Thank you much for the games, folks!

Had a blast and I think I'm starting to figure out how Buster operates. Was good to confirm I'm actually not terrible with Exia and Hyaku Shiki too.

EDIT: also if anyone wants to add me my PSN is the same as my username here.

Any interest in getting a goon room going again for an hour or two tomorrow afternoon? Probably around 3ish Pacific.

Some days I have an alvaaron literally on tap to put me back in the dirt anytime I try pushing a button.

Good games, all!

Yeah I'm not sure who that Alvaaron was but he stomped me a few times before I remembered to use Buster's mine launcher. It only took three losses to remember that option because am smrt.

Is there some kinda trick for getting into ranked? Every time I try I get an info box that says "checking the line" and then another one that goes away far too quickly to read.

Hell yeah! I think this is the only game in history that I’m willing to dump so much money on.

Also, this Friday I’ll be setting up a room at ~7pm PST again if anyone wants to join. It’ll be the same info as before.

I kinda wish it was the Gundam Legilis instead, but I'm not going to complain about them putting Vagan MS in the game. It's a shame AGE sucks, but I love the Vagan MS designs.

Edit: Also not complaining about them putting Zeonic Front suits in the game. Apparently, Schmitzer's Zaku I is making it into the game after Mudrock. It also looks like they're putting the Raider Gundam from SEED in the game.

They seem to be going through the generations one by one. The Zedas does seem to be an obvious G1 Vagan suit, though. And yeah, the Midnight Fenrir Zaku and Raider are confirmed - with screenshots, no less.

Oh nice, the zaku will be 300 cost, I really like grunt suits at higher than 200.

How do you get the most out of the The O? It seems remarkably short on merits for a 500 cost suit.

Darth Walrus posted:

How do you get the most out of the The O? It seems remarkably short on merits for a 500 cost suit.

The O's strengths:
  • Top class mobility, the thing is loving fast even compared to other 500s and is nearly impossible to disengage from without knocking it down first
  • The combination of strong boomerangs, pressure bubble, and high speed make it excel at vortexing opponents once it achieves a knockdown
  • Simple, powerful melee connects if you utilize the BC grab a lot, which you should

The O's weaknesses:
  • Neutral game would be worst in class among 500s if Epyon didn't exist; reliant on a barely-average beam rifle for any ranged pressure, with no other real options
  • Powerful melee connects are stationary and cut-vulnerable, while safe melee options are low damage
  • Struggles to accomplish anything under heavy double lock pressure due to poor ranged tools and vulnerable melee

The O is effectively a linebacker bully whose optimal gameplan consists of knocking someone down and then vortexing them as they try to get up over and over. It excels in 1v1 situations because its toolkit is focused on choking off the opponents' movement options; horizontal movement is punished by boomerangs and vertical or aggressive movement is punished by pressure. It needs a strong partner who can create those 1v1 scenarios for you; The O fares poorly in extended gunfights due to a lack of ranged options and ammo, and its melee can't really achieve a huge amount of value when you're double locked due to almost all of its strong combo options involving the stationary BC grab. It's not a suit that really functions well without a teammate you can trust to some degree, in my opinion.

When playing the suit, my standard approach in the early parts of the match is to push in aggressively at the opponents and put myself in their faces. I'm generally not accomplishing a lot at this stage, but the threat of The O moving in aggressively and lurking in attack range is very distracting and can often buy your teammate an opportunity. The moment one of the opponents eats a knockdown from you or your partner, the time has come to try to push in on the other opponent and split their formation; the ideal result is that you connect on the still-standing opponent while their teammate is getting up, causing their teammate to panic and try to save them, leading to your own teammate having free reign to shoot them in the back and continue the cycle. You want to try to keep them panicked, disoriented, and unable to maintain a cohesive front against you as much as possible to take advantage of your overwhelming 1v1 close quarters superiority. If the enemy team stays calm and maintains formation your life is going to be hard.
