Reset is a slightly different sort of thing to Pause, Load/Save and Extra Lives, in that reset tends to be a function of the console, not the game. Course, that train of thought brings to mind the devastating possibility of Power On/Off.
...Nah, I'm pretty sure thats not gonna be there. xP

I think he probably either gain knowledge on using a weapon, or Cap just fight like a punk, which means he hits people with a beam sword the same way he'd just hit some guy with a baseball bat.
I dunno, I'd have thought he'd fight more like an amateur with images of martial arts/superhero/game fights in his head if he got no proficiency. Although, now I think of it, when it appears even in games, the beam swords general use doesn't really show much difference between finesse and batting. _________________ Ortus Denicalis

I don't think so. That kind of thing might work against run-of-the-mill criminals (not that the Captain ever really seems to fight any), but against a robot built with supersonic speed and programmed to fight? Not likely. _________________

Yeah, maybe Cap has some prior experiance with fighting outside of the video games anyway. It's possible, considering how he beat a certain Miss Kasugano in OCC. _________________ Apparantly, I'm like, off the vilg RESERVATION. Whatever that means.
That wouldn't necessarily be prior experience, though - OoC is set some time after the current stage of Digital Defender, after all. The Captain could have had some kind of combat training in the meantime. _________________

Guess he could have. Forgot about that.
In that case, I don't know what to say about Cap's fighting abilities. _________________ Apparantly, I'm like, off the vilg RESERVATION. Whatever that means.

True...on the other hand, looking at Mecha sonic in the games and considering the amount of times he's been fought against...sure, a fair few things about those fights are due to gameplay mechanics, but its hard to draw the line at how many of those would still be accurate for the one in the story. Often in the games, although Sonic CAN travel extremely fast, the battles are often not even close to that sort of speed.
Maybe its partly the way I described, along very quick reflexes, good hand-eye coordination and able to deal with sharp learning curves...those sorta qualities sound like they'd fit for a Gamer. :p Although, yes, he could easily have gotten some basic training, or intuitive knowledge too, but it really is hard to say and it could easily lie somewhere between the various points. _________________ Ortus Denicalis

One thing I hate about the Sonic the Hedgehog games is that Sonic does have a very high top seed, but but he is hardly "The Fastest Thing Alive".
AS for Cap, I like that hand-eye coordination theory, but I still wonder how that would translate from knowing which buttons to push in a high speed PS2 game, to being in a fast-paced, life threatening battle. _________________ Apparantly, I'm like, off the vilg RESERVATION. Whatever that means.
Good point, Koji. After all, gaming reflexes only really apply to things, such as games, which only actually require you to move your hands and fingers a short difference - between the buttons on a gamepad, or the keys on a keyboard. In a real-life fight, you're moving your whole body, often all at once. Quick thumbs aren't exactly going to help you there.
Oh, and to revisit your previous comment about the Captain beating Sakura in OoC - I just thought I'd mention that it has been revealed in the comic since then that he'd Linked with Ryu and gained his specific form of Ansatsuken, so it could be that he'd slotted in that Card, and then freshened it up a bit with some more Sakura-esque mannerisms to play with her head a little.
Speaking of recent revelations, in Chapter 6, the Captain mentions Mario Jump having a "cooldown time". Does this cooldown apply to all Game Cards, or just some? Of course, the cooldown could have just been thrown in as an excuse to have the Captain go tree-swinging.
On another note. While the Gamer Station does seem to be designed for Linking with game characters, what we've actually seen is Linking with Digitally Realized beings, or those with a strong link to Digitally Realized beings (ie, Proto and Mega Man, who, despite technically not being DR themselves, were still designed and built by Wily and Light). Could this mean that, should Digital Reality be used to create something other than a video game character, a Gamer Station would still be able to establish a Link? Something to think about, there. _________________

Wait, we know Cap didn't use Ankatsuken(or whatever) in that fight, because in the most recent OCC, we do see him use it, and his outfit changes.
And also, I don't see any reason why if There was a Digitall Reality comic character, or anime character, or somthing, why Cap wouldn't be able to get a Game Card for that. _________________ Apparantly, I'm like, off the vilg RESERVATION. Whatever that means.
Although he would likely have to call it an "Anime Card" or "Comic Card" or some such. Of course, this is all a moot point, as the author has stated that he'll only be using game characters in the stories, and there will be no chapters based on character from other media.
Also, you'll notice that in the last OOC comic, the Captain didn't just activate Ryu Ansatsuken, he also activated Mega Man's "Power Swap". It was that which caused the outfit change; logically, if he activated the Ansatsuken card on its own, it would cause no such outfit change.
