Most Flexible Heisei Rider?

[Reito-sama]

I'd go for Kuuga's great adapt things into weapons can access in different forms unlike Double take a Gaia Memory to change forms or Den-O switching different form too unless the Imagin fused to the Singularity Point by his/her host. I found out most changing style fighter for Godai. For Kabuto is fast killer fighting machine than Faiz, even Kabuto Kunai Gun switch Melee or Shooting modes much of intense fighter. *Godai thumbs up*

Decade = pure example of a "God-modded Rider"

Can you take the belt off the Fury Form Decade? :laugh: I don't know much about Den-O, but from the first episode(dropped it after that), his weapon's such a hassle, it took him a while to assemble a blade. Like "Hold on! Pause! Time out!! Dude, let me get my freaking sword. Now okay I'm all set, Ore, Sanjou~!" and the need of imagins to switch forms makes him useless.

yep. but even i had to admit the den gasher was a pretty versatile weapon with it being able to change into forms ranging from ranged to close combat

you'd be surprised, Den-O would actually fight off Imagin or dodge their attacks while building the DenGasher

I'd go with Den-O, for a few reasons. the four forms had main forms had easy access switching, and with each different form came a different fighting style, and the DenGasher was quite versatile, especially considering a few of it's modes had both short range long range capabilities. even when powered-up, he retained some versatility. Climax Form's ability to use any mode of the DenGasher and had Punch, Kick, and Shout Modes. while Liner Form wasn't quite as versatile as the others, the way Ryotaro emulated the four main forms fighting styles changed things up, and the RyuGun could be use as a projectile weapon.

Plus if they really need to deno can use time travel & have all 5 forums ( counting zeige wing form.... how ever ya spell it :laugh: ) There at the battle field at once ... Oh I forgot about ryos king form as well as new deno... Could be there in the same battle

I just call them Old Gen and New Gen. It's simpler that way.

I just call them "Kamen Rider" and to hell with specifics!

I dunno, I mean, Masked Rider is Heisei era.

I vote for Dex and Ferbus.

- Come here. There's a can of fresh napalm and a cigarette lighter I want you to connect with. :sly:

Yeah, I'll have to go with Decade and Faiz-series Riders having the weakness of the belt being taken away.

Somehow I'm not sure if Gatack (despite all his capabilities) counts as versatile. Sure, he has a lot more gear on than Kabuto (as mentioned, the Gatack Vulcans, Double Calipers, etc.), but I keep thinking he's held back by something...

I think that Kiva and Den-O both have more-or-less similar abilities in terms of their form-changing, but the only reason I didn't think of Den-O as a flexible Rider was because all of this forms use the Dengasher, none of them are a melee (hand-to-hand) only form---well, you can reason Axe form fills that role, though. But I think the limitation for Den-O is, as mentioned, if the other Imajin are unavailable. Does that also apply with Kiva (haven't seen much of Kiva yet)?

Oh yeah, I forget that Den-O and Kiva have huge support mecha (trains and Castles), and the Ryuuki-series Riders have their contract monsters. Don't know if I should add that to their 'flexibility' in battle.

Given the responses in the thread, it looks like pretty much a toss-up between Kuuga and W...

Somebody please stop mentioning Saban's Masucked Ruydur with Ferbus for it's a nightmare. Thankfully, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight came to our TV screens and erased the nightmares of American Tokusatsu.

Dex and Ferbus need an ALL RIDER KICK to hell.

Kuuga and Agito are probably the two best built organic Riders for the era. W/Double wins the tech one.
