Para Sys was a competent pilot. Also Roux and Elle from ZZ but you should give top tier marks to Elle because Ms. Perfect Roux piloted the zeta and Elle made it all the way to the end boss in that piece of flimsy crap Mk. II which is outstanding for a hood rat.

Elle also instantly adapted to the Zeta, which is more than Judau can say.

Elle is better because looks like she escaped from a cartoon for girls made in the 80s.

Every species can smell its own extinction.
I also remember a scene, near the end of ZZ' where Judeau goes to do plot stuff and leaves Elle to hold back the entire Neo-Zeon army alone. And she does! Offscreen.

Basically, if Elle Vianno ever got her hands on a good suit, the Neo Zeon War would have been over in hours.

Give her the Nu Gundam and she'd push back Axis solo.

I still love how Aila's superhuman feats of parkour are just never explained. I like to think that in the BF universe, that's just normal.

I figured it's just an extension of her being an orphan. Without any parents to provide for her, it's fair to assume she probably had to steal a few meals here and there to survive before she was discovered by Team Nemesis, and developed her parkour skills as a consequence of having to run away from angry shop owners and such. :v:

If you want to instantly win a map with Elle in the Turn A you should probably just play one of the G Gens that lets you use the full power Turn A.

God drat Gundam the Origin is a fun read. I've really enjoyed it despite my hesitation in revisiting the original story. All the little extra tidbits and changes make it well worth it. Artwork is niiiiiiiiice.

The one episode of the Origin that's out is back story for Char as a child. And so will the next one. I think if they haven't seen MSG and don't know who Char is I'd hold off.

"..The high ground"

Kanos posted:

A Virgo II should have been able to singlehandedly kill pretty much an arbitrary number of Leos.

From pretty much every other scene involving mobile dolls and manned grunts the only way they had success was by suicide bombing the Virgos.

Though there was the scene involving the Barge where the Tauruses got some kind of beam rifle that went through the shields of the Virgos. Maybe Treize's army had those. Of course Wufei's actions later make no sense if you take him at his own word since his motivation involves Treize's last stand being hopeless for him and his men.

This is correct. The Origin movies are good backstory filler for MSG, but if you haven't seen MSG they won't have quite as much value. I'd watch the MSG movies first, then consider the Origin movie(or movies, depending on when you get around to it).

I dunno. I was thinking about that while I was watching Origin, and I think it works as it's own thing. It's a solid story with good characters and political intrigue and action.

I'd put money down on a timeskip at the end for a second season, or at least the halfway point. That's how we got the last Char knockoff :v:.

It's as if old man Tomino himself was in charge of the naming schema. With tons of Germanic and Norse stuff to boot! Wheeeeee!

Hmmm, everyone pilots MS shirtless. I'm guessing those three techno doodads embedded in the spine help to control the suit in some way. So all the rag tags will be shirtless and the A-La...I mean Gjallarhorn will have form fitting tight pilot suits.
