Donkey posted a great guide on the last page. It has GIFs and such to help you visualize how some of the systems work as well:

It ain't a VS launch without hopping on a team with a 3k who starts the round by walking lol. Went to a shuffle room after that to let god decide my fate and things went better. So good to have my boy efreet back.

Valkerion · Jul 31, 2020

I'm fully prepared to team up with nothing but Wing Zero's and Death Scythe's launch week haha.

Bebpo · Jul 31, 2020

Is there an instant land move when airborne? I forgot. I remember Versus had one but I'm not sure if that was a unique mechanic to that game.

Unique to that game, thankfully. Certain suits do have fast falls that are dedicated inputs like Tallgeese 3 2B or happen when cancelling certain moves, but nothing universal

MistaTwo · Jul 31, 2020

Always feels like I am the only one on the planet that didn't mind the boost dive mechanic. The entire point of GVS was to be a spin off
with slightly different mechanics and units with fast falls were always popular so it made sense to give everyone that tool.
Nothing wrong with fighting games that have strong universal mechanics! (see: KI combo breaker or 3rd strike parry)

It is kinda nice not having to worry about another input though. heh

Ah, yeah that's what I thought. I really liked that move since I could boost around a lot more without worrying about lingering airborne and getting hit. Now gotta get back used to just stepping instead of boost dashing everywhere.

Oh it's a great idea conceptually, it's just that it effectively breaks the neutral of the game in practice lol. Same with strikers being a nice idea for helping suits cover weaknesses they have ending up as every suit in the game being able to blast you with a 3k's gerobi.

The problem is that they didn't make a new game built around those ideas, they took the existing game not built around them and just kinda hoped it would work out. If they made that game the systems would probably be great.

It plays differently and the neutral is absolutely a completely different beast (but you can say the same thing about neutral in 3S compared to literally every other SF game in the series), but free fall was already a thing and if you were playing a low tier/low cost suit with no free fall against a 3K with free fall in vanilla MB or MBON you were in for a world of hurt if they knew how to use it properly.

I thought both mechanics just served to basically flatten the tiers somewhat and level the playing field to be honest. A lot of the S/A+ tier units
in MBON are a result of having S tier summons or free fall cancels, etc.

GVS reaction always felt like a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation where drastic changes gets people up in arms about messing up the formula but the same people complain that they don't change enough.

ANYWAY, I don't want to get anymore off topic.

And also check these out (will threadmark, too).

There isn't enough. Needs 00 XN Raiser, Exia R3, ELS QANT and Setsuna Flag at the very least.

RROCKMAN · Jul 31, 2020

I still want Setsuna in an Exia mask

"TOH!"

Distantmantra · Jul 31, 2020

Need a pirate Setsuna with Crossbone Exia.

They should add dupe units based on the Celestial Being movie, hah.

I'm surprised they haven't been added to a Super Robot Wars or G Gen game as secret characters, to be honest.

MZZ · Jul 31, 2020

Been playing these games for so long but I cannot seem to wrap my mind around how to actually play. It always felt like I am doing something wrong. But I love Gundam so much that I find a way to enjoy it single player ever since.

Been lurking in the thread since the Beta started. The roster is mindblowing for me as a gunpla collector. I just love seeing the mobile suit move, shoot lasers and to melee combos. I have just been playing branch battles since the beta though lol.

That guide is a really good read though. I think I got more understanding on how to actually move in these games now.

I have been practicing with the newfound knowledge I have from the guide. I'll take on some more single player sessions and maybe some coop tomorrow.

This is me - i've been playing these games since 2011 0r 2012, played them for hundereds of hours but never really grasped what makes a good player (despite playing against several good players) asides from the basics until ps4 Versus back in 2017 when i started paying more attention. I'm better now but i'm still not what I would consider "good"...

Aurica · Jul 31, 2020

I'll never be good at any competitive video game, because my joint issues don't allow me to play strenuous games for long periods of time :/

Tyrant Rave said:
If you are playing pad, definitely remap controls. You'll want to be able to hold A and B for charge shots, so you may want those on shoulder buttons or something comfortable to hold for extended periods.

Do you play with default controls on stick? My fingers always got tired at the arcade boosting... but I also have hand issues, so maybe that's just me.

Yeah I use default for stick, I just prefer to use arcade layout for everything so I don't really use macros or anything

I have thought about mapping a secondary melee button to make holding charge shot easier but it's not like a big deal for me so I don't think I will

Aurica · Jul 31, 2020

I'm the same just because I don't wanna be mixed up when I play at arcades.

Besides that not using the macros is better for grasping your moveset imo since you always know you're hitting special melee/special shot/sub shot/etc, rather than the ???? macro button.

That's because they decided to shit on Athrun from SEED
Dude has 4 suits in the shows plus piloted some other shit, and gets only one rep in the game, despite being the co protag (and arguably the protag in Destiny)

At least we got the Lacus-piloted Infinite Justice which is really fun to use lol

I wanna import Last Impression but I'll never hear more than like 5% of it in a match lol.

Defunkled · Jul 31, 2020

Casual match is straight up broken. I've tried over 10 times and half the time it sits in the training area and it won't even let me cancel the matchmaking; I have to quit and restart the game to get back to the menu. The other times it says "Syncronizing" then "The match is cancelled."

Yeah Athrun is shafted in this game. He is surprisingly one of the few good characters from Seed/Seed Destiny. I would love to pilot the Savior Gundam out of all of his suits.

Yeah, it's pretty borked atm. They're looking into though at the very least. Just try to jump into a player match for now.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised in normal SEED there's Freedom...and a bunch of other units...but no Justice.

Seems like an odd decision.

It sucks but if you wait long enough it'll eventually kick back to the main menu. I just use the extra time to lab stuff. Thankfully the game restarts fairly quickly lol.

Am I able to dump more songs into the game whenever I want? It said something about deleting that I didn't really pay attention to.

How in the hell can i raise the Intimacy with my Navi?
Ive been using Haman (Player) and Sthesia Awar Nono (Battle) and have done up to like the 3rd map of branch solo missions but their heart is still at one, meanwhile my fucking roommate has 4 hearts on his shit

Be nicer to them.

I dunno. I have Lunamaria set as both and got it to 2 before finishing B.

goes up really quick from online matches. I already maxed out mine and also got up to 52k GP fast.

Is there a discord for this game? I've play a lot of fighters but this game doesn't explain anything and there is no practice mode.

If you want to add a new track (s) without "deleting" the ones you've added, it's a little tricky. So for example, you had 12 tracks on your USB folder before... simply add another track to that folder so there's 13 and import. Doing a clean import with just one new file in the folder will undo your previous import. Doing it the previous way will also remember your custom BGM song settings. It's weird, but that's what I've discovered when having to reupload songs to boost their volumes.

tl;dr To import new tracks without deleting your previous work, add them with your previous batch of songs in the MBONMUSIC folder on your USB import the whole lot. Don't import just one track by itself.

Yeah, like mentioned above, online matches seem to boost it way faster. I've 5 starred Haman and Meer already... 👀🤣

Like VS, I went into media to check out Wing's clip and snag some PS4 background photos.... and no clip for Wing and maybe one or two more series. The little things really bug me with this game haha.

It's probably worth putting the two google docs into the OP. I found them super helpful in explaining mechanics I bumbled through in VS

Yeah you do. A bit unfortunate considering you could do that in Full Boost

Players Guide

Beginner Suit List

Yeah, I'll drop them in a bit but I've thread marked the first one at the very least for now. Haven't seen that second one, so thanks for sharing that!

EDIT: Hmmm, some of those seem like a misnomer in their difficulty. Like it says Zabanya is hard, but I'd argue it's harder to use Reborns in comparison who is listed as intermediate.

I suppose from a beginner standpoint (which it was made for his friends getting into the game) it would make sense considering Reborns has more obvious tools, but that's a unit that definitely scales tremendously with the skill of the player.

So if I reimport all of them again with the new track, I won't have to reassign the ones I've already assigned to each suit? That's pretty nice. That's what I was afraid I would have to do.
