Double X has been my surprise indie darling of the summer. It's assist move (as all of them are) is really good and the surprise huge ass beam takes people by surprise a lot.
That said mission mode is getting to me. It's needlessly unbalanced to where some missions just are frustrating and unfun. The game just really isn't meant for some of the combinations they throw at you.

Managed to S rank every mission up to the first mission in G map.
Just use a defensive ranged unit and spam ranged attacks. Equip all your attack, beam attack and lock on range skills. Equip your partner with every ally team skills.
The hard ones to S rank are those that need you to survive a set amount of time. Those missions are hard and even if you kill like half a dozen to a dozen units, chances are you won't get S rank. I managed to S rank it by taking off every skill I have and equipping every defense and durability skill I had.
Turns out some mission rank you by the amount of health you have left and not how many units you kill.

What's S ranking everything get you anyway? Are prizes different from A? Is it just for completionists?
Extra currency, skills and map percent completion. Not all missions give rewards for getting S rank.
Completing all missions at S rank in an area gives rewards as well. Mostly just a large amount of currency. Helps me a lot cause I don't have ps+ for online.

This doc is alright for suits
I recommend:
3k:
Nu
Hi-Nu
Sinanju
2.5k:
Crossbone X1
Excelia
Infinite Justice
2k:
X2
Gunner Zaku
Zaku Amazing
Build Strike
Delta Plus
I'd say avoid 1.5k suits starting out. They tend to be harder or more niche. I think Crossbone X1/2 are great beginner suits and scale very well. X1 teaches you how to play front more and helps show you how to be aggressive and can be very strong against melee (good since suits like Bael are very popular). X2 is a really good support suit if you take advantage of its charge shot. They both have the beam mantle too, so that lets you make a few mistakes without really getting burned.
Team comps are harder unless you have a dedicated partner in my opinion. 3k+2.5k is generally the strongest comp, but really you can get away with a lot in most games. As long as you aren't doing something like picking a pure melee suit with a partner doing the same, you're generally going to be fine online.
Install is a power-up state. So using Full Cloth as an example, when you use his charge shots, they power up his gun or sword for a period of time. That's considered an install.
Cheers for that. Yeah, I used the Crossbone as my main in Vs (I think), and I have a bud who picked it up who will be my online partner.
Thanks again!
My copy came in the mail today and I'll play online at some point, but honestly, I'm having a blast playing split screen co-op/versus with my daughter. The kid has taken a liking to Noble and Strike Rouge. We're going through the branches together and do a lot of 1v1 battling.
Crossbone X-1 is my boy.

I'm starting to understand. It's just a different game with him man.

Hope its better - it's been a rough launch outside of Ranked.
My buddy and I can never see the same Player Match lobbies and we live like 20 minutes from each other. We will even restart the game and then its like our lobby lists swap just to mess with us. Looking forward to practicing suits online without having to punish other players in ranked matches.
What is the point of the impulse's separation attack? You can still get hit while you do it so just splitting apart to shoot doesn't seem to do anything?

It's more of a last second dodge than anything else. See how it's used around 2:30 here with some notes.

What suits are everyone feeling?
Right now, I'd say my rotation of suits I enjoy is:
3k
Turn A
Hot Scramble
Full Cloth
2.5k
X1
Qubeley
Strike Noir
Arche
X
Infinite Justice
Deathscythe EW
2k
X2
F91
Throne Drei
Delta Plus
Montero
Build Strike
Zaku Amazing
1.5k
Zudah
Kampfer (don't really play much)
Been trying a lot of new suits instead of just playing the same old ones I always do. The large amount of players has been a good incentive to experiment too. I never tried suits like Qubeley in previous entries and I love playing it now lol

Double X is my favorite suit in the game. I love how much options it has. There are two types of assists, lingering satellite options with the GX-bits, moves that include throwing melee that paralyzes and lastly the awesome Twin Satellite Cannons which when you hit your target it is so satisfying.
The big brands are generally all safe purchases. I like Hori and Qanba myself, but the Razer one should be good if you can find a good price. They all generally use the same/comparable buttons and joysticks
there's not a lot of choice these days. I have an OG Panthera that ive been using, but its super heavy. I ordered an EVO the other day to see if the lighter weight will help not put so much pressure on the back of my knees but its not here yet.
I had a hori HRAP 4 for a while in '15-'17 and I freaking hated it.

I don't play those, but it's a melee counter going off of the wiki
So useful tools if you have someone mashing melee attacks and you can predict it. They tend to start up faster than melee attacks.
Thanks. It seems very useful in a pinch.
That website is great. I've been reading up on units for a while too.

Finally got S rank on every mission. The reward is a skill that removes the hud.

How exactly do you view every branch battle last scenes? I've finished all the mission including the ex ones in branch battle solo. I dunno how to get this trophy.

Is there a guide to melee specifically and how it works cause it feels almost like its just who hits who first? And then is there no combo breaking or such cause some suits once they hit you in melee seem to just go to town on you with a constant combo of punishment and seems you can't do anything?

Butt clenching dodges ftw!
Once you're caught in a melee combo, it's up to your partner to stop them, which is specifically called cutting. This is where comms come into play to let you partner know you need support. Doesn't always work but a good partner generally has an eye on both enemies.
Another way to get out of combo strings or attacks in general is to have the Extend Burst. When the burst gauge is at least 50%, you can activate your burst and escape while getting attacked. Other bursts allow you to do this, but the gauge has to be at 100%.
As for a melee guide? Well, it's from Gundam Versus but the principles are pretty much the same.

That's his BC shield dash. It's basically the shield's life as it's a shooting guard. Once it's taken 100(?) dmg, you can't use it anymore until the next life I believe.
How long is the Mission Mode? I got to C rank and got kinda tired of it. The B map was so long.
