GG's y'all. But can't help but feel I was ruining the matches with my connection. It was fine the last time I joined. Guess I should avoid playing when Atcha is in the group.
Also, I noticed I haven't figured out how to play a back unit correctly. I'm unable to cover my lead partner and seem to always miss.

I felt so happy when I caught Spade with Virsago's super beam before he blew Donkey Show's DX head off.
Great moment in gundam extrem vs !

Thinking about some of those matches with Spade in the God Gundam I just realized I never once tried to use Arche's counter move. =/ I'm not sure what the timing on it is but it seems like it would be one way to defend against the rushdown. That and actually using block once in a while, which I tend to completely forget about.
I also need to set up some custom messages like Donkey Show uses so I can coordinate with my teammate better. That's one of the reasons Atcha and I struggled when we were on the same team. There wasn't much communication and it's hard to help your partner out effectively like that. It definitely would have helped during some of God Gundam's melee strings to have had a message ready asking for assistance.

Got in another room this evening about 9pm eastern and actually had a really fun time with a bunch of randoms and amazingly enough I was winning more than I was loosing. It's probably the first time I've been in a room for any length of time and maintained a better than 50% win ratio. To give you some idea I'm at 52 wins out of 176 matches. That's really, really bad but gives you some idea of how much fun I'm having that I still want to play and do better. I'll reach that 100 win trophy someday but I still will probably need help with the 10 win streak trophy sometime.
I'm sticking with Arche because I like his style. Not much in the way of defense or long range but I love the pressure he brings to the mid/close game and he has some pretty brutal melee power. If I can keep learning to use him better and maintain that 50% win ratio online then I will be more than happy.

Here's the epic save in youtube form! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmwY1wjl_ms
I will say I got too trigger happy with the Sat Cannons, but they're so fun. o.o
Playing enough, both partners should know that they need to watch each other's back when playing against melee oriented characters like God/Master/Dragon... etc. Those cuts have to be there from either teammate whether or not it's you or your partner getting rushed down.
As for Arche and its counter, you need like half a second before it goes into the proper frames for countering. Doing it on the fly isn't the best way to do it, especially when they're already in your face. Sometimes you're better doing the neutral BC as it gets you vertical very quick. If you're feeling lucky, you can quickly follow it with B to come down with a fast attack.

Unicorn can't rock the beam magnum in Destroy Mode, can it? It does so on the select screen :/

Its melee capability seems way better in Destroy Mode at least. General Grievous up in this bitch.
Shouta

That would be utter broken.
Destroy mode is unicorn's melee mode so. Faster, better step speed, faster melee, a few stuns and etc.

I'd be afraid if it could rock the Beam Magz in Destroy Mode as Shouta so eloquently puts it.
BTW, is something wrong with the IRC today? Can't connect at all.

Didn't see any mention of an IRC channel in the first couple posts, could someone point me to the network and room name? Thanks!

Yeah, I've had no luck with all my clients. =/
It's on espernet and the room is #gafgundam.

Thanks, I'll probably start hopping on there in the next couple days.
There was a small tourney here on Saturday (I think 13 or 14 teams) as a side event that my friends and I entered. I haven't been playing much lately since I've been busy with other shit but my gf and I took 5th and my friends took 1st. Losers finals and grand finals were streamed on finestko's twitch account so if you check around the archives for the most recent NCI those matches will probably be near the end. I'll try to dig up a direct link to it if I have some time later. It definitely made me want to start putting in work and leveling up though, but it's hard trying to balance this with a few fg's.

You mean when it switches to its other armour like mode? Melee. Thats your only option as far as I know, hit it a bunch of times close range and it will switch back to walky gundam mode.

Didn't try getting up close and personal with them. I was so focused on dodging all the beam spamming lol. I'll try that when I get back on....thanks.

I honestly don't know how I was able to sit through all of it prior considering the red connections I get coming from the UK. I'm happy with my bronze ensign rank and I'm sticking with it, lol.
And thanks Beam Magz and Spade. :3
Great !
I understand pretty much my RX-78-2 Gundam . I can't wait to play with you guys
I will try to handle Zeta gundam (luv this series
).DAT GAME
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
So, I hadn't really checked out this thread, but recently I've been getting into Gundam so I really want to pick this up if it comes stateside...
Especially because Harry Ord's in it. So disappointed they put Sochie in DW3 over him. For people with the game, how does he and the Gold SUMO play? Please tell me he yells UNIVERSE! like in the show, that was my favorite part.

1) Stateside? LOL. But honestly, this probably isn't gonna come stateside so import and enjoy. It's not hard to understand anyway.
And don't let the DW: Gundam series localization fool you. It's riding the DW name versus Gundam. It's practically a dead franchise in the west, sadly.
2) As for Harry Ord and the Gold Sumo... UNIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERSE!!!
Hm... While I'm definitely having some success as Sinanju and Sazabi as of late, I am still at a loss as how to deal with the RX-78. The thing seems pretty good for a 2000 cost unit and the Guntank assist is pretty damn fast.
And to this day, I still can't get a good match on Ranked.

Gold Sumo is fuuuuuun. His beam pistol bursts are crazy fast and very difficult to dodge, especially if he's fairly close. I don't think any single move he has does crazy damage but he's quick and able to put some pretty mean combos together. There's a guy in the US that I play with occasionally (thedragon32 I think it is) who's a beast with Gold Sumo.

Gundam can be a tough cookie to crack as it has a very complete moveset and the ability to shoot with its back turned around. The biggest thing to remember is that he doesn't have any overwhelming advantages so playing smart and better than your opponent is going to get you pretty far. He doesn't have many big damage attacks so he really has to work for it.

Uploaded a match SpadeRunner and I did just awhile back tonight using Blue Frame and LaGOWE against a Full Cloth and Providence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hEtd1eQgMU

Agh, no decent working internet at my house until the end of the week. So haven't been getting any games in at all.
But Tallgeese III seems like a really fun 2nd unit to pick up. SO can't wait to play some more games against you guys.

Nice match. You guys took them down quite nicely.
I stuck to single player tonight and got more missions in the Commander tier finished as well as a couple more emblems and trophies. I'm up to the mission now where you have to use FA ZZ against Haman in the Quebeley and while I can pass it I've yet to S rank it for the emblem. My FA ZZ is only like level 10 or 12 though so I have some work to do on him yet.

Thanks man! =)
And Norcal Install tourney last weekend had EXVS streaming during their event: http://www.twitch.tv/finestko/b/304860043
It's refreshing hearing english commentary over the game and nice to see it slowly slipping into the FGC in the west. Hopefully we'll see more down the line in bigger events. =)
EDIT: YEAH BRING IT TO EVO!!! :O
And the Luna gameplay is killing me. ;__;
