Hey a Trilopod match! It's about time a creative Kaiju like this got some attention again. Awesome banner to an awesome match.
Spoiler:
Enjoyed all the Trilopod variants especially the Biollante one and felt Godzilla really was on the ropes at times in this match, a true struggle to win but made all the more triumphant at the end.

Nice to see the Battra and Anguirus Trilopods I made be put to use in a banner.
A reminder to watch Chouseishin Gransazers.

Still need to read the new match, but based on the writer, should easily be worth the wait. As for the banner, I think this is a case of the original components being stronger than the final product.

The hybrid-trilopods are all fantastic, especially the Biollante trilopod which is absolutely gorgeous. My main complaint is how they are placed in the actual banner. The Anguirus-pod is kinda just standing on untouched ground with no dust, dirt or haze to smooth the transition between the two. The lighting is also a bit mixed with exposure all over the place depending on the kaiju. Lastly, while again the Biollante-pod is great, having it behind the mountains is far out of scale and keeping it unaltered in transparency or lighting means its no different from the other pods (I'm assuming its the final boss). To heighten that threat level, I'd argue to enlarge it maybe 3X the size and make it transparent, while also focusing on the head. Kinda like this with Orga:

Overall, a solid banner by Josh, but I'm as hard as I am mostly because the potential for this to have been one of the best banners of the year was there, it just needed a few tweaks in my opinion.

You can focus on it, and try to force it, but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient, and you hold still, then maybe... Just maybe... It will come to you."

Yeah, when I looked at it nowadays, I could see it needed some improvements. The G2K idea is badass.

It’s good to hear such viewpoints. Improvements as time passes by is key. Or, as Gareth Edwards put it, “it keeps mutating through every generation.”

Wait, did Josh actually make that Biollante-Trilopod hybrid by himself? :shock:

Not a mod or anything but far as Final Wars canon goes, pretty sure the Xiliens can control anything except those that lacks M-base like that version of Godzilla or "Keizers". Who on the roster would fit this is more up in the air given how vague both of these are.
So I could have it so Megalon is under control correct? Also would Megaguirus be able to absorb a titan's power to regenerate increadibly?

1) Megalon can totally be an Xilien weapon. He was during 164, and can be used for any space faring race so long as relations with Seatopia are strong.

2) Sadly no. Megaguirus absorbs energy, not traits. If she absorbed traits then she could've regenerated after Godzilla fried her but... she didn't.

Also, damn. Great work on that hybrid.

Great match, loved the Biollante-Trilopod, it would be cool if there was a sequel with Shin battling against the other Godzilla-Trilopod as seen in the ending.

Aw yeah, Trilopods are back baby! And with some new appearances to boot. I love the way that Godzilla is written in this match, an strategist with raw strength to match. Stellar match once again from Joshua

This is all around a very good match with some kickass stuff going on, though I felt that it did drag on a bit too long. Not enough variety in the action for how long the match is.

Always glad to see Trilopods get matches.

The fight is pretty engaging as well as being pretty creative with what it does with the Trilopods.
Spoiler:
The Biollante-Trilopod is a little overrated though as it just seems to be a little tougher than the others which is also true with the Godzilla hybrid.

I think it being a little tougher is alright, considering even most of the hybrid Trilopods weren’t that durable in the comic, most of them just being ripped apart.

True, I'm just referring to some comments I saw that I thought were making it a bigger deal than it was.

New battle! I honestly didn't even know Orochi was in the KWC until now but I'm really itnerested to see what this will entail.

ROUND 2.. FIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
Spoiler:
This is definitely better than Godzilla ans Orochi's first encounter! (No offense to Harley is you're reading this) It'sgot good action, much higher stakes, and they usage of Super Godzilla, which alone is a plus.

If I gotta give a criticism though, the ending.. kinda took me out of it Out of nowhere, with almost little build up, the ghost of everyone Orochi kills comes to help Godzilla.. even though he had already made peace with the fact they were dead and knew they would always be with him? And then when Orochi dies, we immediately move onto the next scene and Tuskoyomi is on the Moon even though his dragon body is burning to a crisp in Toyko's ruins- huh? Not to mention the fight between him and Ozaki is kinda anticlimactic.

But yeah besides that, very solid fight! 9/10
