Seeing as we've just established that Smash Bros. isn't a fighting game, can we agree that Gundam Extreme Versus isn't a fighting game either?
There's no health bar, it's primarily team based, there's full 360 movement, no special motions (everything is just single and multiple button presses), and a roster of 100+ characters full of clones and recolors. I feel that it's only popular because of the brand.
Now that that's out of the way, Gundam/mech vidya thread
Both are fighting games, but in specific subgenres.
Smash is a platform fighter and the Gundam vs games are arena fighters.
David Wood
stop posting this thread
Joshua Ward
Smash is a party game though
Liam White
SMASH IS A PLATFORM FIGHTER.
Camden Bennett
That's just a fake ass genre to "justify" not calling Smash what it is, a party game.
Gabriel Lewis
don't be so tsundere, if you want a EXVS thread, then say so
God, FA Gundam is so good, its like FA Unicorn without being a glass cannon
Jaxson Turner
i am quite scared for the PS4 EXVS
since Bandai fucked up Force, I think they will fuck up PS4 EXVS, since they can't lose that sweet arcade money
Henry Anderson
How is it fake? It's an actual genre.
Easton Ramirez
THey admitted Force was a fuck up, and the new gameplay looks reasonable EXVS. The only thing to really be afraid of is how much the roster is gonna be gutted, but even with 50+ they'd have enough variety.
Asher Barnes
well as long as they remove unneccessary ones, im a happy camper
there are now too many MS that I feel are just cheaper version of another MS
and if possible, bring back the 4000 cost MS, like in GvsVG
Robert Ortiz
Can Bamco delete FAZZ Gundam from the franchise? Please and thank you. Because holy shit like from 6 MBO videos I watch 4 have that asshole in and I'm tired of hearing HIGH BEAM CANON or whatever every damn time.
Oliver Cooper
I think they reshuffled the costs all around. But still, game looks promising with universal fast falls and overhauled assists. youtube.com/watch?v=jK1Olo7qgrI
Nathaniel Miller
>The characters fight eachother >They don't party ?????
Aiden James
seems the speed is cranked up again, good, gives melee characters a needed buff
at least it ditched the fucking stupid shiny thingy shader they got for EXVS
But the arena seems too big
Leo Price
>gives melee characters a needed buff They were already too damn much. Extend Burst and Fighting Burst made them way too strong.
Nathaniel Taylor
I wouldn't call it a fighting game, it's just a big ol' mech brawler. But you're also wrong, there are both health bars, as well as special motions.
Owen Jones
Brawler implies it's 1 full character vs many smaller and simpler enemies.
Kayden Jackson
which needed the ex gauge to fill out first
any decent FA Unicorn, FA Gundam, or Zabanya can make their life hell, heck, until the 1500 buff, no 1000 melee MS is viable
Gavin Reed
who even likes to play melee in gundam
William Carter
I'd wish that ZZ still had an SPD and played like he did in GvGNext.
Luke Flores
I'll be set once the main Seed and Destiny boys get confirmed.
Adrian Wilson
as long as it doesn't get over saturated with zaku II recolors like breaker 3, I'm fine with it.
Nicholas James
Why couldn't we just get a Maxi Boost On Ignition Port?
Hudson Taylor
Would be too much for a worldwide audience. Plus a roster reset would let them rebalance the whole cast which is a good thing.
Christian Barnes
>Setsuna's special is literally *trans-ams behind you* that being said, I'm not familiar with the extreme VS games. Can transforming suits like zeta and kyrios actually transform, or do they only change for certain attacks?
Justin Martin
>worldwide audience I'm sure that if it isn't Japan, bamco doesn't give a fuck.
Jaxon Ross
seed and destiny belong in the trash next to TRY.
Lucas Russell
Gundam Versus is explicitly being made for a "global" release.
Ryan Reed
>we
Wuz?
Isaac Rivera
It varies. Some change when in EX mode, others in certain attacks, and others change modes with a button command.
Hudson Adams
I don't disagree, but they're fun as hell to use anyways.
Matthew Wright
>Chose Kira >yamero >yamero >yamero >MO YAMERO >YAMERO MOOOOOOO
Why the fuck is YAMERO associated with Lelouch when this fag says it every 5 seconds? YAMERO should be Kira's catch phrase.
Luis Garcia
That's why Wing Zero was unveiled early. Bamco's starting to learn. Now they need to learn that G Gundam is the second most popular Gundam in the West.
Landon Hill
I thought it was Seed?
Landon Murphy
depends on the MS
transforming MS can transform to jet by holding jump then doing a dash step, can hold it as long the boost gauge
some MS has attacks built in them, like Delta Plus, transforming, then ramming you then kick, Messala can transform to boost out to reset the projectile tracking and fire missiles
Harute is a glass cannon, so only idiots use them, Zeta is better not transforming and REGZ starts out with the booster and ditches it when the timer runs out
Lucas Bailey
a "genre" consisting of smash and mediocre smash clones
Brayden Ortiz
Impulse and Destiny are bae.
Justin Cruz
Was it? G Gundam aired on Toonami right after Wing ended, so Gundam was still at its peak popularity in the West while G was airing. At the least, G Gundam should've done well enough for Bandai and Sunrise to continue bringing Gundam to the West.
I'm aware that airing the original UC series instead of something newer like Turn A or X is what nearly killed interest in the series instead of Seed. They should have kept that shit in Boomerang.
Benjamin Thomas
I know those pigtails.
Eli Evans
speaking og g gundam, what's the word on the HD subs?
Christian Moore
What happened with force? How did they fuck up?
Adrian Reed
Where did 00 air again?
Lucas Jackson
SyFy and Toonami
Eli Hughes
Gutted movesets and awkward controls Super low suit count Awful performance (not as bad as Breaker 3 though. Now that was a shit show) Single player was a bit of a wash (Haro medals can fuck off. Force Battle is wonky, but a neat idea) But it's still a mostly fun time if you're a casual player like me.
Ian Evans
Is Final Fantasy Dissidia a fighting game?
Isaac Lee
Yes Not a very good one though
Liam Nguyen
No surprise, Square-Enix can't do anything other than Dragon Quest right.
Wyatt Robinson
It was still a fun game, just a crappy fighter.
Jeremiah Cooper
I love the Alex. Not only it's design but in the few times I played Extreme Versus I loved playing it the most.
Can't help it, I just love it when games give me a gimped character that can lose a piece of armor and transform.
Jordan Brown
I'm still mad that Virtual On will never rise again. I like Gundam Vs, but it doesn't play like VO, and it's not a 1v1 game.
Samuel Adams
>There's no health bar >no special motions OP, play a game first
Mason Nguyen
It sucks, sure, but there's just no real audience for 1v1.
Robert Carter
Is it wrong that im thinking of buying a PS4 tomorrow for this and Gundam Breaker 3?
Daniel Wood
>SRW OG MD, SRW V, SD Gundam GGG, Gundam Versus Nah, you are pretty on point. I have sink quite a bit of time in Breaker 3, love it. As long you ok with simplistic brawler gameplay.
Jonathan Scott
Is there a way to find Breaker 3 cheap? I DL on Vita, but the framerate is too much for me to enjoy it (and I usually have low standards for that sort of thing).
Lucas Stewart
This map is gonna give me PTSD of SDGO.
Easton Torres
Honestly, just be glad it's not fucking Site 7. Holy shit it's easily where 95% of all Versus games end up being played at.
Logan Jones
>cheap even if you find game itself - don't forget 66 SGD seasonpass
Ian Lewis
Fug. Is it worth it?
Charles Bennett
dunno honestly, each DLC is 3-4 stages, rarely with new locations. Story stuff is pretty good but only if you liked story in game itself. Parts have nice variety, mostly thanks to IBO, but not essential. Tho latest DLC gave Limit Breaker, not sure how it works yet, but seems it can be used to overlevel certain parts.
Wyatt Perry
Hmm. I can live without it then. Honestly, it's super dumb that this got an Asian english release but didn't come over while Extreme Force did get released here.
John Powell
don't forget that new weapons have new movesets too tho. Like Gusion's Hammer. Release wise, yeah, that's weird. But there is little market for gundam here anyway.
Chase Gray
F-fuck. I'm gonna need that hammer. But why Force instead of the actual good Gundam game out? I guess it's for the eventual western Gundam Versus release but still.
Grayson Green
I swear Gundam/Mecha threads are always the best. They're the only threads that have actual conversation about the topic at hand rather than shitposting.
I love you guys.
Jayden Price
That hammer is pretty sweet, default combo finishes with takedown attack if you like useless ace scores. Dunno how internal Bamco divisions work, but I want to think that Bamco Asia is now controlled by Jesus
Juan Smith
Sounds hot. I really just want to get the game to make themed stuff, so I'll eventually have to get the season pass at some point. But I want to find the game cheap still so it can hurt less.
Jayden Long
can only wish you luck, user. >themed stuff tons of it. people make g1 transformers, pokemons, kamen riders.
