All-Purpose Gundam Fanfiction Thread

Not enormously so. He uses solid/beam swords, those big scabbard-blades, that halo thing, and the Tri-Punisher. In firepower terms, that's nothing that, say, the God Gundam doesn't bring to the field, and the Sekiha Tenkyoken is arguably less unwieldy than the Tri-Punisher. The Masurao and Susanoo are lighter and faster than the average Gundam, but their lack of a Mobile Trace System rather offsets that, and they're not nearly as tough.

Are there any Gundams/pilots in another continuity that would actually do well in G Gundam and be a match for most Mobile Fighters?

Well, there's the obvious answers of Loran and the Turn A and Setsuna and the 00 Qan{T} (or hell, even the 00-Raiser). Kio would probably do well in his AGE-FX given that it's a guilt-free sports competition, Athrun's Infinite Justice is well-designed for a Gundam Fight (and hopefully a dose of SEED Mode could make up for his sluggish control system), Milliardo or Heero and the Epyon would do well thanks to the Zero System, provided they don't decide it fits their sense of aesthetics better to lose, Banagher and the Unicorn would probably fare extremely well if he can get its NT-D mode to work for him rather than the other way around, whilst Uso and Amuro in the Nu Gundam and Victory-2 respectively would not be ideally-suited to a Gundam Fight, but have enough guile and raw power to compensate regardless.

I thought Amuro piloted the Nu Gundam?

Whoops, mixed up my sentence structure. Whoever piloted the Nu would, however, run the risk of disappearing in a puff of Newtype magic halfway through the semi-finals.

Ribbons and his Reborns Gundam might also do quite well, though leaning too much on its Cannon mode might get him disqualified for collateral damage.

Assuming there's anybody left to disqualify after he incinerates the judges.

That is the advantage of holding the competition on Earth whilst the organisers swan around in orbital colonies. Then again, given the sort of power output a twin drive system can muster...

Given the fact that the Reborn's Gundam is more or less shooty rather than hack and slash it would be a different opponent than the regular Gundam Fighter. The only downside is that Trans-Am burns out its drives units.

The I-Justice would actually be a fairly good Gundam to take into the fight, as its Phase-Shift Armor actually would make most of the punches landed on it just bounce off. Plus the sheer number of beam sabers and blades it packs around. Although Athrun might get teased for the color. I'll also throw in the Destiny Gundam itself, as with its Wings of Light and the heavy Anti-Ship sword, it might last a while, zipping around. Plus, you just know Domon and Shinn would throw down with their palm cannons and Shinn would lose.

I would love to see Domon and Shinn going at it.

Yes, the Destiny is another solid choice. The Reborns may be shootier than the average Mobile Fighter, but its Fin Fangs make it dangerous at all ranges. Domon and the God Gundam could take it (see also, his fight against George and the Gundam Rose), but it'd be a challenging fight.

The only downside is that we never saw the Reborn's Gundam use the Fin Fangs while not in Trans-Am, so we're not 100% sure it can use them in its normal mode.

Maybe it can't (though it probably can, given that most suits with similar capabilities don't have that problem), but five minutes is more than enough time to carve up a single enemy suit.

Was playing DWG 3 and I do believe Uso in the Victory 2 Gundam would actually be very difficult opponent for most fighters, even Domon. Not only is it fast as all hell, the wings of light are giant beam swords and shields. If Uso ditched the legs he'd be even faster.

Also I must also give credit to Judau and the ZZ Gundam. The rule about blowing the head off? Kinda hard for Domon to pull off the Shining Finger when Judau can just fire the High Mega Cannon

The ZZ's got some structural problems though, and it comes apart pretty easily. I can imagine that would cause Judau some fairly serious issues in the sort of one on one close combat battles you're describing.

Plus, it's a Mighty Glacier with a UC control system that runs out of power hella fast. Definitely a suit that would get by more thanks to its pilot than to any of its own merits. On the other hand, it coming apart might not necessarily be a bad thing, and whilst Judau isn't as creative with that function as, say, Uso, he's still capable of using it to get the drop on an unsuspecting foe.

Chapter 16 of Peacekeepers.

Things are going to get a bit interesting now.

For the fun of thinking about it, throw Four in the Psyco Gundam into G Gundam. On sheer size and power she'd give Domon at least a big of a problem (if he doesn't have the God Gundam yet).

Until Four accidentally kills a kid while Domon's watching, and then it's time for TAKE THIS, MY LOVE, MY ANGER, AND ALL MY SORROW.

Chapter 17 of Peacekeepers.

Enjoy folks!

[x] Gundam timeline is invaded by the Borg. Discuss?

Already happened.

What about non-00 timelines?

Borg win an easy victory over everyone but Domon/G, who have fought Borg-like thingies and more importantly can BS their way through with courage/passion because they live in that kind of show.

Doesn't Turn A have a massive Superpower Lottery, though?

Pretty sure Cosmic Era might have a decent chance if the Naturals and Coordinators can, as a whole, get their heads out of their asses and pull an Enemy Mine as well.

The Turn A could indeed reduce an attacking cube to Grey Goo, and the UC has the advantage of Newtype magic (it would be interesting to see what kind of havoc the Angel Halo could wreak on the Collective), but the CE wouldn't stand a chance. They're not anywhere near the Federation's tech-level, let alone the Borg's.
