I think the idea was supposed to be that the Destiny was so poorly built that the cannons in the hands are clogged, so instead of a beam it can just sort of glows with energy instead.

I thought it was because any actual damage done to the Build Burning was via kinetic force (cross counter and double fistpunch where Sekai's own momentum actually increases the force he's hit with) and a Palma Fiocina beam from a snapbuild into a world-class machine is the machine calculating damage based on stat differences and coming out with a 'sorry, bud.'

I was also hoping for the Build Burning's head to mostly not be there, but the "sorry, bud" thing makes sense, too. I kept forgetting during the fight that the Destiny was just a snap build. I REALLY hope the damage to the Try suits carries over. There were so many lingering shots of it that it would really be a shame for them to be meaningless next ep.

I kept forgetting during the fight that the Destiny was just a snap build. My bet is that during a JIGEN HAOH RYUU move his damaged arm gives out on him or something, which then leads to Yuuma going "Didn't you repair your gunpla!?" and Sekai going "Repair?  " and leads into both an opportunity for Yuuma or Fumina to actually win a fight and an opportunity for the Build Burning to actually need modification.I'm actually not a big fan of the Build Burning as a concept, as amazing as it exploding out of a Dom was. It felt a little more authentic when Sei was frantically cobbling together his masterpiece for Reiji to pilot because it was authentically his; having a god-tier world class gunpla fall out of thin air into your hands just makes it feel like Sekai's coasting on borrowed power instead of his own.

It has precedent too. Remember when Jerid and Kakricon fought Reiji and Sei in their customized Marasai with the custom mega launcher? It only melted some of surface of the Build Strike's shield because Sei had built the hell out of it. And then their beam rifle managed to easily overcome the mega launcher on the return shot.

So am I alone in this, or does anyone else act on a strong desire to rewatch the best parts of season 1 every Wednesday? You're getting there, Try, but you've got a ways to go before you hit season 1's highlights. Keep on doing your namesake, though. I miss you, Ricardo Fellini  .

Well the expo's started. The two big surprises were the Hi Nu Gundam Vrabe and Wing Zero Fire from the sidestories. Nothing new from BF Try as of yet except a better look at the Gundam Amazing Red Warrior, our mysterious title screen robot. It's... kind of dull, actually. Hopefully that's for easier animation. G-Reco got a lot of stuff announced though.

Also the expo showed off some other previously unrevealed winning gimmicks. The chainsaw shield can switch position and become a primary weapon. Also its crest can be loaded into its machine gun, dont know if its just a power boost or if it gets launched like an arrow.

Pureauthor posted:How much longer to upgrade reveals? Considering it's only one season, well, this should have been the time. Last year revealed SBS, which proceeded to show up for real on episode 10. I think the next big expo is Anime Japan 2015, which is 3/21-22. The show should be over by then, which would imply that either there aren't going to be any upgrades (which would be nice, I guess, since none of the crew seems to have really worked out the kinks of their kits yet) or it'll happen pretty late.

You're right, actually. I think in this case it wasn't a matter of the suits being the problem, it was the pilots. Since in addition to being a Gunpla Battle team, they're also their school's swim team, I'm going to wager that the pilots themselves don't actually know how to fight with their MS on land. They're the poster children for crippling overspecialization. Fighting underwater? They're unstoppable. Fighting anywhere else? They're so boned that they'd rather blow themselves up than suffer the indignity of losing such a one-sided fight.

I feel like you still responded to this episode more positively then I thought you would upon seeing that first scene, Sharkopath. They never even used the hygogg or kapool past the intro scene, they don't deserve respect or admiration!! It was a funny bit that I liked a lot. Even though I don't think this show is as good as Greco or season one of build fighters, that doesn't make it anywhere near bad. This intro Simon fight was really well done and the main one this episode was the most daring so far, Id say. They still haven't gotten interesting team fighting down but the show is picking up it's pacing and slowly introducing more interesting characters as it goes.

I had no problems with the suicide ringouts as a direct callback to that Destiny episode where the Orb suits kamikazed the Minerva. Literally that entire team was one long Destiny callback. They were called FAITH for Christ's sake.

Pureauthor posted:"Hey guys remember last week when the Build Burning's arm got crippled?" Yeah, really disappointed in that but they are moving at break neck speeds to get over the finals here. Sleggar just reminded me that these are qualifiers the proper regionals haven't even started yet. No way they can fit the burning gundam breaking drama right now without completely gimping team Try prior to the finals. And given Sleggar and the megashiki, I dont think team Try can afford another handicap tacked on them this early. Plus if this was a drama episode we wouldn't have gotten any of the antics we had in the episode and that would have sucked.

I can never stop laughing my rear end off whenever somebody's gunpla blows up and everyone acts like they died. Also the Amethyst V Gundam is my favorite design in the show so far.

Im guessing this will be the case once they are in the proper regionals. I still believe they'll lose this coming match though. Im hoping that burning activates its super mode just to get manhandled by sleggar anyways. With the sd fight he could always rationalize it that he was simply not working the gunpla to its strengths but a proper loss against a more skill opponent is sorely needed right now.
