Take a page out of Reborn and have a speed kill battle with nothing but Big Zams. The teams have to kill as many Big Zams as they can within the time limit. A Big Zam being the head of a Neo Zeong with a Shamblo as a back pack.

I find it funny that Build Burning Gundam has no inspiration from God Gundam at all, despite completely reeking of G Gundam aesthetics.

BF Burning is just another cut-and-paste job from Okie's F91 slushpile, it's about as generic as his designs get.

Ah okay, I thought the size difference was more than that. Did Victory suits go back to normal size or did they keep the smaller F91 ratio?

The high point of UC size was the CCA/Hathaway's Flash suits. After that beam weaponry became so powerful for its size that having a small and agile mobile suit was more effective than a bigger or heavily armored one.

In UC everything from F91 on is 15 meters because apparently the F91 and the related suits represented an industrial revolution or something. e: ImpAtom posted:They stayed small.

Crossbone Ghost actually makes use of this difference, with a literal museum piece of a Zaku II going up against a more modern MS, whose computer has trouble adjusting for the size difference between them by misjudging the distance between the two, thinking it's closer than it actually is and missing the target. Then a much older Tobia Arronax fends off the other MS in the titular Crossbone Ghost. Note that he's blind while doing this.

Who designs their target computers to use optical size comparison to guesstimate range without including a database of MS designs and their dimensions? I don't care how old the Zaku II is, at that point in the future datastorage is unlikely to be an issue! Or better yet, use LIDAR rangefinding if conditions are good enough for optical tracking.

Posting duffleblog is cheating. To the point, though, I doubt the Los Angeles class attack submarines carry around acoustic fingerprints of 1940s Kreigsmarine subs in their databases.

The story was bad, and every interesting idea in the show (the constantly evolving Gundam, the oldtype son of a newtype hero, seeing a war effect multiple generations) was squandered so completely they almost had to have been actively trying.

The reason I asked is, a friend and I are watching build fighters and at some point during episode 2 we looked at each other with the weirdest look you can imagine and said "this is some pokemon poo poo going on right here". I've never been a big fan of the lore but I can tell a crossbones from a rgm-79, I was wondering what horrors did AGE bring forth to have gundam just skip the fluff and go straight into toyline mode.

Imagine a whole bunch of pretty decent concepts, executed in the downright worst way possible, with the worst connections between them and being downright misogynistic in addition. It wasn't even "playing it safe" because it did try some new things and failed hilariously bad at it all. That's AGE. Now imagine a show that is all about the merchandize, and extremely self aware about it. It has plenty of flaws and some concepts get overused, but it also has a ton of creativity in it. But it really doesn't take it self very serious. While the ladies in it show promise they do get sidelines but otherwise it's a perfectly fun merchandise promoting show. That's build fighters.

Probably the worst part is that you know it's a generational show so it's not a question of if they'll get together. It's which one of the women will get chosen as the mother and moved permanently to the sidelines.

The main beef of the villain faction in AGE is that they were abandoned to rot on a colony above Mars and suffer from chronic and ultimately lethal illness due to some sort of radiation from Mars. The colony is mobile and could have left Mars any drat time they wanted. That is the quality of AGE writing.

The ultimate plan of the villain is to have a huge war that kills everyone who likes war even a little. Therefore only peaceful people are left to live on Earth.

When the female staff asked why the main character's long dead love interest played a greater role than his wife, the main writer said he thought it made perfect sense. You can go on and on about stupid poo poo that happens in AGE. It's not like Destiny where there's bursts of concentrated idiocy among a sea of boring, AGE is just constantly befuddling. And not even in an interesting way.

The writer for AGE, Akihiro Hino, said that he thinks any plot holes in something would be automatically filled in by the audiences thinking about it and that it should be treated like a puzzle.

To be fair, if it were well written I could very much see this being a thing. Some people have a really hard time letting go of a traumatic event. A better show would have handled Flit's marriage as the loveless, perfunctory affair that it actually was, something that existed solely so that Flit could have another generation to carry on his genocidal endeavors or out of some misplaced sense of duty to the family line. If it were well written.
