Gundam Versus Impressions Part 3(Wing, Gundam Missing Link)

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing

Wing Gundam Zero
 The Wing Gundam Zero has been a consistently good unit throughout the Versus games, and this is no exception. It has great long-range game and pretty good melee, which makes it very versatile and a strong 500 lead.

Gundam Epyon
 The Epyon is a very fun Mobile Suit to use, thanks to the endless slashes with directional inputs, but it hasn't got a single projectile attack. Luckily, Versus adds custom supports, so you can fix that with a good ranged assist. That said, the Epyon is the worst unit to take on Single Player runs.

Gundam Deathscythe Hell
 Deathscythe Hell is one of the most fun units you can use thanks to its vicious melee attacks. The coat mode has changed, I think, and now it's a single forward-thrust kick that he executes while armored. It's long-range and mid-range game is weak, but it has a few neat ways it can approach enemy suits.

NEW Tallgeese II
 A somewhat new unit, as it was DLC in Full Boost this is the first time I'm using it. It has very slow melee attacks, but its projectiles are fast and deadly... but be careful not to go too trigger happy and run out of ammo. Not the best 400 unit out there...

Tallgeese
 Making its grand return since Gundam VS Gundam, the Tallgeese is a more offense-oriented version of the Tallgeese II. It's approach to full-on offense made me have more fun with it than its successor, but not a unit I'll be using much.

NEW Altron Gundam
 This bad boy used to be DLC in Full Boost. I've always been rather fond of Altron Gundam, and preferred its TV incarnation over the Endless Waltz one, so am I glad this one made it in. That said, it's a very mediocre unit, I'm not much of a fan of the stretchy limbs as projectiles, but he has a decent 3-round tail-beam attack that somewhat makes up for them.

NEW Gundam Sandrock Kai
 Another unit that debuted as DLC in Full Boost, the Sandrock is yet another melee-oriented Wing Gundam unit. His machingun kinda blows, but using its massive shotels to attack is rather fun!


Mobile Suit Gundam - Sidestory - Missing Link

NEW Vincent's Gelgoog High Mobility Type
 I've never been much of a fan of the Gelgoog design, and this does the design no favors. It has a very basic and straightforward moveset, making it for a decent, all-around low-cost unit. I liked its R2-enhanced dash, but it's a bit situational.

NEW Slave Wraith
 Missiles, Beams, machinguns and Bazooka rounds, if it's a projectile, this guy's got it. To compensate, it has a very poor close-range game. I didn't like it too much, but it's probably a great 300-cost support unit, great for hanging  behind a stronger lead, pelting away at enemies.

Bonus

Mobile Suit Gundam Z

NEW Hizack

 Well, it's a Hizack, y'know, Z's basic fodder enemy. In this game it's got a ton of different projectiles, and while the ammo stock is low, it recharges so fast you'll probably have your weapon back just when you need it again. It's melee is kinda bad, but its ultimate move is a giant Gerobi. For a 200 unit you could do so much worse.
