Have you been invited to the chat channel? If not, I'll send you one in a few.
I chose the free shipping option too and it only took 7 days this time (instead of the usual 10-14)
Thanks, installing right now..

Shieeet, EU Gundam League is coming in full force. Prepare yourself, Wazzim!

I want that stick so bad. Shame it's so pricey. If it was 4000 yen cheaper I would have ordered it without batting an eye, but it really feels like I'm paying extra for the damn license here. Similar full-Sanwa sticks don't cost nearly as much.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too considering I can make something similar with an HRAP V3 with all Seimitsus and similar art.
Same over here. I miss that game, it didn't deserve to bomb. Guess all they needed was a popular franchise.

I'm sitting on day 13 of my cheap shipping from playasia... the postie probably wonders why I stare him down as he passes every morning by this point... blast you cheap shipping!
While I loved Gotcha Force too, I guess the "kiddy" + "Pokemon" + "GCN-only" aspects really only served to hurt it.
It was a nice diversion from the Gundam license, and certainly was a nice test-bed for certain things that would pop up in Gundam Vs. anyway, however.

Do want...but I wish it wasn't an exclusive to Bamco's store. Not sure if I want to bother with the added cost of using a proxy.
Weekend kinda got taken over by other life stuff, but hopefully this week/weekend I'll have more time. I'll be around about 7 to 11 pm Eastern most nights.

That stick looks really nice. I may have to pick that up come March. Although I may look for something similar in Akihabara next month if I can.
This game is quickly becoming one of my favorites this year. But I've never been so challenged playing online in a long time. I haven't won many matches at all, and yet I don't seem to care that much. The fun is overriding that one issue of mine for sure.

Was the other that you were bullied into it?
Also sticks: http://www.siliconera.com/2011/12/13/an-arcade-stick-made-for-gundam-fans/
That stick is freaking sexy but why wait until March to put it on sale? Seems like a long time after the fact. And I have to say that this game plays really well (and is probably easier) with the controller. Having special melee and special shot mapped to shoulder buttons is foolproof.
You guys who have played the game in the arcades and are playing it at home with a stick now: does the stick allow superior control over using just a standard controller? I'm genuinely curious as to what the advantages are for this game.

That's a really good question. The large buttons on the arcade stick make it easier for AC, AB, etc., but that advantage is evened with macros on pad.
As for the late release date, who knows? Maybe it'll coincide with some future DLC or even Extreme Vs. Full Boost's release in arcades, lol
Would there be any doubt? Considering the price paid for the game itself.

6390 yen for a Japanese console game is rather common.
Oh, ouch. =/

Charge attacks would probably be easier for me with a stick.

Shouta mentioned he preferred pad over stick, I think.
Only partially related but Hobby Link Japan is having an up to 75% off Gunpla (basically, Gundam models and toys) sale right now. I was linked to the sale from Crunchyroll as their deal of the day is an HCM Pro Dynames 1/200th for $6.99 which is sort of a ridiculously good deal.
I also snagged a 1/200th Hyakushiki from the sale for about 750yen and if I didn't already have most of my funds committed this month for Christmas I would definitely be buying more units. Most of the sale stuff I saw was the HCM Pro 1/200th scale but that's just fine with me as I think it's the ideal size for display on a shelf.
And now, it's time to play more Gundam!

The room where my Gundams lived is now the nursery. They needed a new home, so they live in my office at one of the high schools I work at.
Any student or coworker ever comment on them?

They're hidden up on a bookshelf so you don't really notice them walking by. Some of my students think they're cool, though.

Commander Level Trial Mission "Battle on the Burning Sands"
How do you defeat Aina and the Apsalus? She aways runs away and I get a B rank.

I just picked a 3000 class suit (Unicorn in this case), leveled it up like a motherfucker, got in her grill and melee'd the shit out of her until she died.
I'll send you an invite.

Man, a fully upgraded DX in Trial Missions is hilariously powerful. The Satellite Cannon rips through things like crazy.
On that note, the Tactical Arms melee attack for Blue Frame does insane damage and even more when you're in Extreme Burst. It's like DX's Sat cannons at close range. It's hard to land but when you do, it's insane damage.

Good games, Gundam-GAF
Leveling up for sure. I just need to learn to block.
Losing after 9 wins:
Gouf = Me
Guntank = My wrists
And Donkey Show, I know that feel

That's the one that starts with God and DX... then you fight Destiny, Turn A, and QAN[t]? That's the one that took me forever and a day to beat.Donkey can you describe your experience clearing 'VS. Gundam (2)' on newtype, what unit you used and any general strategy
I keep playing this game late at night when I'm probably not at the top of my game. That mission is pretty rough!
I used Cherudim and sniped and ran like a motherfucker the whole way through.
And _dementia... *hugs*
But my trophy percentage is now at 71% last time I checked.
I've been busy at work and haven't been able to play for quite awhile. I'll be available for awhile in about 5 hours from now however, hope to see some of you online lol.
To anyone who uses Hi-nu Gundam, what do you think of it comparing to nu Gundam? I've been using it casually and I found no reasons to choose it over nu Gundam. No defending funnels, the bazooka is less accurate than Nu's and it doesn't do a flip.

There's nothing too fancy there but there really aren't many fancy combos you can do. That's ignoring the fact you'd never get some of these off in a match, heh. But good effort either way.

A shame no Crossbone melee in there. Definitely some of the cooler ones belong to those units.

LOL. Too much Gundam!
BTW, anybody else in EU-GAF get their copies yet aside from Wazzim?
