Power Rangers: Strike Force

[Kouki]

And on that day, what would later go on to be the world's most brutal and heinous war began, with atrocities the likes of which no mortal could ever fathom.....

And Sole won...

Cause come on, let's be honest right?

[SoleAccord]

I'd like to think of myself as a nice guy, actually.

@SoleAccord

You are but I think you'd beat me in a war, like I said, you're probably a genius so tactics would probably be easier for you than it is for me.

[ProPro]

So... Nice to see we're so on topic. :P In other news, concert is awesome, and all that's left for me to finish is ranger suits and CS. So yeah.

[SoleAccord]

@KoukiYou guys give me esteem I don't think I've even earned. I appreciate it. And not to brag, but... one of the reasons I made a General a secondary option rather than a primary, is that I think I'd kill you guys. There's no humble way to put that. Believe me, I tried to think of one. But as a Mentor, you are my dysfunctional family, and I will do what I can to keep you alive. Love me.

[ProPro]

@Kouki I never got a response from that PM I sent. Did you get it?

@SoleAccord You're a heartless bastard. I like you.

[SoleAccord]

@SoleAccord You're a heartless bastard. I like you.

@ProPro

Oh, no, if I was heartless I'd have made that General ;3

[ProPro]

@SoleAccord But don't you see? That is the heartless part. Making that sort of declaration, then taking away the opportunity for anyone to accept such a challenge... That leaves behind so much "what if" that it can tear a man apart!

On a completely unrelated note, Nightwish concert was awesome. Had tons of fun. Going to bed now. Probably be dead tomorrow at work. Woo~

@ProPro

Mentor/non-official Assistant

General/Assistant (one of the two)

Ranger

My priorities as of now. Maybe we'll get a good villain app or two!

@ProPro I've seen clips where they morphed via just holding the device and saying their call. I didn't watch SPD despite the great reception I heard it had. I have no real bias for or against a cell phone-like device, but inputting a code into it to unlock it puts a bit of a damper on the epic factor when they need to look down and dial it in. Space wasn't terrible, but morphing was a downgrade. You went from it being a very physical thing--combining two devices to form one, using a key to access the power, and simply just holding onto the device and accessing the power by calling on your chosen dinosaur--to "Please stand there as I press these buttons, one second."

If I wrote an oppressive villain with no honor, he'd be attacking you guys before that went off. None of that 'magical dodge despite you not moving' stuff.

@SoleAccord

I particularly liked Overdrive's way of morphing, and I can't remember SPD doing it, but I think that was good, too.

However, Wild Force's morphing sequence shows you can have buttons and still be badass.

@SoleAccord

Eh, morphging was only a three button code and they looked the villains down as they punched it in with their fingers. Plus, as the video shows, Space had one of the fastest transformations. No fuss, just a flash and you were a ranger with statistics floating around you.

Besides, I feel like I could type 3-3-5 faster than I could turn a key. Mainly because two of those buttons were the same.

@SoleAccord

Also, I'm not gonna morph in front of the enemy and give away any chance of surprise I might have in the future.

How crazy would it be to stand up in the middle of a battle field and start shouting nonsense like

"Hey, you! Yeah, we're the ones you want!! Please be aware of us as we make no attempt to use any form of strategic planning and give away our position!!"

And if I did ever consider morphing in front of the enemy. I would be on the move as I did so. Circling you at a distance to dampen your chance of hitting me and scanning you for weaknesses I could exploit later in battle.

[Renny]

@ProProYES!! I ALREADY HAVE ONE, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT!!!

"Strike Force, flash forward, ha!"

We don't have to have the "ha!"

@Kouki

I feel like it missing something but at the moment I can't think of what. It'll do for now, Flash Forward is a good representation for our light-based powers and our need to keep moving down the path of progress.

@Kouki

It was just my opinion on the subject. I still believe that the design choice could be better without any button inputs, but this is not my sole (lol) decision, it's probably going to be a group one. I'm willing to work with button morphers if everyone else is, since Pro said that although the design has no buttons as of yet, he will add them in if you all want. The gem, on the other hand, I'm happy with it staying.

Regarding your solution to morphing and moving at the same time, if I were your opponent there'd be no need. I'd let you morph. It would have been some time since my General had last beaten and/or killed a ranger. He considers it good sport.

[Kouki]

@SoleAccord

Wait,is that not what this was a discussion about, our opinions?

Was this supposed to be factual?

No, I don't know science!!!

I didn't study!!!!

No one said there'd be a test!!!

[alexfangtalon]

I liked Dino Thunder and RPM's morphing sequences.

[alexfangtalon]

"Alright guys, it's Morphing time

*readies their morphers*

"Strike Force, flash forward, ha!

*morph sequence*

"Striker (whatever color they are), Responding!"

"Striker (whatever color they are), Responding!"

"Striker (whatever color they are), Responding!"

"Striker (whatever color they are), Responding!"

"Striker (whatever color they are), Responding!"

"Striking with lethal precision, Strike Force reporting for duty!"

@Kouki@SoleAccord@Renny@Wade Wilson@ProPro What about this?

[ProPro]

Still no idea what I will declare for the morphing call itself, but what I have created for after morphing is, "Striker Red, Engage! Power Rangers Strike Force!" and so on and so forth. Let me know if you like this or not.

Nice.

I'm still hyped to discuss secret sixth ranger shtuffs once the OOC is up XD

I'm set on his entrance to be like this:

[Kouki]

@alexfangtalon Honest?

I feel like doing colors is redundant. I mean, we'll be those colors, that's why I went with numbers. Plus it feels more science related which I though was good for the setting.

Other than that, I like the "responding " addition. Really, I could go with either "online" or "responding" but "responding" sounds more like a tactical team which is what I think we're going for with the whole Strike Force theme.

All in all, good work I'd say.

EDIT: Ya know what, I take that back, looking at it now, "online" should be for zords, not rangers. What was I thinking?

[Renny]

I'm just gonna say this really quick cause I might be busy for the next hour or so, if we're voting for buttons or no buttons: I vote no buttons. That always irritated me in the show. Internally when I saw them press the buttons, It sent unecessary shivers down my spine.

It felt like the biggest waste of time. Besides we're more advance now, shouldn't finger recognition, touch pad, or some genetic code be better. Lol to be extreme, wouldn't blood print be messy.
