I just felt it lame for her to just have one style... and the only move we've been shown is her unique kessagiri. Which is a basic slash truth be told. At least in theory.
Basically she's the static powerhouse in canon. what I wanted was to make her more... dynamic. |

Like I said it doesn't have to be better or worse, it's up to you, and when in doubt, ask MOAR.
Here's my viewpoint: she's not static, none a bit. However she develop her style so one sword can be used on everything, the dynamic came from how she analyze her opponent's weakness then adapt her combat style to match it. For the sake of honor, she ditched practicality and convenience.

My interpretation has chifuyu learning more and more about how others fight as she continues her IS battles. She always fights with her own traditional style at first, but when pushed will adapt even foreign styles like sword and shield, or if required will take up a handheld rifle or some other ranged equalizer.
She'd have experiences of losing battle despite being the best and she starts to have this view of herself where she is, "An IS pilot first, and a swordswoman second.". Again, maybe like your reference to musashi miyamoto. But she still strives to win with purely kendo as much as possible. |

Although it doesn't really occur as much for you; you get some feedback as well and everyone else is more engaged when they talk with you.

Anyway, that scene I mentioned a few pages ago... It's related to the last 2 I posted a while ago. Autumn Solo Training And here it is. Spoiler for Infirmary:

Hmm, if it was me, I'll have the ironic karma of the would-be-rapist injured, coincidentally shielded her from drone explosion
(Yeah, I have a VERY SPECIAL place in my heart for a sexual offender) Kyrios? Oookay now I remember that... then again I gushed more about it's flight mode @ Jak I swear god you're the most authentic fanfic writer EVER, that scene matched Izuru, or at least, BT Translation of it, very well. One can duplicate it word to word, but matching the style is different kettle of fish.

Usually yeah
There are many reason why a protagonist MUST lose once a while, especially in shonen fighting. Character development, plot etc. There are exception to this, where the invincibility of the protagonist is tied to plot AND moving the plot, Medaka Box, Star Driver, Golgo 13 etc. It's really a gamble, Sturgeon's law is in full effect.

I see... Then I'm going to have to be really careful.
Can you give me your opinion on Chifuyu using different stances? Stratos, strigon, jak and any of the registered visitors too. Blitz kind of disapproved and I can actually see where he's coming from. Is it that uncalled for when Chifuyu learns to use a sword and shield? Does it feel like knowing how to switch between two handed to dual wielding seem practical? Or am I more stroking my own ego? Ugh @_@. EDIT: oddly enough I wanted Chifuyu to use the libing metal sword, Seizan as her preferred blade. It's more or less the same as any Uchigane sword but it can regenerate and grow stronger when broken. But it rarely breaks anyway |

Once again, I'm not disapproving it.
Here's my advice: do NOT change her principle, regardless of equipment change. It does sound hypocritical considering what I do in case of Ichika and Madoka, so it's okay to disregard this is you still want to. Here's more clue to support your idea: We don't see any problem for her of using ranged weapon in the case of white knight, yet >50% of the missile is taken down using her sword rather than more practical approach with particle cannon. ICBM is 5000+ km/h at it's peak, so even with I.S., it's a dumb move, when she couldn't get them all, she use the cannon to swipe the rest. Chifuyu is not against using any other equipment, it's just that her preference is trusty two handed sword style.

I'd look to Zero from Megaman X. Granted, he uses a laser sword that can be manipulated in various ways but even so... you'd realise that each sword mode is utilized in its own unique way.

The closest I've seen is her using a Katana from an Uchigane to stop Laura... With her bare hands... Quote:
And does it needs to be extended? Cause I feel that it does, but I don't really know how to extend it... Little help? |

As for the extended scene, I guess you could go with them regain consciousness and having a pep talk with CCs.

If there is a way, how would one sense life inside something/someone?
I remembered Jak mentioning about Inami seemingly emotionally-driven when going up against drones, which is kinda true seeing as he sees them as mere robots. Then again, I want to develop on that part of him too, a way make him realize that just because something does not appear human does not mean that they do not have the consciousness of one. There's already a character set to talk this sense into him but its the eventual battle that will flesh out this part that I'm trying to figure out.

If you have sentient computer handy, it will help
No matter how advanced, a nonsentient-AI controlled robots behave differently than the one with sentient AI or pilot. However, the difference is sometimes so sligth that it might not be even there for most people, especially if said nonsentient AI is put on the same kind of advanced computer, or the pilto is purposefully brainwashed person. Ichika managed to deduce that Golem are without pilot after synching with ByakuShiki circuit and analyze the golem's movement in both technical and practical aspect. Rin and Shenlong are too busy to notice, somehow.

Edit: Zero, about what you said on that pep talk to extend the scene... Not what I'm going after... And as for telling if there's a human piloting something that doesn't appear human, I think it's more of humanly action. Or better yet, what Zero said about the A.I. |

It does set things up for an eventual revelation. Though I do have a feeling that the CCs would be left hanging with just the date at the end without ever knowing its relation to Hot Shot. @Strigon He doesn't get to pilot an IS, unfortunately. @Zero He has an AI program on board the Minerva, only not a sentient one. Then again, he would've seen a lot of battles with non-sentient AI drones that he would be able to notice anything off if he goes up against a sentient AI. Still, the battle actually brings both parties to realize who/what they're actually fighting against. If there's a cul-- inspiration for this supposed scene, it would be this.(from Ep 3 of Gundam UC, in case anyone's spoiler-wary) Oh wow... How am I supposed to read that graph?
