like some mix between Rosemary (from Pop'n)
and Touhou

I'd be interested to see that,
especially since there's no (?) fully European lady in Touhou (maybe Remilia, but she's a vampire).

However from your description I actually think it looks weird at the moment.

Actually I don't even think Apostle should be female anyway.

BTW, people Fxxxing love female chars orz

I would know, derp; I think it's safe to say that I've encountered more females in video games now compared to before (...Touhou already added 100+ to that list)

[WUT?]

Anyway...
Gonna map something ;_;



ps. @crystal: Umm... I wonder when other don-chan avatars are done :3

Today's update is in the lyrics department!
This time we have the lyrics for that honey-collecting song (forgot the romanji for みつばち大作戦)

This song is so ear-wormy lololol

@arken Don't worry,I'll draw the rest soon.

At least they have simple designs
unlike my song personifications

BTW,any ideas about a BRA personification? I tried designing one,
but she kept looking like some mix between Rosemary (from Pop'n)
and Touhou,drawn by someone who sucks in drawing lolita-style clothing.

Black roses make me think about a Bayonetta-style female character

@crystal: lol the Mitsubachi Dai Sakusen song

Bayonetta?!Really?!!o_O
That's like...the video game equalivent of Panty & Stocking...
*sighs*continues racking brain for designs*

They actually released the lyrics for Mistubachi Daisakusen, wow.

...they should make a chart for it on AC15 too lol @_@

I tried.Oh god I tried.

Uploaded the comboburst into my Arumujika map, together with a section-pass and section-fail (better credit LuigiHann for the original design too). Goddammit I love vector art. So easy to make and comes out looking so professional.

@above: Hey, great work!. Could have been a bit more violent and active (like the song itself), but whatevs

It's OK,BRA has a pretty ruthless side,almost like Ryougen.
(but the ultimate nightmare is Joubutsu,of course)


BTW,I had this little idea.If I were to personify the 2000 songs,I'd totally make KiSai very angry at Hataraku
for stealing the title of "most difficult 2000".Joubutsu has this title now,but even KiSai knows not to mess
with her.

A lot of people didn't seem to agree with that bit though (about Hataraku), until Joubutsu came and murdered every song ever made.

Grats arken

I'd totally make KiSai very angry at Hataraku
for stealing the title of "most difficult 2000"

TBH I don't think Hataraku stands a chance against Kita Saitama.

No really.

I tried.Oh god I tried.

OK now I see what you mean with it looking like Rosemary + some Touhou char, lol

I'm actually basing off the official's opinion about the diffs of the 2000 series.
In Hataraku's intro on the Official Blog,Hataraku was considered the toughest out of
the 4 god songs.So yeah...

Not really, one look at it will tell you that Rotter Ura is still harder than it. The official blog was probably trying to scare us with the 320 BPM part

Conclusion:The official team knows nothing about song difficulty tiers.

TIERS DON EXIST

SURE THEY DO Wikihouse actually separates them into SS, S, A and B class for the 10* and 9* Oni songs.

P.S. tell me if my new sig is too obnoxious ._.

*yawn* aqua, log on to osu for a sec, there's somethin' to talk about.

EDIT: ...when the Taiko Lyrics forum updates, it usually comes out with good choises. But WHY to add the horrible song of the bee-minigame of Taiko Wii 3? It's also ugliest of the Idolm@ster songs on that game... S:

Waiting.

Eh wait,what does this song have anything to do with the idolm@sters?Or did I misread your post?

He means it sounds as bad as the IdolM@ster songs.

I dunno, I thought Overmaster was pretty good, except the opening bit with the robotic voice.

...can someone of this thread rip/send me a slow-downed version of Joubutsu2000?
I've found a fan-made way to see an hypothetical Joubutsu200:

I love it actually.

In fact, I love it so much, I'll ························

Also, can someone recap me again of which songs these chars are in?



I just dreamed last night again (...and dreams that are stories are kind of one of my more unnatural powers, I won't bother explaining), and now I couldn't stop thinking about adapting these designs and writing it. Yep, you heard it right: I think I'll be breaking my shell here and ignore the 9 unpublished fanfics that I have, and make a new one based on these.

...it will however stray away from the usual genre of Taiko's story, as I'll be writing it in my preferred plot and genre, that is, more towards fantasy.

I'll be keeping the details to myself for now, but the reason why I'm asking is so that I could listen to the songs and maybe come up with the personality of each of them. The only detail I can tell right now is that the protagonist will be Ryougen, and I'll possibly be writing it from his PoV.

You guys can also suggest to me how their personalities should be, but right now I am in dire need of a word-ified visual description for all of them (I suck at describing something visual)

(hopefully I don't get writers block and end up stopping this, like the million other fics I have... I don't actually have a fic that I've finished, lol, just like the Teruru fic I probably haven't told anyone about)

In particular, I still don't know what song "Shito" is from, but the fact that he's connected to Blackrose means that I really need him for an important plotpoint.

Also, the same artist actually made a larger (though sketch) version of Ryougen

She (He? The name's 'Mirai' though...)'s officially awesome now. Wow she also draws Pokestuff too...

She also has Mintia and a notebook sketch of Halohalo

Is there a link to that tier list anywhere? I went on the AC14 page and only see a clear difficulty list and a fullcombo difficulty list.

@Zekira: Fanfic based on those personifications? That's a crapload of characters- it'll take a while to figure out each one's personality. Their basic behavior shouldn't be too hard to decipher though. Also the fact Run, Blue and Love aren't separated by dotted lines could mean that they don't represent songs at all (my theory: red and blue notes and drumroll colors). As for Shito.....umm.....orz.

@everyone: Holy crap my Alumu-chan sig o_o lolololol Hopefully this will get more people to mod the map.

@arken: ...lol don't direct link pixiv images

Also the fact Run, Blue and Love aren't separated by dotted lines could mean that they don't represent songs at all (my theory: red and blue notes and drumroll colors).

Huh? Could swear Papapa Love or something

Anyway, someone list those out for me

Crapload of characters won't be a problem: I'll include all of them, but not all of them will be major characters, maybe only 5. I used to be in an RP and I was holding 30 characters, where 20 of them were only sub characters, lol

Rain- Kissa Rain
Kiluna- don't know
Mintia- mint tears
Earth- SORA-I
Pop- Yuujou Pop
Sengoku- Sengoku Sangen
Gekka- Gekkabijin

Is there anyone can get a nice music file of No Way Back?
Zek?

EDIT:
Where's .osu file of inner oni of No Way Back?

Reminds me,there's this member from the taiko baidu community who makes
great personifications of Taiko songs :3
(that plus all those personifications in Pixiv are the reason why I'm jumping on the bandwagon lol)

Thinking of personifying Joubutsu nao.
And Shito somewhat reminds me of Dokon's appearance in DS2.
(I still like his outfit in DS3 more though)

OH GOD WHY DIDN'T I.....Yuujou Pop! *is now next on comboburst-making list* I am loving the personifications now too lol :3

@lepido: FFFFFF it's not on the Taiko Trials! Must've missed it...Lokamp?

lepidopodus wrote:

Sure, gimme a few minutes hours

Also,

Sakura = I still have no idea, since I really have a feeling it's not Yozakura Shanikusai.
Yuki = I actually have no leads on this one
Shito = SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THEY ALREADY KNOW WHICH SONG THIS IS FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

EDIT:

Yuki = Yuugao no Kimi?

Also why do I have a feeling that Shito is somehow connected to something like Tokoyami no Mori or something...

You know, the most annoying thing about cropping from something with a white BG is removing the gray bits that are leftover in the outline because Paint.NET's failure of a Magic Wand is a failure.

In other words, someone tell me what image software you guys are using. I think my new computer can handle it now, though I might have trouble actually learning this stuff, since I'm in particular lazy to try shit out.

Also, triple post. Fuck yeah

Photoshop isn't any better either :/

Eh I use a mixture of Photoshop Elements (from my dad's Bamboo tablet) and imageready (leftover from the PS trial I DL-ed a long time ago,for some reason I can still use imageready after the trial ends) for image manip work.

@lepi-don: ...WHY are you so motivated to kick my ass away from the Taiko Trials? You're a quite cruel guy...

... by the way, I would love to help you. The best Game Song for Taiko games merits storyboarded lyrics (which I'm creating right now), but can you post your map AFTER I've created/storyboarded them, please? I don't want a similar situation as for In The Zone, pal u.u

Maybe you can send me the beatmap before the submission, after I've placed the lyrics...

THREE. FUCKING THREE.

I was playing this for the sake of getting a feel of how I should portray Shito and Blackrose in the fic. Those who were spectating me earlier would notice that I was also playing Ryougen again, lol

ZEKIRAAAAAAA

How do you FC BRA Ura in the first place? I get stopped dead cold on the first deathstream Every. Single. Time.

Damn Zeki-kat-chan lol
Magic number 3 would be broken lolol

@aqua: Hand switching again as usual, lol.

I used to get lost to that almost every single time too, but after analyzing it carefully, it's actually easy to register it in muscle memory. I can even type the stream out here:

ddkkdkkkkdddkddkddddddddkdddddddd

I used to be only be able to do the first 5, which was ddkkd, a simple stream. I needed to find a way to recover immediately to hit the kkkk using the left hand first. dddkddk is the last problem, as it also starts with the left hand. Finally, that one k in the end uses the right hand, which is simple enough to recognize.

All the streams after are just basic streams and just are a case of stamina and speed, for all of the switches from here on will always start from the right hand except the kkdk dkkkkddddkkkkdddd(===) part.

Kinda went for the mint chocolate look here lol
IDK if this colour scheme works though.

brown

Sorry, no.

Uh, crystal, osu!'s dying in and out, I don't think we can converse properly at the moment, lol

*tries a somewhat all-green colour scheme*

...

Looks better, but...

...

...okay fine, I admit, I am blinded by the fact that mint tears = snowy. Fuck.

I actually kinda associate mint tears with the color white the most...

BTW,I'm stuck.
Any ideas on a Rotter personification?
I would have added some Seiryu elements (I blame VOX UP),
but it'll look very weird,so no.

To be honest, even I, who has listened to Rotter almost as many times as I listened to Saitama, am not even sure.

Ok, here's an old map of mine, with timing fixed and an Inner Oni ripped from some Youtube videos.

NECOLOGY

Yeah I'm not sure what Rotter is meant to represent either. Maybe you could make Rotter some kind of chibi, insane manga-like character, I dunno.

@Lokamp: Updated on Mappu~

Insane is definitely right, that's for sure

Though he shouldn't be as insane as Kita.

The most insane one would be Joubutsu,that's
for sure.She kills people by throwing them into
funeral pyres.

Actually,I'm having trouble with Rotter's design OTL
I kinda need a scheme.Colours,clothing style,hairstyles…
stuff like that.
Rotter and BRA can be a bit bipolar (normal and inner oni)
while the Saitama sisters speed up or slow down when on
sugar high or somethin'
(I would have them do so when drunk,but KiSai loves drinking
sake,so…)

KiSai can only slow down, while Sai can only speed up. Don't forget.

Also I don't think KiSai should be female

Zekira wrote:

Of course I won't lol.

Huh,KiSai should be male..?Time to rethink KiSai's design then.
Saitama's got cat ears and sailor fukus...KiSai should keep the cat ears,
but his outfit..?

Clothing? Definitely not something I can help out at :/ I suck at conceptualizing those

Good god.I was thinking about the personalities of the 2000 song personifications,
and I realized that aside from Saitama and maaaaybe Kidaruma,every single one
of them are mentally effed up in one way or another.

It's...horrifying,so to speak.

No duh?

Koibumi and Kidaruma, and maybe Taberuna and Ekiben are the only ones closest to being sane.

...Saitama is sane? Really?

Yeah Koibumi's only insane thing is the 800 BPM ending. :3

Koibumi: A girl very obsessed with her girlfriend,and always writes love letters to her.For some reason,she never mails
then,but throws it away and writes another one.Others are pretty puzzled about this,and some say she doesn't really
have a girlfriend;She just pretends she has one to cover up the fact that she's Forever Alone.
BTW,Namco's trying every mean to prevent Koibumi from meeting X-DAY,god knows what'll happen if she knows that
her relationship won't last long.

Taberuna:A fat guy who eats all the frickin' time.A cuckoo bird tags along with him,which calls every hour or so.
Sometimes after the bird calls out,Taberuna dies from a heart attack,and resurrects later on.
Eventually,Taberuna starts to lose his mind--everything's eat,eat,eat to him now.

Sane my ass,guys.

Waits for Senpuu and Tenyou <3

Interesting fact: This mega-thread is almost a half of Beatmap Projects forum.
Oh, and I'm still waiting for the music file of No Way Back.

@lepido: D: Wait, I don't have the resources to record stuff at the moment :/

@arken: OH GODS YES <3 When did you contact her, though? I'm actually surprised that you were able to convince her (him?) of doing more! Also, can you ask her/him if she/he can give info as to which character is associated to which song? We're kinda confused at some of them at the moment (Shito, Pipi, Viento, Yuki, Sakura, Kiluna, etc., actually, we just need the entire list, lol)

@crystal:

...!

PLOTPOINT GET!

Also, as long as they don't end up killing themselves, they're probably still on the border of sanity, so Koibumi will probably be some sort of still sane. Taberuna, however, I completely forgot that he actually killed himself already.

Actually I'm beginning to like your backgrounds for them; I just might end up using those to portray conflicts in the story.

...yes I can't help but say it now; a major conflict in my fic will be one that's against the Nisen family tree.

and some say she doesn't really
have a girlfriend;She just pretends she has one to cover up the fact that she's Forever Alone.

...I'm actually not quite sure how I'll take this one, though at least now I have a good idea on how one of the Nisens will recover from their senses.

Yes, hidden text, since I just can't keep the main plot to myself anymore. Ryougen came from a village (which I don't have a name for yet), born from a family of dancers with the clan name 'Mai'. Along with Tenyou, who gives the dance of nature, Ryougen is the village's dancer of strength, one that symbolizes fire. In secret, he actually has relations to the element of fire itself. The story starts with Ryougen suddenly getting tired of his usual stay in the village, and that he thinks that he was fated for something else. Tenyou, being a supportive younger sister, gave Ryougen the idea that quests always have a goal they want to reach, so Ryougen took some time to find what his large scale goal should be. Upon looking at his family belongings, he notices the picture of the siblings... 3 of them. This gave Ryougen the idea of his quest to search for his long lost sister, to which he has forgotten for a very long time (he doesn't even remember her name, though you guys would've probably guessed by now). This starts Ryougen in his journey, convincing himself that this is actually his destiny, and that his true fate is to walk down the path of a warrior. I won't tell the ending plot just yet, however, but let's just say sannanagorokuyon turns up at the end. Aside from Ryougen and Tenyou, other characters of notice that will somehow be on Ryougen's side will include Blackrose Shito (which I totally shouldn't have included, because it conflicts with my allusion, shit), Saitama Nisen, Earth Sora, Gliese Sora, HaloHalo, Blue, Yuki, Sakura, Rain, Acoo, Fuun, Kikyoku, Chikuzei.
After I'm finished with the main story, I might do extra chapters just for fun, which will include some other random stuff. For now I only have the team tournament in mind, where the teams compete in different aspects of whatever they can compete in, and the members of the teams will be according to which game their appropriate songs appear in the CS games. I might include some more backstories too, such as Ryougen's other sister's past, the Nisen family conflict, Mai family's childhood days, etc.
Man do I dream big. Will I be enthusiastic enough to pull off a fic this long?!

Hmm,let's see if I can ramble on with the rest of the 2000 gais...

Sorouban:A woman dressed up as those game show announcers,who keeps dragging people to participate
in her little game show called "Sorouban2000".Unfortunately,this game is very twisted and deadly.
The game works like those question-&-answer games like Who wants to be a Millionaire,but the questions are either
incredibly hard to answer,or doesn't even have an answer in the first place.If Sorouban considers the answer
to be wrong,she electrocutes the contestant.
But Sorouban has no idea that the contestants are dead;she thinks it's just a game,and their deaths are just acts.
As a result,she continues to host her little game,even when the players are all dead.
Also,Sorouban seems to know a thing or two about the Taiko Team's secrets.She hardly talks about it though,
and if she did,she says it in morse code.To makes things worse,not everything she says in morse are actually useful;
sometimes she says things that has nothing to do with taiko in the first place.Even so,people suspect that she knows
who the no Mai siblings (and BRA)'s father really is.
(holy shit,that's a long description)

X-DAY:True to her roots (the song's based off X-DAY2),X-DAY has the ability to predict the love longevity of others.But for
some reason,she always predict that her client's love life won't last long:Luckier ones get days,the not-so-lucky ones get hours,
minutes or even only a few seconds.And her predictions are always true,if she predicts that your relationship will last for 5 minutes,
expect something to happen after 5 minutes that'll break your relationship apart.
It's rumoured that she also has the ability to predict how long someone's life would last.But no one wants her to do so,for obvious reasons.

Kechadon:Kechadon is a very,very stressful writer.He keeps writing all the time (be it with paper or on the computer),claiming that he's
on a very tight deadline and his employer is nagging him every second.Heck,he's so stressed out he often spouts out gibberish.
In reality,there is no employer,and he doesn't really have a deadline in the first place.He's hallucanating everything up,and it's
gradually making him crazier.Seems to share similar problems with Hataraku,BTW.(huh,turns out he wasn't as insane as I thought)

@arken and lepido: OH MY GOD

So I just tried out arken's method of extracting songs from the ISO's...

...and my first experiment was to try and get God Eater from Wii3

Call me a man with such shallow happiness,

BUT I WAS ABLE TO DO IT! AHAHAHAHA

The wav extracted was 18MB (wtf?), so I re-encoded in Audacity for 192KBPS. Uploaded it now in my MF sharing folder as 'godeater.mp3'

http://www.mediafire.com/?dy034f37qhj8j

And being able to see all the files inside the ISO's contents...

OH GOD

Shit, the hacker inside me has burned up once again. I now want to know how much more shit I can do with this...!

@crystal:

Sorouban:A woman

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

who the no Mai siblings (and BRA)'s father really is.

...I myself don't even know. Care to elaborate? (I'm using the name 'Zeami' for something else, mind you)

He's hallucanating everything up,and it's
gradually making him crazier.

Aw...? I didn't want the idea that Kechadon was the hallucinating one, but w/e...

Yeah I'm also planning to make them more sane by the end of the storyline too. I'll see how I can work that out, as I progress the fic.[/quote]

OK,Sorouban's male then.Figures I haven't think up his outfit anyways.
About Zeami...hey,the morse code from AC13 (Kantan) did say Zeami's real identity begins with Shi.
(As in Tatsuya Shimizu,I guess)

EDIT:Tenjiku and possibly Yokuderu will join the ranks of "The saner ones of the nisen family".EkiBEN...he'll be some hot-tempered
Taiwanese tourist who nitpicks with everything.

Yokuderu should have complete manipulation of her voice. Tenjiku, I'm not sure how to describe. Ekiben would be definitely hot-tempered, that's for sure.






I looked more into the ISO's contents again, and there are a number of places I could look for for the picture files, but so far the .clma files, when read via Hex Editor, comes up with some interesting strings:



Which may lead to evidences of the picture files.

Leaving it at that, I tried looking for the Mitsubachi Daisakusen sound file on here, which I found out to be an actually unboosted, mono-BPM one. The game actually boosts the BPM of the music in the 80 second and 40 second mark, and there's no sound file here which has the boosting-type Mitsubachi Daisakusen. Very interesting.

EkiBEN just seems like a stressed-out salaryman. Maybe even near karoshi...

Yokuderu/Tenjiku are stressed out salarymen who get vacations. EkiBEN is a Taiwanese rapper. Hataraku is a stressed out salaryman who DOESN'T get vacations.

In more hacking news,

Video files are found inside the ISOs as file extensions of .thp

After much research, I found out that the .thp file is actually a Gamecube video file extension. What are the chances that the picture files are also stored as gamecube files instead of wii files?

Proof is simple as this: I was able to extract op.thp from Wii2's ISO, which by the filename, I would say is the opening video.

Finding a software that can play thp files, I tried it out, and

OH MY GOD



(Arumi~)

I can now officially play the video files off of the ISO themselves directly!

I'm getting closer and closer, oh god! Picture files, I WILL hunt you down!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

EDIT: Looking at the wii2 ISO, I can conclude that there are 2 filetypes that are somehow related to the picture files: .swg and .tpl. Looking at the wii3 ISO however, I could not find traces of .swg, but I can see that they still use the .tpl file extension. Quick research tells me that .tpl is either a Photoshop file, or a Nintendo texture file. Will do more research on this.

@Zekira: Lovely, it's lovely :D

Herein comes an obstacle in my hacking progress

I've isolated that the image files are all found as .tpl's, which is a Nintendo filetype for textures. Problem is, to open these, I need the SDK tools to actually be able to open them, and I must say Nintendo did a pretty good job at shooting down everyone who tried to distribute their SDK, because I cannot find any downloads for their SDK, Gamecube or Wii :/

The black market of the internet is failing me, oh god

EDIT: oh god, I think I found a working torrent of the SDK... which will finish in 15 hours -_-

I should probably start writing the fic while I'm waiting for this...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ZEKIRA YOU ARE GOD

Oh yeah, are you able to rip 1STPAI from Wii2?

Tried designing Saitama and Kitasaitama.Lineart only though...

@aqua: es, I can extract First Pie from here too. It's 18.8MB straight from the ISO...

...is it just me or is 765 using too high quality audio?

@crystal: Saitama's colors are actually correct already

By the way I'll be using Mirai's characters for the characters in my fic, so I'll just probably try and visualize chibianthro versions of crystal's for the other characters that aren't in yet, that is, until Mirai starts to draw them.

Hey it's audio for a game. It has to be HQ. I can imagine people putting their Wiis on their amps and playing Taiko with the thing on at full blast, and still audio quality won't be compromised.

@crystal: Why the cat ears for Saitama lol

EDIT: I'm making Mirai's Yuujou Pop char as we speak

Because cat ears usually make something naughtier (...in a clean sense) than they're supposed to look. Sai and KiSai are supposed to be somewhat also out of their minds.




Lol at how the audio file extension is .nub. I keep reading it as something like "ryougen dot noob"

It's because of the Saitama Monster,silly.

Oh yeah, the Saitama monster has cat ears. Derp.

Yes I know that. More like I analyzed the question as "Why cat ears [for Saitama monster]?"





EDIT: Oh shit. For some odd reason, the audio files I extract from the Wii have their left and right channels reversed.

@lepido, I am fixing God Eater right now so that the right and left channels will not be reversed. I am re-uploading it as godeater_fixed.mp3 . Please use that one! http://www.mediafire.com/?dy034f37qhj8j [/b]

If this really happened,it's gonna be hilarious.

EDIT:I think there's something more to the reason why Saitama Monster's got cat ears.

@crsytal: !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I love you so much now so freaking epic...

@lepidopodus: Please read my post before this one

EDIT: @crystal: ...wtf at Saitama ASCII art? Well, I would've figured the Saitama monster's design wasn't Kharl's original and was based off of something, but I didn't expect to find it now, lol.

Quick question:Do you think it's possible for them to have relatives outside Namco?
Cuz I'd totally make Ryougen distant cousins with Kachoufuusetsu and Fuushikaden.
Especially with Fuushikaden,since Ryougen sounds quite similar to it.
(that and how Fuushikaden (the literature piece) was written by Zeami (the historical character)...)

That, I'm not sure. They definitely have distant relatives, and I think it's pretty easy to make some minor appearances of them, though I'm not sure I'd want to do that...

However, I do understand that I'm centering around Ryougen, and Ryougen has like... 39587623875 distant relatives. Wow.

EDIT: you should totally color that Ryougen x Ryougen pic. Post it everywhere while you're at it.

...yes I love it that much.

Senpuu is relatives with the PlatoniX songs and also has a slight connection with RED ZONE (thanks to the last parts)
Tenyou....I'm not so sure about her OTL
BRA is relatives with Reunion,I guess.

mint tears is relatives with the Dormir songs,obviously.

EDIT:OK,I'll colour it tomorrow then :3

In theory, it makes all of them relatives, you know. I'd probably make all of them know each other.

HiSpeed 4

At 208 BPM? I seriously wouldn't do that @_@

...ok, I understand the will to create the 2000/Nisen personification, but WHY to give them human bodies? I totally agree with Kharl's cloudy-ish theme (not saying this because I'm already used of its Saitama image xD)

Also the profile of the characters can be different. Here's my interpretation:

Saitama: As Kharl profiled.
Koibumi: A girl thinner and smaller than Saitama, a French, black hat and a small, black dress.
Kechadon: Bigger head, monastic/sensei clothes (and a Mini-Saitama squad for the Kecha shouts xD)
Yokuderu: bigger body, blond braids and a viking helmet. (I know, it's valkyrie-ish!)
EkiBEN: blue glasses, brown leather jacket, taller than Saitama
KitaSaitama: Angry face, orange microphone. Bigger than Saitama!
Taberuna: Body bigger than Yokuderu, fishing clothes (fishing hat or a silly crown)
Soroban: A digitalized version of Saitama, more blue and with a larger mouth
Tenjiku: For this, I thought a couple Mr./Mrs. Tenjiku (or siamese brothers, it's the same), with Indian-like clothes
X-DAY: Same body as Koibumi, hostess-like clothes.
Hataraku: As already profiled, a REALLY stressed version of EkiBEN which turns into an alternate form due to rage (Like a red Hulk xD)
Kidaruma: A yellow cloud of a dharma. Simple!
Joubutsu: A gravestone, and a Saitama spirit with an halo and a yellow aura above the tomb.

HOLY WHAT?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
YOU DID IT lol

Anyway, waits for Lalala blahblah or whatever orz

ps1. Okay, Lockerz General redumpion is coming FFF
ps2.

さて…天妖は描けたけど旋風が難しいぞ。自分で考えておきながら描きづらいとか何なの

But... Tenyou is easy and Senpuu is hard... As I thought the concept, Some hard to draw or whatever

orz

Ah,that'll be my fault then (and possibly some of the artists in Pixiv too?)
Mirai's are chibi anthromorphic animals.So yeah.

@Zekira Dynamic Scrollspeed,yo!Some experts have HS4 on for pretty much all songs they play.
