4/6bb >> 4/6bb cancel to 4/6AB is usually the best option for melee. 4/6AB is also always great to get pressure off of you. Plus he has a lot of boost so don't be afraid to use it.

This came in the mail the other day and while it is rather enjoyable I am really not very good at it. Think I need to spend some more time with the basics before I do much else. Can only imagine how badly I would get beat down if I attempted to play online.
^ this is everyone at first, keep at it

Ah, ggs everyone. 
Oh, pick up turn X gundam, I feel it's probably the best introductory mecha in the game.
As someone who got the game two days ago, I can tell you that it does get better. There are definitely some fundamental aspects that will make a huge difference between succeeding and failing as a beginner.
Also, the Gundam you pick makes a big difference too. I've had the best luck with RX-78-2 Gundam, Infinite Justice, and Red Astray.
I would recommend watching as much as you can of the tutorial videos Donkey posted in the OP, as they cover the crucial parts of the game. Also, playing online with #gafgundam is easy and nobody is going to be mad if you're learning. They've been very patient with me

Also, if you happen to get Strike Noir and/or Arios before February 10, you'll get some energy packs for Gundam Battle Operation... if you happen to play it. :S
It's all good man. We all have to start from somewhere. ^^ But if you wanna play online, you can jump in with us and not worry about messing up. We'll help you out.

It's usually your in the level you completed that will unlock EX stages. In the later routes, it is the sometimes the accumulated score of certain levels that will do it.
You'll be fine. ^^
If you like the slower powerhouse units then The O is pretty fun. I find his 360 (or is it 720?) degree spin toss to be hysterical.

Yup, that's right.
Also, Rainforce at gamefaqs found the movesets for Zaku III and Gold Frame: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/641161-kidou-senshi-gundam-extreme-vs/65040706
Zaku III Kai
a: Beam Rifle
CSa: ???(Probably Waist Beam Cannon Rapid Fire)
b: Beam Saber
CSb: ???(Probably Hide Bomb)
ab: ReGelg Assist
ac: Pressure
bc: Cyber Newtype's Power
Gold Frame
a: Beam Rifle
CSa: ???(Probably Lancer Darts)
b: Trikeros Kai
ab: Maga no Shirahoko (shotlancer)
ac: Mirage Colloid
bc: Maga no Ikutachi (energy drain claw)
Isn't AGE-01 a rumored upcoming, and the four in the OP are the confirmed? So I might need another 1000 yen beyond the 3000. Even though it's 500 a suit...might as well future proof some more.
That's what I was using "current" to refer to.

Its data exists, but only remnants of it versus all the other announced DLC so far. Plus Flit's VA credits don't exist whereas all the other pilots for the new DLC units do.

I hope AGE-1 is still coming, because I'm going to run this into the ground.

Well, you never know who'll show up really. Considering this image was for Full Boost about a month and a half ago from the mobile site...
Then we randomly get Zaku III and GP03 on top of Arios, Xi, Gold Frame, and Strike Noir for EXVS. I'm sure Namco wouldn't mind squeezing more money out of us with a couple more units. It wouldn't take anything away from FB either considering all the adjustments to the existing units and gameplay changes that are in that game as well.

I've wondered if they're waiting to release full boost alongside the PS4 launch just for some sort of "exclusive" title. I imagine they would still have a PS3 port release the same day, but having it at launch could help sway those who own a PS3 for games like this that live outside Japan. That might push a FB console release into 2014 (if there are delayed launches) hence all the DLC to keep this game alive. But won't there be another arcade release by next December? From what I understand about the release schedule.
I'm just hoping Sony keeps region free easy. I was planning to go PC/Nintendo from here on out, but games like EXVS really remind me of why I own some consoles.

I still say Full Boot PS3 will be unveiled at TGS and released in December 2013. That would follow the release pattern for EXVS arcade and console. Arcade profits are still relevant in Japan.
I don't think Bamco has any real reason to alienate the audience they have on the PS3 just yet. Especially not with a property like Gundam Vs., which really is only relevant in Japan at this point. That's a lot of money to be spending on a property that mostly makes its money in arcades anyway.
A future Tekken title may be more likely to be a "next-gen guinea pig", and that's because there's a bit more to gain from Tekken having a worldwide presence, where most don't have an arcade outlet to play the game.
That's what is in the update you need to download when you first pop in the game. All the "dlc" is is the unlock.

Unicorn is definitely a powerful unit. A complete zunda combo (Beam Rifle > Boost Cancel > BR > BC > BR) will do 200 damage. Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Remember to jump onto the IRC @Espernet #gafgundam if you wanna jump on some matches with Gundam GAF.

Was looking at the liveblog thread for tiering and they discussed Xi and GP03 placement.
3000
S Qan[T], Full Cloth Crossbone

B v > Turn-X, Unicorn, V2, hi-v, DX, Xi
C 00 > Wing, Turn-A
2500
S Infinite Justice, Tallgeese
A The O > Zeta
B Freedom, Crossbone X1
C Deathscythe, God Gundam, Cherudim, Gottrlatan > Arche, ZZ, Sazabi, Sinanju, GP03
D X2, Raphael, Qubeley, Kshatriya
2000
S -none-
A Char Gelgoog
B Forbidden, Dragon Susanoo > Heavyarms, Blue Destiny
C Hyaku Shiki Virsago, Gundam, Gold Sumo, Strike, Delta, F91, Hyaku Shiki Zeong > Messala, Dynames, Blue Frame, Gunner, Red Frame, Providence, Exia

1000
S Zaku2 Hildolfr
A -none-
B LaGOWE, Gouf
C Berga Ez8 > ACGuy Zuda Alex Red Qubeley,
D GunEZ
Remember, the placement in the respective tiers does not represent one suit necessarily better than the other, i.e. Xi being lower than DX in the 3000 B tier. If there is a ">" in the tier, the units to the left of it are considered better than the units to the right of it.
Shouta also mentioned this somewhere about the tiers if you need a little more clarification. It's about Full Boost tiers, but it applies to vanilla EXVS as well.

Barf, so many high tier seed units. Fix this shit bamco.

Fuck both Seed and 00. Not a single SEED or 00 suit should be higher than D tier.
It's really amazing to see how different Zero is here compared to what he became in Full Boost.
I ended up dropping him because he had so many issues in my mind in Extreme VS.
