Oh... I knew about the King Gainer units doing the dance when you left them idle for a while but I didn't know the Turn A does this when idling for like a whole minute in ACE 3..... it has laundry to dry and clearly there must be a lull to allow it....

On the flip side though, Shin Getter is Fucking Huge, having the Dunbine as an ally is so funny because it's like deploying with an ant next to me

Before bed was messing a bit with Another Century's Episode 3. One of my favorite things is that they keep the scale of the mecha in it so for instance, me playing the Billbine (6.9m) here, I am absolutely dwarfed by the Daughtress (16.3m) from Gundam X.

It's okay I got one of my favorite weirdos and am currently playing with that in space missions (High Mobility Psycommu Test Type Zaku)

now funnily, if you do lock on, and then change your lock, the firing angle does change
fuck you jaburo!

Had to record the rolling zock shot, though unfortunately it can't adjust its lock angle if you fire it without being locked on so I just kinda spin and fire lmao. Threw on appropriate music (Gundam Attack M28+M33 from Gundam Wing)

2 other fun zock notes:
1. It's SP attack (every suit has an SP attack) is just doing the 'rolling buster rifle' from Wing which is kinda hilarious
2. I like that they actually made it not have to turn around for firing when facing away from your target, since it has 4 beam cannons on both sides

Oh also there are missions with ancillary objectives and it's always fun to see the different animations for like, carrying and stuff
Zock move a box....

I do think funnily a lot of the longer stages are generally nicer about the ratings than the faster stages? The 08th MS team which has you fighting some GMs and Guntanks, followed by defending a Zanzibar shuttle against Ground GMs and Ground Gundams, and ending with an Ez8 boss, still got an S rank

Also this game gave rise to my brain being screwed up on certain vehicle and MS names because I played it before I was really into Gundam so I just kinda assumed the Saberfish was the 'Shaverfish' for a bit lmao. There's definitely some other ones, I think ZZ had some wild english spellings in it

And hey, maybe you just wanna go through a stage with a weaker suit just for the heck of it

Like, they did bother to put extra work into it which is fun. The Ramba Ral Zaku I doesn't use the same melee combo animation as the stock Zaku I! I think that's cute. Will it be my main? Nah, but it's fun to mess around with in a stage or two and so I just like when there's lots of MS to play with

Anyway, playing the Gouf 5 times does net you the Ramba Ral Zaku I, which is fun, and unlike the gouf, has a bazooka. Now, it's a Zaku I so it's actually worse stat and tune limit wise than other machines you'd already have but!!! That's part of the fun imo I like that you just get lots of machines.

I think I also just have a bias towards finger vulcans in Gundam games since I also tend to not like them in GBO2 and such, which is funny because considering I've played First Gen Armored Core you'd think I have a health appreciation for finger machine guns but so it goes...

Not like it's a particularly WORSE machine gun than other ones, its base tuning it has the same stats as a Zaku II machine gun AND can be upgraded more, but admittedly I tend to use the Zaku machine gun only on like, tanks and planes, but not typically MS....

Kind of a random thing but if you're wondering about me jumping from a Zaku to a Dom: You do get a gouf before that I just don't really like the gouf, it's just a bit too close range of an MS and I don't like how the finger vulcans feel lol

Also the animations are pretty good imo! I always love when games make sure the monoeye moves with whatever is nearby.
This was mostly just me having fun moving in a tutorial stage (this is not the game OST just using the actual Gundam OST while playing lol)

Just case in point, while I didn't do a TON better, I did have an easier time of the stage with just the stock dom it unlocked for me, and now playing the stage means I've gotten tuning points for the Dom, so I can improve its performance more

Some stages also encourage the replays by having secret objectives, or having route splits mid stage, with each split having its own rankings and rewards. And some early stages are hard to imo encourage a revisit. The White Dingo stage can be tough for when it unlocks relative to what you have

The game is fun to me because it has a fair amount of units, and the stages are generally pretty short? Beating a stage gets you upgrade points for that specific MS, and also playing an MS a certain number of times unlocks new ones, so it encourages replays of missions. Specifics in alt text:

Okay! Actual playing of Gundam Battle Universe instead of messing with settings.
I love the winning screen message, it's hard not to read some level of sarcasm in 'You returned alive' for some reason even though it's definitely just meant as a good thing

Same mission in hardware mode... so yeah probably just gonna be stuck running the game in hardware mode even if I prefer the software mode's looks....
