Playing an assist reliant suit in EXVS (Drei, Turn A) then going to GVS was awful thanks to strikers. Not to mention GVS was missing a lot of suits I really love like Strike Noir. So even the cut moves feels like a non-issue.

Gundam EXVS Maxi Boost ON coming to PS4 worldwide on July 30
- Thread starter donkey
- Start date
Not as bad as me with GVS. I played Tallgeese I and Vigna Ghina. Guess who didn't make the Maxi BON jump.
I have G-Arcane. I'm loving the suits that just have special evasions built in. You see someone charging, you R2 to the side, and blast them, point blank. I need more suits like that. G-Arcane just doesn't have the oomph to its attacks, but boy, it's got the steps.

Only ever played a little bit of the previous PS4 release due to a friend who was a Gundam fan. Got the beta all downloaded and will have to give it a shot soon. Definitely nervous to jump in since I think I've forgotten just about everything haha.

Graphics wise, it's UE4 vs the engine they've been using since EXVS back in 2010/2011. But I'll gladly take the EXVS style over Versus' generic stuff any day.
I was strictly speaking about moves/gameplay. It struck me as disappointing not having as many options and trying to rework my muscle memory and spread out the lesser amount moves across the controller in a comfortable way that feels familiar to VS.
I did leave out how I like the amount of suits and levels, but that wasn't what my post was about. Just my initial reaction to the lack of moves and how VS may have spoiled me there from a gameplay pov. But splitscreen will still sell me a copy despite feeling like I have less at my disposal when in a battle. I'm sure I'll get over that.

Are you guys playing "Player Match" or "Casual Match"? Only did the latter so and I'm having a blast. Of course, I'm only using Exia so far, but I want to try out some other suits as well while the beta runs. Netcode seems fine. Had a few laggy matches, but they were all playable. Nothing unplayable so far and I want to say that the netcode is actually better than Gundam Vs. I put matchmaking on "worldwide". So far I'm not really feeling the OST. It's not bad, but I'm missing some of the themes. Or maybe they're not part of the beta? That would actually make sense. If they're even in the base game and not a premium sound edition that is.

Player match gets you the rooms most of us are playing in. But yeah, I've had a much better experience online in MB so far than GVS, especially as a UK player. As for the tracks, that definitely isn't all of them, but I don't think you'll find any of the usual vocal tracks regardless in the western version.
Been playing Casual Matches and having fun. Only won a match or two, but seem to be scoring well. I am slowly getting better and remembering things from the PSP Gundam games. Never played Gundam Versus on PS4, but thought about it a few times just to have in my collection.
Ah yeah, lobbies! Didn't think of that, haha. Matchmaking is actually pretty quick, which is a good feeling. But I'm pretty sure it will look a bit different once the full game is out, at least after a few weeks. I'm always a bit afraid of lobbies, because I'm more of a casual Gundam player and the lobbies are mostly full of people going beast mode all the time, haha. Still, game feels great. Good thing there's custom soundtrack, so I can just rip the vocal tracks and put them on my PS4 anyway.
Will this game get a physical release? Couldn't find anywhere to pre-order a physical copy in the US.
My 8 year old daughter and I have been playing split screen co-op and versus against each other. The kid gleefully plays Noble Gundam and Unicorn while yelling "SPAM TRIANGLE!" over and over. This has been an awesome Saturday morning.
Sounds like it will, they just don't have it listed for retail yet.
Been playing against the CPU on easy. Havent had this hard a time learning movement since Tekken LOL. Seems fun enough though. So many of my faves in this and pretty faithfully put in. I hope the SP is good for the full release
I shared a ton on Twitter and FB of my daughter and I playing this morning. There were no restrictions.
I'm planning to stream it tonight. I don't remember seeing anything that said we couldn't share video or pictures of the game.
Yeah as said the test allows screenshots, however it blocks video recording.
You can play against the CPU? Somehow I must've missed that option. Would be a good way to try out some suits.
Edit: Oh yeah, Free Battle. Dope!
For those playing with a controller, are you using the dpad, or the thumbstick for movement? I've been using the dpad since Versus 2017, but I think I'm going to make the switch. For the first time, I just played some matches using the thumbstick and it felt like to was easier to perform some of the boost techniques.
I do not know if this has been answered but what does extend burst actually do? S Burst boosts your range attacks and F burst boosts your melee, I can't tell what E burst does.
Edit:Nevermind the tutorial in the pause menu tells you.

I use the stick on the controller and have been doing so since the original game on the Dreamcast. Works really well with Crossbone X-1 but I'm also nowhere near being good. I just play for fun.
dpad is prolly better for steps and rainbow steps unless you feel comfortable with doing double tap inputs on an analog stick
I'm comfortable on Dpad after trying the stick for a bit. I'm struggling to do the boost dash on the stick
Got disconnected again and I got penalized for it again too! wait time is now
Wait for it
95 minute and 23 seconds
I could sit down and watch a movie in that time. It would be ok I deserved it but I didn't purposely disconnect or rage quit at all! I'm wired in and everything! I'm kinda terrified that if I keep getting tossed off the network my wait time could extend well past reasonable wait time.
Thank god for free battle indeed.

One thing I don't get with this and GVS is why Canada is a separate region than the US, rather than just make it like US East, US West for much of North America, like other fighting games.
I hate that I have to use a US PSN account over my main one, lol

Is there match spectating? I definitely wont have a good connection to play with ya'll because of distance but I'd love to watch

I'm in Enron's room now. I'm recording though so I'll post later
Do we know if the G Sound version is coming out overseas? I assume not, but I'd love to be wrong.
OK, I'm really struggling without the downwards boost lol.
The netcode seems a lot better than GV if I find a good match, otherwise it's awful. There's no middle ground- it's either great or unplayable.

OK, Heavy Arms EW is fun.
Doing flips and ppeppering the opponent with bullets and missiles before throwing the GOAT Gundam at them is legit lol.
What's the input for his 360 spin attack?

This is the first time I'm using the Crossbone Gundam X1 Custom and I think I'm in love. That suit is tons of fun and can do some nasty tricks. I'm curious about the cloth mechanic though. I know it acts like a shield so that I take a bit less damage, but is there a situation where I should manually take off and then take on again? For example take it off when in ranged battle and put it back on when in close combat?
The cloak specifically nullifies damage from beam based weaponry. Ideally you'd put it up until you knew someone is about to drop any heavy beam moves (like the vast majority of units from Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny) that's when you whip it out and you should have enough time to squeeze out a move before the cloak breaks.
But at the same time if you are fighting someone that likes to space people out with beams then leaving it on would give you a major advantage.
You could argue leaving it on off is based more on each case scenario.
I should also mention that your cloak doesn't work at all with anybody that uses ballistics (like Blue Destiny unit 1, Atlas Gundam, or units that carry rocket launchers) so approach those with caution.
