No, you're right, the Zudah's shots are more accurate - the Ez8 makes up for it with its larger red lock radius and its angled shots, which can go over most objects.
You can forget about that top right .jiff, though - its melee is only slightly better than it was in vanilla EXVS, which was terrible. You certainly won't be charging through anything with the suit!

Yeah I dont like most of the melee movesets it has unfortunately. Thankfully the weapons and recharging support make up for that. The super is kinda too easy to get yourself killed with though since you get locked into place and if your target isnt stunned not that great of a successful hit rate. Even if some of the shots connect its not like it does that much damage.
Good point about the arced shots, that has helped a bit for pop and shoot when behind something.

Yeah, the super is pretty bad when you're out in the open. On the plus side, the EZ-8 can switch targets during the duration of it, so you can just spam mortar shots at either or both opponents until the super's over. It's useful when everyone else is tangled up with each other - just not in most other situations.
It's also good for long-range shots in general, since it tracks a bit better than the cannon's shots. The only drawbacks are that it's even slower than the standard shot, and that the camera movement can be a bit disorienting. Then again, I'm biased - ask anyone in GundamGAF, I'm a mortar monster.

Considering I main the Zudah can see the draw to units like that. I should go mess with the Hildorf next.
Totally random but I lol'd

Nice choice. I can't figure out Hildolfr for the life of me. Its movement is such a shift from everything that most of the other suits have to deal with, it's really throwing me off. And apparently the suit mode is important now, which is just blowing my mind. Gotta build up that muscle memory!

All about dat tank melee.

Folks Ive watched in the arcades just go insane with spinning around the map and shooting. Keeping their distance and doing constant knockdowns.
I love the super.
If that's the situation, why not counter him by picking WZTV as well?

I've seen some really good Wing TV's, this guy wasn't there. He was blessed with having an amazing teammate that was godlike at harassing and distracting, whenever we came close to beating them was when we all but ignored the Wing TV. Whatever, I guess it's a strategy, they played to their strengths and covered their weakness. We're all entitled to some salt every now and then.
Thanks, I was doing pretty well with them last night. Sochie is way worse in my opinion, I used her mostly for distraction and did the big damage with Corin. I'm going to try and stick with them for a little bit.

Tried to join the IRC but no one was there. I"m sure there'll be plenty of activity Friday night. It's too late right now.

I've been losing all day and I just realized that I kept forgetting to pick Blast Burst. I'm the smartest.

We've been talking about having a set-team night. Hoping to improve teamwork. The question is, of course, how do we choose teams? Do you get to choose your own teammate, or would it be better if we did it randomly and switched teammates every 10 matches or so?
Either way, I feel like that would be fun. It might be unappealing to those without a teammate in mind or people who put a lot of value in their W/L percentage.

I'd be down for that. Let people people pick at first and then have everyone switch every now and then, do it like the person on the bottom goes to the team on the right and the person on top goes to the left. It might be a nightmare to organize that way, but it could work.
Most of the Gaffers I've played with are already great at working together (regardless of overall skill), it's more the random people in NA/EU rooms that have the trouble. I swear it's more like two 2v1 matches going on simultaneously with some of the people I get paired with in these shuffle rooms.
Started messing around with Arios this morning in the Mission mode just to have another suit to level up. I really had no expectations for Arios but I find myself really liking the mobility and focus on beam weapons.
Unfortunately I can't find any information on his move list to see what I might be missing. Does anyone have experience with Arios or a link to some updated move lists?

He let you off the hook easy.
Another fun romp from today. I'm glad no one in here is a prick like that.

"lighting_theif" he's either 10 years old or with some sort of social/learning disability. His username makes me [sic]. Surely he meant to say... oh well, who knows.

That reminds me of one match I was in against a team of two Wing Zero TVs and I jumped up and saw them hitting each other with the spinning gerobis. I don't get people online sometimes lol
Mr Fahrenheit

That's beautiful. Were you responding to him, or was he not the host and had to keep playing with you? He was the host of the room I joined and immediately kicked me after the match.
If I ever see him again I'm going to have to go as far out of my way as possible to annoy him.
EvilKatarn

No, I didn't respond to him. Those were over the span of two losing matches. We won some too. Sure he was miles better than me but sheesh, like get fucked with that attitude. Next time I see that guy I ain't playing.
Still, highlight of the night was getting to kick a ton of people in the face with Kamille's Mk-II and even managed to get some successful EX attacks off. Coolest attack in the game without a doubt.
There's not just videos in the OP, but this very meaty guide as well.
Oh man, I was on that same page yesterday but my browser didn't show the drop down list for the actual guide. Thanks!

I don't know. Like I said, in our match the loss was largely on me, but he wasn't exactly doing too hot himself. I may have died first, but he wasn't very far behind me. He seemed to be a painfully average Wing TV that probably had a lucky streak, which prompted him to go get himself a high horse so he could complain everytime he lost.

Just forget about it man. You will meet shitbirds everywhere in games or not. Keep yourself wrapped up in thought about it too much and next thing you know it will be plugging holes in your stomach at the local ER.
Play the game, blow up shit, have fun. Ignore the rest of the bullshit.

If you practice blocking it can help give you a window to counter attack due to them getting stunned for a sec from the block.
Asides from that not much else you can do apart from getting better with movement and always try to keep a gap between you and your target. Try to stay near your partner too so you will be in their firing range to help assist and vice versa.

But people like him are the best part about online games. How could I ever give that up?
yea i lose where i am all the time and i having a problem knowing where people are at some times i get tunnel vision and lose track of things.

The more you play the more you will get used to things. Just dont give up, it will come with time. That and there are some maps which just benefit melee players more than others too due to the landscape. Keep glancing at the mini radar as it helps on occasion.
i going to keep playing i love the game its just i feel overwhelmed sometimes and dont know what to do in certain situations . ive been playing these game sense fed vs zaft but never really play with other people before vanilla and just didnt play that much so its still new to me playing with other people.

yeah real players Vs. AI are just two totally different beasts, though must say that fighting against humans is just so much more exciting due to being all that more unpredictable.
