Burger-Meister said:On another note, is there actually a benefit to being fat in Keijo? Sure, you might deal slightly more damage (I've been on the internet long enough to know that getting sit on by a fat person HURTS), but you're extremely slow at the same time. The speed is a major factor, as it would make you vulnerable to being ganged up, and you don't have much time to counter or recover from it because you know, you're slow. Seems like overweight players would have a niche in situation where the target for attack is trapped or distracted, but otherwise, utility is seemingly very few.
just theorycrafting here, but some advantages would be that it would be harder to push heavy players than it is to be pushed by them, so they can slowly advance and corner their opponents (depending on the position and arena), who would have to move around more to avoid them; the disadvantages would be the greater stamina consumption ( http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SquareCubeLaw ), the slower movement speed/attack speed when heavy players do need to chase after their opponents (due to timeouts and rank placements being based on how many players each player has sunk -- or in the case of the East-West war team battles, which team has the more members remaining), the greater strength needed to change one's acceleration/deceleration, and the apparent greater effort in balancing oneself (depending on which land they're on). I'd think that it's difficult for one (heavy player) to be an outfighter, so they could either be infighters (which are said to have advantage against outfighters due to their attacks being more effective but disadvantage against counters because the latter can counter infighters more easily), or counters (which are said to have advantage against infighters but have disadvantage against outfighters -- probably due to the latter's movement/positioning speed and attack speed, they can have more options for when and where to attack).
However, if (since we don't have actual Keijo data to base ourselves on.. heh) sumo matches are of some help (heard that there's two sumo "fighting styles", one involving keepaway through attacks, the other involving more technical infighting through grapples -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_sumo_terms ), the heavier player doesn't necessarily win in a close-range fight (weight can be turned against oneself, although in sumo apparently a greater weight generally improves one's winning chances) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gp_mhW6yLk
obakachantachi said:Also, is there no way for a season 2? I feel like we've barely scratched the surface of this story. Wacky that I'm saying that about a butt-attacking anime, but it actually seems like the story could stand to have another go-around if only to let Kazane get a moment in the sun.
with only 12 episodes available, the anime needed a good enough ending point (not an actual manga ending) before the next arcs; said good enough ending point (chapter 87) was too far from the manga's actual beginning, so the anime started at chapter 35 (where Nozomi and Sayaka enter the school and meet Kazane and Non), with a flashback that refers to the mock race of earlier episodes (there were actually two mock races in the school in the manga, the anime compressed them into one).
TheBuddahman said:I know that you don't need to take the power levels too seriously in a series like that, but how on earth did the magician girl and that green hair girl manage to match Kawai's and the butt-gatling gun girls speedblitz? It is like they both got nerfed cause the opponents didn't even show any speed/strength technique that would make them keep up with them. Kawai is supposed to knock you unconscious before you can blink while the other girl will hit your blind spots before you even see her moving, but suddenly it seems like they cant do that.
Midori (the green-haired player) is an infighter, who's (expectedly) aware of her type advantage against outfighters so she chose to focus on fighting against Rin (Midori isn't an outfighter, so it's not like she's matching the speed of Rin's attacks, to me it's like she's trying to block and finding openings to try to hit her); Muromachi (the masked player) was fortunate to not be hit on her vital weakpoints on Hanabi's first attacks, then realized that she was aiming for said weakpoints. She (Muromachi) would probably not be able to avoid her attacks for long enough on her own (I said on her own, because Midori was keeping Rin from attacking her), if not for her light reflection trick (which probably gives Muromachi the advantage over Hanabi, though).
Thyriad-oPPailov said:how they put castle inside stadium pool? ;o How did that magician girl pull out a card from her ass? and a joker doesn't mean lose...
Another thing: first before fight start they are shown as seeing each other and ofcourse they shouldn't as there is big tower of castle between them.. another mistake.
considering that the castle sinks when enough players are downed, it's possible that there's either an elevator or the castle can be brought to the pool in smaller parts (didn't question that myself when reading the manga, though, as I was more focused in the players' decision making). No idea about the cards.
There's a wooden floor under the central tower's roof (and above the lower roof), so they can see themselves there

Season 1 is 90/97 of manga chapters so season 2 might out 2/3 years later if manga will not be ended ;/ manga is already 160 chapter lol[/quote]
Sure there is 160 chapters of Keijo manga but only for people who speaks
japanese fluently. People who are non japanese manga readers (im am) wont be able to read it. I was talking about translated chapter which is 97 of it and 63 are still not translated.[/quote]
this season adapted chapters 35 (when Nozomi and Sayaka enter the school and meet Kazane and Non) through 87 (the end of the current arc), the first episode had a flashback of the school entrance exam's mock race (there were two mock races in the school in the manga, the anime shortened them into one) that refers to chapters earlier than the 35th, so (not counting these earlier chapters) there's 53 chapters across 12 episodes (an average of over 4 chapters per episode); if there's another season, it could end around chapter 126 (another good ending point for a second season), so the anime would be adapting chapters 88 through 126 (so, 39 chapters, of which some may be optional or compressable) |
