Yeah I agree, it doesn't just look like it, it is because of the high ceiling cap that this game has for new comers to reach. However don't let that scare you as this game is still pretty fun even if you are not that skilled since the battle system is pretty refined.
Lol i was thinking the same thing. Ive been playing these games since the first one on ps2. Ive been telling people about this one and they look at me crazy when i show them the gameplay.
I picked it up about a week ago and the game's single player modes provides plenty of good opportunities to learn how to handle your mobile suit, even for fresh beginners. It's really a lot like armored core in that it's suitable for all player skill levels.
I agree with what everyone has said thus far, as I think difficulty also comes by how far the player wants to advance in there skill. If a player isn't interested in competition the learning curve isn't as bad as it's pretty easy to pick up the game and just play with a bunch of players at the same skill level or lower. When I mentioned the high ceiling cap implying towards players that were interested to learn everything there is to learn about the game. That part is pretty technical and is not easy to master. If you believe you as a player already has mastered everything the game has to offer than by all means I give you mad respect as I'm still trying to reach that level myself.
Nice guide. This help me see the overall movement we can use. But I'm quite confused at the combination of many boost action (Starting from Fuwa boost). Would be great if there are button inputs shown in the video :)
I will keep that in mind for future videos. I just believed that it wasn't necessary since I showed how the boost button was utilized before going into the different techniques and doing those other boost actions just consisted of tapping the same button again to perform a new action or combining 2 different boost actions to achieve a completely new action. But I can see how that is confusing for someone completely new to the game. Really appreciate the feed back!
I had no idea that rainbow break existed and just thought is was a Heavyarms exclusive thing. I'm going to have to test what actions leave this orange trail when stepping on all my units now. Glad I decided to watch this. You're a good teacher. It's always fun to face you too.
Dude your always fun to play against too! Also glad it helped you out for someone who's been with this series for awhile. Have you seen Skyslam's version of movement guide yet? He goes further into explaining how each action functions with other techniques. Similar to how you rapid fire Beam Magnum from unicorn with Boost Dive instead of Zunda. If you haven't, you should take a look at it as it covers more stuff that I just basically skimmed through.
When I was much younger, I got a copy of Gundam Federation Vs. Zeon around the time of its release. I was in elementary school at the time and had never played another game like it and still love it to this day. Fast forward to earlier this year, I find out that the series has continued on and I'm incredibly excited to pick up a copy when it drops in the US. This tutorial was extremely helpful for me as the original Federation Vs. Zeon didn't have nearly as many movement combos. I will certainly have to brush up on all of this once the game is finally out in the states!
Thanks for this very helpful video. I only watch gundam anime before playing this game, and seems like there are not many people play this game outside Asia now. I hope your tutorial can attract more people to join this game.
I believe there are even more players then before playing this now. I could be wrong but the community I was part of was pretty small for both "Gundam Vs Gundam Next" and "Extreme Vs. Full Boost" to prove this even further, Evolution Championship Series 2017 for this game was 4 times the size of the biggest one on record for the "Gundam Vs" Series which was the one held in 2014. If anything I would assume from these statistics that the community is growing at an alarming rate if anything. However we shall see how this game will sell, when the western release comes out for us all.
Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for. This is my first Gundam VS game, so I never knew just how important movement is. You're exactly right, trying to learn anything before movement in this game is a mistake. I wish the game provided a more in-depth tutorial on movement as there so many ways to move. Again, thank you and great job on this video. I'm subscribing!
The only game in the series I'd played was Higurashi Daybreak, and I played that super casually. Having just bought Gundam Versus today, I really appreciate this tutorial. It kinda makes me want to apply some of the stuff to Daybreak.
Outstanding and well done video, TryFlozn! You taught me a few things I wasn't too sure of and introduced new techniques I had no idea we're even in the game! Also, great use of the Gundam Versus Gundam Next+ soundtrack on this vid!
Thanks for the video man! Me and my cousin just spent hours playing the beta and LOVED IT. Your video helped make more sense of the different movements we can use, so hopefully when the game comes out he and I will rock it! Cheers!
Yo always relieved to hear that my guides are helping out new players out and super stoked to always find out people are having a blast with this game!
Thanks a lot for this video. Tryflozn Versus. This should help a lot of new comers. What I can see is, although it was a game that targets most Japanese players, in terms of a depth, variety, strategy, durability this game beats the hell of out many fighting and shooting games in the West. Thankfully, they are releasing a English version to U.S. and hopefully more PS4 players will join and start enjoy the game.
Thanks a ton for the info, but if you could include Notation to allow me to understand what buttons are being pushed that would do even more wonders for me to keep up.
Most excellent video. I look forward to learning more from future features. I especially look forward to some strategy videos. Ohh, oh and some combo demos/explanations. AND.. I don't get to play as much as I should so it's nice to have several videos covering the same topics. You guys have slight differences in how you explain it that display variation in play style. That alone reinforces these techniques in the ol' neural noodle.
Great to hear, however I won't be diving into strategy as much as Skyslam might be, but I'll cover a bit of it. Mostly I try to give a general basis for players to work off of and let them explore the said feature instead of instructing people that they need to do it a certain way. Sky is the same for that matter but goes further into explaining how said feature behave, where as I just let you know it exists more so.
This is a pretty good tutorial for the newcomers for movement. Can we also get a combat basics? Like how to use special attacks or swapping weapons for certain characters.
That is already on my list to do, but before I cover that, I'm planning to cover controls so that both Pad and Stick players will stop getting confused on inputs.
Yes there are single player battles for offline as well as an online 1on1 mode. There is no Split Screen and there is a Local Multiplayer option, however I believe you are probably asking about a LAN feature for multiplayer? If so then the answer would be no.
I love this game, but the way it handles the movement mechanics drive me crazy. A lot of what's mentioned in this very useful video just isn't discussed in the game much, if at all, and you basically don't stand a chance without know howing to do most of this in the multiplayer mode. It's almost like going into a fighting game and you're suddenly having to fight tournament-level frame counters while you only have a basic grasp of the mechanics. Thank god there's tutorials like this one out there or we'd just be screwed.
I think this can be said for any competitive game except for maybe Guilty Gear since I think the in-game tutorial for that game is pretty solid. Most of these movements types in Gundam Versus are now common knowledge but the funny thing is that some of these movement options were not designed intended to be in the game from start. Some of these were originally exploits used by tournament level players that brought attention to the developers that these movement options existed in the game. Fast-forward to this current day, the developers now acknowledge that these movement options are now stapled mechanics for this game's franchise, but they probably found it too complicated to cover hence why it's not explained in the in-game tutorial as they are technically labeled as a more advanced way to move even though I see them as still fundamental basics that players should probably learn about. You are welcome for the tutorial I am happy to hear that it has helped you along your way!
this was super informative! been a huge fan of gundam but the beta was my first taste! still slow on the terms and inputs but this explains a lot about why i got wrekt and couldn't hit anything :/
Is there a way you could make a tier list for all suits in the game. Yes I understand that every Unit can be made viable but I'd like to see your personal view and I'm sure those interested in the game would like to see it as well. Also Maybe you could make an advanced x2 guide. When to attack, how to properly use melee and strike classes, how to use shooting classes better, how to effectively play on a team. Just trying to give you things to do that would support the game more. I share these videos with my comrades.
Tiers are really muddy outside of: -X1FC, Hot Scramble, Zeong, Gyan, Marsai and GM Custom being among the best in their cost brackets. -300 and 200 costs being really bad in general. Also tiers in general are the last thing newer players need to look at. What you should be looking at when starting out is suits that are "easy to understand", like RX-78, Freedom, Exia, Zeta, and so on, while avoiding more difficult suits such as EZ8, Hyaku Shiki, GP02, etc.
There are already a lot of topics I need to cover and it's pretty tough for me to make tutorial videos as I am currently a one-man army producing all these contents without any external help. I will do my best to cover as many "General" topics as I can, as I find "Specific" topics like a "How To Play This Character" is something I can't see myself doing as I barely even play the entire roster let alone only a hand full that I actually feel like I fully understand them personally. Also if you want a Tier list just check this site: exvsrank.ninja-x.jp/gvs_500.html It gets updated like once a month so it's pretty accurate. I to follow that same tier list as I do not play this game competitively and have no actual interest to do so to actually confirm if I agree with most of that list. However, for the characters that I do play, that list is pretty spot on about everything so far from what I've seen.
That would help, that way I can get a computer upgrade for video editing. Pretty much that's what's making it difficult for me to poop out videos really fast at the moment lol
I lost you at fuwa step😅.I used to play Gundam VS Gundam Next Plust before my psp broke.I mostly relied on my instict or my rage so i never knew what these stuff were called.
Yeah, most of this stuff kinda of worked in Gundam Vs Gundam Next Plus. I just recently re-played that game to see, however, I'd say the mechanics were not as refined as how the current generation of Gundam Versus game currently is.
I was trying to say "enabled" which means "give (someone or something) the authority or means to do something." Which I can see that this was a bad choice of word as it sounds like "Unable." Thanks for pointing that out I'll make sure to pick a better word next time for future videos to lessen the confusion.
The worst part of this game is the Character select screen ! It should have a thumbnail showing the moveset, and it should show the stats (Life, Boost, Overall damage) of each Suit. Making the choice much easier ! Especially when a 20 or 30% boost value will make the difference, just as much as 30% life for a Suit that cost the same.
Sorry if this was already asked, but I tried to pull off the movement shown with Gundam Ez8 with Break Cancelling, and I can pull off the second clip shown with the comparison, but I can't fire the cannon as fast as the first clip shows. Is that from the faster arcade version of this game? Or I may just need more practice, it just feels like I can only go half as fast as that clip shows. Thanks a ton for all the advice in this vid, btw! :)
Gundam Versus is console exclusive so there are no other ports. The game only exists for PS4 as well and is non-existent for arcades hence why there isn't a lot of already existing tutorial videos of this game. If you are not firing as fast as I am in the video than yeah probably you need to keep at it until you get it down. I demonstrated this sequence on the live stream over on Twitch as well on the PS4, so this footage was not sped up either encase you are doubting me that I may have sped it up when I was editing it.
I should've asked if it was from one of the previous arcade versions, and I'll be trying, but it seems impossibly fast, the only way I can pull it off is while using burst mode, which seems to speed up everything. Guess the timing is just ridiculously picky.
Tryflozn I'm starting to get accustomed to using thr fightstick, but I have trouble with boost stepping because it's hard to find a comfortable hand/arm movement and placement for double tapping a direction when using the large joystick, which is thr biggest change coming from a pad's tiny analog sticks. Do you have any tips for that?
I'm gonna be frank. if bandai gave Nintendo a Gundam license they would capitalize a way to allows us to put our customized Gunpla into the game. I don't know how, maybe paid barcodes or something but I know Ninty would figure it out
yeah almost the same, just Boost Dive and Boost Step activation for melee attacks are the only thing different from NEXT. The movement is more refined in this game to allow you to do stuff like Fuwa and stuff since you can do it in NEXT but it's not a fluid as how you can accomplish it in Versus.
Tryflozn I have to say exia and unicorn gundam but mainly exia cause it’s fast and quick but unicorn as well because I’m pretty good with various type gundams
Exia is pretty fun! So is Unicorn, they are both really fun characters, but probably pretty difficult to play them at a competitive level though. Good luck on master the two!
If I'm not mistaken they are both developed by the exact same team. If anything, it would be that Gotcha Force was influenced by Gundam Vs series as Gotcha Force was released in 2003 and Gundam Federation Vs Zeon was released in 2001 as both were developed by Capcom. I further believe that Gotcha Force may have been a re-skin of this game for western acceptance much like how Rise Of Incarnates was also a re-skin of this game for the same purpose.
I actually mainly use Striker + Boost and I do have Boost Dive Button, which I play on a fight stick and I have the Boost Dive button located right underneath my Boost Button.
As said in the video you just input the direction in reverse making your character fly towards the screen then quickly input a half circle motion either towards the left or right to make your character turn that direction ending with forward. Basically the input would look something like this Down > Right > Up or Down > Left > Up and this will result in a swivel.
I meant to say enabled but accidentally made it sound like unabled. Thanks for pointing it out though, next time I'm going to try to avoid useing words that sound similar to each other for future tutorial videos.
Which button for what exactly? Please be more clear as I have shown you all the button and directional inputs in the video to accomplish everything at the beginning of the video unless you skipped it. Everything after the 4-minute mark was said to be a combination of all the things listed at the beginning of the video unless you are watching the video muted. Please be more clear on what you mean by' "showing that u can do this stuff but your not explaining HOW to do them" as you have not clearly indicated anything wrong with the video on what is absent and that statement could mean the entire video did not explain or even show a player on how to do any of the methods listed, Which I have revealed all the control inputs needed to accomplish all these tasks.
I love the hell out of this game, but it is unbelievably frustrating. When playing opponents online somehow they can close the gap so fast while evading, while I always find myself stumbling into an attack. Any tips guys. I seem to follow the movement guide here, but find it impossible to win against real payers most of the time.
Well for a serious answer, first I would need to know what character you plan to main. As each character has different methods to deal with players that rush at you (So please don't give me an answer of "I play everything" or "I main Random," otherwise I will probably stop answering.) Keep in mind This movement guide is general basics which can apply to all or most characters depending on what technique you are using from this guide. Meaning this guide does not cover and inform a players character specific traits and equipment to deal with certain situations more easily. Just using the movement guide on its own will not be enough to fight toe to toe with more experienced players as they too are using much more than just the general basic foundation of what was mentioned in this guide. This is why I was asking which character do you main? Because you will need to know your specific character in and out in order to fully take advantage of the battlefield, which you need to know your character's special properties and much more. Hence why I stress to many new players the importance of maining a single character 1st to get to know it really well before branching off to other characters of interest. As again each character in this game has different functionality even though they appear visually similar.
I'd be lying if I didn't admit to experimenting a lot, especially with series favorites. I think I'm starting to settle into either F91 of Crossbone X1, when not using suits to unlock strikers that is.
Crossbone X1 is a very good character in the game, I'd highly recommend you to start with it if you don't enjoy a rough start. I myself am not too familiar with its arsenal as I barely use it. But from fighting it head on I definitely, understand why the character is so highly regarded in competitive play. However, if you actually enjoy a challenge, and have a lot of patients, as well as not minding your losses for your matches at a frequent rate, you can probably start off with a more difficult character to learn like F91 for example. The characters within this game's roster are not bad, they are all playable, just that some are easier to use than others. This is where the Tier list for this game comes in if you have not seen it yet which you can access it here via this link provide: exvsrank.ninja-x.jp/gvs_400.html Quick run down to allow you to understand the Tier List, the higher the tier does not mean how good the character is, it means how easy the character is to use in the game.The ranking of the tier is determined by the popularity of player choice upon how often X number of players use that specific character and X number of wins from those characters being used. Which this results in people favoring those characters because they are much easier to play as since those characters have equipment and arsenal that is a lot easier to understand quickly as well as allowing the player to take advantage of those abilities at a faster rate. Technically speaking you can view the tier list as them being better than the rest of the cast because their arsenal is far better equipped for combat (Even though I said it does not mean how good they are this part might sound contradicting) but in reality, players can win there matches even with the lower tier characters in the game. Winning with a lower tier character does not necessarily mean the player is better than the other player to pull this off. What it actually means, in reality, is that the player that won with a lower tier character means they spent the effort to learn their character in and out to optimally play the character at maximum performance. So in a nutshell the lower the tier of the character the more difficult, it is for the players to grasp. This in return makes only a few players that actually had the patience to learn them are the few who can use them and make them appear easy to play as, but in reality, they're not. The higher the tier the easier it is to use since those characters are less complicated and take less effort to learn and to control. As you can see Crossbone X1 is Mid A Tier vs F91 who is Mid B Tier, resulting in a lot of players in the community had difficulty using F91 effectively and only the minority was successfully able to use F91 efficiently. In a way, it's not a bad idea to start from the top of the tier for selecting which characters you want to start with and then branch your way downwards depending on the type of player you are. (You can do it in whatever order you please, really, it's up to how patient you are at learning.) Also, keep in mind some top-tier characters are tricky to use as well so there might be times when you might wonder why a specific character is ranked so highly among the tier. This might take some time to figure out its abilities but once you do, the character pretty much becomes super easy to use when you understand the functionality of what made this character so easy to use. Anyways if you are interested to learn one of the two characters you've listed I will try to provide you with further information of said character of interest. As I honestly think it will take twice as much time to explain 2 different characters to you vs just explaining 1 character since I too would need to do research on both those characters as I don't play either of your characters myself. So in order to figure out how to use them effectively, I will need to put in some time to research before I can give you a rundown of the character you decide to go with. So which character do you want to me to explain to you?
So from what I've gathered from playing F91, I think, if you can, Spam his charge shot Triangle is better than spamming his charge shot Square as you can create up to 3 floating explosive shields floating within the level if you launch each one fast enough. From my personal experience, players seem to run into them by accident pretty frequently. Also, the Explosive Shield stops beam type projectiles upon making contact with the shield. If you haven't noticed when Beam type projectiles pass an object they usually continue traveling after they pierce through an object. But if they hit your explosive shield this negates them from traveling any further. F91's Charge Shot Square seems really useless and I recommend to not use this attack unless you are completely out of ammo. One shot from this attack does less damage than you normally firing your square and it does less damage than your charge shot Triangle. If you want it to do more damage than your Square and Charge Shot Triangle you need to let at least 2 shots from this attack make contact with the target. This alone makes you stationary allowing you to get hit pretty easily. This is why I highly recommend reserving this attack only for when you are out of ammo. Also to make your self-evasive while shooting this attack, I recommend to only let go of Charge Shot Square at the end of a Boost Step Dive. If done correctly you will see F91 Glide while firing your Charge Shot Square attack towards the direction of your Boost Step Dive input command. This in return will make him more mobile while shooting this attack instead of staying stationary while firing. Than F91 in MEPE Mode allows a player to spam his sub-weapon at a pretty fast rate allowing a player to rapid fire pretty easily in this mode as it appears F91 sub reloads faster in MEPE Mode as well as giving you 2 sub shots when residing in this mode. Basically when you are in this mode just spam as much firepower as possible Now his Sub apparently has 3 variations, the 1st one is no directional Sub which fires pretty quickly but the projectile travels pretty slow across the field. The 2nd one is holding the direction down + Sub at the same time which results in him taking longer to fire his attack but increases the projectile's travel speed making this attack really difficult to dodge since it covers so much distance in such little time. His left/right + Sub seems to be ok but this sub-variation seems to shine the most in MEPE Mode as you can rapid fire it up to 4 shots/ 2 usage while residing in this mode. F91's Special Melee is also pretty good to get into melee range pretty quickly and safely as while he glides with his shield blade out he also automatically blocks most projectiles except for Explosive types in mid-animation while moving forward. Do not rely on this move if you are fighting against melee specialize characters because this attack has mediocre priority against other melee attacks. If you smash this melee against Epyon or Exia, there is a high possibility F91 will lose the engagement with this specific attack. F91's priority attacks seem to be his Left/Right + Triangle as it seems pretty good at smashing into other character's melee but still isn't high enough in priority to win against something like Epyon and Exia. This isn't thoroughly tested but I believe his Forward melee has the ability to win against melee specialized characters, however, this melee has a slow startup but once the animation is playing I'm guessing this attack will beat Epyon and Exia's melee attacks when they try to smash into you with there melee attacks. Keep in mind going against characters that are equipped with a whip attack or any type of horizontal sweep attack will be a challenge for F91, as this types of attacks disrupts boost dive making Boost Step Dive obsolete in this attack range situation. F91 has no way to combat against this other than keeping his distance and fire everything he has. If you want to engage close range combat against horizontal sweeping attack users, you will have to patiently find an opening, because it is very difficult for many characters to engage into these types of characters. Hope this helped, again I don't normally play F91 so I might be missing other pointers here and there, but I think this is a pretty good foundation for a starting point for you to start exploring the rest after understanding what I just said. Keep in mind to also apply the movement guide that was explained in this video and combine this knowledge with F91's ability in combat. I wish you luck in using F91 and if you are curious about how I explored all this about F91, here is a video of the day that I tried to learn it to help you out: th-cam.com/video/JBO24aAWilE/w-d-xo.html
you can watch the "What is Gundam Versus" video for that, it actually shows you the fight stick buttons in that video. I am currently working on a video about controls but I do not know when I will be releasing that one since I'm still working on it.
Those are under the category of "special movement options" which can also be referred to as "Command Dash" and all characters in the game have different methods and inputs to activate these abilities. I believe most of the Special movement commands are usually the Special Melee button of different directional inputs. Again just like the video mentions you will need to explore the characters yourself as there are over 100 characters in the game and I can't cover every single character on how to utilize these special movement options.
Thank you! I was having problems with boost dive but to find out all this... hopefully we can fight and my Barbados can destroy you for putting together such a great guide
You are welcome, hopefully, the fight between us will be before January 24th as that is when I will be quiting this game and will be leaving the community altogether on that date. So if you wish to engage in battle with me it will have to be before then! Anyways I'll be looking forward to your Barbatos gameplay with me if that ever comes to light.
Is it possible if you can expand on this question further? There are many times I've walked throughout the video, so I do not know which part you are referring too. It would be much appreciated if you can also be more specific with a time stamp of the video section you are referring to for me to properly answer your question as effectively as I can as I do wish to help you.
Tryflozn you were able to do the normal slow walk when you move left or right for a good amount of time, I tried to do the same, but everytime I move left or right even just barely, it goes straight into side dash.
From my knowledge only the BN-876β Hot Scramble Gundam cannot be purchased if missed. Every other mobile suite can be bought at anytime except for the one mentioned. Hot Scramble is only obtainable as pre-order bonus.
Sigh o had hoped to get a new Gundam game but I am disappointed this is the old arcade style with new skins all I wanna no is did they fix the jump or are you still frozen as u land and an ez target
And nope good job bandai reskinning the same weak arcadey crap since 2000 here's a thought pay out some cash and build a Gundam game from scratch might keep Gundam alive if u can't tell fans it's over and let Gundam be remembered fondly instead of plugging crap over and over again
I'm actually currently making a video about that topic which hopefully I can release it before the 29th. But anyways to sum up what my video will be covering. PS4 control Pad is more complicated for a player to understand in what they are actually pressing. As in on the Pad you have access to bind buttons like "Sub Weapon" button "Special Melee" Button and a "Special Shot Button" This may sound simpler but in reality it isn't. A fight stick doesn't have these bind buttons in place so a player needs to combine there button inputs to get the buttons that are bound on a Pad. Like Shoot+Melee = Sub | Melee + Boost = Special Melee | and Shoot + Boost = Special Shot. So basically why I say the Pad is more complicated is because players that don't understand how the controls function tend to do something like this. They will be holding Cross button on the PS4 Pad down right? And then they would press there bind button such as special shot or special melee which is the shortcut button for Square + Cross or Triangle + Cross together and find that there character doesn't do there attack and question why it's not happening when they are rapidly pressing the bind shortcut button. Reason why it doesn't read is because Cross is already held down which means you can't press a button that is already held down which this button being held down for this example is the cross button. On the fight stick however it's way more simplistic because you don't have bind buttons to deal with. So if you want to press shoot + Boost while you are holding boost to fly, the player needs to let go of boost and then press the 2 buttons together to achieve there attack. This is what I mean by players playing on a pad are using a way more complicated control scheme then using a fight stick. By all means I am not telling players to use one over the other, as I give mad respect for players that use pad at a tournament level in competitions, since I find that control scheme way more complicated to use then the fight stick and I am always shocked to see players able to use it really efficiently as it's more difficult to use.
Tryflozn thank for the info i play the beta and i find it more easier to control your gundam while stick is more effective for combos and as a newbie who wants to get into gundum which game should i get
I have never played SDGO but I do know about the games existence. Not sure if it plays similar at all, however when you get the chance, feel free to let me know how similar it is in your opinion.
This game gets compared to Virtual On quiet often, I probably wouldn't doubt that it was originally inspired by it back in 2001 when this series 1st started. However the game from my knowledge plays differently even though it appears visually similar. It's pretty much like going to a Blazblue/Guilty Gear video and state "Basically Street Fighter?" but yeah the closes game I would compared this to would probably be Virtual On more then anything as that's probably the most similar game off the top of anyone's head including my own.
Not really complaining but i saw an old game called armored core 4a and it looks amazing. Since this is a ps4 game iwish that some details to make it look more stunning By the way is this a gunpla game like gundam breaker?
No this is not a Gunpla type game and probably doesn't play like Breaker (Keep in mind I've never played Breaker, I've only seen footages of its gameplay and to me, it looks like another Dynasty Warrior game with customizations like Armored Core attached to it.) This is actually a really competitive PvP like fighting game that has actually displeased many die hard Gundam fans for its game play being too complex to fully understand. As the skill ceiling for this game is pretty high and many players still haven't even got near that ceiling cap yet. (Except for maybe some players located in Asia and Japan as I believe they are far better at this game than we are.) Also, they kept the graphics minimal to allow a consistent 60 FPS on the normal PS4. Since the hit box projectiles are very serious in accuracy for this game making their network code try to sync all 4 players to allow them to see everything at the same time, unlike other games where some objects within the level don't need to actually be kept track of by the net code and can be faked to make players believe that they are seeing it all at the same time, but in reality they are not. If I remember correctly Armored 4A had a few frame rate drops issues during combat when all players attack each other with a ton of missiles and machine guns at the same time and I do not recall if the game was running at 60FPS I believe it was at 30FPS. (And it still had frame rate issues with 30FPS.) So making it similar to armored core 4A quality would be possible at 60 FPS but at the same time, there would be a risk of the frame rate drop issues on a normal PS4 unlike the PS4 Pro which could probably handle it. (However, Gundam Versus's 60FPS is not targeted for PS4 Pro system as it is originally intended for a normal PS4 System) So the current art direction they went with allows the current Gundam Versus game to contain a solid 60 FPS even on a normal PS4. The only time the frames will ever truly drop for Gundam Versus is if someone is having internet connection issues within your current play sessions or they are playing on a very unstable wifi signal. Other then that in perfect network signal with the peers similar to the ones I've experienced playing with in my respective region during North America's free Beta trial, I have never experienced a frame drop before even with tons of projectiles and objects on screen flying by all at once. Keep in mind I am not saying Gundam Versus net code is good by all means as I have heard many complaints of the current net code being unstable. However, the net code still does it's job very well when everyone has maxed out blue signal bars with everyone else including your own connection within the same match, making your experience a very smooth ride at a solid 60FPS with no frame drops issues.
I would say there different games just like how Guilty Gear and Street Fighter are different games. In any case if you have a PS4 and don't have anything to do this weekend, why not try the game out for free and tell me how similar this game is to Vitual On after you played it? would love to hear your thoughts about the similarities and differences of the two game, since so many people compare these two games with each other extremely often without playing one of them. The Free Trial is available now for pre-download on the North American PSN Store and will be playable only on September 2nd - 4th for free without the need of PSN+ to go online.
Basically how to be newtype
Step one, get the game. Step two, get good. Learned a lot from this actually.
not gonna lie this game looks ridiculously difficult for a newcomer but it also looks incredibly badass
Yeah I agree, it doesn't just look like it, it is because of the high ceiling cap that this game has for new comers to reach. However don't let that scare you as this game is still pretty fun even if you are not that skilled since the battle system is pretty refined.
took me at least a month and nearly damaging my control to get better at it... but that was back in the first Gundam Versus.
Lol i was thinking the same thing. Ive been playing these games since the first one on ps2. Ive been telling people about this one and they look at me crazy when i show them the gameplay.
I picked it up about a week ago and the game's single player modes provides plenty of good opportunities to learn how to handle your mobile suit, even for fresh beginners. It's really a lot like armored core in that it's suitable for all player skill levels.
I agree with what everyone has said thus far, as I think difficulty also comes by how far the player wants to advance in there skill. If a player isn't interested in competition the learning curve isn't as bad as it's pretty easy to pick up the game and just play with a bunch of players at the same skill level or lower.
When I mentioned the high ceiling cap implying towards players that were interested to learn everything there is to learn about the game. That part is pretty technical and is not easy to master. If you believe you as a player already has mastered everything the game has to offer than by all means I give you mad respect as I'm still trying to reach that level myself.
Nice guide. This help me see the overall movement we can use. But I'm quite confused at the combination of many boost action (Starting from Fuwa boost). Would be great if there are button inputs shown in the video :)
I will keep that in mind for future videos. I just believed that it wasn't necessary since I showed how the boost button was utilized before going into the different techniques and doing those other boost actions just consisted of tapping the same button again to perform a new action or combining 2 different boost actions to achieve a completely new action. But I can see how that is confusing for someone completely new to the game. Really appreciate the feed back!
I had no idea that rainbow break existed and just thought is was a Heavyarms exclusive thing. I'm going to have to test what actions leave this orange trail when stepping on all my units now. Glad I decided to watch this. You're a good teacher. It's always fun to face you too.
Dude your always fun to play against too! Also glad it helped you out for someone who's been with this series for awhile. Have you seen Skyslam's version of movement guide yet? He goes further into explaining how each action functions with other techniques. Similar to how you rapid fire Beam Magnum from unicorn with Boost Dive instead of Zunda. If you haven't, you should take a look at it as it covers more stuff that I just basically skimmed through.
When I was much younger, I got a copy of Gundam Federation Vs. Zeon around the time of its release. I was in elementary school at the time and had never played another game like it and still love it to this day. Fast forward to earlier this year, I find out that the series has continued on and I'm incredibly excited to pick up a copy when it drops in the US. This tutorial was extremely helpful for me as the original Federation Vs. Zeon didn't have nearly as many movement combos. I will certainly have to brush up on all of this once the game is finally out in the states!
It was a good refresher even for me who's been playing a lot. I didn't like using R3, so the striker + boost for boost dive is gonna be helpful.
i set my boost dive to r1 and set striker to L3. i find this so much more useful where as by default it was boost+ stirker.
can you map your own buttons?
Shooter Cade Yes all the buttons are mappable, enjoy the beta!!!
kazemegaman is that in the options menu? Sorry, i cant seem to find where you map the buttons
Azrial it should be somewhere in the options or battle menu before you enter a match. It'll display both ps4 and ps3 controls
Thanks for this very helpful video. I only watch gundam anime before playing this game, and seems like there are not many people play this game outside Asia now. I hope your tutorial can attract more people to join this game.
I believe there are even more players then before playing this now. I could be wrong but the community I was part of was pretty small for both "Gundam Vs Gundam Next" and "Extreme Vs. Full Boost" to prove this even further, Evolution Championship Series 2017 for this game was 4 times the size of the biggest one on record for the "Gundam Vs" Series which was the one held in 2014. If anything I would assume from these statistics that the community is growing at an alarming rate if anything. However we shall see how this game will sell, when the western release comes out for us all.
Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for. This is my first Gundam VS game, so I never knew just how important movement is. You're exactly right, trying to learn anything before movement in this game is a mistake. I wish the game provided a more in-depth tutorial on movement as there so many ways to move. Again, thank you and great job on this video. I'm subscribing!
You are welcome!
Thank you for the tutorial, your explanation was very good. I'm buying the game soon so I found it really helpful.
I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do!
The only game in the series I'd played was Higurashi Daybreak, and I played that super casually. Having just bought Gundam Versus today, I really appreciate this tutorial. It kinda makes me want to apply some of the stuff to Daybreak.
Oh, I played that game before! Good luck with applying it over there though~
Boost dash, boost dive, boost dash dive, boost hop drop, boost dab drive, boost hip slip. Loads to learn!
"Gundam Battle silently twiddles thumbs in corner"
Great vid. Just picked this up recently so I’ll have to watch it again and start practicing.
Outstanding and well done video, TryFlozn! You taught me a few things I wasn't too sure of and introduced new techniques I had no idea we're even in the game!
Also, great use of the Gundam Versus Gundam Next+ soundtrack on this vid!
Thanks dude! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
Great content, Try. I asked around about rainbow breaking in the Discord and no one knew what I was talking about. Keep it up.
Oh! I must have missed the message, I would have answered it if I saw the message. Sorry for missing it.
Tryflozn that's not on you. You mentioned it in another video so I asked in the team ABC discord.
No worries, just letting you know I would have told you if I saw it!
Thanks for the video man! Me and my cousin just spent hours playing the beta and LOVED IT. Your video helped make more sense of the different movements we can use, so hopefully when the game comes out he and I will rock it! Cheers!
Yo always relieved to hear that my guides are helping out new players out and super stoked to always find out people are having a blast with this game!
This game comes out here on Thursday, I'm super hyped! I love Gundam but I'm new to this game series. Thanks for this helpful video!
Hope your connection is stable enough with mine to play! If so see you online!
Thank so much for this vid, my warrior-brotha. See you on the battlefield.
Thanks for these videos, I haven't played one of these games since Gundam vs Zeta Gundam, clearly a lot has changed since then.
You are welcome and I hope you enjoy the new Gundam Versus game.
This noob appreciate this guide, good stuff!!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for this video. Tryflozn Versus. This should help a lot of new comers. What I can see is, although it was a game that targets most Japanese players, in terms of a depth, variety, strategy, durability this game beats the hell of out many fighting and shooting games in the West. Thankfully, they are releasing a English version to U.S. and hopefully more PS4 players will join and start enjoy the game.
Yeah I hope so too dude and your welcome!
Char Aznable I mean longevity
Great tutorial!
Also , I like that you used NEXT+ music in there!
I actually like NEXT Plus OST!
Me too, especially the songs you used here haha
Thanks for the awesome gameplay tutorial on Gundam Versus! I look forward to playing this one
This was incredibly helpful. Thanks a lot!
Thanks a ton for the info, but if you could include Notation to allow me to understand what buttons are being pushed that would do even more wonders for me to keep up.
Most excellent video. I look forward to learning more from future features. I especially look forward to some strategy videos. Ohh, oh and some combo demos/explanations.
AND.. I don't get to play as much as I should so it's nice to have several videos covering the same topics. You guys have slight differences in how you explain it that display variation in play style. That alone reinforces these techniques in the ol' neural noodle.
Great to hear, however I won't be diving into strategy as much as Skyslam might be, but I'll cover a bit of it. Mostly I try to give a general basis for players to work off of and let them explore the said feature instead of instructing people that they need to do it a certain way. Sky is the same for that matter but goes further into explaining how said feature behave, where as I just let you know it exists more so.
This is a pretty good tutorial for the newcomers for movement. Can we also get a combat basics? Like how to use special attacks or swapping weapons for certain characters.
That is already on my list to do, but before I cover that, I'm planning to cover controls so that both Pad and Stick players will stop getting confused on inputs.
Does this game have single player? (Not necessarily campaign, but single player battles.)
And does it have local multiplayer/split screen?
Thank you.
Yes there are single player battles for offline as well as an online 1on1 mode. There is no Split Screen and there is a Local Multiplayer option, however I believe you are probably asking about a LAN feature for multiplayer? If so then the answer would be no.
I love this game, but the way it handles the movement mechanics drive me crazy. A lot of what's mentioned in this very useful video just isn't discussed in the game much, if at all, and you basically don't stand a chance without know howing to do most of this in the multiplayer mode. It's almost like going into a fighting game and you're suddenly having to fight tournament-level frame counters while you only have a basic grasp of the mechanics.
Thank god there's tutorials like this one out there or we'd just be screwed.
I think this can be said for any competitive game except for maybe Guilty Gear since I think the in-game tutorial for that game is pretty solid.
Most of these movements types in Gundam Versus are now common knowledge but the funny thing is that some of these movement options were not designed intended to be in the game from start. Some of these were originally exploits used by tournament level players that brought attention to the developers that these movement options existed in the game.
Fast-forward to this current day, the developers now acknowledge that these movement options are now stapled mechanics for this game's franchise, but they probably found it too complicated to cover hence why it's not explained in the in-game tutorial as they are technically labeled as a more advanced way to move even though I see them as still fundamental basics that players should probably learn about.
You are welcome for the tutorial I am happy to hear that it has helped you along your way!
Seeing the psycho zaku move like that is fucking crazy
*See's how to perform movement dash* Ooooooohhh....I was playing it wrong the whole time.
I'm glad to hear it's helping you.
I didn't realize i was using Fuwa boost even from the first VS game.
Darteiga Sim *stops spamming boost step to move
Boost step? Ive been doing that since Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs Zeon. Way ahead of you
Moving Forward and Walking around on the field? I've been doing that since Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs Zeon. Way ahead of you!
Thanks for the amazing video! See yah around for the NA release!
Yey more Tryflozen-sensei
Great vid!
Thanks dude!
dude you totally saved my ass in this game
As a newcomer, yeah what the hell. It's just like when I tried to solve my mathematics but this game was fun.
this was super informative! been a huge fan of gundam but the beta was my first taste! still slow on the terms and inputs but this explains a lot about why i got wrekt and couldn't hit anything :/
SWIVEL here
Ken Ken
Virtual ball joint here...
...and any ball joint can be a SWIVEL
Come on man. He specifically asked people not comment jobby references on other peoples videos. Don’t be a dick.

To be fair, these comments were from MONTHS ago, before Jobby asked people to stop.
Swivel man Jobby
Is there a way you could make a tier list for all suits in the game. Yes I understand that every Unit can be made viable but I'd like to see your personal view and I'm sure those interested in the game would like to see it as well.
Also
Maybe you could make an advanced x2 guide. When to attack, how to properly use melee and strike classes, how to use shooting classes better, how to effectively play on a team.
Just trying to give you things to do that would support the game more. I share these videos with my comrades.
Tiers are really muddy outside of:
-X1FC, Hot Scramble, Zeong, Gyan, Marsai and GM Custom being among the best in their cost brackets.
-300 and 200 costs being really bad in general.
Also tiers in general are the last thing newer players need to look at. What you should be looking at when starting out is suits that are "easy to understand", like RX-78, Freedom, Exia, Zeta, and so on, while avoiding more difficult suits such as EZ8, Hyaku Shiki, GP02, etc.
There are already a lot of topics I need to cover and it's pretty tough for me to make tutorial videos as I am currently a one-man army producing all these contents without any external help. I will do my best to cover as many "General" topics as I can, as I find "Specific" topics like a "How To Play This Character" is something I can't see myself doing as I barely even play the entire roster let alone only a hand full that I actually feel like I fully understand them personally.
Also if you want a Tier list just check this site: exvsrank.ninja-x.jp/gvs_500.html
It gets updated like once a month so it's pretty accurate. I to follow that same tier list as I do not play this game competitively and have no actual interest to do so to actually confirm if I agree with most of that list. However, for the characters that I do play, that list is pretty spot on about everything so far from what I've seen.
Great video, you sir need to be paid for this
That would help, that way I can get a computer upgrade for video editing. Pretty much that's what's making it difficult for me to poop out videos really fast at the moment lol
Real good work ⭐
That Next Plus OST, nostalgia...but good video, thank you.
thanks for the compliment
I lost you at fuwa step😅.I used to play Gundam VS Gundam Next Plust before my psp broke.I mostly relied on my instict or my rage so i never knew what these stuff were called.
Yeah, most of this stuff kinda of worked in Gundam Vs Gundam Next Plus. I just recently re-played that game to see, however, I'd say the mechanics were not as refined as how the current generation of Gundam Versus game currently is.
Very helpful video thank you
bought my first fight pad in preparation for this game.
Hope you will end up enjoying the game as much as I do!
I regret getting an Xbox.
great tutorial
I really want to get good at this game
Don't like boost dive, but damn this game is crazy!
What's your reason for not liking the new boost dive mechanic?
Nice tutorial!
I think u try to say "able to use projectile" at 3:47?
I was trying to say "enabled" which means "give (someone or something) the authority or means to do something." Which I can see that this was a bad choice of word as it sounds like "Unable." Thanks for pointing that out I'll make sure to pick a better word next time for future videos to lessen the confusion.
can you do a tutorial on melee? like how to open with melee and the best way to avoid it
I'll probably be working on that in the future, at the moment I'm working on controls.
The worst part of this game is the Character select screen !
It should have a thumbnail showing the moveset, and it should show the stats (Life, Boost, Overall damage) of each Suit.
Making the choice much easier !
Especially when a 20 or 30% boost value will make the difference, just as much as 30% life for a Suit that cost the same.
Sorry if this was already asked, but I tried to pull off the movement shown with Gundam Ez8 with Break Cancelling, and I can pull off the second clip shown with the comparison, but I can't fire the cannon as fast as the first clip shows. Is that from the faster arcade version of this game? Or I may just need more practice, it just feels like I can only go half as fast as that clip shows. Thanks a ton for all the advice in this vid, btw! :)
Gundam Versus is console exclusive so there are no other ports. The game only exists for PS4 as well and is non-existent for arcades hence why there isn't a lot of already existing tutorial videos of this game. If you are not firing as fast as I am in the video than yeah probably you need to keep at it until you get it down. I demonstrated this sequence on the live stream over on Twitch as well on the PS4, so this footage was not sped up either encase you are doubting me that I may have sped it up when I was editing it.
I should've asked if it was from one of the previous arcade versions, and I'll be trying, but it seems impossibly fast, the only way I can pull it off is while using burst mode, which seems to speed up everything. Guess the timing is just ridiculously picky.
thanks for this. teach us how to actually land shots next video. these kids online are to fast for my shooting
Your Welcome! Was going to teach controls next, then the different attacks players can use, but I'll put that on my list to do!
Tryflozn I'm starting to get accustomed to using thr fightstick, but I have trouble with boost stepping because it's hard to find a comfortable hand/arm movement and placement for double tapping a direction when using the large joystick, which is thr biggest change coming from a pad's tiny analog sticks. Do you have any tips for that?
I don't as I just got accustomed to it by frequently using it. Maybe someone else might have some tips for you if they read this thread.
I feel like my animation cancel is incredible slow, what’s wrong.
Hey can you make a video for just blocking or how to block with certain characters
I'll probably be covering that in the far future as there are other things I would like to cover first.
I spam boost step dash with Nightingale, it works *winks*
yooo. gundam melee
I'm gonna be frank. if bandai gave Nintendo a Gundam license they would capitalize a way to allows us to put our customized Gunpla into the game. I don't know how, maybe paid barcodes or something but I know Ninty would figure it out
badfoody Combining this game and Gundam Breaker would result in what you want, though it's unlikely that will happen.
Almost same controls in Gundam Next Plus on PSP 1000 though there are other things added
yeah almost the same, just Boost Dive and Boost Step activation for melee attacks are the only thing different from NEXT. The movement is more refined in this game to allow you to do stuff like Fuwa and stuff since you can do it in NEXT but it's not a fluid as how you can accomplish it in Versus.
Thank you for this guide I'm getting my ass handed to me when I'm trying to fricken dodge beams
You are welcome, I hope you are getting better at dodging!
Really wish they'd bring a good gundam game to pc
Is there split screen please I need to know I played it so much
Thelegend27heilhitler 9/11 no
J.L.S.T Landlord a little late to response but it's new game gundam maxi boost on (which is this but better) has split screen
His game is awsome I already know my main gundam
Who are you going to main?
Tryflozn I have to say exia and unicorn gundam but mainly exia cause it’s fast and quick but unicorn as well because I’m pretty good with various type gundams
Exia is pretty fun! So is Unicorn, they are both really fun characters, but probably pretty difficult to play them at a competitive level though. Good luck on master the two!
this game looks like it was heavily influenced by gotcha force!! 😍
iirc the team that made Gotcha Force joined Capcom to make the Gundam vs series a bit back. Not 100% sure on that but I remember hearing it.
If I'm not mistaken they are both developed by the exact same team. If anything, it would be that Gotcha Force was influenced by Gundam Vs series as Gotcha Force was released in 2003 and Gundam Federation Vs Zeon was released in 2001 as both were developed by Capcom. I further believe that Gotcha Force may have been a re-skin of this game for western acceptance much like how Rise Of Incarnates was also a re-skin of this game for the same purpose.
From your experience, which button do you prefer for dive boost?
I actually mainly use Striker + Boost and I do have Boost Dive Button, which I play on a fight stick and I have the Boost Dive button located right underneath my Boost Button.
Man i tried facing u in a room once with the exvs discord. I can't connect at all. Like fuck, Im on fucking LAN DMZed.
Doin the lord's work. Ty
u can step the A shots
Yes you can, but only in Burst
What button input is needed for the swivel evade?
As said in the video you just input the direction in reverse making your character fly towards the screen then quickly input a half circle motion either towards the left or right to make your character turn that direction ending with forward. Basically the input would look something like this Down > Right > Up or Down > Left > Up and this will result in a swivel.
3:42 shouldn't it be boost step is "able" to be used for projectile attack as well. Not unable :3
I meant to say enabled but accidentally made it sound like unabled. Thanks for pointing it out though, next time I'm going to try to avoid useing words that sound similar to each other for future tutorial videos.
Tryflozn ahh yeah, np and all in all, great tutorial. Hope to see more :3
That's cool your showing that u can do this stuff but your not explaining HOW to do them ( witch buttons )
Which button for what exactly? Please be more clear as I have shown you all the button and directional inputs in the video to accomplish everything at the beginning of the video unless you skipped it. Everything after the 4-minute mark was said to be a combination of all the things listed at the beginning of the video unless you are watching the video muted.
Please be more clear on what you mean by' "showing that u can do this stuff but your not explaining HOW to do them" as you have not clearly indicated anything wrong with the video on what is absent and that statement could mean the entire video did not explain or even show a player on how to do any of the methods listed, Which I have revealed all the control inputs needed to accomplish all these tasks.
Swivel here
I love the hell out of this game, but it is unbelievably frustrating. When playing opponents online somehow they can close the gap so fast while evading, while I always find myself stumbling into an attack. Any tips guys. I seem to follow the movement guide here, but find it impossible to win against real payers most of the time.
Well for a serious answer, first I would need to know what character you plan to main. As each character has different methods to deal with players that rush at you (So please don't give me an answer of "I play everything" or "I main Random," otherwise I will probably stop answering.)
Keep in mind This movement guide is general basics which can apply to all or most characters depending on what technique you are using from this guide. Meaning this guide does not cover and inform a players character specific traits and equipment to deal with certain situations more easily. Just using the movement guide on its own will not be enough to fight toe to toe with more experienced players as they too are using much more than just the general basic foundation of what was mentioned in this guide.
This is why I was asking which character do you main? Because you will need to know your specific character in and out in order to fully take advantage of the battlefield, which you need to know your character's special properties and much more. Hence why I stress to many new players the importance of maining a single character 1st to get to know it really well before branching off to other characters of interest. As again each character in this game has different functionality even though they appear visually similar.
I'd be lying if I didn't admit to experimenting a lot, especially with series favorites. I think I'm starting to settle into either F91 of Crossbone X1, when not using suits to unlock strikers that is.
Crossbone X1 is a very good character in the game, I'd highly recommend you to start with it if you don't enjoy a rough start. I myself am not too familiar with its arsenal as I barely use it. But from fighting it head on I definitely, understand why the character is so highly regarded in competitive play. However, if you actually enjoy a challenge, and have a lot of patients, as well as not minding your losses for your matches at a frequent rate, you can probably start off with a more difficult character to learn like F91 for example.
The characters within this game's roster are not bad, they are all playable, just that some are easier to use than others. This is where the Tier list for this game comes in if you have not seen it yet which you can access it here via this link provide: exvsrank.ninja-x.jp/gvs_400.html
Quick run down to allow you to understand the Tier List, the higher the tier does not mean how good the character is, it means how easy the character is to use in the game.The ranking of the tier is determined by the popularity of player choice upon how often X number of players use that specific character and X number of wins from those characters being used. Which this results in people favoring those characters because they are much easier to play as since those characters have equipment and arsenal that is a lot easier to understand quickly as well as allowing the player to take advantage of those abilities at a faster rate.
Technically speaking you can view the tier list as them being better than the rest of the cast because their arsenal is far better equipped for combat (Even though I said it does not mean how good they are this part might sound contradicting) but in reality, players can win there matches even with the lower tier characters in the game. Winning with a lower tier character does not necessarily mean the player is better than the other player to pull this off. What it actually means, in reality, is that the player that won with a lower tier character means they spent the effort to learn their character in and out to optimally play the character at maximum performance.
So in a nutshell the lower the tier of the character the more difficult, it is for the players to grasp. This in return makes only a few players that actually had the patience to learn them are the few who can use them and make them appear easy to play as, but in reality, they're not. The higher the tier the easier it is to use since those characters are less complicated and take less effort to learn and to control. As you can see Crossbone X1 is Mid A Tier vs F91 who is Mid B Tier, resulting in a lot of players in the community had difficulty using F91 effectively and only the minority was successfully able to use F91 efficiently.
In a way, it's not a bad idea to start from the top of the tier for selecting which characters you want to start with and then branch your way downwards depending on the type of player you are. (You can do it in whatever order you please, really, it's up to how patient you are at learning.) Also, keep in mind some top-tier characters are tricky to use as well so there might be times when you might wonder why a specific character is ranked so highly among the tier. This might take some time to figure out its abilities but once you do, the character pretty much becomes super easy to use when you understand the functionality of what made this character so easy to use.
Anyways if you are interested to learn one of the two characters you've listed I will try to provide you with further information of said character of interest. As I honestly think it will take twice as much time to explain 2 different characters to you vs just explaining 1 character since I too would need to do research on both those characters as I don't play either of your characters myself. So in order to figure out how to use them effectively, I will need to put in some time to research before I can give you a rundown of the character you decide to go with.
So which character do you want to me to explain to you?
You are incredible thank you so much for your help! I think F91, considering X1 is easier for me to understand without help. I can't thank you enough!
So from what I've gathered from playing F91, I think, if you can, Spam his charge shot Triangle is better than spamming his charge shot Square as you can create up to 3 floating explosive shields floating within the level if you launch each one fast enough. From my personal experience, players seem to run into them by accident pretty frequently. Also, the Explosive Shield stops beam type projectiles upon making contact with the shield. If you haven't noticed when Beam type projectiles pass an object they usually continue traveling after they pierce through an object. But if they hit your explosive shield this negates them from traveling any further.
F91's Charge Shot Square seems really useless and I recommend to not use this attack unless you are completely out of ammo. One shot from this attack does less damage than you normally firing your square and it does less damage than your charge shot Triangle. If you want it to do more damage than your Square and Charge Shot Triangle you need to let at least 2 shots from this attack make contact with the target. This alone makes you stationary allowing you to get hit pretty easily. This is why I highly recommend reserving this attack only for when you are out of ammo. Also to make your self-evasive while shooting this attack, I recommend to only let go of Charge Shot Square at the end of a Boost Step Dive. If done correctly you will see F91 Glide while firing your Charge Shot Square attack towards the direction of your Boost Step Dive input command. This in return will make him more mobile while shooting this attack instead of staying stationary while firing.
Than F91 in MEPE Mode allows a player to spam his sub-weapon at a pretty fast rate allowing a player to rapid fire pretty easily in this mode as it appears F91 sub reloads faster in MEPE Mode as well as giving you 2 sub shots when residing in this mode. Basically when you are in this mode just spam as much firepower as possible
Now his Sub apparently has 3 variations, the 1st one is no directional Sub which fires pretty quickly but the projectile travels pretty slow across the field. The 2nd one is holding the direction down + Sub at the same time which results in him taking longer to fire his attack but increases the projectile's travel speed making this attack really difficult to dodge since it covers so much distance in such little time. His left/right + Sub seems to be ok but this sub-variation seems to shine the most in MEPE Mode as you can rapid fire it up to 4 shots/ 2 usage while residing in this mode.
F91's Special Melee is also pretty good to get into melee range pretty quickly and safely as while he glides with his shield blade out he also automatically blocks most projectiles except for Explosive types in mid-animation while moving forward. Do not rely on this move if you are fighting against melee specialize characters because this attack has mediocre priority against other melee attacks. If you smash this melee against Epyon or Exia, there is a high possibility F91 will lose the engagement with this specific attack.
F91's priority attacks seem to be his Left/Right + Triangle as it seems pretty good at smashing into other character's melee but still isn't high enough in priority to win against something like Epyon and Exia. This isn't thoroughly tested but I believe his Forward melee has the ability to win against melee specialized characters, however, this melee has a slow startup but once the animation is playing I'm guessing this attack will beat Epyon and Exia's melee attacks when they try to smash into you with there melee attacks.
Keep in mind going against characters that are equipped with a whip attack or any type of horizontal sweep attack will be a challenge for F91, as this types of attacks disrupts boost dive making Boost Step Dive obsolete in this attack range situation. F91 has no way to combat against this other than keeping his distance and fire everything he has. If you want to engage close range combat against horizontal sweeping attack users, you will have to patiently find an opening, because it is very difficult for many characters to engage into these types of characters.
Hope this helped, again I don't normally play F91 so I might be missing other pointers here and there, but I think this is a pretty good foundation for a starting point for you to start exploring the rest after understanding what I just said. Keep in mind to also apply the movement guide that was explained in this video and combine this knowledge with F91's ability in combat. I wish you luck in using F91 and if you are curious about how I explored all this about F91, here is a video of the day that I tried to learn it to help you out: th-cam.com/video/JBO24aAWilE/w-d-xo.html
can u do a how to set up fight stick buttons plz im lost
you can watch the "What is Gundam Versus" video for that, it actually shows you the fight stick buttons in that video. I am currently working on a video about controls but I do not know when I will be releasing that one since I'm still working on it.
So sometimes I see suits like Exia or Tallgesse do flips, what movement is that?
Those are under the category of "special movement options" which can also be referred to as "Command Dash" and all characters in the game have different methods and inputs to activate these abilities. I believe most of the Special movement commands are usually the Special Melee button of different directional inputs. Again just like the video mentions you will need to explore the characters yourself as there are over 100 characters in the game and I can't cover every single character on how to utilize these special movement options.
Tryflozn OK cool. Also I think played you online a few times, got owned but that was super fun.
That is possible I do host a lobby pretty often, so I'm not surprised if you played in my lobby
Thank you! I was having problems with boost dive but to find out all this... hopefully we can fight and my Barbados can destroy you for putting together such a great guide
You are welcome, hopefully, the fight between us will be before January 24th as that is when I will be quiting this game and will be leaving the community altogether on that date. So if you wish to engage in battle with me it will have to be before then! Anyways I'll be looking forward to your Barbatos gameplay with me if that ever comes to light.
Does this game acquire “Internet
How are able to just walk like that? Everytime I try to move it instantly goes to side dash.
Is it possible if you can expand on this question further? There are many times I've walked throughout the video, so I do not know which part you are referring too. It would be much appreciated if you can also be more specific with a time stamp of the video section you are referring to for me to properly answer your question as effectively as I can as I do wish to help you.
Tryflozn you were able to do the normal slow walk when you move left or right for a good amount of time, I tried to do the same, but everytime I move left or right even just barely, it goes straight into side dash.
Side Dash? have you tried to just hold down the direction input only by pressing it once and not twice?
Tryflozn I'll try that.
Will all the dlc suits become purchasable singly if missed?
From my knowledge only the BN-876β Hot Scramble Gundam cannot be purchased if missed. Every other mobile suite can be bought at anytime except for the one mentioned. Hot Scramble is only obtainable as pre-order bonus.
Tryflozn thanks man, I preordered it off amazon so it will be cool if Amazon includes it (🇬🇧 )
Sigh o had hoped to get a new Gundam game but I am disappointed this is the old arcade style with new skins all I wanna no is did they fix the jump or are you still frozen as u land and an ez target
And nope good job bandai reskinning the same weak arcadey crap since 2000 here's a thought pay out some cash and build a Gundam game from scratch might keep Gundam alive if u can't tell fans it's over and let Gundam be remembered fondly instead of plugging crap over and over again
SWIVEL ACTION HERE.
rompadompa doobelidoo iSwivel here
Being honest with games like this I’m a fast learner
That's great to hear! Good luck with the learning curve!
how diffrent is the pad and stick controls
I'm actually currently making a video about that topic which hopefully I can release it before the 29th. But anyways to sum up what my video will be covering.
PS4 control Pad is more complicated for a player to understand in what they are actually pressing. As in on the Pad you have access to bind buttons like "Sub Weapon" button "Special Melee" Button and a "Special Shot Button" This may sound simpler but in reality it isn't.
A fight stick doesn't have these bind buttons in place so a player needs to combine there button inputs to get the buttons that are bound on a Pad. Like Shoot+Melee = Sub | Melee + Boost = Special Melee | and Shoot + Boost = Special Shot.
So basically why I say the Pad is more complicated is because players that don't understand how the controls function tend to do something like this. They will be holding Cross button on the PS4 Pad down right? And then they would press there bind button such as special shot or special melee which is the shortcut button for Square + Cross or Triangle + Cross together and find that there character doesn't do there attack and question why it's not happening when they are rapidly pressing the bind shortcut button. Reason why it doesn't read is because Cross is already held down which means you can't press a button that is already held down which this button being held down for this example is the cross button.
On the fight stick however it's way more simplistic because you don't have bind buttons to deal with. So if you want to press shoot + Boost while you are holding boost to fly, the player needs to let go of boost and then press the 2 buttons together to achieve there attack.
This is what I mean by players playing on a pad are using a way more complicated control scheme then using a fight stick. By all means I am not telling players to use one over the other, as I give mad respect for players that use pad at a tournament level in competitions, since I find that control scheme way more complicated to use then the fight stick and I am always shocked to see players able to use it really efficiently as it's more difficult to use.
Tryflozn thank for the info i play the beta and i find it more easier to control your gundam while stick is more effective for combos and as a newbie who wants to get into gundum which game should i get
Arcade stick works?
Yeah, arcade stick works and it's compatible with most PS3 Sticks.
So it's basically a console version of SDGO? that's legit af.
I have never played SDGO but I do know about the games existence. Not sure if it plays similar at all, however when you get the chance, feel free to let me know how similar it is in your opinion.
Basically Virtual On?
This game gets compared to Virtual On quiet often, I probably wouldn't doubt that it was originally inspired by it back in 2001 when this series 1st started. However the game from my knowledge plays differently even though it appears visually similar. It's pretty much like going to a Blazblue/Guilty Gear video and state "Basically Street Fighter?" but yeah the closes game I would compared this to would probably be Virtual On more then anything as that's probably the most similar game off the top of anyone's head including my own.
Not really complaining but i saw an old game called armored core 4a and it looks amazing. Since this is a ps4 game iwish that some details to make it look more stunning
By the way is this a gunpla game like gundam breaker?
No this is not a Gunpla type game and probably doesn't play like Breaker (Keep in mind I've never played Breaker, I've only seen footages of its gameplay and to me, it looks like another Dynasty Warrior game with customizations like Armored Core attached to it.) This is actually a really competitive PvP like fighting game that has actually displeased many die hard Gundam fans for its game play being too complex to fully understand. As the skill ceiling for this game is pretty high and many players still haven't even got near that ceiling cap yet. (Except for maybe some players located in Asia and Japan as I believe they are far better at this game than we are.)
Also, they kept the graphics minimal to allow a consistent 60 FPS on the normal PS4. Since the hit box projectiles are very serious in accuracy for this game making their network code try to sync all 4 players to allow them to see everything at the same time, unlike other games where some objects within the level don't need to actually be kept track of by the net code and can be faked to make players believe that they are seeing it all at the same time, but in reality they are not. If I remember correctly Armored 4A had a few frame rate drops issues during combat when all players attack each other with a ton of missiles and machine guns at the same time and I do not recall if the game was running at 60FPS I believe it was at 30FPS. (And it still had frame rate issues with 30FPS.) So making it similar to armored core 4A quality would be possible at 60 FPS but at the same time, there would be a risk of the frame rate drop issues on a normal PS4 unlike the PS4 Pro which could probably handle it. (However, Gundam Versus's 60FPS is not targeted for PS4 Pro system as it is originally intended for a normal PS4 System) So the current art direction they went with allows the current Gundam Versus game to contain a solid 60 FPS even on a normal PS4.
The only time the frames will ever truly drop for Gundam Versus is if someone is having internet connection issues within your current play sessions or they are playing on a very unstable wifi signal. Other then that in perfect network signal with the peers similar to the ones I've experienced playing with in my respective region during North America's free Beta trial, I have never experienced a frame drop before even with tons of projectiles and objects on screen flying by all at once.
Keep in mind I am not saying Gundam Versus net code is good by all means as I have heard many complaints of the current net code being unstable. However, the net code still does it's job very well when everyone has maxed out blue signal bars with everyone else including your own connection within the same match, making your experience a very smooth ride at a solid 60FPS with no frame drops issues.
BRUH WTF I JUST WANTED TO HIT A ROBOT
do you wanna be punished for failing to exploit clunky animations? then i got good news for you
just spam X . Thats how i move around
So I still don't get how any of this works.
It's basically mash dash and shoot like fucking crazy
I think you should just play the game first, get the feel for it, and then try applying the advice from this video to what you can do.
50 cent
Aint this shit virtual on?
I would say there different games just like how Guilty Gear and Street Fighter are different games. In any case if you have a PS4 and don't have anything to do this weekend, why not try the game out for free and tell me how similar this game is to Vitual On after you played it? would love to hear your thoughts about the similarities and differences of the two game, since so many people compare these two games with each other extremely often without playing one of them. The Free Trial is available now for pre-download on the North American PSN Store and will be playable only on September 2nd - 4th for free without the need of PSN+ to go online.
TheSuperJamaican I prefer the complexity and fluidness of virtual on. Not this artificial clunky movement shit...
I loved playing the beta and I was able to find out everything pretty much by myself, but these controls are hot garbage nonsense
you could always remap the buttons if that the issue.
Your voice cracking is a bit distracting..
The content is great and all but holy shit. Disorientated? Interpretated? Bruh.
yeah, even now I still run into a wall every so often when I'm navigating the terrain with Boost Dash.
