[IC] GMK STRIKER | LIVE (04/25 - 05/18)

Just FYI. Samurai Blue is based on Kachi-Iro (勝色) not Kon (紺).
http://www.jfa.jp/eng/nadeshikojapan/news/00015472/

“KACHI-IRO” used to be widely preferred by samurai warriors πof Japan’s middle ages for their special clothes worn under their battle armours. It’s considered the darkest indigo-dyed colour and created by hitting cloths throughout the dyeing process. Hitting is translated as KATSU in Japanese language, and KATSU has the same pronunciation of the letter meaning victory. Certainly, those warriors and the following generations of Japanese believed the colour as a lucky charm brings victories to their battles and life itself.

How about Spirit of Victory?

Thanks for the insight!

I don't like having parts of my nickname on it. It distracts even more from what the set is really about.

勝色ストライカー
Victory Striker

勝色ストライカー
Victory Striker

Interesting proposals, I'll add them to my list.

[MFahim]

I suppose GMK Striker, by itself, sounds pretty nice. Victory Striker is a tad too long.

+1 on GMK Striker. I like that a lot.

GMK Shokunin; GMK Spirit

“One of the most important things I have learnt about in Japan is the spirit of Shokunin. It means craftsmanship, however it is much more than that. One of the essential things is to make something for the joy of making it, and to do it carefully, beautifully, and to your utmost best of your ability. In Japan one can see this in the incredible delicate designs, or amazing machinery, and even the pride and perfection of even the cleaning staff. Similarly for a student, designer, or technologist, if you can have the Shokunin spirit you can learn to strive for innovation and make something, not only think of something, but make it, to as much as possible perfection."

Would love to see you roll over the same pricing strategy as you are doing with Jamon here..

That strategy only starts to pay off at 500 Core kits. We would need a lot of luck for that to happen. I will consider this after Jamón ends

I don't think Victory Striker would be that long. But I think it's not that quite yet.

GMK Sambluerai. But I think it‘s a bit annoying to say, haha

No word plays mixing words, people will have a hard time guessing how it is pronounced.

• GMK Yataragasu
• GMK Striker / ストライカー
• GMK Nippon Ole
• GMK Sashiko
• Victory Striker / 勝色ストライカー (Takai pointed out about KACHI-IRO, and its symbolism)

[Puddsy]

I'm not supposed to give my opinion about the choices I selected BUT, I'm inclined to go with either Victory Striker / 勝色ストライカー (Takai pointed out about KACHI-IRO, and its symbolism) or just GMK Striker / ストライカー. Both are still football related.

Striker is shorter, 勝色ストライカー is more specific.

[Starston3]

Striker

[chuckdee]

Count my vote for Striker 

Perhaps Blue Striker or Striker Blue as alts if you want to include the color name in the set title.

[duxbridge]

I like Victory Striker

[kolyz]

I like GMK Sashiko

[Korseir]

or following the Food hype of Jamon and Percebe, GMK Blue Fin Tuna 

but in seriousness GMK striker sounds pretty good

"Saburai" is ancient pronunciation of "Samurai".
cf. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BE%8D#Etymology_1

 "Saburai Blue" sounds very similar to "Samurai" for Japanese speakers and can avoid infringing on a trademark.

"Saburai" would sound weird for most people that are out of the loop regarding this set.

[kokoon]

GMK Striker

[vicissitude]

How about "Nippon Blue"?

Same as Japanese blue. Just add some japanese pronunciation.

[rondg]

Nippon Striker?

I'm definitely going with something with striker on it.

[Korseir]

maybe even GMK Indigo Striker

I've decided to rename the set "Striker", as it is

As I had to change the name, many people will be out of the loop about it. So if you had on your signature a Samurai Blue banner, please swap it for the new one.

Makes sense, there's a GAT-X105 Strike Gundam.

Nice, now with the cool name, I hope for good 40s or at least split space support. Did you think about distribution? EU- Proxy?

Good news for those down under: Daily Clack will be the Australian proxy for Samurai Blue, with them here is a provisional list of vendors that will host the group buy for GMK Samurai Blue in May:

• Asia: Zfrontier
• Australia: Daily Clack
• Europe: Mykeyboard
• North America: Novelkeys

Sorry, missed this. Will shut upand wait for the GB.

[Zambumon]

Don't worry, it's easy to miss this stuff since it's not on the OP.  Once the kits are ready I'll update the OP with all the important info (including all the vendors)

Anaconda sent me this.

Of course, we all know that Asuka is best girl. But if you want a board themed with the inferior EVA-00, Striker could be a good opportunity for you.
