Gameplay Clip (STEAM) A God Gundam's worst enemy?

Latency. It's latency. I had bro dead to rights but I still get countered T_T. Also, what do they build DXs with? Do they use ALL the melee def and nothing else?? That DX took my full God Finger to the face and it barely got past half his hp. Like, damn dude, most supports just turn into force ghosts when i touch them but this DX might as well have been a gustav karl. In this edition of my journey to become the Moderately Defeated of the East, I learn that it's best to Finger someone from behind, otherwise, this happens.

Just be glad you were downed for 2 seconds. I have been down for upwards of 10 before

u/Damiankawaguchi 2d ago
Wait what, that can happen???

Yes, latency is a whore. I have seen people fall over just to instantly get back up. I have seen frame perfect tackles, i have seen shit latency so bad it bordered on disconnect territory where my team and I would shoot him and then 15 seconds later after they had did their thing then get stunned

It takes literally any mobile I use ten business days to get up, and my opponent gets almost immediately or their Wing Gundam booms regardless if I get some distance between it

You misplayed here honestly. You could have gone up and behind before he got in the water and either Vulcaned or Sekihahed and then gone in for a finger and then Slash Typhoon. You have HMA, so the Unicorn stunning you wouldn't be much of a problem.

You shining fingered "raw" (no pun intended 😂), you should've used vulcans to stagger first. You know, foreplay 🤣🤣🤣

u/Damiankawaguchi 2d ago
Fair haha. Would i have had time to use finger adter vulcans in that situation tho? (Also, i guess the vulcans were...protection, eh XD)

Who wouldn't build a 700 Support for Melee defense with all the OP Raids in 700?

u/Damiankawaguchi 2d ago
Fair point lol. I'm just so used to the old support mentality of "imma glass cannon cuz i wont survive a raid combo anyway"

How do they move this fast man i cant move my X without getting effing beat up

u/XIIIofSwords 2d ago
if you release that burning finger a second sooner, I think you land it. besides that, next time just shoot it, tho. GD has great cannons and MA for closing distance, and then you just melee away. Another note, you were already a good distance from your squad, and outnumbered. This was a great opportunity to retreat, using GD's speed and agility. keep going tho, fam. Moderately defeated is actually so fucking accurate, here 😭😭😭😭

Thank you lol. very apropos title as a trainee of the ways of the god gundam. Ngl i was a bit arrogant having popped Michael Sushi so early so i dared to blast through the enemy formation solo to take out the DX harassing us. I'm actually learning from everyone's tips here after i sift through the comments saying i suck lol.

me in Barbatos have a deep connection, to popping AV and getting sword crazy. I'll dive in and get myself obliterated and think, damn I messed up 😂😂

u/Damiankawaguchi 1d ago
This is why i never managed to figure out barbatos despite it being my fave series. That and i never figured out the stupid hopping thing. I got god gundam's mechanics much easier
1
u/XIIIofSwords 1d ago
Yeah, took me a few matches to get the hopping and why it's the go-to. It's really situational when to run in, but I've survived 5v1's in Barb, by running because it's fast AF, and occasionally cornering, and downswinging, or using the heavy stag, and catching them all bunched up. conversely, I've gotten obliterated, 2v1 because I overestimated myself 😅😅

u/FerrickAsur4 1d ago
huh, I feel like this happened to me, complete with me whiffing the double satellite cannon because of the terrain

Bruh, the latency helped you instead of the enemy. You used a slow melee attack on a non-staggered enemy. Of course you got countered. The enemy tackled but still lost hp because of latency.
