First off, hello everyone and thanks wave100 for convincing me to join. As I mentioned on GFaqs, I may not post alot, but I'll try to be around for as long as I can. I start by copying over the text wave100 and I talked about. Long wall of text incoming: me- w100- I was also thinking they are fighting their "counterparts" or someone similar to themselves. Correct me on the Team Names please. I don't know if wiki is right or not. Now originally, it was Hanzo and Hebi fighting. Now Death Cram School seems to be the main focus displayed on the site (like Hanzo to SK and Hebi to SKB) with Asuka fighting Yumi in the promotional video. Now "if" they do multiple rivalries, it seems to go: Hanzo vs Death Cram School Homura Guren vs Hebi This will probably be the main rivalry this time. Just notice how similar each girl looks to one another, like how naive Hibari and Minori seem to be and how Ikaruga and Murakumo seem to focus on Traditional Japan. I might have mix up the pairs originally, but you get the idea. If they wanted to continue Asuka vs Homura (as a friendly rivalry) as well, then: Hanzo vs Homura Guren So they could do for plot purposes or just to have another rivalry situation: Death Cram School vs Hebi Anyway, that's my post. I am glad to join. So post your thoughts. Edit: Oops, I see there was already a topic about it: senran-international.boards.net/index.cgi?board=senrankagurashinoviversus&action=display&thread=101Can I still keep this one? I just wanted to continue my thoughts about it.

Thanks for joning and I will close the old thread I just wanted to touch on again that maybe they will use this as the character rival reveal countdown since thats how it was done for the first game.
Who do most of you think the Official new rivals will be?
Hibari and Minori has to happen unless one of the other girls likes dolls.

Hibari vs Minori will be hilarious
I wonder if Imu will be too much for Yomi though due to experience, Miyabi vs Homura would be a close one for sure as they are perfectly even matched.
Mirai vs Ryouna would make more sense than Mirai vs Ryoubi weapon wise.

I also meant to ask, is Yomi the 2nd in command in Homura's group? I know Ikaruga is 2nd to Asuka in leadership. Plus the placement of each character (the way they are listed) on the page from left to right. For example from SK character listing (not counting special or non-playable characters:
(1,2,3,4,5) Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyuu, Hibari (1,2,3,4,5) Homaru, Yomi, Hikagi, Mirai, Haruka
For SKB (no difference really):
(1,2,3,4,5) Homaru, Yomi, Hikagi, Mirai, Haruka (1,2,3,4,5) Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyuu, Hibari Now with Death Cram listed first in this order:
(1,2,3,4,5) Yumi, Murakumo, Yozakura, Siki, Minori
and since Yumi will be facing Asuka (Death Cram School vs Hanzo) and if Hanzo's listing does not change, then it will go:
(1,2,3,4,5) Yumi, Murakumo, Yozakura, Siki, Minori (1,2,3,4,5) Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyuu, Hibari
Same with new Hebi:
(1,2,3,4,5) Miyabi, Murasaki, Imu, Ryobi, Ryona
and if Homura Guren (original Hebi) keeps their listing, then:
(1,2,3,4,5) Miyabi, Murasaki, Imu, Ryobi, Ryona (1,2,3,4,5) Homaru, Yomi, Hikagi, Mirai, Haruka
That was why I originally paired Yomi vs Murasaki and Hikagi vs Imu. So I had two reasons why I posted my thoughts on the rivalry listing, (1) the girls will face someone who is similar to each other (in appearance or situation) and (2) the way the character lists go. I know we will eventually throw this out once Hanzo and Guren are officially (re)revealed here, but it is fun to make a guess for now. Wave100 and everyone else, who do think will face each other (be main rivals this time)?
Asuka vs Yumi Ikaruga vs Murakumo Katsuragi vs Yozakura Yagyuu vs Siki Hibari vs Minori Homura vs Miyabi Yomi vs Murasaki or Yomi vs Imu Hikagi vs Imu or Hikagi vs Murasaki Mirai vs Ryobi Haruka vs Ryona

I think hope there is more complexity here than just one v one rivalry, especially as some dont make sense or yet to me anyway. I.E Hikage - no emotion/ Murasaki - wants to stay alone in room Plus surely Homura & co are not going to work with Asuka & co constently and the same for other side? Also the backgrounds are different colours so this could suggest Asuka vs. (Yumi or Homura or Miyabi) depending on encounter situation

Ikaruga and Haruka are the leaders but Asuka and Homura are main characters. Katsuragi and Yomi are second.

But I would think there biggest threat is not each other and going by the main stroy there is no ill will toward Hanzou because they left Hebijou. Also the power of friendship how could you forget this message used in all anime.

Also the backgrounds are different colours so this could suggest Asuka vs. (Yumi or Homura or Miyabi) depending on encounter situation Yeah, but at least we know for sure Asuka will definitely face Yumi. But maybe Hanzo and Guren will have a mutual respect rivalry, like how Asuka and Homura respects each other, despite having different beliefs, unlike just being good vs evil in SK. It could go like this: Asuka vs Yumi because their grandfathers were rivals, Asuka vs Homaru to see who's the best between the two and Asuka vs Miyabi to Maybe each group will have to face each other during their missions. Again just more speculation. Also is there a spoiler tag code here? I had to hide spoilers the long way here. Wave100: Thanks for the correction. I had always thought the main characters were/would be leading the rest of the group at some point.

Ya the main characters are hilighted to have the most potental then the rest in terms of power but they are not at the leadership level yet.

Asuka vs Yumi vs Homura vs Miyabi Ikaruga vs Murakumo vs Yomi vs Imu Katsuragi vs Yozakura vs Hikage vs Murasaki Yagyuu vs Shiki vs Mirai vs Ryobi Hibari vs Minori vs Haruka vs Ryona
I'd go with this. Considering they're bringing in 10 new characters I don't think they'll stick to 1 on 1. Plus the Guren group are good friends with Hanzou (that Ikaruga and Yomi scene always warms my heart) but they are all ninja-rivals, that's why I still expect them to fight each other again.
The first group are all the morale leaders, bar Yumi and Miyabi who're probably the actual leaders, so that's a given. Murakumo and Imu both have close quarter type weapons, the cleaver/spear and the staff, but also Imu seems like the type to take things 'seriously' kinda like Ikaruga. Yozakura is a serious type who doesn't get jokes which is similar to Hikage's 'emotionless' thing she had, as is Murasaki being a shut in who doesn't talk to people. Plus Yozakura has her giant weapons which is an obvious match to Katsuragi's boots. Haruka and Ryouna are perfect for each other. One a sadist, the other a masochist. Combine Minori with Hibari and Haruka will have a field day wanting to make them both her dolls.
The only one I can't quite get my head around is Yagyuu's group, it's a real mishmash. Yagyuu only cares about Hibari. Mirai hates being ignored. Shiki is a galgirl but is actually quite studious and serious. Ryoubi is a sadist that likes to shoot things and has a breast complex. I can't see the connection.

Maybe thats why Yagyuu was hilighted in the trailer because she easily sticks out as she would not want to fight anyone only those that would harm Hibari unless..... She falls in love with Minori and Hibari and Minori fight for Yagyuu. lol..

Homura being a leader is just temporary, for their Hanzo invasion. Haruka is the real leader of the group.
Yagyuu vs Shiki vs Mirai vs Ryobi
^ Yagyuu will watch from the sidelines while the 3 fight to death. Best strategy for a Free-For-All match.

Hah, Hibari is actually a scheming girl who knows Yagyuu would do anything for her, so when she starts to see her take an interest in Minori she gets serious. I like that silly idea.

That would be a good setup for a yuri NTR doujinshi. Now for the in-game story it will be either one of two things, so ridiculous it's funny, or poor Yagyuu goes completely berserk on poor Minori.
