I honestly never noticed that Ebirah's claws were asymmetrical.

Although Showa would probably appear to more people here, I feel that FW Ebirah could be used more effectively.

Wow, before seeing them side-by-side, I really had no preference on which version of Ebirah potentially showed up in the game.... but now I DEFINITELY want Showa Ebirah. I love his lighter cooler scheme, and I SUPER love his huge, hilarious old man face. Millenium Ebirah is all right, but he's just kind of a giant lobster, whereas Showa Ebirah is a bizarre beast.

I understand why it might seem unnecessary but how is it annoying?

It's only annoying if it's done in excess.

I'm glad we're all staying on topic.

I like how all of you who find it annoying have signatures that take up a lot of space and appear at the end of all your posts. Some would say that's annoying...

To be honest, I prefer Ebirah's Final Wars design when it comes to dealing with a kaiju fighter game. It looks modern(Or at least updated), it looks more battle ready (Or better equipped) then the Showa counterpart, and it actually looks like something that can walk on land, and fight on land. (Which it did in the FW film). Showa Ebirah is classical, but I couldn't really see that incarnation as a playable monster. A boss like STE? Sure. How about a monster-strike that attacks from watery shores and throws rocks or ships? Yep. But for some reason, I find that version being playable rather odd. :shock:

Perhaps you should put -Lenbo in your forum signature so it's there by default, instead of signing them manually.

Really? Honestly there barely a difference between Showa and FW Ebirah to me. I mean there's enough of a difference that I can tell them apart but not enough for me to go "ZOMG they went with X version instead Y version.

Your reasoning doesn't really makes a lot of sense..no offense. You could have simply said you prefer the FW Ebirah.

It make senses, I'm just simply expressing my reason in a larger statement as to why I find FW Ebirah to be more suited then simply just saying that I prefer the FW Ebirah and that's it.

No, not really.

-"It looks modern"-No, it just looks more like a real lobster.

-"It looks more ready for battle"-HOW, exactly? They both look perfectly capable, and the former we actually *saw* battle Godzilla.

-"It looks like something that can walk on land (probably because we saw it happen. Derp). and fight on land"-How does the Showa Ebirah not look capable of either of these things? I'd love to know.

"I couldn't really see the incarnation as a playable monster"-Why? Because of your personal preference? Yeah, that sounds about right.

"For some reason, I find that version playable rather odd"-You even said, for some reason, meaning that you don't even really know why you wouldn't like it.

1. It looks like a modern update of that character, which despite looking like a Giant Lobster (Then again most people (non-fans) would think the same when looking at Showa Ebirah) it is from Toho, that's how I feel, that's about it.

2. The Showa Version doesn't look like as capable as the Final War version since it lacks the hard shell appearance that the FW version has. The FW looks more armored up, thus why I said that.

3. Why I don't see Showa Ebirah not look capable of it? Because it was never displayed during its debut film. Showa Ebirah was only shown fighting in the water, and the design didn't really sell that it could walk on land. It doesn't look like it could fight on land since it mostly relied on sneak attacks by hiding itself underwater and surprising its opponent. Something I doubt it could do on land properly or at all.

4. No not really, I couldn't see it playable because of the creature's design, and it only looks like something that can only fight within the water.

5. I meant to put (For some other reasons) there, typo on my part. I had another reason but I submitted my post before completely spreading the thought out.

But there you go.

Gentlemen, is there really a debate about why a certain user is in favor of a different incarnation of a massive crustacean? Let's just move on from it shall we? It a rather reasonable suggestion since there's not much of a point to invest time into something like this any longer.

Yes, let's argue over which incarnation of Godzilla is going to be the poster boy for this instead :P
