Overall, which Holding was the best?

Title

For you, which one of the four holdings stands out as the best one of Convict Colosseum

Tbh, each of them has their arguments

1st one is the first and we see how the winners interact with each others

2nd one feels like now we're into the real stuff

3rd one might be the least good imo but we have serious FM saying that him, Pete, EC and VI could escape together

And the last one is full of tension and I love it

Personally, I would do 2>4>1>3 but about about you guys?

My problem with Karmic Blade and everything he's involved in

Yeah, this is going to be me venting for a bit

You might have heard me saying this ultiple times: I hate KB

I legit think he's the worst character of Convict Colosseum... And it's sad because I liked him at first

But why he went from a guy I decently like to the dude I despise the most in CC?

The reason is simple: his portrayal

Bro started first as aura farming in his big ahh coat and felt menacing (unlike Rawdog btw) but then, it became quickly clear that KB is the type of dude to lose his cool when things aren't going according to keikaku

What's more surprising is that after my very first read of the fight, I thought that this match was great, but after rereading it more slowly coz I wanted to move on to R2 ASAP (and I still have PTSD from R1), it's in my lower half of the R1 matches (maybe top 5 worst R1 fights but I'll have to think about it)

I mean, first KB only do the same pattern of attack against Rawdog and he only locks in in the last third of the match, which feels like around 66% of the match could be erased. I made my peace with KB sneaking in so much weapons (although the daggers still feels dumb to me but whatever) and yet, there's one weapon that still bugs me: the gun

Seriously, if KB won when he stabbed Rawdog's abdomen, it would have been a clean ending and showed that KB is an actual threat. The gun is just overkill and definitely established him for me as a jerk with 0 faith in what he can do (and Rawdog survivng this is bs but that's another subject)

Then in the first holding, when I saw him panicking, I was like "you ain't build for this shit bro..." seeing how AT bullied him and threatened him to break him arm

And we move on to VI vs KB which is hands down the worst R2 fight for me (yeah it's not NE vs GiaB and I even enjoyed it more than Abyss vs Tomahawk and probably Pete vs Firecracker, that's my little hot take, thank you)

To sum up my thoughts on this: not a fun match at all, obvious winner, not a satisfying ending, too much one-sided and the end with the hitman really pissed me off

And even after his fights, I disliked everything KB did. Bro just tried too hard to either look cool, being edgy or aura-farming, only to get rekt shortly after. At first, it's funny but on the long term, it's tiring (even vs Rawdog it felt tiring already). It almost feels like Pinakanaka needed to have another character beside PO to be that one running gag to the point you'd wonder what he's doing here to begin with

So yeah, that's my opinion on KB

Please, don't say I have shitty tastes, it's just my thoughts on him, nothing more. If you like him, that's fine

What's your 3 OR 5 favorite outside tournament matches in the Kengan series? Here's mine (chronological order)

Hi guys!

Title says it all, here's my 5 favorite matches the happened outside of a tournament with explanations on why I love them (in chronological order)

Ohma vs Sekibayashi:
Honestly, it's the first good match of the series. Sekibayashi is introduced, it's the first time we see Ohma actually struggling, the candles scene is so great and also Advance shows up for the first time which is awesome
And finally, it's the match that officially start the KAT and it's setup. And just for that, it's a good match to really start the manga

Ryuki vs Akoya:
Just like Ohma vs Sekibayashi, it's the first good fight of Omega, and I'll even say it's the first very good fight from Kengan Omega
Akoya and Ryuki are two characters that interact pretty well with each others and the fight really shows that Akoya is still one of the KA top guys as he had the upperhand for most of the match. Plus, Ryuki's character evolves during the match as we see that Koga's words impacted him and he stopped himself, leading to Akoya getting the W and then a great conversation between Ryuki and Koga where they make peace

Sekibayashi vs Okubo:
How can this fight literally come out of nowhere and goes this hard?
The whole fight was just so great, both of them are on par and come on, it's the first time there's a double KO in a Kengan fight and they're still going at it, the Golden 8 seconds was cool, the Shinning Wizard was amazing and Seki's pep talk to Koga after the match was just amazing to motivate him and going to search for Ryuki

Ohma vs Kiozan:
It's probably my favorite outside tournament fight (or Seki vs Okubo, idk). First, we see that Kiozan really improved between Ashura and Omega, able to give a high-diff fight to Ohma, Ohma taking Kiozan head-on was both funny and cool, that moment where they push back each others' attacks is so, that Raging igor vs Demonsbane panel was great
And lastly, Kiozan losing consciousness on his feet after Ohma choked him out showed how much dignity and that's truly praise-worthy. A good deserved W for Ohma

Agito vs Jurota:
First things first, is it a flawless fight? No. Is it a shit ass fight? Certainly not
Yes, there's problems in this fight (mainly Jurota going Boxing for no reasons in this fight) but I think we should take the match for what it is: two top tiers going at it, literally a clash between monsters (like Agito vs Kuroki) and, from the crowd's POV, did not disappoint. Combined to the fact that Jurota won, while we all thought Agito would win this fight. The Masaki interaction was intersting and the rest of the fight was overall good. Not great, just good

So here's my fav outside tournament fights. What about you guys?

About Pyrois' Ult...

Pyrois is the only one having 4 different options for his ult but first of all why?

And second, what do they do? Is it just for visual or they do different things? I think I saw one doing more damages than the others and one adding more confusion to the ennemies bt I'm not sure

Bonus question: Visual-wise, which ult is your fav from these 4?

What style the Kaiwan style is the closest to?

The Kaiwan style is totally created from Sandro's mind (or at least I didn't found anything saying it exist)

​

But what style of karate did he used to create the Kaiwan style?

​

Did he used Shotokan? Goju-ryu? Shito-ryu? Kyokushin (although this one is very unlikely imo)?

​

Sidenote: this is asked by someone who does not practice karate and barely know the basis of it

My thoughts on each R1 fights

Hello everybody!

I suddenly decided to reread all the R1 of CC and first of all, in retrospect it's a somewhat painful read but at least we can see that Pinakanaka truly evolved between R1 and now

But also I wanted to give my thoughts on the R1 matches and also giving them a rating on them. So now, without further ado, let's do it!

Sidenote: if for some matches there's ratings like 9/10 or 10/10, it's only in R1 standards. Compared to the rest of the CC fights, it would be somewhere around 6/10

Pistol Foot Pete vs the Pure One:
Do I really need to say anything on that? I get that Pete had to look strong like Pinakanakasaid in PO's character sheet but Holy Jesus it was bad, even for a stomp
0/10

The Natural Athlete vs Firecracker:
Really bad fight that ended too fast but at least it showed that Firecracker is impressive for his small stature
2/10

Spider Bite vs The Samoan Huntsman:
Kinda better and showed that SH is really a force to be reckoned with like Pete but did better actually since SB showed some stuff
5/10

The Scourge of British Columbia vs Iron Turtle:
Same than SH and Pete, Scourge was shown as a real threat and IT tried to do some stuff, which was alright to see
4/10

Ice Cream Truck vs the Scorching Tempest:
Honestly, it's the first good CC fight. Choregraphy is good, both characters are entertaining and I love the end with ICT's song where ST fall for it and gets defeated. Yeah, amazing fight actually
8/10

Florida Man vs Literally Hitler:
Just to be clear, I won't be kind with this one. You've been warned
I get that it was mainly to be a joke and all and honestly, I don't mind LH being well... Hitler (put any other bad guy and that wouldn't make a difference) but it's the rest that doesn't sit right with me. First, there's literally no fight between LH and FM, it's just LH vs the crowd and FM being FM and I didn't like/wasn't a fan of him at first. Plus, all the crowd misinterpret what LH says or do meant to be funny (him saying "nine" and they hear "nein", the chop stuff... Hahaha, super funny.........) totally wasn't for me and I feel like it was forced. I don't mind the end of LH forfeiting but most of the payoff feels weird, ending in a one-side friendship and the reason for LH forfeiting is... Questionnable I'd say? Coz FM never went to school...
Seriously, I legit cringed halfway through this and made me really question if I should quit CC or not because for all the good things I heard about it and what we had so far... Y'know
3/10 (KB's reaction at the end was literally mine)

Never-Ending vs the Magic:
I enjoyed it quite well and don't really get why it's shit on. I mean yeah Magic is a gimmicky fighter but what ppl expected exactly? It was stated undirectly by MS's "but can he fight...?" that he wasn't really a fighter. Plus, I really love when NE ragdolls him and I actually found the match funny
7/10

Geared-Up vs the God in a Box:
It showed that GiaB was really invincible and that even a bulky guy like GU couldn't defeat him but aside from that, that's all there is to say honestly
6/10

Beatdown vs Boogie Woogie:
Surprisingly, they interacted pretty well with BW actually hitting Beatdown but the latter had played him all along and once he locked in, BW ate dust. Pretty nice
7/10

The Arm Thief vs Sonic-Boom:
Same, I think they interact pretty well with each others and I love the trash-talking they did. Plus, the fact that AT also tricked SB and broke his arms was really nice to see
7,5/10

El Cucaracho vs Danger:
I enjoy Danger's character so much and EC was already a GOAT from his first match and I love the fact that even EC was surprised by that. Until he locks in and take Danger's punches like anyone should do (his words sort of) and ended up stomping him was great
8/10

The Cuban Missile vs Monkey See:
Honestly, I've already said this before but I'll say it again anyways: MS literally carried the whole match. CM felt like he did nothing note-worthy beside his knee strike and I get that it's to show that MS seemed invincible but CM was just done dirty
5/10

Violence Incarnate vs the Kyokushin Hammer:
Same than EC vs Danger, VI was just toying with KH and once he locked in, VI was really a cut above the rest of the fighters. Satisfying in some way and once again, VI showed that he really is strong
7/10

Rawdog vs Karmic Blade:
It's crazy that after my first reading of CC, I found this match great but th more I think about it, the more I dislike it. Honestly, nerly 70% of the match sums up to Rawdog attack/KB dodge/KB tries something/it fails/repeat, only the last third of the match was good. I've made my peace with KB sneaking in all the weapons (even tho the daggers still are weird for me but whatever) but the finish... No, just no. If KB had won with his katana, that would have pissed me off (as you know, I think KB is the worst CC character by far) but it would have been """clean""" and perfect. But the gun just feels overkill and definitely made me think that KB is an a***ole who as 0 faith in his abilities. AND Rawdog survivng all this is bs, even with his Superman Syndrome (I'm sure Waka can't survive gunshots and being stabbed). Considering how R2 went, I would have rather a lot more than Rawdog won against KB (he would have been demolished but still)
4/10 or 5/10

The Abyss vs the American Dream:
Shit. Nothing more to say. AD talked during the whole the thing, only to be defeated super fast. At least the speech was cool/funny I guess?
1/10

Holy Scythe vs Tomahawk:
Cool enough but not that amazing. HS is pretty boring and we had a preview of Tomahawk's genius but that's just that. HS's helicopter was funny tho
6,5/10

And that's it folks! Agree or disagree? (totally disagree, I know this...)

Randomizing KvP matches. Which side emerge victorious?

For most of them, it's purely random and some were made intentionally (Ohma vs Fei, Agito vs Lolong, Ryuki vs Yumi, Jurota vs Julius in a leser extent)

First case: KvP no kill rule

Second case, KAT rules so killing is allowed

So for you, which side will win in these two scenarios?

u/Reasonable-Fact8429 — 22 days ago

Agito think Ohma is TN's heir before their R1 interaction. How does it impact this scene?

Title says it all

​

Personally I want to say that Agito destroys Ohma coz of what TN made him endure in his youth and probably incapacitate Ohma for the rest of Ashura but what do you guys think of this?

​

Bonus question: do you think Agito wanted to get his hands on Ohma after his fight against Raian after what he thought in the first slide?

My KAT legends tier list

A few months ago, I've made this post to say that I had a bit of trouble to see nearly half of the KAT guys as legends like they were depicted in Omega

So I decided to do this list to share my opinion on the subject with a few explanations for some guys

  • I was considering giving Seki the tier of Raian, Kiozan, Akoya... But seeing how he was cheered in his fights and the standing ovation he had after his R2 match, I had to place him up there
  • In the opposite way, Raian was initially in the legends tier but seeing how he brutally murdered Mokichi and had a violent/bloodbath-like fight with Ohma and nearly killed him, he had to move down
  • Cosmo is a genius, no need to elaborate
  • Hatsumi might had one of the biggest disappoitement of Ashura with his fights (especially vs Agito) but bro stays powerful nonetheless
  • For Karo and Kaneda, one had a reputation overseas and the other might have inspired ppl in the tournament
  • Most of R1 losers are not legends, I don't need to elaborate
  • Setsuna is a madman and was banned from the Kengan Association and Bando, well... His background speaks for him

My top 8 CC R1 fights (from 8th to 1st)

I've reread the whole R1 fights of CC and here's what sorted out

Honorable mention: Karmic Blade vs Rawdog
Although I don't like KB and have some problems with the fight in general, if I'm being serious for 2 seconds, there's some smart things in this like the whole sword sequence but it's a shame that it happens in the last third of the match and tbh, that's the only great stuff I noted for this fight (except the hellhound panel in a certain way) and the end is just overkill + Rawdog surviving this is bs (coincidently, I have the same problem than Setsuna vs Kuroki lol)

8th: Geared-Up vs God in a Box
Really, this match was funny and presented GiaB pretty well and we see that Geared-Up actually tried to land a hit on GiaB but the latter was just too strong and he won. Yeah, entertaining enough

7th: Holy Scythe vs Tomahawk
Overall nice and HS's helicopter was fun and we were also able to see a bit of Tomahawk's genius in this fight by closing the distance really fast to not get hit. Also, HS showed some cool stuff

6th: Arm Thief vs Sonic-Boom
The idea of AT faking out the fact that he's defeated is pretty smart and the fact that he was able to withstand multiple blows from SB who's the guy punching the fastest in all of CC is no small feat at all and the end is pretty cool with AT punching the crap out of SB

5th: Beatdown vs Boogie-Woogie
I enjoy BW pretty well and I love Beatdown, plus the match was overall funny with BW danging 24/7 and Beatdown actually caught the rhythm super fast to steamroll BW afterward while he faked out he struggled before

4th: Violence Incarnate vs Kyokushin Hammer
It is fun and very entertaining as we see that KH could give some troubles to most of the CC dudes and even made VI draw blood. Also, we saw that once VI locks in, he really is depicted as a cut above the rest, which was very cool and established him as one of the strongest of the tournament

3rd: Never-Ending vs The Magic
Tbh, I do't understand why ppl dislike this fight? I mean, it was stated by MS's "But can he fight?" that Magic wouldn't be a fighter and more like a gimmicky one, what ppl expected actually? And I really love NE since he might look like one of the most normal dudes of the bunch and gim ragdolling Magic was mad funny

2nd: El Cucaracho vs Danger
This fight is kinda in the same way than VI vs KH but here, it's done more better; Danger really played with everyone thanks to his acting and stuntman experience and actually managed to make some damage to EC and EC's introduction and him locking in was just amazing from beginning to the end as he put Danger right back at his place

1st: Ice Cream Truck vs the Scorching Tempest
I mean, it's the first good CC fight, of course it would be there. It's also the first fight where both fighters are going at it and were on par and the whole ICT song was just great to show he has a powerful ace up his sleeve and not only established ICT as one of the strongest dude in R2 but also ST as probably the strongest R1 loser

And that's it folks! Do you agree or no?

u/Reasonable-Fact8429 — 29 days ago

Excuse but what in the actual f?

I was casually rereading some stuff of CC and...

How id IT 19 years old?! Bro look like he's in his late 40s/early 50s! He's younger than me (I'm 22 btw)
