I'm kinda re-treading old ground.... maybe I need a better map????

Lately, I really haven't been as productive, as I would have liked....

Quite a bit of time, has been spent going over existing material. I think, I've smoothed over a few elements, re-did a bunch of stuff and also, moved some minor events around. Really, it's not as chaotic.... or whimsical as it sounds; a number of these changes actually foreshadow later developments, very subtly or help them gel together better....

Well, ok.... that's not the only activity that's been slowing things down.... After all this time, I finally got Front Mission 4 and a decent amount of the past two weeks have been devoted to it. Any way, I hope that I do at least manage to get through it, unlike my half-finished run of Shadow Dragon that I more or less dropped, especially after FM4 arrived....

• [FLR] "I need MUCH bigger hands, to properly convey what I'm feeling right now."
  

• [STK/FLR/Misc] Trust Eri to indecently man-handle the English language... with style!
  

• [FLR/SR3] Ummm, just.... testing myself????
  

"UghhHH! It's so hard to walk on ice...."

"Shi-chan, why didn't you just go around it?"

"Uhhh, I.... Oh yeah...."

• [STK] One thing at a time.... I think????
  

"Ummm, yeah.... I was too focused on trying to block, and I forgot about counter-attacking...."

• [STK] This can't be right....
  

"Hmm... that's quite a strong argument, but you don't have a ROCKET LAUNCHER!!"

• [FLR] From number-crunching.... to bone-crunching? I think, something's missing....
  

• [STK/Misc] Ooops.... I just remembered, there was a Flame Fusion introduction scene, that I had forgotten all about. I guess, I should make use of it, somehow. Well, I have already managed to slip Bolt Fusion into a scene, kinda....
  

• [STK] It's more a science, than an art....
  

"Well, I can't really jump.... not that much, anyway.... I guess, I'll have to get by with stairs...."

• [FLR] Customer.... service????
  

"...and while I'm holding onto your whopper, wanna go large?"

"Can you PLEASE stop speaking?"

• [FLR] Reading it again, this sounds kinda wrong....
  

• [EDG/STK/FLR] Re-balanced a few existing stats and finally added everything for the GDR-03 family.
  

• [FLR] "Precious, precious mushrooms...."
  

• [FLR] I think, Su-chan's remark about bigger hands applies here....
  

"Stupid, stupid Shi-chaaa.... owwww! I hurt my head...."

• [FLR] Whatever you do, you're the only one who's going to lose out in the end. Sorry Su-chan....
  

Hmmm.... I think I've been getting Decade on the brain, lately.... like I expected....

It's kinda been a mixed bag of ideas, over the last two weeks. Well, once again, it's one of those updates where there's not much to really say, but the chaotic and un-cohesive surge of ideas kinda speak for themselves....

• [SPIN] Refined the designs for Shield form ver.2 and as a bonus, began work on Panic form, as well.

• [STK/SRW] Put a few plot ideas together. I guess, it's easier to go over it in more detail, in the closing paragraph....

• [Misc/STK] KAMEN RIDE: NOT CANON!

• [Misc/EDG] Evasion % = Dodge % + "Dismiss Limits" Skill

(Dismiss Limits = Enemy hit rate x Enemy hit rate)

I guess, it's a good thing that Ritsuki's not a video game character....

• [STK] "ORA ORA TORA!!" (Time to say hiya, to good ol' Mr. Tyre!!)

"Can't you at least TRY to make sense?"

• [FLR] Kazuki has now received quite a few upgrades....

• [FLR] Ummm, Ice slip?

"Uhhh.... I think, I heard something click in my neck, but I'm ok...."

• [SPIN/Sentai] The Project SPIN counterpart has been given the tentative title, Kodai Sentai Chikaranger. Coming.... I don't really know!!!!

• [FLR] I wouldn't exactly call that a blindspot....

"Shi-chan, how long have you been doing this?"

"Ummm.... only, a bit...."

• [FLR] Well, at least.... dehydration shouldn't be a problem.... would it????

"Shi-chan, I have a feeling you drink too much of... everything!"

"Yeah, I guess...." *sips her drink*

Ok, I'm just going to place a list of SRW-themed scenarios here that I came up with. Since these spoliers cover the an entire story's events, I'll hide it behind white text:

• Pre-story chapters: One set while Ritsuki was in the SAT, another with Sentry armour Goji during the parallel world events, and possibly an even earlier one featuring Velos and Shroud.
• I played around with the idea of running EDG, STK and FLR events simultaneously. That means, most major characters will be available very early on. 
• I plan on placing Goji and his events on a route split, seperate from the others. In a way, his abscence will mirror the setting for EDG and FLR.
• Choices can be made to determine whether story events follow the EDG, STK or FLR path, or even a mixture.

The following is a list of secrets/unlockables that I've thought of:

• IMPACT/IMAGO and REFLECT-FLARE: A kill count requirement will keep Shigeaki alive for the rest of the game. Aura and Kaizo-Flare are not available. Reflect-Flare is also unlocked.
• Keep AURA: Never choose to deploy Aura. When fighting Kai-SOL, stall until the Shift characters appear. INCORP cannot be obtained.
• CENTURION RIDERS:  Prevent the Sentry armour from being stolen. Ray-Z will not be available, but the three Centurion Riders appear(convincible). The Sentry armour remains available for use.
• INCORP : Unlock IMPACT/IMAGO, then prevent the Sentry armour from being stolen. Ray-Z will not be available, but the three Centurion Riders appear(convincible).
• SEIKEN(Falcon-Being): Only available if Ray-Z is obtained.
• SATSU and ALERT FIN: Unlock IMPACT/IMAGO and select Eri when forced to chose between the Sawanos.
• PALADIN'S FORM/PHOTON OVERLOAD: Choose between the options of Re-fit(GDR-01I) or Re-build(GDR-01R).
• DUEL STREAK: In the final Streak/Cyanide encounter, defeat Cyanide without changing into STREAK(Gekkou) or using "Silver Bullet".
• VELOS and SHROUD: Defeat Scourge with Streak, Velos and Shroud's Combo Attack, with Shift Support Attacking.
• SWIFT STREAM-J: Swift has to give/receive 4 Support Attacks/Defends or perform Combo Attacks with both Edge and Fusion.
• SWIFT STREAM-I: Swift has to give/receive 4 Support Attacks/Defends or perform Combo Attacks with Fusion and receive 4 support defends from Streak.
• SHI-CHAN: Defeat the Switchblade-Mussel Kaizo-Being using Fin's "Rider Arrow Kick". Support Defend Shi-chan with Fin. Defeat the Gattling Gun-Tiger Kaizo-Being with Shi-chan's "Photon Blaster Kick" while Fin has 25% HP or less. Shi-chan becomes available when Swift has 150 morale.
• "EDGE-STREAK-FLARE Combo/Super-Charged Kougeki/Yuuki no Nekketsu" Combo Attack: Only available on the default path. (Obtain GDR-01R, kill Shigeaki, kill Ryuhei, choose Suzumi, obtain Ray-Z, gain Kaizo-Flare).

Oh yeah, one more thing.... I could probably fit Shift: IMAGO into the Tamashii story if I placed a time-jump somewhere along the story....
