Depends, though.
The scythe is a 2H weapon. I can suspect that it will slow the attack down, because of the effort taken to swing it because it is a 2H weapon. Gundams don't strike me as quick things, so it isn't like a person swinging it and becoming more agile. To be honest, it almost seems counter-intuitive for an attacker of that size to wield something that big. They should probably go for something that's a little lighter and faster.
If that were me, I'd go for the option to dual wield two lightweight swords. One to block and act as a guard, while the other in my dominant hand will be used for attacking quicker. It would make more sense given my size in comparison to the weapon. People underestimate it, but speed is an incredible asset to an attacker. As long as you're faster than the enemy and think quickly, you can probably get the upper hand.
Sometimes, you've gotta go substance over style.
...I think I've played too many videogames and I thought too hard about this.

They're not better. They don't have hearts and souls.

I've only seen Gundam Wing and that was when I was 11. >.>
Oh, and one episode of G-Gundam when I was 14.

Yeah, this.
I remember being hype as hell for that Toonami airing of Endless Waltz, though.

I wish we had Toonami up here. It sounds like a neat thing.
He has guns, a jeep, and a motorcycle!
Speaking of which... Why does Shadow the Hedgehog need a melee attack or a spindash?

He needs those as back-up for when his vehicle of choice flips over and explodes after 20 seconds in motion
Wow how lame

One of the driving forces behind me getting the game was the soundtrack.
So good is right.
So we're talking about your crazy mechs? pfft none are as formidable as the Egg Emperor, that guy is cheap.

Toonami always made Gundam seem like this real mature thing in its promos, when in reality it's just as anime as everything else ever
Endless Waltz was fantastic, and I shared that feeling at the time too.
I think a better question is why does he have those when he is capable of unleashing super sonic waves that can destroy practically anything. Answer: to cater to a specific audience.
I don't actually like Shadow after Heroes, I like him a lot before well, you know. Same thing for Gohan in Dragonball Z.

He definitely underutilizes Chaos Control. Honestly, I wouldn't... be completely averse to playing a Shadow RPG. It would be neat. I think.
Well, the story would be shit, but you know...
He can't get insurance.

He does that because he's so dark and he's a rebel.

Yeah, definitely. They did a fucking fantastic job providing that illusion, though.

I can think of many words to describe such an experience and let me tell you, neat isn't one of them.

This talk of a Shadow RPG only makes me want a Mario/Sonic RPG that much more.
GIVE IT TO ME NINTENDO. I HAVE MONEY FOR YOU.

I would only play a Shadow RPG if it had a Shut Up and Jam Gaiden level of satire and relative hilarity.
Needless to say, that'll never happen.

Nintendo clearly doesn't want your money! Or mine. ;___;
If Namco made it, I can assure that the use of gun attacks can be used as aerial launchers.
But if Sega or Nintendo made it, we probably won't see guns used much at all. After all, Shadow's moveset in Sonic Chronicles was more of a mystical/strength sort of set. But that was a turn-based RPG and not necessarily an ARPG. I think Sonic would suit an ARPG just fine.
Banal?
Actually, I have a question. Are there any anti-heroes in other video games people like?
I'd put up with it again, but when you have your own opinion about a character, they take away what you like about the character and add everything you could possibly dislike on it, it still is a bad feeling. I'd honestly like to see something interesting done with his shoes already. Rocket Shoryuken!

Close, we can go with Baffling.
Wario? I need some sort of list to work from here.

I'm particularly fond of Magus from Chrono Trigger. Wario too, I guess.

All the main characters in Assassin's Creed, for one.
Alternatively, you can just click here for a large list (WARNING: TVTROPES LINK).

Ah perfect, Stone Cold Steve Austin for me, top that Sonic Gaf.
He's in games, he's even getting a special edition.
As awesome as that would be I would not be able to play it without invoking the memory of Super Mario Bros. Z
I like Wario, its Waluigi I can't stand.
Potential Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door Spoilers
I'd be fine with more of this.

SonicGAF. I'm kind of happy that Sega doesn't treat Sonic like how Capcom treats Mega Man. At least Sega's trying to get Sonic out of a rut.
Instead of mad, I'm just... I don't know.
Haha, you know what's funny? Sega started off this gen not being great, but then they turned great. Capcom started this gen being pretty cool, and then... well, you know. Ha... hahaha... ha... ;__;

I don't get it. What is Capcpom's damage?
I probably would have said the same thing if I'd bought Sonic 2006 at launch, tbh. I could only imagine how people felt when they bought Sonic 2006 at launch and was dissatisfied with it (and the demo ended up being better than the full game, hilariously enough). Arguably, the only mascot platformer that still gets a lot of entries that probably didn't suffer as much was Mario (arguably).

All this WayForward talk and no mentions of Shantae? For shame.
it's hard to talk about a game no one played.

I imagine a fair deal of us have DSis and 3DSes, and Risky's Revenge is right there on the DSi Shop/eShop :I
Haven't beaten it, but it's quite solid.

WayForward talk always compels me to listen to Jake Kaufman soundtracks. Mighty Switch Force!, Shantae: Risky's Revenge, BloodRayne: Betrayal... they're all so great
Hah!
It'd be pretty cool if someone were to make a comic of Smash Bros instead! All of the Nintendo franchises in one comic!
