I've only ever watched Gundam Wing, and know very little of the various other settings, but I have no clue what the heck is going on here.

Its well presented though, and hopefully the thread will shine a light on all the Gundam stuff I've missed out on.

(Gundam Wing is the best Gundam show, fight me)

Oh, we can fight alright. The Earth is the arena.

I think for our pilot, well, maybe it's Konosuba on the mind, but Char Aznable seems the most entertainingly garbage human being on the list, so him.

As for our pilot, well, since he's not an option and probably isn't in the game at all, I say we get Zeon's ace of aces, Breniff Oguz, in Costume 13. Because you know what? If we've got Char being a theatrical as gently caress newtype double crossing everyone, we probably should get a reasonable, not horrible (You know, after accounting for the Zeon thing) middle aged oldtype who doesn't even have a custom paint scheme... sniping the holy hell out of everyone and generally being the deadliest son-of-a-bitch ever born.

ovv-f Gafran
A killer robot dragon from Mars. Gundam AGE wasn't the first time we've had Mobile Suits barge in from the Red Planet, but it was the first time they did so on TV and therefore had to be A Big Deal. Despite all the work put into their animations, the Gafran and its kin really only get three big chances to shine in Overworld, and we've just seen one.

And then the other two generations of Gundam AGE fell flat thanks to trying to do too many Gundam tropes in simultaneously too high a density and watered-down enough to work for Level-5's usual target audience, and we'll basically never get anything Vagan in a game newer than Gundam Breaker 3. _{and even then the hiked-up wing skirt kills its ability to blend with anything ARGH}

Pedigree: Genoace/Genoace Custom + most Oldsmobile Army MS
Develops Into: Baqto (Lv3), Zedas (Lv4)
Design Possibilities: Shenlong Gundam (+ Destroy Gundam or other Gundams with extending arms)

Yeah. With AGE's failure, you could almost say Martian mobile suits... were left orphaned.

(I regret nothing.)

Seems like I got Wing and G backwards again. I was sure G came first, though...

Either way, I'm sure Wing had nobudget for one reason or another, I just apparently can't remember what that reason was. You'd think it would have to be related to toy sales, though.

EDIT: Since I'm sick I may as well do another update so watch this space. As it stands, Gaza-C is the winner for Kawaii Uguu's ride of choice.

G was first in Japan, but Wing came out first in the US. Perfectly understandable confusion.

I say we should go by the only true metric. Fashion sense.

And with all due respect to every other pilot there that only leaves us with one option.
