** Judging from the way the parts are wielded, it would be impractical to do so. Also, doing this in the heat of a battle is very dangerous as it would leave itself open. It doesn't help that most of the fields lack camping spots.

* Why do the PPSE gunplas seem so underpowered? Sure the Kampfer Amazing can shrug off a direct hit from the K9, but all their technologies manifest themselves in such mundane ways. You'd think that the creators of gunpla battle would have had Plavsky power gates and powered frames down with all their researchers and development, but all they do is make traditional-style gunpla with best-in-class performance, and even then it's not by much.

** The same reason people root for professional sports teams that have way more money (and therefore better players) than the one they're currently playing.


Added DiffLines:

** It's not just Plavsky hax -- the "new generation" also demonstrates much more imagination and creativity than the old guard, much like Sei earlier in the show, many of the old guard let Gundam canon constrain them (note most of the canon-fodder so far have been fairly standard kits without any extensive mods). For example the Tallgeese Valkyrie would fit right in the universe of Wing, but the Sengoku Astray is something completely wild compared to its source material. In addition to more creative builds - tactics and strategies have advanced beyond "make a kickass Gunpla and be a good pilot" - The Renato brothers using different suits instead of the same one each battle to keep people guessing, The Kampfer Amazing is basically a swiss army knife, and Team Nemesis is ''outright cheating''.

***** The metagame simply hasn't had time to catch up yet. Building a high quality gunpla takes weeks or even months of effort. Most builders don't have Sei, Mao, or Nils' building skills, but you can bet that next year they're going to try to copy their techniques.

*** Given the real-world reaction to these hacks (generally negative) it's unlikely, not only because people don't really like them, but also because there are still plenty of world level fighters capable of winning the tournament on their tactics and skills alone. Bear in mind that in this tournament all the competitors had more than enough time to create gunpla with plavsky hacks before the finals, but practically nobody did.

** What's going to happen the instant the tournament is over? Everyone's going to start incorporating Plavsky hacks into their Gunpla. By the time the next tournament rolls around, ''not'' having Plavsky hacks will be seen as strange on the competitive level. That's why it's a revolution. Everyone's going to be copying the new techniques displayed at the championship, and the Gunpla scene will be changed.

* Why is the new generation described as a revolution? As far as we can tell the only gunpla using "Plavsky hacks" are the Star Build Strike and the Sengoku Astray. All 14 other players in the finals are just skilled fighters using well-built standard gunpla.

*Why do people cheer for the likes of Nils and Aila during their battles? Imagine taking the time and probably spending money to watch a highly anticipated gunpla battle live... and the fight is over in a matter of minutes under very suspicious circumstances and nobody knowing what's going on.

* Someone help me out here. Wing Fenice, what particular kit is it based off of? -- While present Fenice is seriously kitbashed and scratch-built, the version he's it's got of it as a kid has the body of series Wing, but the wings of Endless Waltz's design (not Wing Zero's feather wings, the ones the flashbacks of Wing have). Is there a particular kit like this, or was Ricardo simply just kitbashing even from his childhood by sticking Endless Waltz wings on it?
