I would but I'm still waiting for my Spiegel or Maxter. I'm still mad that G gets no sort of love from Scamco while 00 gets like 30 units.

00 is more popular right now, they're gonna with what's making them money.
I thought Unicorn was popular right now. Anyways, still surprised that the new AGE gundam thing hasn't shown up yet considering it's the newest anime gundam besides Unicorn. Does the protag suit have any special weapons or whatever?
Also G forever, Seed has a bunch of suits too.

Unicorn is popular right now, it had four suits (Unicorn, Shinaju, Kshatriya, Delta Plus).
It is strange AGE hasn't shown up at all. There are three versions of AGE-1 and two versions of AGE-2 at the moment.
What's so bad about it?

AGE 2nd generation has been fun. Haters can suck it.
Well the only reason I haven't bought this game is partly because of Spiegel's and Char's Zaku's absence. Though when I heard about full boost I figured that they'd port it to the ps3 eventually so instead of wasting money I don't have on two versions I'd just rather wait and get the new one with all the shiny additions. So in the meanwhile I'll just be here in the sidelines waiting for my G reps and salivating/crying.
Why don't you buy it for the poor man if it's only money.

Alright GundamGAF, I buckled and picked this up at PAX.
I've been hammering away at the Trial Missions and collecting Emblems, but I get destroyed pretty hard in some online player matches (Ranked? Hah hah, maybe some day).
What's the best way to learn? It seems there's some complexity to melee combat in particular, but I feel like I just can't move as well or fast as some others, despite using the Boost Dash and Step.

Best way to learn really is to join our IRC channel and play with us. We might be able to pick up some things you could do better and give you some immediate feedback.

Closest thing to that would be ripping it from youtube at this link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjE1KmsM78E&feature=player_detailpage#t=462s

If you keep dying and retrying the mission gets easier (enemies have less HP) if I remember correctly. No negative effect on medals.
That's good to know. Thanks!

GGs guys. I don't know how much of that was me sucking or just me being rusty :/
Say, have any of you played any of the Gundam Musou games? Are they any good? I traditionally loathe the genre, but I really enjoyed Chaos Legion, go figure.

It's your typical Musou game, for better or worse. I played the first two, not the third.
The first one kinda sucked gameplay-wise but had a very fun crossover story mode. Second one was much better but lost Japanese voices and the crossover thing was limited to very basic interaction in missions.
Third one was supposedly nice, but has only 00 and Unicorn as units for their series, with the rest being DLC. Dunno about the gameplay or crossover aspects.

That last part's not entirely true. In addition to the 00 Riser and Unicorn, they also put in the Reborns Gundam and Sinanju - it's a protagonist/antagonist setup for both shows, just like most of the other shows. It's true that they did add other suits to the game as DLC, though.
The main plot is a crossover, like the first game. Unfortunately, most of the dialogue is done with talking heads instead of cutscenes, but the few cutscenes that are included are passable. There are a bunch of History, themed, and 'what-if" missions as well, so I'd say that overall Gundam Musou 3 strikes a balance between the first two games when it comes to story.
And I'll add a response to your post as well, _dementia.
One of the things that I like about the Gundam Musou games is that they're a bit faster than the other games in the franchise, thanks to the fact that the suits can just boost across the fields. Gundam Musou 3, specifically, is probably one of the fastest paced Musou games, since the maps are smaller and they added catapults in certain sectors, which makes traveling to different ends of the map easier.
Also, you can cancel attacks with dashes, so you can start a chain and then tack on a dash at any point, even at the end of it (I think, not entirely sure). It's useful for reducing recovery time, moving away from enemy swarms or starting up another chain, and as long as you don't overheat you'll usually be able to keep moving.
There's other stuff to the series, but off the top of my head I can't think of anything else.
And on a personal note, I feel better about the move to Gaming Community. I wanted to post in the thread more often, but I felt cagey about when it would be moved; I didn't want to be the guy who got the thread moved, if that makes any sense.

It's all good man! You'll be able to knock off dat rust soon enough.
And semi-biased, but I love the GM games, especially 3... and I usually don't like musou games in general.

Hmmm, we tend to start from 22h on but we'll see if anyone is up for it earlier. =)

I booted up GvG Next on impulse last night and it kind of made me sad because Altron Gundam EW and Gundam Spiegel would have looked really cool in EXVS's engine.
Gentlemen, GAFdam lives on. We just had two nights in a row of late night East Coast Fundam. Our West Coast and worldwide buddies are welcome to join us too; the IRC channel is #gafgundam on EsperNet, and makes things easier to organise instead of the shitty PSN chat. Come in and say hello, but don't worry if we're all AFK, haha.
Good games to Mecha, Kincaido, Lostconfused, and Enron these last two nights! Nu will rise again.

A bunch of things. Some folks are were talking about their Arcades being empty at times where'd it be full normally, in places where they had quite a few machines. Seems a few others were agreeing. Thread then went off in a few tangents about reasons why from the game not feeling fresh, player manners, mechanics, balance etc. Some of it is interesting and a fair amount of it is usual internet stupidity.
