full' squadrons, 17 teams with 1-3 members down, and 2 guys standing around wondering where all their friends went.
For the riders, taking out 10% of their numbers means their firepower goes down by 10%.
For the rangers, taking out 10% of the numbers reduces their effective firepower by about 30%.
Even if the diminished rangers manage to give as good as they get in subsequent turns (maybe the emotional boost they get from losing comrades gives them an advantage to compensate), by the end of turn 5 you're looking at about 60 riders remaining, and 1 complete ranger squadron.
Oh ... one more thing occurs to me.
What kind of attack is most useful in a massed battle? I don't think I've ever seen a ranger with an effective AoE. (Not sure if someone already mentioned that, though)
I would be seriously interested in putting together a simulation of all this ... putting together a perl script to model the battle as accurately as possible given known information. If anyone's curious or bored or insane enough to help out, we could go through all the available specials coming up with "Attack X beats object Y" (where object Y might be an enemy or a building), and construct a corpus of known data. Then, sensibly, it would be possible to get a computer model to assign semi-random power levels that fit the known criteria. I'd say that's about the best you can get without introducing preconceptions about whether we *think* an attack should be stronger than another.
True, at least with most riders, I'm sure there are canon 'stats' that we could use if we could dig them up, but i don't think that plays as much a part as the writers whims and the special effects guys twitchy fingers. XD
Still, what you got so far is pretty interesting.

Re: All Riders Versus All Rangers
FYI: Riotroopers do count. The gears count as Rider Systems, and DiEnd can summon them using a Kamen Ride card, so yes, they are riders, although only the number of gears from the series should be counted (the PL design came first, and was slightly different with a shoulder mounted activator, this design hasn't been carried forward in canon). Not to mention G3 and G4 are Kamen Riders as well. Zect Troopers definitely do not count.
These rider 'stats' you speak of do exist, but they usually just have crap like how high the Rider can jump and the force of their Rider Kick (given in Tonnes, as in equivalent to how many tonnes of Dynamite would be needed to get the same effect). Go have a gander at a Rider page on wiki if you want a look see.

Re: All Riders Versus All Rangers
look this is how it goes. Sentai needs to call on the gaint mechs to even think about winning. then... wait whats that? all riders doing a super Rider Kick on there mechs. ((Riders all the way.))
Unless rangers do something like bring there mechs together to make gaint mech... then that just saves time and the riders can all kick the same mech.
Plus they well have the only Amercian rider there with them. Chuck Norris who is Kamen Rider Walker. jk

You want to make me ask if Kamen Rider HG counts (youtube it), before you say it was only a talk show, you can't for get about Kamen Rider G. Though, XD, Kamen Rider HG is gag while Kamen Rider G is awesome tiney movie.

Re: All Riders Versus All Rangers
Officially, neither count, although I'd be inclined to include G, definitely not HG though.

G or HG would really not have to anything back act like there fighting, the other rider's well kick ass. If anything the others well be hungry and need something to eat and drink after win and Bam there goes G with the food.

Without mechs, Riders definitely. With mechs...does Double get the HardMammother? It's going to be tougher, but between what mecha they have and hax powers, I can see them winning.

Lets be honest, Kageyama is the main voice of JAM, and he has done Sentai songs before (one Abaranger insert song, the Dino Guts one, was really hotblooded).

Re: All Riders Versus All Rangers
Sentai has it in numbers, while Riders have it in strength.
I think they would destroy each other mutually.
