Inb4 nobody cares because he's being such an obvious troll. :loltongue:

It's kind of funny, but, Kuuga really is Kamen Rider's Ultraman Tiga.

They went a different way with the story, but beyond that, the multiform gimmick and final form and such, all tie with Kuuga pretty well.

...infact I wish the effects in Kuuga were as good as Tiga's. Tiga's form change is nearly seemless-Kuuga is....a lot of terrible CGI>

Kuuga's early CGI was bad, but it got a lot better towards the middle of the show with the Rising Form arc etc. I think another problem with his henshin is that it was very organic. The armor came from within Godai, rather than every other show where the armor appears from elsewhere. That might have been part of the issue.

 

[Psychotime]

This is a predictable retort, but what do you expect from 12 years ago?

 

[Burkion]

Except the show I just compared Kuuga to, unfavorably, is even OLDER. Kuuga came out in 2000. Tiga came out in 1996.

Yet it had superior form shifts, I feel.

 

[Psychotime]

Heh. So much for my argument, then.

 

[Oblivion]

It never crossed my mind that Tiga was before Kuuga. I always thought they were from around the same years in production. But oh well, Toei's current CGI still isn't that good.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRXUSvhWt_8"]Ultraman Tiga vs Muzan-Seijin - YouTube[/ame] Check this fight out for how seemless his form shifts were.

It happens about 2:46, but I'd just watch the fight honestly. It's a pretty neat fight with some nice moments and an interesting villain.

Inb4 it is revealed that he was discussing the topic, and he doesn't hate the show... just thinks it's not good XP
