Alright. In the past, I used to have something attached to my MSN nick, right next to the standard アンジェラス ラプタ Right at the personal message, was an enscribed Sync Ratio, followed by a percentage. Quite a deal of people have asked in the past as to what the Sync Ration represents, and what the numbers mean. And though I've decided to no longer have it there, well here's a bit of anime knowledge to you anime-ignorant dumkopfs.
Okay, it's actually Neon Genesis Evangelion. But it is anime.
Anyways,
In NG Evangelion, the super-cool mechs are piloted by a unique method. Instead of a standard physical contol (keypad, joystick etc), the Evangelion cockpit consists of detectors to read off the brainwaves of the pilots. They're controling the mech by thinking of it. Coolness, eh? I think Eva walk, and the mech walks. I think Eva jumps, the Eva will jump. I think Eva do a danc - *smack*
Okay. You get the idea. So the pilot controls the Evas by thoughts. However with the present advances in the NG Evaverse, brainwaves picking occurs in a spectrum of frequency intensity. Some of the waves are caught, some doesn't. And how much the Eva reacts to these brainwaves, which when at the Eva's best, would depend on how hard (and focused) the pilot is. The relationship between how immediate and efficient the Eva reacts to the pilot's thoughts is known as the Syncronization Ratio.
Oh my God, I sound like a geek. Hey, at least I don't try to make the theories of DBZ as feasable as it could to the real world.
To sum it up, Sync Ratio is how well the pilots of Evangelions can make their mechs react, move, jump, turn, swing, flick a finger etc etc. Sometimes the pilot syncronizes well, sometimes the pilot doesn't. And by some means, there is a numerical system to gauge how well one is syncronizing with the Eva.
Well. That's how I feel sometimes.
At times I feel my soul is well versed and "synched" to my physical self. Feel good feel. Confidence in every step. At other times, I feel disconnected from myself. Making me feel like the body moves, but not at the will of soul. And that sucks.
Well, now you know. And you actually know a little more of Evangelion. Have a cookie.
A presentation tomorrow. And another on Wednesday. Which me, Boon, and Melvin (my class buddie) have yet to do anything about it. I guess I'll go break legs or something.
