>>24536828>It has claws instead of flippers and a fan tail instead of the tail/back leg fusion actual sea lions have, and it doesn't have the streamlined bipedal anatomy that allows otters to swim.Sea lions swim significantly better than otters do and they're more quadrupedally structured than otters. Hell the earliest sea lion(puijila darwini) had the identical structure of a river otter and was less adept at swimming compared to it's modern relative. Bipedal anatomy doesn't really mean fucking shit.
>Samurott has the limb design of a fucking canine but with backwards hind legs, and can't even doggy paddle because it has to hold its swords in its front claws. >Implying it needs be padding when its portrayed to swim like a jet without it's hind legs>Implying it's fan-shaped tail doesn't help it propel in the water similar to Dolphin tailswhen its not using it's limbs to swim
Goddamn before shitting on designs you hate, do you even see them in action before bitching about it's anatomy? I swear this board is getting more idiotic as time passes.
>Aquatic combat may just be the one thing Samurott is LESS adept at than conventional land swordsmanship.Nah. It enhances it's swordsmanship and it capabilities of mobility. Cameron even mentions that his Samurott feels more like it's at home when it fights underwater after Marlon mentioned that about his Mantine.
>ib4animeashitOkay, care to show me an other official portrayal of Samurott swimming? Im waiting.
