That's it, time for "KATOMA, SPEAKS, SENSE!" the (not so) Game Show where we compare everyrace AND their updates for V4!!!!
We Start off with hier Bounto, one of the newly populated races that has recently gained a lot of attention within recent weaks with the awakening of the "Bounto Organization" Started up by one "Katoma" (me), which will be an official Organization (as in it's own maps and bonuses) as of V4. The Bounto of V4 will have Bitto (A piercing attack, which means Anti-Sado) which drains HP/Rei of the opponent supposedly, and gives it to the Bounto.
In addition the Bounto will have "Seal Release", although this was originally ment to be a Simple Cero-Like attack, there are good chances of it actually becoming the equivalent to Will of the Demon or Rousengantai, where in it causes a strategical boost for the Bounto.
The Most famous and strategic part of the Bountos without a doubt would be the Regen. At 2.5%, at 100k HP you're recovering 2,500 HP a second. Although this is half as much as it used to tank damage, this is easily useable by the most skilled bounto who have majored in the art of flash-stepping. This allowed the Bountos to easily be THE hardest race to defeat, as one cannot hope to follow the way of the IchinOOb, spamming Getsugas left and right without serious consideration. This is in part the source of the complaints, IchinUbs, again.
Bountos themselves all have strategical boons, it's knowing how to use these boons that make them an amazing force in battle (anyone could tell you how I could walk in front of Earth Hospital and remain out there for up to a half hour before retreating due to a lack of Reiatsu, due to I'm a Wind Bounto and EVERYTHING takes up Reiatsu.)
The Headliner of the Bountos is the wind Bounto. The Doll of Kariya in the anime, it utilizes Wind and controlling it to massacre in battle. With it's Wind Licht Schneide which is a powerful Getsuga, and with The Elec Wave of Mastered Form, it is handsdown the most difficult of all the Dolls, no, basically all the classes, to defeat. If an opponent keeps their distance, intelligent dodging and aiming with Wind Licht could easily massacre them, and if they get close, mixing Wind Licht and Elec Wave would be just as dangerous for the foe.
The Next Bounto Doll would be the Fire Doll. The Doll of Yoshino, it specializes in a special Kidou-Like attack, the Fire Ball. In Mastered Form, this doll gives an Ichigo Sized Speed Boost and a Defense Boost (along with another boost I forget), making this arguable the most strategy focused Doll. The idea is to use your defense to get into your foe's face and hit them with a fireball, while also attacking them normally by running around them in circles. Of course nOObs will just hit, run away and keep their distance while Regenerating, then come back and continue their assault, classic IchinUb x2 (I swear if I catch anyone abusing this when I get GM back I'll consider it abuse..)
The Next Two Dolls are the most difficult, and arguably the most effective in sheer power.
Sword Doll is relatively harmless until it obtains mastered Form, in mastered form a sword bounto gains Life Shaver, which shoots 6 blades doing massive amounts of damage, enough to 1-hit most players. However being a Single-Tile, nOObs consider it, like Fire Bounto, weak, due to they couldn't aim if their life depended upon it.
The Metal Bounto has the most sheer force, in V4 you can optionally use Dalk's Axe Form, Yay for us! The Key point of this doll is it MASSIVELY boosts your attack power. And I mean MASSIVELY. It's ultimate attack is best used on nOObs who never pay attention to the chat box in battle (See: Spam Kill nOObs). You could just chase them while prepping metal ball, they rarely know what hit 'em (happened to me twice too..)
And in V4, we encounter a new Doll, Water Bounto.
Although the details are minor, we know it has it's own Sai-Attack AND has a "Water Cero", making it another 'nOOb Hated" one, due to it's Sai probably won't even last long, and nOObs hate things with 1-line attack that's not spammable (Quincy NoOBs *COUGH*).
On the case of Sados, we got a powerful class here. At low levels they got power Blast, which does more than their other attacks by far with ease. At a Fair Level they Gain El Directo, which in V4 is going to be an AoE attack, Like Kariya's Elect Field, Just not so spammable. And with the Reflect, most classes are FORCED to get into a Sado's face, making El Directo meat easily (although then they're left with such a huge delay anyone who didn't eat Directo would kill them easily). With La Muerte, you get a powerful, semi-spammable blast that does huge damage, and with Will of the Demons Tagged on, you just really can't lose (I tried, the CLOSEST I got was with Byakuya and Renji Bankais, but even then it takes FOREVER!)
Although Bountos are more adaptable (And viewed as more powerful because now there's a LOT more Bountos than Sados, which is why we all View Shinigamis are broke, 20 Shinis for each member of another race basically), the Sados are basically more powerful in V4. Although Bitto Might be their saving grace...
katomo just proved how classes are all un equal
Actually this post was more to show that bounts and sados are fairly powerful, while the new sado changes will just make em more so XD until recently, i've seen TWO bounto at the most, now theres 15-16 online at 1 time

Basically this comparison post is to show the usefulness of every race other than shini, which attracts the most n00bs because of ichigo shiban
