Some of the design choices are amazing... just like not being able to field all the songs at once. :/

That's how they're gonna sell Maxi Boost to you.

Gonna shit a kitten if they dont. Seriously.
Agree with the others who said Zaku Amazing < Kämpfer Amazing.
But those snub nose revolvers the ZA has is pretty badass. And am disappointed the KA didnt have a shotgun D:

Fuck this mission. Had to use L60 Unicorn just to beat it on Easy.

Im getting my ass kicked on the one that is 2 Epyons, 2 Cherudims and then finally in boost mode right when they arrive the God and Exia I think... I keep running out of time D:
Might have to do the same and used a maxed out unit instead.

Wat? Making stuff up now are we? xD
Like having to invite someone each time you want to do an online FB mission?
Top notch design right there.
This game has a room system, you know.

Patch 1.03 is out and it supposed to fix the shuffle system in player matches. We'll see...

Does that mean less chance of my glorious master race Zudah being paired with the inferior Zakus? XD

Played some random Team Shuffle matches this morning, it was my first time playing online. I can already see I've developed some bad play style habits from playing the computer. I get opened up a lot against real opponents but I had a lot of fun. Not sure if I was playing with any of gundamgaf
Question: What are my options if my opponent is using rainbow step at point blank range while I'm recovering? I got caught by that a few times.

Use any attack/ability that gives you movement or will come out faster than opponents melee.
Use boost to dash away or beat the opponents melee with your own rainbow steps.
If you are out of boost and are in landing recovery, well you are just out of luck and your only hope is that your partner will save you.
Went through Arcade Route B last night with Johnny Ridden's Zaku II. Awesome agility on that suit but a little bit less firepower than I like, overall.
What's the best way to use his spinning move? It seems like it's useful as an evasion maneuver but also a way to cover ground quickly without using boost. A few times I was able to chain together a couple of offensive moves with a spin in the middle for a nice looking overall maneuver but it was pure luck.
Also, the Extreme Gundam who rides around on the Pegasus horse is very cheap!

Ah, I'll try boosting away next time. I just need to work on reacting to it.

I want to get on tonight for sure
Sochi 2014?
The offline missions are easy (even on extreme), just level up the suits as getting to MAX and Infinity is pretty fast to do. The easiest way to do that is get the SP bonus skill and level that one up (level 6 gives 2x SP, MAX gives 4x!), then play a couple of the easier online missions and you'll have more points than you'll ever need

Yes, yes it is. Ranged stuff seems to take him down the fastest. Melee always ends up in getting slaughtered.

Nice games. Im not too sure who I fought other than Bev but those were fun games. I was ProtoZERO. I dont understand the online portion. If there is a full room of 12 how does one choose to fight a certain group of people? I press circle for most of the menus. When Im in a random room, I am never sure if some of the players even want me to join in.

Unless you're in a team hold room where you can choose what team you want to stay in, a group of 4 players are randomly selected from the room to play together if they are not already in a match.

How do you quit from an online game? I play games after games sometimes without seeing the lobby. i just had to quit a game by pressing the home button.

In the room lobby, press square. Select the bottom option in the menu and confirm.

You mean during the score tallying bit? Just choose the bottom option to quit back out to the lobby.

Is there a neogaf group that plays ranked matches? I was trying to get a few random matches started but was only able to play one.

It sucks that even today we don't have a way to play reliably with people from the other side of the world.
Has anybody had any luck playing with Japanese players (Obviously the vast majority of players), or is it pretty much relegated to fellow gaffers?
Will an online pass be worth purchasing? (Either way, I have the 1000 yen card ready)

You know that has to be laggy as all fuck. I can't even play with people from Mexico on Street Fighter without the game almost crashing. Although, this game hopefully has better netcode.
Spanish-Speaking hatemail is pretty common. It's the username. lol If you guys want games, do the standard Japanese username: "Nomura10083747" "Komuro84857" "Takeda1103847"
It's not that bad. Certainly, the game feels slower, but as long as you're not on 5 mbps, on wireless, or in Europe, the game runs smoothly enough for everyone.
When DonkeyShow hosts from the UK though, it can get pretty laggy but that clears after a few seconds.
Haven't had much time to play, but I'm starting to get the hang of this game. Today was mostly the CPU, but it was mostly to get movement down.
Now managing my boost isn't as awkward now.
I'm still bad at knowing how to handle an opponent that's about to melee me.

I'm in SoCal and play with my friend who's in Japan. Had other Japanese players enter the lobby and it still felt like local play besides a rare lag spike here or there. Granted I'm not completely used to the game, but it's definitely much better than other fighters with netplay.

I actually play with way more Japanese people than USA/EU players. Japanese players don't seem quite as keen on kicking me as soon as I join.

I don't know how it works on Gundam, but in SF, I had a US account even though I was living in Tokyo. So, they presumed that my connection was just awful. (don't blame them, a little lag can ruin SF) It's more their culture to just wait for you to leave on your own then kick you out, in my experiences.
What probably helps keeping you from getting booted is that they presume your account is Japanese, so they have no expectations of dreadful lag.
No, there's like, an indicator like a cell phone reception. More bars = better connection, less bars = LAG. You will be kicked from JP rooms if you dont have enough bars. Or so they say.
It's all about the bars.

Yeah, that's how it is in SF. The only difference is, of course, that they can see you are from a foreign country. (Flag Icon)

Game runs pretty damned good. Even when I finally managed to connect to Donkey Show in the UK from Japan. Connected to the US also and while it may show up as red, game seems to play just fine.

Make sure you install them if you didn't do so already, and you replace the songs in the BGM menu under one of the briefing room options.
