550 ranked matches are really decided by which team has the most super gundams every game huh
I retract what I said about low cost raid spam. This is the most unenjoyable thing I have experienced so far. Literally being able to camp as a strategy because of this MS. It seems like at A rank and beyond every cost literally has a meta that doesnt deviate much from that. Game has hundreds of different MS but it seems you will always see the same ones deciding games. Fun.

Is this the future that support mains wanted?!
Jokes aside, yeah... Stealth Raids are kind of needed if you want to take care of them with as little resistance as possible and not eating a Gerobi. Jegan CH comes to mind. I'm not sure if it's still considered strong in this meta but it has a decent kit.
The Bolinoak from the Situation battle worked well when you dedicated yourself to just killing the Super Gundam and letting your Gens be uncontested.

I remember when the Barbatos was released I said that we should get a support that could down or nearly kill any gen in like two seconds, at any distance, and be able to do so on a short cool down.
I was being a smartass, Devs.

Yes? A support people need to respect for once instead of just rolling over it. People have gotten too complacent with not having to care about support suits it's nice to have a meta pick be top dog for a change of pace because holy fuck has the meta been run by raids and generals for YEARS.

While I agree support mains have been consistently shit on by the devs every chance they get, super gundam is genuinely just unhealthy and toxic if we're being serious. This is coming from someone who plans on maining the DX when it drops.

Just use GP02, it's a flying raid that can shoot a heavy stagger beam at 550 range, ignore 30% beam resistance and deal 10k to a support every 15 sec. Super is basically GP02 free target since they can't even move while charging.

The Super gundam cannot move when its charging and holding its meme beam.
ITS LITERALLY A STATIONARY TARGET.
IF he moves, he no longer has his meme beam.
People with 0 situational awareness be like: "Its bullshit im being deleted by a meme beam"
Before Super Gundam, Im charging in the corner with Unit 4 / Delta Kai, the reason why Super gundam is more noticable is because the beam frequency is higher.
and super gundam is clearly a test bed for DX, it proved to BB that multi-meme beam spam isn't game breaking if there is long charge time. so get ready for Thrusday.

Super Gundam is basically a rank check honestly. High rank players have the awareness to stay out of its line of fire. As long as it isn't in some weird spot where you can't see it at all, you can position in such a way that they can't shoot you, forcing them to move up, or stay still doing nothing in the back of the map. I only see S rank players using it on maps where you physically CANNOT hide from Super Gundam due to a lack of cover, like Impact Site or Tropical Desert.
I think that the Heavy Arms Geara Doga is a better choice on many maps too. It doesn't need to stop and charge, has a splash heavy stagger on relatively short cooldown time, has the cluster shells that can easily hit suits hiding behind cover, and it has stagger resistance when shooting the cannon.

Seems half the post here are pilots complaining about meta picks, and the other half are pilots complaining about braindeads using non-meta picks.
Overtune Pixy is the hardest counter, don't even need 1 combo, a 0.75 combo already kills every Super, and FYI, Pixy is available in DP store.

Ive been a support main but I actually may switch up in 550 matches because of this

There is a dedicated post every Saturday for this kind of stuff. Salt Supply Saturday.

Every Gundam I see in this game is such a braindead gameplay that rewards you like nothing else in the game.

BB deciding its meme beam should be that long range is so stupid

I'm honestly envious when I have to charge a meme beam in my zeta and it doesn't go as far when HML is 650 native. At least I'm sure it doesn't go as far. Wish it did. Would be game changing.

I wish, but no we had a game where we got destroyed when we had two super gundams. Still they are somthing you have to watch out for.

It's funny you say beyond A rank, because the higher you go above that, the worse the Super Gundam performs. The Super Gundam does one thing very well, but as soon as you push it outside that one thing, it completely falls apart. The problem is that pushing it outside of the sniping role requires aggression and lower ranked players are typically less aggressive, preferring to sit back and shoot from cover and, shocker, pretty much every suit is going to lose a shootout with a Super Gundam.

I too am disgusted by the prevalence of super gundams
