Uh oh that's not good to hear considering I got a twoside coming in Tuesday but it's coming with bat, holy, perfect, memorial bat and spider all for 105 so idc lol

@@kamenriderchase4048 Oh yeah no man, goes without saying this is just my opinion. Enjoy what you want.

@@kamenriderchase4048where do you buy

EXACTLY! thats a good point, gotcha driver has a lot to show in future, desire driver its getting limited of sounds because of the less items we can get, 2 or 3 buckles just can unblock less sounds than the gotcha can, even if we can´t just buy lots of items from japan to USA or in my case, Mexico. thats too expensive, gotcha driver is going to be my first driver and im exited to have it in my colection, lots of cards with out taking big space in my desk

Build non best match doesn't make any sounds like gotchard

@@zorrenkd The Gotchard suits don't allow for any mixing and matching.

of course it wont get allowed the series focuses on alchemy, emotions and the chemy are literal living beings. so their compatibility is extremely limited. the pros and cons to this is that they can sell so many cards however its not as fun as ooo, build or w in the matter of letting you mixed and match

Geats was peak mix and match, build is close but the playability/fidget toy feel of the raise buckles and the ability to make your own ID Core without messing up the henshin in any way is just super cool

Bro same here. I thought I was alone thinking like this!

I liked the second standby more

ruined? it gets better

@@shiku6901The second sounds so cool, it really gives this feeling like “Check this shit out you ain’t seen nothin yet”

Wrestler G + AntTrooper = AntWrestler

Burning Gorilla Like Ryunkendo?!

DokkiriMajin + GutsShovel = DokkiriShovel

I'm largely indifferent towards the Desire Driver and yeah it seems like the Gotchardriver is just catching flack for having to follow up the Desire Driver which a majority of the fanbase loved.

Like you said, it's a retread of something both the W and Build drivers did better. They're more interesting, come with the stuff needed to actually make the forms on the box, and aren't making you pull for the bottles or memories. In terms of playability it's literally just a square you push two cards in and it makes a noise. All the actual work went into the cards. And you can't even sleeve the cards up to protect them while you use them on top of them sticking out of the driver.

@@Nocturne989 I don't think the W and Build Drivers did it better at all. The W Driver especially. The W Driver is just visually boring. It's red and really out of place with the gimmicks, if I'm being honest even if it's still a good belt. In fact- if you try using any Memory that isn't the ones W used in show in that belt and it immediately crumbles apart (thereby removing A LOT of playability). The T2 Memories are wonky on it, the Dopant Memories are wonky on it, they had to make a Kamen Rider Joker version of the Joker Memory because it timed wrong if you used the one that came with the W Driver on the Lost Driver. The Build Driver just has the classic rail system issue of something having issues reading things. The Gotchardriver's lights and helmet matching gimmick is WAY more fun than what those two had to offer. There's a sense that you're actually merging the cards into a combo. Design-wise, I disagree on it being 'just a square'. Again, to me it's like the Vision Driver. It's very slick and doesn't stick out a lot like previous belts where gimmicks made it the width of a person (hyperbole here but still). In every sense of the word, the Gotchardriver is an improvement over those two. You don't HAVE to pull the cards. All of the roleplay toys come with them, which is something Build also did. Are there SOME you can't get? Sure. But you don't have to buy the packs to get cards. That aside- every card pack box garantees you a Parallel and a Level 10 card. All of them do that. And these are CARDS, a box of packs literally costs the same as a singular Vistamp; you get about 5 combos for that price. It's insane. As someone who has bought said box, I'm very satisfied with how they're handling things so far. Card sleeving issues isn't new. Decade had the same problem. I admit this is a bigger issue but so far, the driver hasn't scratched my cards so I'm fine with this problem too. I just put them back in the sleeves afterwards. They only stick out the driver because people push the things on the side too hard when doing a finisher, which is how the belt removes the cards. If you just push enough to trigger the finisher they don't pop out and even when they do it's so negligeable. The belt still reads them and it's not like they're shot out. The Gotchardriver isn't perfect by any means and the criticism is valid but it feels like people are looking way too hard into these issues when the past belts have had similar problems and yet are overlooked.

Easiest way to describe it is that past drivers have more "seeable" moving parts. Gotchard driver looks aesthically pleasing, but it doesn't "feel" or "sound" as satisfying because the user isn't doing much on top of the driver itself, not doing much. W driver "feels" like you're doing something because doing the gimmick has the driver visual change into a new position similar thing with other drivers mentioned in this thread. Even saber feels like you are doing alot because of the moving parts of the books along with the sword

@@reikurokaze3988 " driver "feels" like you're doing something because doing the gimmick has the driver visual change into a new position similar thing with other drivers mentioned in this thread." The Build Driver doesn't have this and even other belts like the Decadriver and the Zero-One Driver have this issue. Yes the Build Driver has the gears that move but that's it. That aside- the Gotchardriver ALSO has this. Again- the cards coming together to form a helmet. To me, that's very satisfying.

I am judging it on its own merits

@@thomasjujube I was mainly refering to the comments, they kept comparing it to the desire driver and it was bugging me

It's the plain, boxy nature of the belt that bothers me personally. It's like a giant ugly slab tablet or something. It's not a huge deal to me tho, even if I'm not a big fan of the belt itself, I love the suit, so it kinda evens out. It's kinda the opposite of Zero One where I dug the belt, but wasn't a huge fan of the neon yellow on the suit.

@@TheBrotherGrim see, I wish most the comments here were like this, giving an actual reason as to why they don't like the belt, rather than just "it's not the desire driver"

They did not

@@thomasjujubeI messed around with some of the Gotchard cards in my CSM version 2 Decadriver and it does recognise some cards as final attack rides. It’s like half of the barcode that happens to be the same, but yeah there’s never exact copies.

Youre telling me the same barcode system will inevitably have overlap between the series that use it?

@@BlazingKhioneus When you put it like that, yes it’s obvious there will be overlap eventually. But I personally just find it harmless fun to play around and discover what specific cards overlap with different devices.

@@kuraihikari5785 Yeah. I was mainly getting at how Toxic seemed to be painting that as a bad thing/a sign of laziness.

Saber just suck ass Long ass jingle and cringe henshin

Yeah me too maybe everyone perceives to be a downgrade to geats maybe?

I just got my driver today and it is super unreliable, 99% of the time it doesn't read the cards no matter how I do it. Meanwhile my desire driver that I've been playing with fairly regularly since last September only has read errors like once every 3 months

Inserting a card and pulling the sides is the only similar feature

@@thomasjujube what else does it do aside from open up and allow the ktouch functionality?

Those rumors seem to be false.

@@thomasjujubeno clearly decade is hotarou’s father

@@thomasjujube how are they false?

@@kae1971 he is not in the show. It was a misunderstanding

Nah, the card are also bad because you spend yens/dolars to get the card you want

@@denysvision I was talking about the card art denys

But yeah, all fanboying aside, glad there's room for speculating, logic, experimenting etc. The fun really is evenly distributed and, in a way, I'm glad.😊😌 (Also my girlfriend LOVES the Gotchard theme song CHEMY×STORY, when I shared it with her on our Discord server)

Lol

Idk maybe because the chemies are more like actual monsters you can summon at will.

@@serpentblader0957 The chemies being summonable monsters is not relevant to the big ass decker being an awkward wrist strap. You can strap the the card decker on the belt strap and it would feel less awkward pulling the card out.
