Are we sure there isn't a technique called Faux-Hexing where the Fighter gives their opponent condescending compliments that work to give themselves a brief ability to tank a punch so they can beat their opponent to death?
You know, mild self-hexing for the sake of winning

>>289264358
fuck it, going to say it I wasn't a massive fan on first read but on re-read this fight is great. Only thing holding it back is that it's complete filler. But this is an Ashura quality fight, it's a good unusual matchup where neither fighter is a mirror, there's some good abilities and strategising and a flow back and forth in terms of who has the advantage, and Hatsumi realising that Kaneda was luring him in to point blank range was a great twist.
>>
>>
>>289264229
Is Kaneda's back against a wall? How is the diaphragm being held if it's just from one angle with nothing from the other side properly squeezing it?
>>289264327
Holy overbite. No wait, it's just his lip. His top lip is fucking huge.
Kengan anatomy is unfathomable.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>289264418
Kaneda being able to read literally ten steps ahead on an extremely fast fighter is incredible. Only thing holding him back was that he didn't have a lot of damage output aside from his eyepoke attempt.

And Gaolang was at full-speed, he only wasn't using his muay thai but he almost never uses his muay thai anyway.
>>
>>
>>
>>289264370
Wall mentioned
>>
>>289264362
It was all mind games and mix ups to throw Hatsumi off so when Kaneda struck first Hatsumi would be too busy second guessing himself . Obviously it didn't work but the plan was sound
>>
>>289264490
BOGGED
>>
>>289264327
What the fuck is that face lmao
>>
>>
>>289264474
Kaneda can't back off because then he'll wreck the determinate prediction because he'll be letting Hatsumi control the flow of the fight. Plus he's also staying there so he can use his close range strike.

>>
>>289265046
The plan is choosing a softer, yet quicker, way to kill their org. Instead of having a war with the entire world that they're bound to loose after a long bitter and bloody struggle, it was more convenient for them to "kill" themselves quickly and in a controlled manner that lets them pick the terms upon which they "die". Which is, not at all really.

Considering what Shen ACTUALLY wants from Ryuki and Ohma it's not that bad of a deal
Ohma's a husk of his former self and seemingly doesn't contribute to anything productively, he just bums off of everyone else's good nature towards him and c'mon, it's not like anyone truly cares about Ryuki or anything. He's effectively an afterthought not even fit to live in Ohma's shadows as far as someone like Kazuo is concerned

its indie rock but the kind that bands from the 2000s make after their 4th album when almost all the original members already left and its just the ego project of the frontman

This is all complete nonsense that contradicts what we've seen the Worm do so far.
>we purposely spread out worldwide in as many organizations as possible (as late as Yan's tenure too)
>we performed actions with the sole purpose of letting people know we exist (KvP)
>we realized our size is bad now so we created the Death Dealers to kill ourselves
Why are you downsizing? To stop war? The war is already here Yan, you bombed Italy. Actually you don't seem to mind because you also smuggled nuclear weapons everywhere.
It only makes sense if you ignore all of that and conclude the Death Dealers was just a prank to make this meeting possible, but even that has problems. Murdering your own people to create a legitimate mercenary business to sneak into the Kengan Association sounds like an extremely desperate strategy, the kind of plan you employ when you're out of options. The Worm hasn't really tried grabbing Ohma and Ryuki, all the attempts so far had no effort put into them.
>>
>>289265151
I immediately start complimenting Metsudo. If I can cheese my way into his good graces, I'm completely safe for the rest of the manga unless that dastardly ape Yumigahama targets me. He's +1 against offscreen bodyguards.

He could beat Himuro, but just barely.

Surely some Wu's could be integrated into the worm given their close relation, they could have a Wu work as a spy in the Kure village and somehow convince Ohma to go somewhere they need him.

I don't think unaffiliated people would even know about Shen. Probably low ranking Worms also are oblivious to this. What the hell do they tell these people?

Yeah Kaneda managing to eve survive as long as he did against Gaolang is legitimately impressive and Gaolang is legitmately a beast of a fighter, the problem is that precisely because he's that strong but not one of the author's untouchable pets he's become designated Worfing target #1 that's constantly used to hype up how strong other people are and consequently keeps looking worse and worse because he doesn't get a good win.

We've established the Worm is one common power total and killing members just redistributes their power to the remaining ones so really they're just buffing themselves.

Maybe it's because this one would actually make some sense.

I've been reading SiR and it's really annoying how much Sandro ends up reusing the same character archetypes and plot beats.

The worm is an ancient criminal organization which at some point got taken over by a series of insane and powerful martial artists called "Connectors", but it never stopped being a criminal organization.
My theory is that the majority of the worm is involved in racketeering, smuggling, etc., and everyone around Shen is just "overhead" they need to keep him happy.
The "real" worm doesn't appear in this manga, they're just quietly collecting money in the background.

it's also pretty much proven with dragon clan that if connector didn't get what he wanted, you will die
so when the worm got a call to start cloning research, they had to do it to keep connector happy (he would still be pretty miffed about accidentally becoming one)

You know what?
Ultimately, this is probably the best fight in "Omega." There was genuinely good pacing, twist, conviction, hesitation, and actual realism to the reasoning for two different fighters. There still weren't any stakes (it was just "match for funsies :L"), but it actually made sense.

I liked it.
A bit silly, but actually reasonable.
The weaker manipulator was able to make the stronger experienced master question himself, even when the results still mostly harmed the "baiter." It makes the masterbaiter happy, proving he has worth, and makes the masterreactor angry, proving he needs to train more.

I liked Liu's fight better, especially because it's like the only fight in KvP where Purgatory Rules actually matter in a meaningful way (as opposed to people dying) with him winning by ring out against an opponent he couldn't KO. Plus it has a great flashback and actually makes you root for him. The only thing against it is Naidan's suicide being absolutely idiotic nonsense but it's only an indirect flaw.
I do like this one though.

This is one of the most misunderstood mechanics in Kengan. Much like "hexing", "levelling up" is purely a mental ability. Win or lose, you can always end a fight with "this will make me get even stronger next time" to get the buff.

Unfortunately, "realism" left Kengan long ago. If Luohan took high calibre rifle shot to his brain, right now, he could probably "think" certain thoughts and the resulting electrical pulses would spin the bullet 180 degrees directly back out of the hole in his skull, at an increased speed, right back into Fusui's rifle.
Then, he'd put a Band-Aid on his forehead and say, "that kinda stings" and smirk.

Reading SiR has convinced me Sandro is just saying shit nowadays when it comes to writing because he clearly has no idea how retinal detachment works and could not be assed to spend five minutes googling it when it's supposed to be a key plot point and he could have just picked a different eye condition or made one up. I don't think he understands how tendons work either.

>>289269137
What irks me is how quickly he backtracked on the detached retina thing. It was almost instant as soon as they got their aliexpress Hanafusa.
And honestly it was a good setup too, Nozomi having the wit and experience to be a great fighter but being held back by one severe (enough) injury so instead she lets other girls pummel the shit out of eachother and use her knowledge in another way. Like, didn't she have a small physical encounter/spar with Hina before she fixed her eye? I remember that being a pretty damn good scene.
But yeah afterwards it just started going off the deep end into usual sandroisms, it's a bit less mindbreaking because at least there's some eyecandy and none of the narrative and emotional baggage that comes shitting on Ashura's legacy.

It's absolute schizophrenia. The Worm existed just fine for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. It was doing just fine in the modern era too until this, probably BETTER even since now they have access to advanced reconstructive surgery and the like to make their doppelgangers near perfect.
The only reason why this is a problem at all is because THEY instigated public hostilities with all these countries. And there's literally no reason why they did so. None. And no, I'm not "green", there is no explanation to this day either.

The issue is just that just like most cases of decent Sandro setup, it just goes nowhere. You would think that the payoff here would be an actual "tragedy". The Worm/Death Dealers massacring the assembled forces. Or Shen does it himself as his reveal. But instead it's just Shen teleporting around gently tapping everyone unconscious, despite the fact that the last time he was in a situation like this, he killed Mukaku's entire clan.

It’s like the concept of the Worm is “what if Yujiro had a death cult dedicated to keeping him calm and happy so he doesn’t kill anyone” which I guess isn’t a terrible idea but it sounds like something out of one punch man, it’s a concept that can only really lead to jokes.

>>289270988
Well, he didn't start it. Once upon a time the current Shen was an aberrant schizo who came down from his mountain and took over the Worm by beating up the current leader(in in the totally 5000 year old opening of Omega), and they all decided to worship him after that. He then also conquered the Wu with their help.
But also Shen is totally not their actual ruler and bears no responsibility for anything they do, now isn't that just wacky?
>>
>>289270330
They're Worms. Edward, and later Gilbert are a part of the Worm, and thus their part of the Wu is too.
It's true these are undesirable to the Finnish soil, but, well, it is what it is.
>>
>>289264720
This entire plot legitimately makes more sense if you actually do just take the fourth panel at face value, and assume that the Worm's plans are completely incomprehensible because their higher-ups are just bonkers insane.

Sadly, this is almost certainly not the actual intended takeaway, and the Worm's plans are instead what they are simply because of bad writing.

Shen is Omega's biggest problem, which is really saying something. This plot is really bad but it would be salvageable at least if the Worm's god wasn't an alcoholic redditor.
>>
>>289271507
Shen is fine in a vacuum as an ancient chinese cultivator martial arts god from the mountains. It’s his relationship with the worm that doesn’t make sense. It would be better if the worm was like a deranged dog on a tight leash and their actual goal was to kill Shen but he keeps them around anyway to do his bidding, and the current Shen just doesn’t have any bidding so they can work aggressively to try and eliminate him. That’s still retarded but at least it’s logical.

Sandro probably changed his mind on what he wanted to do with Shen at some point and we're suffering the consequences of that. He likely was meant to be 'a fun person to be around, till he's NOT...' and then Sandro got way too into him and walked back any evil potential.

>>289264761
In a better written series this could have been an interesting plotline. Unfortunately this feels like something Sandro came up with after watching some spy movie. The Death Dealers have only been introduced over the last couple of chapters so them being a Worm offshoot is an incredibly boring and pointless twist. This could have worked if they had been part of the setting since Ashura and had assisted the main cast from time to time. That way this reveal would at least have some weight to it. It also doesn't help that the Worm organization has been so far entirely defined by retarded mystery boxes, character flashbacks, speculation and cryptic nonsense from (dying) Worm agents. There is really no explanation for what they actually want or why anyone would be so loyal to an organization that considers its own members an inconvenience and wants to see them dead.
>>
>>289271602
Definitely. Change probably happened around or just after the Mukaku fight I think, because of the whole immune system schizo page where he just never acts like that ever again.
The painfully obvious way to handle that AND keep chungus Shen, would be to say that that was "the Tiger" speaking, and whenever Shen acts bloodthirsty/schizo, it's him. But Sandro seems to enjoy making his own writing actively worse and killing copes people come up with to explain/defend it, so of course we go with "actually the Tiger was never even sentient until the Luohan fight gave Shen an aneurysm from rage at Luohan daring to not instantly die, and he manifested an ego on the spot", despite the fact that before that, Shen had claimed that he could talk to the Tiger and he was witnessing everything Shen did.
>>
>>289264745
That's very wormy at a least
>>
>>289271602

He should have actually killed Xia Ji at a minimum to maintain some kind of menace. If the Worm exist to stop Shen we should be constantly on edge for when he stops being a goofy drunk and finally snaps.

Sandro really should just blatantly copy Baki. Even though Yujiro is mostly chill these days there's always an undercurrent of tension because the reader knows he might just rape anyone who crosses him. Shen should have something like that

Considering that Luohan was actually mentioned before the Mukaku fight by Tiger Niko, I wonder what was the original plan with him before he became the EVIL scapegoat for Shen&pals. Maybe just a competent aide like Naidan

I agree with that anon. What makes Shen a garbage character is his chungus personality. Just imagine him behaving like an actual man who mastered immortality and "principles" and it'd be vastly better. Having Shen be an actual tyrant with a hair trigger temper wouldn't fix everything, but it'd make a huge difference.
>>
>>289271826
We have too many "villain murders another villain to show how unfathomable and dangerous they are and then never does anything that brutal to a Kenganvenger" scenes already. Shen should have killed Kiryu for training Ryuki wrong as a joke(?, since we still don't know what the fuck Kiryu meant by what he did to Ryuki) backstage like people originally expected when we got the page of him walking off furious, or some other Kengan fighters he ran into back there who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
>>
>>289271602
This. It's the third time Sandrobitch's fallen in love with an antagonist and made a wholesome chungus that can do no wrong.
>>
>>289271826
Come to think of it Shen sending Luohan flying for a completely made up reason does come off that way, except we're meant to view the latter as the villain
>>
>>289264455
Asura sure, but definitely not past Round 2 of the KAT.
It's a pretty fucking sad result for Kaneda that in spite of all his growth, he can't beat a flaky guy like Hatsumi who seems better cut out for Kaneda to beat than fighters like Wakatsuki or even Rihito who could literally unga him to a moral victory.
Not to mention, this just makes me dislike Hatsumi more as a fighter. He's a very convenient character for Sandro because it's so easy to write him in a disadvantage without sacrificing his aura.
>>

>it was, in fact, a "no u" post

If Sandro had managed to resist ballooning the cast and plot completely out of control to the point where non-pet characters can expect maybe one fight every IRL decade, it wouldn't be so bad. But this feels bad to be Kaneda's first onscreen fight since losing to Gaolang(no, I don't count the Ohma "spar"). It's funny to meme on, but the powerup isn't a bad idea in itself with him, but again it's lame that it ultimately just serves to go "Woooow Kaneda, you almost won that time, you're fathomable and slightly awesome!"
Sandro spent a lot of time in early Omega telling us how much cooler Kaneda is now, that he's been winning matches and stuff, but we never get to see them. Why is Ohma can crushing Kiozan in this event while Kaneda has to fight Sen? It'd make more sense if we got Ohma vs Sen to followup on the rivalry they had in Ashura, and Kaneda instead got to beat an opponent in his league to establish his new moves.

Yes I surmised that as well, just what he is specifically saying
I assume "precanned high low mixup" means using the same combos over and over but beyond that I'm totally lost
>>
>>289273849
It was interesting to me in the sense that it almost reads like Sandro is leaning into the fact that his fighting choreography is ass by giving Kaneda an ability that would require him to do a lot of telling and less showing.
But as I've said, it's just more of the same shit except with a thin veneer of legitimacy. The dialogue and "commentary" has been incredibly insipid for so long. Is Sandro so insecure that he needs to put speech bubbles everywhere about how awesome the fight he just wrote was?
>>
>>289268582
Nah, it's not as complicated as that. Sandro loves Metsudo way, way, way more than Nogi. He arguably values Metsudo far more than even Kuroki.
>>
>>289273849
Never mind Hatsumi looking terrible for struggling against Kaneda, Kaneda himself got out of this fight looking like shit.
He matched up against someone who would be vulnerable to his schtick AND fluctuates wildly in power levels AND doesn't have the kind of fighting style that rewards being a grug so he doesn't have to worry about his poor physicals being exploited... and Kaneda STILL LOSES after seemingly doing everything he could right.
Poor bastard.
>>
>>289274026
To me it's less insecurity and more cynicism. He knows his readership is made of braindead retards, so he's using the fighting equivalent of laugh tracks. He'll simply have a character tell the apes to get excited, and they'll get excited. Simple. Efficient. Beautiful, in a way.
>>
>>289269349
It sounds like schizophrenia because everything they're saying is the result of Sandro improvising everything as he's going along, while still simultaneously trying to make everything wrap together neatly. Sandro constantly writes himself into corners and never learns his lesson.

Wifi refers to how having a bad internet connection causes people to cheese through their fights through lag preventing their opponent from properly anticipating their actions.
You don't need to know the specifics of "fuzzy", here it basically just means Koga can easily deal with Ryuki's BS.
Attending a local means going out to actually play against other fighting game players around you in an organised setting with stakes.
Running flowcharts online is self-explanatory, but if not, take it as Ryuki being overly formulaic in environments that don't incentivise him to grow.
>>
>>289266684
Thank you for this edit. I was hoping someone would follow up on my request to synthesize this panel with Nicolas's hair and Gilbert's eyes. I have no idea how to further improve this. I suppose some creative anon can figure out a way to add Mukaku's "the truth will forever remain a mystery" and Sen's "like I give a shit" to this.
>>
>>289265270
Don't worry. Sandro will have an entire chapter or page dedicated to a big text dump on the Worm's true ideology. Whenever he gets around to actually thinking about it, that is!

>You should stop asking questions whose answers will forever remain a mystery open to interpretation. It makes you look like a nutrient, like I give a shit.

It's just Ryuki's plight FGCfied
He is crutching on a martial art that is very flawed in repeat encounters and wasn't actively trying to remedy it but instead chose to beat up worm jobbers for 2 years, leading to himself getting isolated and "groomed" by Kiryu
