What is this? Gundam Versus is the latest entry in the 15 year old Gundam Vs. franchise. The franchise is an arcade battler with The Gundam Vs. series is a staple of Japanese Arcades, people lining up to play the newest version even months after it has been out is not an uncommon sight. The newest entry is a console only release. Isn't this a fighting game? Yes and no. The Versus series is a teambased, arena shooter/fighter that is somewhat resembling to Virtual-On. Others compare it to Dissidia. The game has combos and healthbars and other poo poo, but it's not your typical hadoukenfest. Oh is this that pod game.. No, not that one. That's called Senjo no Kizuna and it only had a PSP port. What is Gundam? Go read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam Gundam is a longrunning mecha anime plastic model franchise about WAR and ROBOTS and LOVE and other stuff. It is sort of like a Star Trek of Japan, it got canceled prematurely, grassroots fan support got it to a film adaptation and the ensuing success cemented it to be the best status. The series is also famous for being a goldmine for Namco Bandai in the form of plastic models. Gundam Plastic Models are the bomb and very, very addictive. Friends at ADTRW have a thread for the anime: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3746278 and the plastic models http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3678195 Do I need to have watched all of that? Nope. You can enjoy the game without watching an episode. What mobile suits are in it? http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Gundam_Versus Here's a list of all the suits you can have When is it coming out? September 29th in the European colonies and American territories of Zeon. Does it have online multiplayer? Hell yeah! That's the point of this whole release.

I was wondering when a thread for this would pop up. I downloaded it and tried to play it after scrolling for 10 minutes through through the unskippable terms and conditions aaaaaaaaand it said 'service is unavailable' I'll try again later I guess.

Does this game have Rainbow Step or a similar mechanic? Extreme VS Full Burst added it, and I thought it really made the game for me; the ability to have intense YOLO dash-dodge battles as a last-ditch survival effort was great.

Yeah, stepping to cancel attacks is still in. Rushdown combat in general is quite a lot better than it was previously, despite universal assists being a great way to stuff it. The US beta wasn't patched up to date with the current JP patch so folks got to experience how busted The O assist and ZZ Gundam were. Hopefully they fix that appropriately for the full release.

Are these games really anal about the performance stats of machines or can you have match ups like a Zaku 1 vs the Turn A and still have a fair fight?

For the purposes of balance costs are generally considered have their own internal tiers, for example the Marasai is a 200 and performs quite highly within it's class. It can be a good pick regardless of what you're playing against. Ultimately though a higher cost suit is expected to outperform lower cost ones by design. This sounds bad, but this is a team based game so your composition is ultimately what matters. There are bad suits within every cost tier, but you don't really have to get too worried about that level of balancing until you start getting real good at the game. It's easier to notice the value of the many subtle movement tricks/tools/combos/etc the more you play.

Didn't play in the beta, but how were the assists in the gameplay? Were they all projectiles of some sort, or did they have multiple functions/uses? Also it says assists are finite and recharge with bursts, do they not recharge after reviving from a death? Archenteron posted:Gundam fighting game, no G Gundam characters, absolute horseshit. I was wondering if the cast was gonna be small when I read this, but in looking it up, yeah it seems like it's got an okay cast that is just completely missing G. Weird?

Ventana posted:Didn't play in the beta, but how were the assists in the gameplay? Were they all projectiles of some sort, or did they have multiple functions/uses? They refill on death as well. Assists can be projectiles (Guntank is basically the Guntank assist the RX-78 had in full boost, for example), but they can be other things as well. Doan's Zaku comes out and does his big ol' punch, which can be surprisingly useful. The O does a newtype burst or whatever they're called, a full radial stun. That one had to be nerfed it was so good. Gold Sumo has the bunker laser which is also a great defensive/stun setup tool. I don't have them all unlocked, you have to get most of the suits in the game up to level around 5 to do that.

Launch day info/tips post: - IMPORTANT Hot Scramble Gundam is the arguably the best unit in the game right now and he's preorder DLC only. For some reason, he is free to download right now even if you don't own the game. Grab him if you wanna pick the game up and you didn't preorder. he's getting nerfed again though so who knows! - The game does have cross region play, so you can play with friends that have the japanese version, etc. We'll be on the same patch cycle as Japan as a result. Time will tell if they bother officially translating patch notes, but ggez.space has done a good job keeping up to date on this so far. - The game is launching with 7 DLC units priced at 5$ each. That places the US DLC release slightly behind JPN, which has 3 more units available at the same cost (Nightengale, AGE-1, Phantom), with 2 more on the way bare minimum. They're going to keep adding suits. Preorders come with Barbatos Lupus and Virtue codes, so you'll likely have 2 of these already. - With that in mind, the Gundam games are rather notorious for adding lots of competitively useless DLC and some really REALLY good ones. Unless you like a suit aesthetically, I wouldn't buy a suit if it sucks. Don't feel pressured to have a 'complete' game, it's really not worth it. Should I buy this dlc?
Next in the schedule are:
- When you start the game, you need to unlock good assists asap. The best general purpose starting assists are Guntank, Gold Sumo and Kimaris Trooper. All three have been announced for nerfs in a patch coming in a couple weeks. They're REALLY strong right now though so if you wanna experience the power go right ahead. I don't know what the assist meta looks like beyond this honestly. Better players have told me that gerobi assists will likely hop up in functionality, so stuff like Kshatriya and Gottrlatan might be recommended. - If you want to grind suits up to level 5 quickly to unlock as many assists as possible, go to 'Trial Battle' and play the first easy route up until the third battle, and just keep shooting Zakus until time runs out. Do NOT shoot the big airplane, just farm Zakus. Be sure to turn your partner's AI to 'stop' or 'hold' (however it's translated) so they stop shooting the plane. You keep the EXP gained, just quit when you hit level 5. I can try to answer more questions but I admit I'm not the most qualified or experienced.

Tallgeese II is average as far as I know, but he's getting buffed in the next patch. Wouldn't recommend Tallgeese I, he's just II but worse.

Tallgeese 2 has a problem of a long reload and low shot count on a suit whose gimmick is his main. The buff to him coming up is nice but right now you have to be really picky with your shots or you'll find yourself twiddling your thumbs with no ammo real quick. They're buffing his main reload, main count, and CS.A speed to address that problem which is good.

They added a new series with AGE-1, so I wouldn't call G out of the running yet. So far they seem to be doubling down on more obscure side story picks with some actual anime suits sprinkled in.

The netplay is really good actually, but if a single person is on wifi or has a terrible connection the match is dead. Gundam is a fine starter, though his kit is a little more gimmicky now beyond his rifle. Hyaku Shiki is my personal favorite starting suit to recommend now, but honestly you can learn with most anything. Don't be afraid of picking 500s or 200s either, just make sure they've got a good rifle and you're good to go.

how the hell am I supposed to SSS these Trials? I can't get past SS rank for Trial route 1.

The only time I've gotten lower than SSS is if I died, but I'm not really sure how rank is calculated beyond that. For trial battles be sure to pick a suit with a good gerobi you can trash bosses with like Gottrlatan, Banshee, Perfect Strike, Hyaku Shiki etc. Hi Nu and Hot Scramble are also good picks with funnels the ai doesnt always deal with well. I guess I never defined it in the thread but a gerobi is a big laser that you continuously fire while standing still (usually).

I wish you could get to that training screen without queuing up for a match. It's a pain in the rear end to try new suits out because you have to pick out all this poo poo every time.
