Be sure to make good use of the charge shot. Remember that it has unlimited ammo!

I'll have to incorporate that!
Added myself tot he GundamGAF list. Played a little bit of this over the weekend. It took a little experimenting to get it all to click, but I am starting to get the hang of it. There are just so many units to try! How on earth does one settle into a favorite?
Are there no endings for Arcade Mode? I've finished on the A and B branches and it just goes right to the end credits, which is kind of lame. I did have to continue though. Does that have something to do with it?
Are the 1000 point units any good? I have always liked the Gundam ez8 but in the game it seems very limited on both weapons and capabilities. It IS fun, though, when I manage a win with it. The only 3000 I've tried so far was nu-gundam, and I would either do amazingly well, or get completely rocked by the AI (sticking to D-branch in Arcade Mode, which is pretty tough).
Really glad I picked this up though. The last time I played one of these was Federation vs Zeon DX on PS2. It's come a long way on polish and on the tightness of the gameplay. Now I just need to learn the mechanics and get better!

I knew that bug looked familiar, it's the same one that Wing Zero got in Next Plus, lol.
I'm happy with a free Marie though.

what's the Gunpla HUD
Just started the game only to see that some of my MadCatz stick buttons don't work anymore T_T
I opened it to check if some of the contacts were messed up but everything seems to be alright.
What in the world is going on here? I didn't use my stick for 6 months or so. Did one of the last firmware updates screw it up or something? u_u

Have you checked your button configs? Or is it just plain not working (e.g. O isn't registering as confirm, and X isn't registering as cancel)?
That's the first thing I did. I reconfigured the buttons to match my play style.
X, circle, triangle and square buttons work fine.
Start, Select and Home on the other hand aren't recognized at all.

Hmm, not familiar enough with Madcatz sticks and their settings to answer this one.
But, if it were up to me, that seems like an acceptable loss, one that can be made up with by having a DS3 nearby.

Did you check the lock switch?
IIRC if it's activated it'll lock out Start, Select, and Home so you don't accidentally pause during a tournament.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuu I'm way way out of practice lol. I guess I freaked out for nothing.
Fuckin lock switch, I completely forgot about it.
Thanks!

You can get it for a lot less than $100. The $100 version has a bunch of extra songs. The regular one is $65-70.
Buy eet.
We've got GAFfers online, plus there are randoms out there as well. Jump in, learn, adapt. That's what I've been doing, and I'm having a blast.

To be fair most of those songs are awesome, but if you're willing to find versions to cut your own custom soundtrack you can save the money.

They are awesome, I also bought the Premium G Sound Edition. Not everyone wants to dropp $100, though.

Trying out Crossbone X2. Is there really any reason to throw off the cloak while it's still active? Haven't noticed anything too significant.
Also, Gunner Zaku is just a load of fun, but I'm getting super greedy with that CSa, and

I get to blow up Shinn in an effective way, so all the more reason to use it.
Finally got the game today and played way more than I should have.
Kind of picked up Impulse (despite me disliking Shinn), Gunner Zaku and the Delta Plus. Would love to play the V2 Gundam and Exia more. But Exia seems to be a melee machine and the V2 Gundam is a 3000 cost machine. I don't feel confident enough for either
Still need to test a few units. It's been a lot of fun though!
Also, I might need to test out my fight stick for this, as Square -> XX -> Square -> XX is way harder to do with my thumb than my index finger. Need to find a picture of that cabinet so I use the right layout.

You throw it off so you could throw it back on after destroying an enemy suit and look really cool.

Standard arcade stick layout is:
Shoot -- Melee -- Boost
Target -- Nothing -- Communication

Which sounds a lot more comfortable... I'll probably never get to play this in arcades anyway (better things to do than play Gundam during Japan trips ww), so I might just try around and find one that works for me.

I just found this to work better for me. Had to make do with the arcade one before that. You might as well be giving the other side your money with how good a lot of the people in the arcades are lol.
Stuff like this reminds me of the arguments between NeoGeo fans about button layout
X X vs X X X X

Personally I was part of the first group of 2 over 2. Couldnt pull off things the way I wanted to with the 4 across layout.

So SCR is going to have random select for the stages?
I thought the Japanese standard was Side 7?

Some cray ass control schemes.
Embrace your pinkies, guys.
"How do you CSa?"
Probably (hopefully) thumb on Shoot.

There a gaf room going now or in the immediate future?
So I've been playing this game on and off [I can't play as much as I like because of work, but what can you do?] and I've been trying to learn the ins and outs of the game's fundamentals/Reborns Gundam while going through mission mode.
His transformation gimmick is pretty cool, and I noticed you can do some nifty things like Melee[Gundam] > Taser thing [Cannon] > Beam [Gundam]. But does he have a lot of ways to incorporate that transformation gimmick/is learning them essential to playing him or can you just focus on one mode and be done with it? [Though the latter seems like shooting yourself in the foot somehow.]
All in all, I'm really enjoying the game, and I hope to have the fundamentals down soon [I can't Boost Cancel properly for some reason yet.] so I can hopefully join you guys and not suck.

Index finger on Shoot, thumb on Boost.
Don't ask me how but it works very well that way.

Grain of salt this because I'm terrible, but you don't have to switch in the middle of combos, but you DO need to be able to switch in the heat of battle. I think that you should continue playing and get comfortable switching back and forth. Fortunately, it's merely another moveset, so it's not too bad to learn.
Reborn is a dick with that behind the back shot stuff. I never think he's facing me then bam.

I like how he says he thinks it feels like an expansion pack.
Not everyone can feel the difference between the two games, and it's not like jumping from SFII to SFIII. I have to admit part of me feels that the price of the game should have been lower.
