He also accomplishes nothing except disappointing women and making elementary schoolers cry, perhaps making him the most relatable protagonist. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 07:55 on Jul 23, 2016 |

Was Fa even a pilot in training before following Kamille to join AEUG? I know Kamille was at least learning how to design them and probably had some simulator experience, besides being a newtype. Fa was probably one of the best oldtype pilots in the whole Gryps conflict, second only to Yazan.

There's also Lieutenant Botty, the Rick Dias pilot who nobody remembers, who also ranks up a fairly impressive kill-count in the background and appears to survive the entire conflict.

Can I say, for the record, how much I love the irony that the side that claims to be fighting for Deikun's dream has absolutely no newtypes in high command, while the side that they claim is bound by gravity had, as their supreme commander, the oldest known Newtype? Because I love it a lot. (Seriously, Revil's the biggest gamechanger of One Year War fatalities. He's the one guy in a position of power who went "Okay, yes, Newtypes are a thing." without continuing to "How can I best use them to murder my enemies?" Another irony, I suppose. A series focusing on the potential of youth where an old man was the one who could have prevented decades of tragedy. )

AradoBalanga posted:Yeah, for instance, SRW usually caps Fa's Newtype level at 4 or 5, just enough to use some of the bigger Newtype dependent weapons in the games. Other Newtypes like Amuro and Kamille almost always cap out at level 8, by comparison. I wouldn't put too much stock in SRW rankings. This is the series that has never given Ciela Lapana a single level in Aura Power ever.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Movie Trilogy and TV series, Early Days OVA is it's own thing. Nope. Early Days and the films are set in the same continuity, along with Next Generation. Patlabor TV and New Files are a separate continuity, and The New Files is a direct sequel to Patlabor TV. The manga is its own continuity, completely separate from anything animated. None of that really matters because the basic premise and characters work the same, so all you need to know is that Patlabor TV doesn't keep track of the Early Days or movie events.

On the topic of alternate continuities, how come most of them are so lacking in good grunt suits? I know I know, this comes down to personal taste, and I find most of the designs from Seed/Destiny to be godawful, but apart from the UC and Wing, most shows don't seem to put nearly as much effort into their cannon fodder suits.

Really? I'd say we had a pretty good run of them. Even if you dislike SEED, 00 has the Flags which are like the best mecha in the show, AGE's Clanches and some of the Vagan grunt designs were probably better than the main suits, Reconguista has goddamn beautiful grunt mecha and while IBO's only real grunt mecha were the Graze they got a pretty serious push and some pretty good variant designs. Almost all of those had a major grunt pilot or two too. Graham obviously Flagged that poo poo up. AGE had the Genoace and Clanche Customs which got pretty good scenes for the show. Reconguista had several characters piloting grunt mecha throughout the entire show. IBO obviously had the Graze Custom

Kind of pushing "grunt suit" here, but the final fight in IBO was against a graze variant.

I count Reconquista and Turn A as far future UC, plus they're Tomino shows. But I don't really like the visual style of the other timelines. I like my suits chunky and with big feet. The Graze is alright, but the narrow waist and the high heeled feet bug me.
