geebsSo, it looks like Red and Belle are series regulars now on OUAT? That's cool, particularly the Belle part, because that means more Rumbelle!
So, this tumblr post about VA and the Warblers getting new soloists every year had me thinking. I mean, obviously from a casting standpoint, its because they're not the protagonists of the story, so of course they'd be led by a changing cast of guest stars. But yeah, both VA and the Warblers center the performances around a really strong lead singer and everyone else just dances around them providing backing vocals. Which is a legit tactic. But as I said in the Nationals ep, a lot of people were complaining that VA totally beat ND, and I disagree. Yes, Unique sang damn good, and the choreography was amazing. But that doesn't excite me. I've always said I loved the mixed vocals of ND. Not to discount dancing or anything, because that's a lot of hard work to move like they do, but in a music performance, I'm more impressed by different vocalists working a song together in a pleasing way. I mean, for one thing, the competition is mainly about the singing, and multiple good singers are always better than one. Again, not to discount dancing, but to have a whole group of people who could perform lead if they wanted to seems like a better collection of talent than one really great singer and a bunch of great dancers who can at least harmonize in the background.
WO blather- One tactic I've found works with Muneshige against single officers- stun them with a c6, then finish them off with the c9. And in the case of huge crowds with multiple officers, just spam c8 until you can thin the crowd and then isolate the enemy officer and do the c6 to c9 thing. I think the SW characters that get up to c9 are my favorite to play, just because of the wide variety of moves- him, Ginchiyo, Mitsuhide, Kojiro, Shimazu (among others) they just have so many things they can do!
I'm kinda annoyed that getting the gold abilities is random, because there are particular abilities I want for particular characters. And it sucks to get 8 weapons and not have any of them have the thing you want. Like I still don't have brilliance for Kojiro, and it seems like that ability works best on those SW characters with the really long attack strings. Also, verity for Masamune, since I'm spamming his musou anyways. Now the thing I'm curious about is, does he need both that AND destruction +10 to make his musous that much more strong?
