jumped into a few random player matches and won my first 3 games with the plain old rx-78 because i forgot to change it beforehand.
not a bad start!
Teach me your ways!

I don't speak moon, does this mean I'm getting kicked? I get this like 4 in every 5 rooms I join.

Wait yeah it does say you got kicked.

That sucks, I wish I knew why. Probably my connection, which is silly since lag in this game is pretty much nonexistent even with a red bar.

I have to overcome two intimidations: playing online and possibly using IRC for the first time..

Some folks are just like that. Others will do it because people playing with them dont match their skill level, etc. All sorts of reasons.
Dont let it bother you too much. It happens.

The real shame is I win a lot of the matches I play
except when I play with Tyrant Rave, he's bad luck
It's important to mention, that you can set a connection quality limit in room settings (it's off by default).Some folks are just like that. Others will do it because people playing with them dont match their skill level, etc. All sorts of reasons.

From what I've heard it doesn't kick in when you join, but checks your connection after some time, which leads to weird kicks.
No idea if it was the reason here.

I've had a few rooms where it won't let me ready up after I join, then a red bar with some text pops up on the side and I get kicked. It's hella annoying, I wish it would just hide the match. Or better yet, some people should accept that when you're playing an import game you aren't going to be getting full bar connections all the time.
To be honest, if one person has an extremely bad connection, the matches are unplayable - 10 second long lags ect.
Can't blame people for wanting to have a pleasant experience, I guess.

Funny thing is when playing with the Gaf crew seems perfectly fine considering the shit connection bars that we are seeing. The real real bad folks must be on a modem or something as this game seems to have fairly decent netcode
Outside of the oddities of not being able to join certain people, but they can join you etc.

Idk, my friends and I have never gotten a bit of lag in this or in EXVS despite what the bars show.
Common Writer's connection was broken for a few days during which we tried playing, but the lags were too extreme. After he fixed, everything is back to normal.
But yeah, I can play with Gaffers who have red bars without any noticeable delays.

Anyone try Shin's Zaku yet?

Well I finally got into a room after trying for like forty five minutes of trying and completely lost the will to play. Two times I got worked with Kshatriya, then once with Tallgeese, so I busted out Efreet for the first time online and actually did pretty darn good... Then I switched back to Kshatriya and the host left ;-;
Now I have to master Strike Noire
(；・∀・
ﾊｯ?Shouldn't you first master a MS before buying the kit?
Of course not! That's not how this works (´･_･`)(；・∀・

There ya go. I think he has better options than Johnny. Also, dat background change.
Let Meer in.
Good thing I'm too picky then to buy most mobile suits (^_^) Plus the fact that shipping is a killer for me.

You know to break things up a bit kinda wished that they gave him his special Gelgoog Jäger instead. Seeing how similar the unit is to JR... D: Would have come with a beam sniper rifle. Even as much as I still think the zaku is cool, but the moveset... D:

Thanks!
Are you even capable of not choosing the most amazing music for everything ever?
Yeah, another machinegun Zaku with grenades and a bazooka is disappointing.
I'm saving my digital yen this time.
I'm going to choke a postman. They came by today, didn't ring. They just tossed the "Missed delivery" slip in my mailbox. They didn't even bother to put the fucking time of passage on the note, just left it in like that.
*sigh* I'll get it from the post office tomorrow. Fuckers.

Video of Quatre and Shin Matsunaga with a bunch of different conversations with other units: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvUBpKsfz5E
On the upside, my MG Hi-Nu kit is ready for shipping, but... The shipping cost was significantly higher than I expected... Now I should hold off on spending more, and I was kind of ready to purchase some points to buy Quatre in Wing Zero TV... (I still might <_< -- that laugh)
Edit: Holy crow, my copy just arrived in the FedEx center just outside my city! Yes!
Edit2: Out for delivery!!

Arrived today:
I'll be online today but I need some practice because the last time that I played a game of the series was when it was still called Gundam vs Gundam.
Yay! Don't forget to jump into the IRC on Espernet #gafgundam when you get a chance as we set up games and stuff there. We'll give you pointers along the way as well more directly here too.

Covers a majority of the fundamentals for movement and whatnot and applies to Full Boost. You just have more momentum in this game than the original.

Hey guys, is this game non-japanese reader friendly?
My brother wants this game, and I imported Gundam Breaker for him to play, and that game had tons of english, and was mostly straight forward and easy to understand.
So is it easy to navigate menus and the different game modes and such?

From the OT:
Like any fighting game really, it isn't hard to get around. Very straightforward. Plus there have already been menu translations for everything.

Cool, then it sounds just like Gundam Breaker's menus and stuff in a way, cool.
LaGOWE is in the game, so I'm excited for our copy.
I rarely ever even think of side-stepping, clearly I need to get in the habit of doing that.
Overall, I feel like I'm just not making good decisions about when to use evasive maneuvers. Maybe that just comes with practice and pain
I like you.

Oh man, that lag was too extreme. Turns out that sharing a laptop's connection through a wire, with the router on the other side of two thick walls, doesn't really work.

Yeah, it's just something you have to force yourself to do. ^^

This is the best time to jump in, a lot of us are in the same boat. I can do all of it in training mode or against CPUs, but as soon as I'm in player matches it's TOTAL PANIC MASH MODE. I feel like it's getting better with time though.

Yeah something I want to do when I get a big block of time is just go into cpu matches and just practice evading.
There's so many options to not get hit but I feel like I just rely on boost dashing. Inefficient use of the maneuver on top of that so it seems like opponents are having and easy time punishing me

Can you BD out of block? And if you can is it worth it? Not an empty block but a legit block.
Haha, I am absolutely doing this. We shall conquer mash mode together!
Dammit, i want my copy before it's too late to download the dlc. I just hope it doesn't land at the custom
You can download the DLC right now from the JP PSN website or from the JP store on your PS3 if you want to be sure you get it.
WOW, thanks!

Are you talking about Ex-S? As long as you have a physical first pressing, you'll have a download code for it that doesn't expire. It's only the digital version of the game that will not allow you to get Ex-S after the 28th of this month.
