See, at this point I want to find a kit with a giant AWACS dish to slap onto a Gouf R35 with powered arms, paint it yellow, and call it a Powered Gouf Cardigan. With custom Plavsky Jamming Dispenser.  I swear to god this is the most effective toy commercial ever.

Srice posted:After watching the new episode, dang the show is really suffering from dull rivals at the moment. Gyanko's funny! Everyone else is just kinda stonefaced and way too serious about the whole thing. If we didn't meet Sakai in the previous episode I'd have no way of telling them all apart. To be fair, Gyanko and Sakai are the only rivals at the moment. Everyone else just exists undefined because all we've seen are quips and vignettes. Gyanko and Sakai both got to have fights with Sekai and Fumina, and had episodes where these were important. I do think that this should have been a split episode though, just so we could watch the three of them take their sweet time wrecking their first round mook opponents. It was rushed as hell, but the problem wasn't them being mooks at all. Team Labcoat is the real first battle.

Pureauthor posted:What I'd like to see happen is that in the upcoming episode Sekai gets the BB Gundam damaged by charging ahead or acting reckless. They still pull off a win, but with a damaged machine that Sekai can't really fix. I'm pretty sure this is drat near guaranteed, at least before the World Tournament starts. The question is how do they solve it: Make Sekai learn how to build, or have Yuuma become the team mechanic? I kinda feel like there's a corner paint going on, because Sekai has a super prototype that literally one person in the world could ever hope to match, and Sei Iori is traveling the world doing world traveler things. Ok, Mao could probably do a good job. What I'm saying is I have no idea how they could repair the BBG in a way that doesn't shatter suspension of disbelief, or not involve bringing Mao or Sei back. Except for Chief Mechanic Yuuma. And that, at this point, would be pretty jarring.

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.

Cao Ni Ma posted:The SWGs riffle has an oversized blade running through the entirety of it with a swivel to make it pop out. I'm assuming that detaches and hooks up with her hand so she has a melee weapon. The melee bits are actually parts of the armor itself and not the backpack, so she can keep using them in real mode. Both Shia's and real mode SWG look like stabby melee speed demons. Yuuma has probably never played Kerbal Space Program, so he doesn't know proper thrust to weight ratios. Neither do the mecha designers, either, I suspect.

Omnicrom posted:Meijin took on Saga because he was being an unsportsmanlike shitlord who was making a point of pummeling people who were way weaker than him. Meijin was telling Saga "don't be a jerk to people weaker than you, remember you're weaker than someone". The stuff with Wilfrid is a little harder to swallow because he's doing exactly the same thing as Saga was doing, if only by proxy. Honestly I think the Shia vs Karima thing wouldn't be so hypocritical if it was phrased as "You can only use 1 mobile armor so we'll only use one mobile suit". It still would have the undercurrent of "We're better than you", but it wouldn't have the same tone of flagrant dismissal that Try has been railing against. Bonus points if Ral throws in some goonery about the heroes of Gundam facing Mobile Armors alone, in a true test of pilot versus machinery. But that'd have probably undercut Shia's super special build skills. It's more a BF thing than BFT as well. BF is for Gundam dorks. BFT is... for... uh... Hm.

Pyroi posted:Well, if they actually put a lot of work into building the Mobile Armor, it would be like having the power of the Build Burning or the Shia's Dancing Gundam on a much larger scale. That would probably be pretty drat powerful. The problem is that the people who use Mobile Armors seem to be trying to compensate for their lack of ability to make better smaller craft. Also Karima made his out of CGI instead of plastic, which probably had bad effects on its performance. A good example of this concept was the Build Fighters beach episode, where Mao and Sei/Reiji faced the loan shark guy in the Apsalus III. That was a worlds-class Mobile Armor, and it very nearly pushed both of their shits in. Without Mao having already known about Plavsky bullshit, and having a no-Moon satellite cannon gimmick, they'd have lost. Karima's * It is worth noting that Shia is the only person so far who seems to be able to build suits that manipulate Plavsky particles at the Nationals level. The BBG does, but it was built by Sei, who is a Worlds level builder. Running through space, skating on beams, etc is all Plavsky bullshit. Fumina has a suit with lots of gimmicks, but nothing on the level of Plavsky fuckery. And Yuuma is just really overtuned. (Did he actually -do- anything to the BBG-T? I'm still not clear that he did anything more than add transparent parts.) Saga's The End is a pretty clear example of a brute force suit. Wilfrid might have some Plavsky fuckery, but I can't tell. The only other group that might have been doing weird Plavsky poo poo was the Ez8-SR team. But like Wilfrid, how much of that is just them gluing Radomes onto Ez8s and saying they're jamming pods... I'm leaning toward that explanation.

Broken Loose posted:The lower legs are entirely new from the knees until you reach the ankles. There's probably a fraction of a size change in there. It loses some relatively serious height in the calf section, and it's chest looks a bit compressed too. Tasteful clear parts are good and fun though. No reason to think it doesn't have the same hyperposability the BB had right?

boom boom boom posted:The armor comes off!  I'll never understand.In a similar vein, I wonder why they don't make the Designated Rival team have a bit more of a scrappy time. Is there value in them being on some untouchable pedestal? Having Lucas mostly trash the Academy before losing and them having to rebuild things before the final match would have some psychological effects, wouldn't it? You're laser focused on these guys, and they nearly got iced. Maybe that's a bad Final 4 plan, but in the Ro8 or 16, that would be an awesome way to declare that this is a completely different league. It'd also add a sense of shared struggle. Both sides have something to prove, and struggled to get to the top, so there's that much more pathos to hinge the final battle on as the culmination of their blood, sweat, and tears, and not just a desire for gud fites.

My God. BFT is over. This was the peak. Nothing they can do will top the sheer magic of Tryon 3 FULL HAM. It was so good it made motherfucking Yuuma look good. Him devouring panels and embracing the burning passion was the "show don't tell" he needed. That was exhausting to watch.

W.T. Fits posted:In non-Tryon 3-related moments in this episode... one nice touch I liked at the beginning of the episode was Lucas picking up his Full Cloth after the conclusion of his battle. Beaten, a little scuffed and worn, but still pretty much completely intact. On damage level A. I think that more than anything else so far really helps to sell how skilled Lucas is; he still lost to Gunpla Academy, but only after he ran the three of them ragged, and he still walked away with a recognizable model instead of a pile of scrap plastic strewn across the plavsky particle generator. That scene was all around good, with strong sportsmanship and a general :3 feel as they basically practice Meijinism of "Gunpla is cool, lets play more Gunpla." Lucas, up to that point, had given me the impression of someone coldly ruthless and committed more to the win than the game. I didn't expect him to stick his neck out for his support that explicitly.

Season three is a reboot there Takeshi recruits Fumina because he has two hopeless agents who need a good leader. One of them is an talented builder who follows the protocol and always gets his man, and the other is a bold, all-in fights mans type who doesn't play by the rules. Together, they fight crime.

Lessail posted:drat son they worked all their magic on yuuma so none was left over for sekai No amount of magic could have fixed that. Echoing the popular opinion: 2v2 was great, "It sounds sad, but this is war," was great, Yuuma and Fumina were great altogether. Sekai was hot garbage. If I didn't know better, I could have thought the opening was the start of a new series. Khisanth Magus posted:Comparing this to the end of season 1 is just painful. We had an absolutely badass fight in season 1, and then this very meh fight for season 2. The 2v2 was OK, although the winning starting back up because a tear fell on the controls to allow her to force a draw in the 2v2 fight was kind of dumb. I can't get over what the fights with Sekai could have been like, having an actual martial artist using a mobile suit built for that to actually use martial arts, not bullshit-named-attack-after-bullshit-named-attack which is what Sekai's fighting style is. The Winning should have straight up gone God Gundam Hyper Mode and trashed the G-Portent. You don't half-rear end the power of emotion.
