Damn, episode 10 of Gundam Build Fighters was the most marvel thing I've ever seen.

Finnish girl Chris G with that morridoom funnel tech, that nerdjosh red mech with the knockoff funnel tech get bodied by Sei and Reiji's x-factor Vergil gundam with all the blue bullshit around it

If I hadn't been already watching this show, your descriptions of it would have me sold.

Should have used upper/lowercase to differentiate between player inputs instead of what the stream has set up.

Also now I want to watch Gundam Build Fighters, and I haven't even watched a single EP of Gundam before.

Best part is, it doesn't even matter. Hell, it's actually a pretty good jump-off point into normal Gundam series since you'll be familiar with some of the models.
 
You miss alot of references with it being your first Gundam show, but if you don't ever plan on watching anything else Gundam it probably wont matter much to you
 
Yea there are a ton of in jokes, Gundam specific terms and homages to previous Gundams. You don't need to see every Gundam but seeing a couple would ease you into it better.

However, the characters general enthusiasm for their hobby sucks you in and you want to be part of that excitement. I bet Gunpla sales are going to quadruple now because of this show. Its a solid first Gundam, just know that a standard Gundam show is nothing like this. Its the most similar to G Gundam minus the blatant rascism and more kid friendly.
 
Meter gain is hyper speed in general in GG, it's been that way because you use meter to block. You ever notice how fast Ky builds meter when he's on the offensive? 0 to 100 in 10 seconds or less :lol

In GG you gain meter just by running at people lol

The meter game in GG is one of my favorite aspects of it though. No other game out right now has you gaining and spending your bar like GG does



We got full body DPs and we got Bomber Loops at the same time

My boy about to get his shine on in Xrd. Can't wait

Man that train stage is so dope.

That's pretty cool. Can you go into the Instant Kill mode right at the start? Or do you need full meter?




This Zero combo movie is pretty good.
 
You can go into Instant Kill whenever you have any Tension, but it drains it fast.
If you attempt to perform it and aren't successful, you lose your Tension bar for the remainder of the round.

You can always get out of Instant Kill mode as well, so you don't lose your Tension.
 
We need someone to do fakesubs of Gundam Build Fighters as if it were a documentary about the FGC.

Episode 11 with the CORN bomber full of haters and episode 12 with the sponsor schenanigans and gatekeeping. EG|Senpai having to wear those Gunnars is hella corny, too.
 
hey guys im new here. hope you dont mind me joining in.

regarding IK's in guilty, you'll see them relatively often against aba because once her moroha meter has been emptied (through time spent or getting knocked down) she is left in a vulnerable state for a pretty long period. lot of chars just wanna knock aba down 3 times and then IK her.

LOL. Wow, I forgot about that.

jeeze markman is everywhere

lol. just waiting for the version rendered in a mad catz shirt ;)

I'm going to Japan on Wed. Anything I should be on the look out for? I'll be in town for PS4 launch.
 
I guess for Xrd, I'm going to be using Ky. I did use him as much as I used Dizzy.

Learning Eddie for reals sounds kind of fun, but I always used Millia or Venom when it came to assassins.

What do you mean, "someone?" Obviously it's a job for call_kotaku.
 
There's actually a new thing with instant kills in Xrd: In GGXrd, when your health is low, besides Guts activating (like previous games), you also enter "Hell Fire" mode, where your super moves are stronger. It's a small comeback mechanic, but making supers more useful is kind of neat, since meter is otherwise usually used for blocking and Roman Cancels. However, if your opponent is in Hell Fire mode, and you have at least 50 meter, entering IK mode will have a super-freeze, allowing you to combo into an IK.

You can see Faust attempt this here in this video from Jaepo, though it fails because the IK starter doesn't reach the opponent after a throw.

It doesn't seem too BS, since the opponent has to be pretty low on health anyway for it to work. So we get to see some more ANIMEEEEEEEEEEE
 
for all that care, you can actually watch gundam build fighters on youtube. go to the gundaminfo channel. they have all the episodes subbed. it's the official gundam channel so quality is good

Viscant is always that hilarious on the mic. One of the best Marvel commentators, on or off-topic.

New Fighter I am really hype about, even if I never got to play the original due to all sorts of bad luck.

SamSho+waifus is a great combination.

Seriously Sega, put out stuff like this and not talking about VF6 is very forgivable.

This is pretty neat. Messed with the first one at some point when I was fiddling around with doujin and poverty games. Really surprised to see it getting a follow up, have no idea how popular it is.

Ah cool, good to see Sega putting some work in on bringing out more fighters. If Alien Isolation works out for them combined with the Atlus acquisition they could be looking at a very profitable future.

Build Fighters is fantastic, check it out. No prior knowledge required. Fun references for old fans but that's minor stuff.

Interesting for FGC people because the setting is a world where fighting games are a big, popular spectator sport.
