Talk:Usopp Tactics

Kabuto comparison
At first when I saw his kabuto I thought it was just a modified mancatcher. After reading this article I was actually surprised it wasn't mentioned. Long story short it seems too close a match to not be mentioned. Example here: photobucket.com/albums/v63/ndoki/kabutovsmancatcher.jpg Sorry if I can't post links, or did this discussion thing wrong, first time post. Ndoki 13:34, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

 * That's a really great find there. However, while they both share the same shape to a certain degree, how they are used are completely two different things. The Kabuto is basically a giant slingshot modified with Dials. The mancatcher on the other hand, is a long staff that ancient warriors use to catch enemies by hooking their necks in the spiked collar. In essence, Usopp's is a long range projectile launching weapon. The mancatcher is a spiked weapon that, despite it having some range, requires some close quarter maneuvering to be properly used.


 * They look the same but aren't the same. Maybe Oda in the future might talk about this comparison. Till then, the Kabuto=Mancatcher is speculative.Mugiwara Franky 13:48, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Help with the slingshot attack names
There seems to be a bunch of attacks in this section that have more than one version. My question is there a difference between a sure kill technique and a regular technique? I know there's a difference in sogeking attacks but as for the rest. Are they just the same technique with only Usopp shouting out Hissatsu or is there really a difference? I can't seem to remember exactly the techniques themselves.Mugiwara Franky 04:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there's a difference. Usopp will just randomly say "Hissatsu" in front of it, but it generally has the same effect despite whether he leaves it our or doesn't leave it out.

Hmm I was thinking about this and I think we shouldn't put the Hissatsu part. Attack names in Japanese have these commas " " to point out the attack, but in Usopp's case, the hissatsu (必殺) is never quoted. (examples below)--Odin89 13:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I see your point. So the techniques are just the same. The sure-kill part is not part of the actual technique name.Mugiwara Franky 13:42, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
