Sully Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 Update time. I'm over the half way mark (I think, depends on how much I add). I've done some more character development giving names to people who'll appear later in All Things Change when the story goes back to Area 51. Allison (that was her name) is now more of a character and will not be simply forgotten about in later stories. In thinking about this, once the rewrites get more complete I'll be making a character bio page that will give more information about the characters in use in the story, but while I think this is a good idea it's something that I'll not be doing just yet, most likely I'll look to doing this once Union, Time War, Revenge and Rescue are completed. Overall I like how the story is going, I need to revisit it before I post it as there are parts that need more detail. But the story reads better and makes more sense. Martin and the Grakken are defeated a little more easily than before but in the end Time War was never really about either of them. In saying that the lead up to it is longer than before so it evens out a bit. I'm getting close to the part Warrior Guyver redrosts Solom, so once that happens we get to the good stuff. Can't really give an ETA as of yet but it's coming along which is the important thing.
Primitive Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Agreed, its always important to just tredge forward at your own pace then the pace of others.
Weltall2 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Agreed, its always important to just tredge forward at your own pace then the pace of others. That's true. However Primitive this site has been active for a decade, and for roughly 4 of those years Nothing new was posted. Now I am not blaming Brian in the least. It's just I am slightly skeptical the Fiction will ever be completed, as I am sure other here are. I enjoy the fiction immensly I have been on this MB for 7+years. The fiction at best is a little past a 1/4 complete it just seems like we may never see the fiction complete. Now I have some gaurded optimism about the sites recent activity. I just hope it doesn't go into life support mode again.
largo Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 lol weltall you worry to much with the way the changes are going it allows a new generation of writers to come in and write so once that happens we might see more movement. Also lets not forget at the moment all of the WG universe writing is on brain. So if it takes awhile so be it, I've been reading since back on the old tripod site so fanatical loyalty generally gets us all through the slow time.
Sully Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 This site won't ever be going that inactive again unless we finish the story and simply stop.. Yup there was a period when not much was posted or done and I completely lost interest in the story. Thanks to Takaya re-capturing my interest in making a good proper not overpowered story I'm back basically. the site has being getting constant updates for over a year now though still needs a lot of work. As you can see Matt's back being active... Allen is lucking somewhere and James is around somewhere. The re-write thats hit my storys are a lot more extensive than I orginally planned (though Time War needed it so for me it works fine). Don't worry guys I an't going anywhere this time. Story wise I'm at the point Solom has recovered in modren times. It'll be a nice meet between Jason and him. Thanks for the support guys!
Weltall2 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I appreciate that Brian. I hope you understand my skepticism. I am happy real progress is being made, and as a result I am now posting and trying to, well let's say promote this site. You would be surprised how many people their are who have never seen guyver, and when you tell them about it they perk up. Really I trully believe Guyver would be infinitly more popular if promoted. Anywho I am glad this site has a pulse again, and I hope it continues on the current path.
guyverfanatic Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I always be here to support you guys! This site is awesome!

Really I trully believe Guyver would be infinitly more popular if promoted.Anywho I am glad this site has a pulse again, and I hope it continues on the current path. It happens. Over the past 15 years, I have seen great sites just take a nose dive when it came to the upkeep and updates of the sites. Some are still around but never updated and some no longer exist. So those websites that have been around since then and even has a update every once a year or ever other year is better than nothing. I also understand those who were worried about the rewrites and Chronicles. I was directly involved in two sites that attempted this and failed. I was part of the group that was going to update warships1.com, but that fell through and the site shut down. Now only navweaps.com remains and is a former shadow of it once was. Another was Utopia Planitia 3 which anyone from 15+ years ago remember if they like Trek is that Utopia Plantia was one of the original Star Trek sites dealing with starships only. That also fell through.
Sully Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Ok the story continues to be re-wrote. It's a little slower than planned because I've had to change events a little but is working out well. I'm at the moment at the point where Solom has awoken and explained who he is and his relationship with Jason's Unit. Galen won't this time have a meaningless fight with Warrior Guyver's shielding. At the moment I can't give and estimate on when the fiction will be done but I'm well over the halfway mark and I'd say there is about 1/3 of the story left to go. Looking ahead Time War 5 though will grow a lot compared to what is was before as it has to wrap up events of the last 4 parts of the story as well as what it did in the past.
Destroyer Guyver Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Awwww but I thought Galen trying to tickle WG with his head laser was sooo cute Looking fowad to reading when its done Sully.
Sully Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Awwww but I thought Galen trying to tickle WG with his head laser was sooo cute Looking fowad to reading when its done Sully. It was cute... but overall crappy battle. Things will be more interesting when they are hunted down by Chronos!
Sully Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 So what stories can be read as is? All of them can be read as is. If you're on about stories that have being re-wrote. Time War parts 1 to 3 are the new parts of the re-wrote story, part 4's preview is at the start of this and is still being rewrote. 7 Days Part 7 was wrote taking into account what would be re-wrote and has the correct power levels for the Gigantic Guyver for example.
McAvoy Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I guess if you really wanted is to pretend the power levels of the Gigantic is much higher as well in the older stories until their rewrites are done. Though Matt Bellamy's WG2 & WG3 fight vs. Kron will be different. Come to think of it, the first fight between WG3 and Kron should be different as well. Agito is no fool to think he can take on Kron who is more powerful than a Gigantic whereas the WG unit is half as powerful as a Gigantic. Perhaps he thought he could take on Kron with two Gigantics and himself.
*zeo Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Though Matt Bellamy's WG2 & WG3 fight vs. Kron will be different. Not too much, though a Gigantic added to the mix would make it more interesing, since while a WG's may be less powerful than Gigantics but aside from the Smashers and Power Amps the difference is not so great unless the Gigantic goes Exceed. WG's for example are extremely fast and can teleport more easily than a Gigantic. WG's also regenerate faster and are harder to kill even if defeated. Not to mention abilities that even a Gigantic doesn't have, like cloak, adapting to new threats and even developing immunity to things like Enzyme acid, etc. Like without using the back thrusters Sho had a tough time keeping up with the Branchai Bros and we've basically never seen the Gigantic go super sonic, even though we assume it can (at least with the back thrusters). Remember also as WG2's that both WG2 and WG3 can channel their CPMs internally for a 2x power boost to their strength and speed, and that can help them go over the 5x we're assuming for Gigantic physical strength. Still less than Kron's physical power level but two on one combined with their superior speed means they can at least hold their own for awhile and they were probably assuming Kron would be more vulnerable to physical damage if they could get in with their swords. Most Zoalord's we've seen haven't been immune to physical damage, most of them can just take a lot of damage as long as their Zoacrystal had energy reserves... Except for Purgstall who was more vulnerable to physical attacks. It's just getting past the barrier field that may be tricky but they can't keep that up forever and have to consciously raise it... Even then Guyot had trouble surviving a single Mega Smash from G3. While Imakarum could have been killed a few times by Sho if he didn't hesitate, like when he fired a Giga Smasher at him or when he had the Gigantic sword right up to his neck and backed off both times and of course Agito nearly killed him and would have if he hadn't run out of power and the Gigantic came off. Also Kron was toying with them as he could have just nuked them early on in the fight... Perhaps he thought he could take on Kron with two Gigantics and himself. Two Gigantics, especially if at least one would go Exceed, can pretty much take on even Archanphel. So yeah, that would definitely boost Agito's opinion on his chances... Though WG's being extremely hard to kill also means he can more easily risk going up against beings more powerful than himself and still expect to survive...
McAvoy Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I think most knew that Kron was toying with them and probably wanting to test his new powers as well. I think in the new rewrite Kron would have to bring more Bio Titans to fight to even it out since in the original version Bio Titans and Gigantics were about equal. Now a Gigantic can probably kill a Bio Titan in a reasonable amount of time to help WG3. Especially since FG3 is in self defense mode at the time. Also in 7 Days, it does seem that Kron is more powerful than he was originally. I'm just saying this because Zeus was fighting Zarfel on near even terms and the two Gigantics as well. So if Zeus can fight Zarfel where originally he could not, then Kron should be up there in power as well.

So if Zeus can fight Zarfel where originally he could not, then Kron should be up there in power as well. This is exactly why the fan-fiction needs re-writing. Yes some of the power levels have indeed changed, not just Gigantic Guyver's. Zeus and Kron both are more powerful than previously and would be close on an overall raiting to 80% to 85% off off Dreadnought in the rewrite. A Gigantic will splat a Bio-Titan with relitive ease now compared to before one on one. But a Bio-Titan has being designed with the Gignatic in mind as much as it was desgined to take on a Warrior Guyver's firepower. In groups of 5 or more Bio-Titans combined firepower will make life hard for a Gigantic Guyver. Gigantic Guyver would have to get them into small groups and kill off 1 or 2 at a time or risk using his Giga-smasher and hopefully killing them at the expense of maybe losing his armour has it recharges. Zeus will have a lot more story before Dreadnought shows up in the re-write. in fact the whole Dreadnought angle will happen differently this time completely, Zeus will be the main power character on the good side along with Zeugma for most of All Things Change, Dreadnought (as in "the Real" Warrior Guyver) only appears towards its end and will not be there minus the Dreadnought armour for a who is the real WG plot, the real story is Lorcan (see what Faye said in 7 days) and what happens with the Mercs before the Grakken and Chronos attack. Psi-Guyver will stil be the most powerful ACTF Guyver for awhile and will have more of a story struggling with the idea and the loss of her brother and not knowing if he's out there somewhere or some psycho. All This bringing things back on topic is linked to Time War and the events it kicks off. Speaking of which, I'm now at the part where Galen joins the story properly and is talking with the other characters in the story. I'm over 3/4's the way done looking at the page count. I woudln't get too excited just yet as the re-write itself of part 4 needs one of it's sections re-wrote (the Female Guyver 2 vs Guyver 1 story in the alternative reality and Cyber Guyvers first intro to the story needs to be redone still, though that shoudln't take too long it requires me to do it at home and watch the vid a few times of Guyver Out of Control).
Sully Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 I'm on page 37 of 40 in the rewrite of Part 4. Basically that means "soon" I'll be putting up the next part of the re-wrote Time War Part 4 (formally part 1). At a rough guess I'd say we're looking at the weekend after next (so not Good Friday weekend which is tomorrow) for the next part to be published. This weekend I "should" if no one in the family blows up their computer get time to put in the part from Guyver Out Of Control and add in Cyber Guyver. Once that is done, and I finish the rewrite proper I'll give the story a redraft after reading the whole story again from the new part 1 till the end of part 4 (anyway I need to do that so I know what I'm doing for Part 5 and what plots need to end there). Anyway, important thing to note... the site will not be closing any time soon Weltall2

Sully Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 FYI it will be going up this weekend. Finished it this morning on the train into work . I'll give it a review over the weekend to make sure it works right with the past 3 parts and maybe add some more little bits to it. But nothing that should prevent it being put up later in the weekend (won't be tonight as I'm going to see Thor!).
Sully Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 I'll continue to use this topic now for Part 5 updates. I've read and re-read part 5 before even trying to do anything with it over the last few days. Overall I'm happy with the action parts of the story that are still there from years ago. So far all I've done for the first two pages is just correct text and formatting so it's like the later fics (7 Days). Saying that there are some major changes due for this story. 1st as per part 4 Guyver US never goes back to HQW after being in Area 51, he's in Europe with a team of the 131'st and 5th Armoured along with Galen and Solom. So that story will play out through Part 5 (though it will not end until we're into the Revenge story). Needless to say, they are all stranded in Europe, so are cut off from help (I'm sticking with traditon here, so they are also cut off from help by the Gigantic unless Sho discovers a way to teleport which he hasn't in the manga). Max (aka GuyverC) will fill in where Guyver US is now not there in the story giving him a larger part before the Revenge story.
Azaar Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Sounds excellent so far. I really do need to read through Time War now thoroughly to see how you expanded upon it.
