Thanks! Yeah, I was wondering if that was it. Damn, that's steep. How's the menu navigation/play/online play?
I've played my share of imports, so I'm not intimidated by it - just curious. It also looks as if the story/politics/etc are out and it's just VS play, which is great for import.
It seems the "Asian" version is cheaper than JP - are there any caveats with this I should be aware of?

Nope. Even the JP DLC is compatible. Buy the Asian release with confidence.
Awesome - thanks for the tip. With the Vita coming so soon, all this stick modding I've been doing, and freakin' Valentine's day, I really can't justify it unless it pops up wherever I have credit. Fingers crossed!
It IS at a local shop downtown for $94 New, Asian version. Price sound about right?

Oh man, SCV
I get that a lot on IRC
you should hop on irc and get into more games with usgood games tonight guys, cant stay away from dat gundam no matter how many other games I get
Thanks for the welcome guys. I'll be sure to hop on to the irc for more than a couple of minutes when things calm down for me over here.
The game is really easy to pick up imo. The main menu is written in english. You might have some trouble with trial missions but, they're pretty much all destroy X target, X amount of targets in certain time. Things like that. Pretty straight forward. Netcode is pretty good when I play people from the US and Europe.

That's awesome, thanks. Do you guys have a GAF player list, or are there actually enough people in North America for random pickup games? That would be crazy impressive...

Wish I could get how to use IRC. I've installed chatzilla but I have no idea how to set it up.
Too bad I couldn't join yesterday's game, but I was too tired to stay up late.
Here the gaf player list. Choose whoever you like.

There's a decent amount of NA/EU players so you'd be able to find a random room usually from the afternoon on, whatever time zone you're in.
Best way to get a hold of us is the IRC (espernet/#gafgundam). We're pretty much on daily, so you won't have too many issues finding people to play with from here.
Do you have Chrome? Just install the mibbit web app from the Chrome App store and make sure you set the server to Espernet and type #gafgundam in the channel box. Easy stuff. =)
FB's loketest started today and goes until Monday included!

Cost changes for now are Sazabi upped back to 3000, Virsago upped to 2500, Kshatriya down to 2000, GP-02 upped to 2500 (?!) and finally X-2 Kai down to 2000.
New units and their costs are :
- Gyan 2000
- Victory 1000
- Stargazer 2000
- Strike Noir 2500
- Throne Drei 2000
I guess there will be more additions each month, like for vanilla, but for now we're not missing on too much I guess.

Good to see the costs for Noir and Throne Drei. Need more 1000 suits and it's interesting seeing Victory as one. Wonder when they're gonna add Efreet Kai, Red Extreme, and Corin's Kapool since they all show up in the intro.
Anybody who's in JP check it out!

In the mean time, choose a suit with a female pilot like Gunner Zaku

My reaction to the GP-02 at 2500 was "huh wat." I can't see the nuke being a basis for moving him up, since you have to do an extraordinary amount of effort to fire the nuke in a decent spot (unlike its versions in GvG and GvG Next). And its not even that great in melee even with the saber charged. I'm kinda curious on what changes they are going to give it.
Or potentially it could be the new "Kshatriya" of the Full Boost 2500 units.

Nope that's as good as you can expect it to look. Otherwise it ends up being something like this:

Here's to hoping that's why its a 2500 now!

There is a config preset that fits the Hori Real Arcade Pro and Madcatz Fightstick TE layout perfectly to mimic the arcade panel's layout. Did you try that?
I started playing this with a stick so I had to get accustomed to pad play. Could be growing pains, as it took me a while to adjust to pad (MP farming was just more comfortable lounging back with a dualshock 3).
Oh I didn't know that :O
I have a MadCatz tournament edition. I will try to change the config right now.
Thanks a lot!

I don't know any Japanese, but apparently it's called "Arcade Stick 1" and on the button config menu the preset is just one movement to the right.

Finally picked this up. If someone doesn't mind adding me I'm in Japan so that's my timezone. I'll be available to play most nights. My PSN is Dis3ngag3d. I'm not that awesome right now but I'm practicing.
BOOM!
I've been playing for the past 3 or 4 hours with a friend, it's freakin awesome. The 60fps is truly gorgeous (though splitscreen is horrific), and I'm getting a handle on the different play styles.
I'm about 50% through Cadet missions now, trying to figure out how to properly cancel melee into bigger moves at this point

Super interested in this, but why is it nearly 100 dollars?
I'll probably still bite, but is it out of print or something?

I'm thinking of importing this. Is Full Boost a completely new game?

It's the next variation in long long line of Gundam Vs. games. Import GEV because you will be waiting a while the next home version.

Oh wow! That didn't seem to take long getting to you.
Importing exchange rate. It's fairly standard, I got it on the slightly cheaper end (especially since it was from an actual brick & mortar store)
Don't think it's out of print
Yeah seriously. I'm such a sucker for awesome imports. Bah. I'm gonna be broke this month after PSvita and Valentine's day, haha.
If you meant delivery, I went downtown to VideoGamesNewYork and picked up their only copy. Glad I had some credit there to lessen the blow.
