@toxic911 Could you make a Classy Critque about forms and how to use them properly?
I think 2 of the best examples of forms being used correctly in media is from Dragon Ball and Naruto
The first is the 8 inner gates
Rock Lee is at a severe disadvantage against Gaara, so to catch up, he has to release 5 of the eight gates. The eight gates gives Lee the ability to completely ragdoll Gaara, and Gaara is left defenseless. But Rock Lee reaps what he sows, and did just about as much damage to himself as he did Gaara. The final attack wasn’t enough to finish Gaara, as the sand of his gourd softened the fall.
Let’s look at DBZ’s example.
Vegeta fights Goku, but Vegeta is vastly stronger than Goku, so Goku has to use Kaioken just to keep up. Goku power-ups with Kaioken, messing up his body in the process.
Vegeta is so mad, and so unused to a fair fight, that instead of easily finishing off Goku now that he’s messed himself up, he throws a fit, transforms, and tries to destroy the planet. Then Goku has to quadruple his power with Kaioken to overpower Vegeta, permanently damaging his body in the process.What makes these forms entertaining and good (atleast to me) is that the risk & reward are nearly equal, and the character only uses it under strict circumstances. The ability’s damage to the user is what helps raise the stakes, cause if the hero blows it, not only did you damage yourself, but now your opponent has a chance to damage you even more, as was the case with Rock Lee.
But I’d like to know your opinions on it.






This id actually like to see
Yes, I could certainly manage that! I haven’t really worked on Classy critiques much, as I’ve been stuck on the next installment with villains, and I’ve had college stuff to do. But I’ll keep it in mind!
