Line 18:
* '''''Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs Gundam NEXT''''' (2009): An overall improved version of ''Gundam vs Gundam'', boasting more new Mobile Suits, new stages, new music, re-balanced characters, and the NEXT Dash ability, allowing every character to dash-cancel their attacks for even faster action. After spending most of 2009 in arcades, a PSP port (''NEXT Plus'') was released in September, gaining [[Gundam Wing|Wing Zero Custom, Altron Custom]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|the 00-Raiser and Reborns Gundam]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam|the Zeong]], [[Zeta Gundam|The O]], [[Gundam Seed|Providence Gundam]], and [[Gundam Unicorn|the Kshatriya]], along with a Mission Mode.
 
* '''''Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs.''''' (2010): The newest game in the series, having been released in arcades in late 2010 and set for a December 2011 release for [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]. The game resembles ''Gundam vs Gundam'', but was rebuilt from the ground up with a few changes: Mobile Assists are only given to some characters, while every MS has a character-specific [[Super Mode]] dubbed an Extreme Burst, with several having [[Finishing Move]]s on top of that. It also uses a card system similar to ''[[Street Fighter]] IV'' that lets the player customize play options like the interface design and [[Mission Control]]. It is also the first game in the series to include mecha and characters from non-animated Gundam works, including ''[[Crossbone Gundam]]'', ''[[Gundam IGLOO]]'', and ''[[Gundam SEED Astray]]''. The home version was released December 2011 for [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] and gained several new units, including [[Gundam SEED Astray|Blue Frame Second L]] and [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam Dynames]], not to mention [[Downloadable Content|DLC]], which introduced [[Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story The Blue Destiny|Blue Destiny 1]] among others.
 
* '''''Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost''''' (2012): Announced shortly before the home release of the original ''Extreme Vs.''. The game will reportedly add a [[Combo Breaker]] feature, give two choices of [[Super Mode]], and give everybody a [[Super Move]]. Several new characters have been confirmed including [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Char's Zeong, M'Quve's Gyan]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story Blue Destiny|Nimbus' Efreet Kai]], [[Turn a Gundam|Corin's Kapool]], [[Gundam Seed|Yzak's Duel Gundam AS, Sven's Strike Noir and Selene's Stargazer]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Nena's Throne Drei and Ribbons' Reborns Gundam]] and [[Gundam Unicorn|Unicorn Banshee]] (in addition to everything from the home version of the original ''ExVs'').
Line 29:
** Starting with ''Gundam vs. Gundam NEXT'', each game has had its own theme song. ''NEXT'''s a remix of "[[Mobile Suit Gundam|Ai Senshi]]" by [[Gackt]], ''Extreme Vs.'' had [[Linkin Park]]'s "The Catalyst" from their ''A Thousand Suns'' album, and ''Full Boost'' has " FIGHT IT OUT feat. K(Pay money To my Pain)" by both Akihiro Namba and Takeshi Ueda.
* [[Assist Character]]: ''Gundam vs. Gundam'' introduces Mobile Assists for every playable machine, with some (such as the Acguy) having separate assist-like moves. In ''Extreme Vs'', assists are no longer universal, usually only possessed by the machines without enough weapons or moves to fill out the standard five-part moveset. Some machines (like the [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|GP02A]]) have more than one Assist Character, which are "chosen" by holding in one direction or another while pressing the command.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: ''AEUG Vs. Titans'' introduced the Revive Awakening, which lets you avoid death but costs one of your mobile suit's limbs (and everything connected to it, like weapons, shields, or abilities); it can be used multiple times, as long as you refill the meter beforehand. ''Gundam vs Gundam NEXT'' brought this ability back, but only gave it to certain machines which did this kind of thing in their home series. The Hyaku-Shiki loses its left arm, limiting its melee options and taking away the [[BFG|Mega Bazooka Launcher]]. The O can use this multiple times, first losing its head to no great effect, but losing its left arm and beam rifle the second. In the meantime, the Titans Gundam Mk-II loses its left arm, which gets rid of its shield and its ability to reload, limiting it to what ammo it has left.
** A couple of machines take this a step further, with a special "extra form" that it assumes upon being destroyed. The Zeong is reduced to just the head, which flies around and only has its [[Breath Weapon]] beam. In ''Extreme Vs.'', Gundam Exia turns into Exia Repair, which cuts it down to just its beam rifle and a stripped-down melee moveset.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Do well enough in ''Gundam vs Gundam NEXT'', and you'll be "treated" to a fight with the [[Gundam Seed Destiny|Strike Freedom Gundam]].
* [[Boss Fight]]: Sometimes a stage's goal will be to take out one specific character. ''Gundam vs Gundam NEXT'' adds in full-on boss battles usually with mobile armors, including the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Elmeth]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team|Apsaras III]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|Gundam GP03 Orchis]], [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Psyco Gundam]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Quin Mantha]], [[Chars Counterattack|Alpha Azieru]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam F91|Rafflesia]], [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Zanneck]], [[G Gundam|Devil Gundam]], [[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|WaDom]], and [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Strike Freedom with METEOR]].
** ''Extreme Vs'' brings in the [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Regnant]] and [[Original Generation|Extreme Gundam]], which currently has [[BFG|Carnage Phase]], [[BFS|Tachion Phase]] & [[Attack Drone|Ignis]] [[An Ice Person|Phase]] forms.
*** The home version adds the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Zakrello]], [[Gundam IGLOO|Big-Rang]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team|Apsaras II]], [[Crossbone Gundam|Divinidad]], [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Adrastea]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Destroy Gundam]], [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Psycho Gundam Mk-II]] and [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|GN Arms Type-D]]. ''Full Boost'' is slated to add more, but so far the only one known is the [[Gundam Unicorn|Shamblo]].
Line 68:
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: In ''Extreme Vs'', a bug can give the [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|00 Gundam]] permanent Trans-Am (which includes defensive teleportation in the form of Quantumization, making it nigh-on impossible to hit).
* [[Joke Character]]: Meer Campbell's ZAKU Warrior in ''Alliance vs ZAFT II'', which prances around, dances, and flings grenades. Can be a [[Lethal Joke Character]] in the right hands.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Quite a bit of the inter-universe dialog in ''Gundam vs Gundam NEXT''. For example, Quattro comments on the [[Expy|similarities]] between Camille and Shinn, Amuro grouses about [[Iconic Characters|Char imitators]], and most characters dismiss [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Celestial Being's]] ''modus operandi'' as nonsense (though Kira, [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Usso]], and [[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|Loran]] agree with them).
** If Mu La Flaga (Akatsuki) is partnered with Quattro Bajeena (Hyaku-Shiki), he'll say "Yours is golden too, huh? Well then, let's show them our Golden Combination!"
** When you partner Char (piloting Sazabi) and Zechs (piloting Epyon), they give a lot of back-and-forth monologues in which they give off their anti-Earth rhetoric; one of Char's post-battle quotes further lampshades the fact that Zechs' attitude is an act by having him ask if Zechs is really serious about his ideals.
Line 76:
* [[Meta Mecha]]: Extreme Gundam has three power suit-like "Phases" (so far): [[Beam Spam|Carnage Phase]], [[BFS|Tachion Phase]] & [[Attack Drone|Ignis]] [[An Ice Person|Phase]].
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Power Awakening turns your character into this, beefing up the damage you deal and granting resistance to hitstun (unless you take a big enough hit to knock you down).
* [[Mission Control]]: ''Extreme Vs'' adds selectable navigators, whose main purpose is to tell you how awesome you are after you win. The current roster includes [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Haro, Fraw Bow, Ghiren Zabi, Lalah Sune]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team|Aina Sahalin]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket|Alfred Izuhura]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|South Burning, Cima Garahau]], [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Fa Yuiry]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Elpeo Puru]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack|Quess Paraya]], [[Gundam Unicorn|Micott Bartsch, Suberoa Zinnerman, Audrey Burne]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam F91|Cecily Fairchild]], [[Crossbone Gundam|Bernadette Briett]], [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Katejina Loos]], [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|Rain Mikamura]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Relena Darlian]], [[After War Gundam X|Tiffa Adill]], [[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|Sochie Heim]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Mirialia Haww, Lacus Clyne]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny|Meer Campbell, Meyrin Hawke]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Sumeragi Li Noriega, Feldt Grace, Nena Trinity]] and [[Original Generation|Cecia Avea, who is voiced by]] [[Ayana Taketatsu]].
* [[Not So Different]]: In ''Gundam vs Zeta'', Kamille's Titans route gives him a final battle with Amuro; at several points during the fight, they both shout out various stock phrases (like "Why you!" and "I'll get you!") in perfect unison.
* [[Orgasmic Combat]]: Tifa from ''[[After War Gundam X|Gundam X]]'' spouts some rather naughty lines in the Gundam DX, complete with orgasm scream when DX dies during the final blow. Just use the DX in Arcade and you will know why.
Line 102:
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: [[Gotcha Force]], also by Capcom, has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGyQGRxD8XE more than a couple gameplay similarities]. Unfortunately, despite being a stellar game in its own right, it was promptly ignored [[Animation Age Ghetto|for]] [[8.8|several]] [[Invisible Advertising|reasons]].
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: ''Alliance vs ZAFT II'' included the Windam Missile Type, whose entire draw was being able to fire nuclear missiles. Several weapons in ''Gundam vs Gundam'' have similar effects, including the Zaku Kai's hand grenade traps, Gundam Physalis's atomic bazooka, Zanneck's mega beam cannon, Gundam Spiegel's explosive kunai, Wing Zero's twin buster rifle, and Gundam Double X's twin satellite cannon, and Turn A's hand-thrown nuke. ''Extreme Vs'' brings most of these back while adding in a couple more, like Crossbone X-1 Kai's atomic shell.
* [[Super Mode]]: In the Universal Century and Cosmic Era, there are Awakenings: Assault (increased damage and super armor), Mobility (increased speed and boost), and Revival ([[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]). The ''SEED'' games rename the former two to Power and Speed, and replace Revival with Combo (infinite ammo and the ability to combo pretty much anything into anything else).
** In ''Gundam vs Gundam'', several machines have unique Super Modes, including the Zeta Gundam (Biosensor Rage Mode), Gundam F91 (M.E.P.E. Mode), Shining, God, and Master Gundams (Meikyo Shisui), Turn A Gundam (Moonlight Butterfly Mode), Freedom and Strike Freedom (S.E.E.D. Mode), and Gundam Exia, 00-Raiser, and Reborns Gundam (Trans Am Mode). The O has the ability to use all three of the old-style Awakenings.
** ''Extreme Vs'' restores Awakenings, now called "Extreme Bursts" and character-specific; for example, the ''00'' Gundams get Trans Am, Freedom and Justice get S.E.E.D. Mode, Nu Gundam gets Psychoframe Resonance, etc.
