Can't argue there. It's Gold Ship, she's great
It’s more of a lifting feat than destruction ngl. I guess I’ll try to calc it (probably gonna be around Class M).
I was thinking of separate profiles for them. Mostly because the Anime has characters (the trainer guy) who doesn't appear in the game and is anime only. Crossovers would also get their own profiles.
Skill animation likely fall into game mechanics, since they're just animations when using the skills. What I do wonder is the skills they can learn that affect them can be used for abilities (Like stamina restoration, increase velocity, etc.)
yeah that's fair. i think the skill abilities would prooobably be fair game. they're sort of just like standard buffs/debuffs that most game characters have
Skill Animations are a visual representation of an Uma's desire to win, they aren't actually things happening during the race, but rather the mental effect it has on the Uma and the other racers (eg, pushing them to run further and faster, figuring out how to conserve stamina and striking fear into other Umas). The anime backs this up in pretty much every season, having aura envelop characters during crucial races, but Beginning of a New Era specifically has scenes that best resemble in-game skill animations (eg, Tachyon isn't actually popping a domain expansion or anything here, it's how she visualises coming to the realisation that she's reached the limits of her speed). None of the characters in the anime (or the game to my knowledge) ever acknowledge these scenes as anything out of the ordinary or supernatural either, which again suggests they're purely mental. If I had to give them anything at least, I'd say the debuff skills (and similar scenes in the anime) count as Fear Instigation through Social Influencing, as much as I'd like to say it's Aura.
I was thinking of using the various courses they race on and the times they get (It always comes to around subsonic speed), but then I found this video that shows Rice Shower racing against an Otritch, which clocks in at 70 km/h (43 mph) and keeping up with it which would make them superhuman like I usally calced when they race times. She also completely chiseled a rock with her bare fingers, which would make for a good feat. There is also this potential lifting feat, and it has a potential speed feat with the maze. Also, I remember hearing that Uma's acts like elves, so they could potentially have limited longevity.
Does it really? What exactly stops it from being just a secondary canon, similar to how Dragon Ball Heroes works?
I don't think there is any set Uma canon if I'm being honest, the anime's story follows Team Spica (Spe-chan, Suzuka, Golshi, Scarlet, Vodka, Teio, McQueen, Kita) whereas the game's main story follows Team Sirius (Oguri (Formerly), Golshi, McQueen, Rice, Tickezo, Brian, Suzuka, Spe-chan), not to mention all the various career modes and character specific stories, making it so the members of Sirius alone have 3 separate timelines in which they meet your trainer for the first time (not to mention the events where trainers seem to be absent completely and the Umas build their relationships together without you).
This all just follows real life history about the horses, where Oguri, Super Creek and Tamamo competed years before the protagonist of the other series (hence why in all the seasons and movies they treat Oguri as a legend), while Special Week story, or better said the Golden Generation of Japan horse racing, began competing in the classics one year before the events of Road to the Top (T.M Opera O, Top Road and Admire Vega) hence T.M Opera O saying at the end of the movie that next year they will began to compete with their seniors monsters known as the Golden Generation, then Beginning of a New Era happens two years later when the Golden Generation retired (or in the series terms went to the Dream League) and season 3 happens years after as Kitasan Black story is far more recent. It's for reasons like these that you never see Tokai Teoi competing against Special Week, nor see Kitasan Black runing with any member of her team besides Gold Ship (because Gold Ship was contemporary to her, which also explains why she never was shown runing alongside the others in season 1 and 2 besides the dream league final episode of season 1). It's just that Tracen Academy is a blackhole where time doesn't pass, as even by the series timeline Symboli Rudolf has been president for more than a decade, but all of these details are ignored in pro of telling the stories.
Uh, I already went over this prior, but no it's very much the opposite.
No one is denying that the series is just one big glorified history lesson, the point is that objectively, there is no one definitive Uma timeline due to their bizarre limbo world where no one ages over the course of a decade (bar certain Umas going from children to fully grown in the span of just a few years) and contradicting storylines (such as Team Sirius McQueen not even knowing Teio until they race each other for the first time), you're instead just encouraged to follow your favourite umas through whichever adaptation of their career you're following.
Not sure how seriously you want people to take you when your evidence is a montage of a musical video.
Dude, you said that as if Vodka didn't just randomly hurt her leg in the airport, an injury that prevented her from going overseas to compete in international races, or as if Super Creek tension problem wasn't a serious matter (to the point that winning any of the crowns before she recovering is considered a secret ending where they talk about the miracle of the trainer). The game not stopping you from building your umamusume due to their canon injuries (as that would remove a lot of turns you can play) is just game mechanics, because the purpose of the game is to farm a lot of umamusume until you get the traits you want for breeding your strong/pvp umamusume, so they let you just spend 1 round in the infirmary to heal anything and continue like normal, so this clearly is a game mechanics thing.
Yeah, doesn't change the anime and manga airing before than the game. Also, what do you even mean about being out longer? The anime has been out longer, and it receives new content yearly with new seasons, movies, ovas, spin-offs, etc.
???
1. Didn't insult you but pointed out a problem with your argument, there's an important distinction between the two. Also, I said that precisely after seeing the last part of the musical montage, so I fully meant it.
@SurelyYouJestin was overreacting, but the music montage still features canon training sequences, there is 0 difference between just showing them on their own vs the montage video. Later has the benefit of having all training scenes in a single video, so your comment was frankly pointless.
How can you still misunderstand their point so badly? They are saying that the game precedes and existed for longer than at least half of other medias, such as some seasons of the anime and mangas. Thats objectivly true. Wether or not that suffices as a argument for the game being the main canon is a different topic altogether. FGO is also just a terrible argument, considering that Fate operates on such a different axis as a franchise than 99% of fiction out there.
The whole topic of canoncity is a stupid argument. Its the games being the "main" canon and the animes and mangas being spinoffs with their own canon. Like have any of you read Cinderella Gray?? That series has its own power system with Umas there having different abilities than they do in game.
Can also include the fact that some from the Aura they emanate when focused can incite fear and worry towards other characters like the Rice Shower and McQueen in anime. and how most of the debuff skills are named after one using their charisma or glare/gaze to incite the effect
would work for amp. most of the debuff skills are actually a result of social influencing mid race or skill based manueuver. But some are actually decent, like Stamina Siphon or speed eater
I'll need more context of what we're "like elves" on this one
if we're going off the debuff skills and how they're described then i guess that's fair, but imo i think aura should only be limited to certain umas who have clearly shown it. like i wouldn't say someone like haru urara has the same aura as symboli rudolf or tamamo cross who literally make people sweat just with their presence
it's pretty much just how i described it, umas age normally during childhood and at a certain point (likely around their teen years) they just slow down drastically when it comes to their physical aging. the anime does a good job showing this, as in S2 we see tokai teio meet symboli rudolf as a child and by the time she attend tracen academy symboli rudolf still looks the exact same. tokai teio meets kitasan black as a child during this season, and by the time S3 rolls around when kitasan black is attending tracen academy herself tokai teio still looks the same, as does symboli rudolf
