Actually since things like beams are entirely artificial effects created by the system it probably makes it stronger simply because it makes the actual gunpla itself more durable and for nothing else. It's a better built kit so the system rewards it for more effort based on the build quality.

I do have to say if I have one complaint about Build Fighters its that in terms of 'rules' for their game, it really is YuGiOh the giant robot game. Things improve other things because we are told they do and things like massive aircraft carriers seem kind of out of place. I'd like to see a scene involving Sei programming his GP base for example, as an explination of how the gently caress the discharge systems work.

Don't get me wrong, I love this show. Just a pet peeve.

I don't think we need to worry about GBF spawning an actual gunpla fighting game, so I'm just fine with it being the game interpreting the modeler's intent by the power of ~IMAGINATION~

I'm a Zaku Amazing, Wing Fenice, and Sengaku Astray (Which I JUST ordered) deep into this poo poo. Waiting for those sweet reprints to start coming out so I can start kit bashing. Need some bits from the Shining, Burning, and Age Titus and then use a Gouf as a base. All Melee all charge Gouf. I call it the Gouf Overwhelming.

Just gonna warn you right now that you want the HG 30th anniversary RX-78-2. Not only is the old HG terrible, but the G30th also comes with a Gundam Hammer anyways.

Or you could buy the HG Forever Gundam, which comes with the cool armor AND a Gundam Hammer.

Also, that picture reminded that I hate how dalong panel lines his kits. Can somebody please buy him a gray lining marker?

I'm guessing he does that since it shows the amount of panel lines clearly, where it can be harder to tell by just using gray.

Dalong is very aware of the fact that everyone everywhere looks at his site, so yeah he makes his panel lines thick so you can better see a model's detail.

And hey, at this point he's famous for it. Who else has their name on a style of panel lining? :v:

Gotta admit, I'm not crazy about this episode. The gimmick was fun but just felt out of place for me.

That said I'm willing to give the show a ton of leeway considering how good it has been thus far. And the out of combat stuff was still phenomenal as always this week.

I'm somewhat sad that we weren't shown how Reiji went all Zeta Gundam on those thugs. It would've been nice to see some good ol' violence.

Also this episode...it happened alright. Weird gimmick that translated to a somewhat boring battle. That's basically all I can say, I couldn't care much about the baseball duel. Hopefully we'll be back to proper fights next episode.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha the Star Build's secret power is that it can turn into a Real Grade, that's loving amazing. :allears:

Got to admit I came into this episode hoping for a new OP/ED so I'm kind of letdown, but this was pretty much the best loving thing besides that. I finally understand what that seemingly random weapon set was for, and seeing the Aborgorine attempt to put on a baseball cap was great.

EDIT: Next episode is the gimmick we've all been waiting for. :dance:

EDIT 2: I just realized this was the perfect opportunity to do the Shining Finger speech. God drat you Reiji, why can't you be as much of a Gundam nerd as Sei? :argh:

How the hell did I not think of this? That's perfect. What a wasted opportunity.

Talking about G Gundam, what was that Gundam Mao fought against? I remember it's from G (then again G Gundam's designs are rather distinctive), but I just can't remember what it was.

I didn't think this episode was too bad, the gimmick was the special kind of dumb that still ends up enjoyable because of how silly it is. It could have been better but it was still kind of fun to watch.

I like Aila's reaction to all these stupid shenanigans. :colbert: ...Well, I mean GunPla battles are cool, but... No, seriously, in terms of in-universe, how could anyone take this sports... err, e-sports seriously? First the huge Gundam, now the lottery for weapons. It'd be basically impossible to have any sort of neutral observer making sure the games aren't rigged somehow. You'd think there'd be a huge outrage by now.

I don't take it that seriously, it's just a fun show, but still! :arghfist:
