Are YOU a Winger? Are you afraid you're going to be one?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Animes : One Thread

You're a Winger if: 1. You think Wing Zero Custom can destroy any Gundam ever easily.

2. You think that every other Gundam series besides Wing sucks, and you haven't seen any others.

3. You think that the Gundams in Wing are balanced.

These are just a few ways to tell if you're a Winger. For treatment: Never watch Cartoon Network for Gundam again. Buy the Gundam Zeta DVDs, the Gundam X DVDs, original DVDs, and V DVDs. Watch them all. You are now officially a true Gundam fan. To find out if you are a G'er, replace Wing Zero Custom in reason number one with God Gundam, Wing to G in the second reason, and change number three to "You think that God Gundam and Domon are the best ever in any Gundam series." Use this handy guide to minimize insults given by Gundam veterans! :)

"Gundam Wing" is the only gundam series that seems any good.

In other words, you're a Winger.

Zero Custom looks good, but im positive any of SEEDS gundam can Pwn it..... ah... who cares... Gundam is too lame. All the series are the same... All the gundams are about basically about a dark haired Prodigy that fight a blonda, mask wearing freak.... with a few exceptions...

Gundam X, Turn A Gundam, and Gundam SEED are the only ones i liked.

wing custom is one of the most powerful gundams ever designed - exacmple is its beam cannon. but this cant be compared cos its an alternate dimension storyline, and series like gundam x (part of the original story) is supposed to be the most powerful gundam of the time, but it has nothng on wing zero - so i dont think its fair to compare the 2 cos of the hugely different standards.

at least gundam x has fairer mobile suit battles (hardly any mobile suits can fly in it)

Not true;

You can compare any type of Gundam to another, due to the fact that they all use the same kind of base design, with improvements and drawbacks added onto it.

Furthermore, the Double X remains the second strongest Gundam ever designed. The strongest overall is the Devil Gundam, and third is Wing Zero Custom due to it's overall cheapness. The only reason why the Double X is superior is due to the Satellite Cannon, which is like two Buster Rifles. And who can resist a Gundam who's Wings form an X and turn gold? :)

if i remember correctly, gundam x's satellite cannon can only be used at night, and is nowhere near powerful enough to destroy a colony in one shot - in fact 10 were needed, piloted by 1 new type. it is also heavily dependant on the fact that its satellite on the moon is not destroyed (which at one point it is) and unlike the gundam, it runs out of general ammo fairly quickly (its rifle for example). also, when wing zero uses its buster cannon when its together, its more than twice as powerful than when its apart (cos apart is used for spread attacks - so it lacks the same amount of power)

and u CANT compare different universes as they have different rules for the mobile suits. the gundam wing ones are absurdly powerful in comparison - just one example of this is that almost all mobile suits can fly, or can at least hover, when in the original gundam storyline its really rare to find mobile suits that can fly.

also, x has a plausable idea for its power source for its cannon, but wing zero can pretty much use its buster rifle infinitely with no problem - what the hell does it have, a fusion reactor?! i think wing zero is great, dont get me wrong, but its much more unrealistic, which it can do cos the only thing it has in the common with the gundam series is the name given to the robots.

also, how r u supposed to compare shining gundam against e.g. wing zero for long distance attacks. hell, they dont even have the same cockpits, and the whole point of the gundam is completely different - in g gundam its a competition, where as in wing its a symbol of peace and in the original storyline its the most powerful weapon designed to conclude the war.

different storyline, different dimensions, different rules. if they dont go by the same rules, its not a fair comparison.

and also, u make it sound as if liking wing is a bad thing. for many people it was an intro to the series, and then they go on to see other gundam series, so u cant hold that against them.

I am quite aware that the satellite cannon can only be used at night, and only when the moon is visible. However, you are talking about the GX, while I'm refering to the Double X. The GXX is primarly used in space, and the moon is almost always visible. Although the GX cannot take down a colony, the GXX can, due to the fact that you saw the GXX fire it's Cannon straight into the Satellite Cannon that the colonies were going to use against the Earth.

You can still compare different MS's from different universes. Just because they vary in power does not mean you can't compare them, comparing the original to one of Wing's overpowered Gundams would just say that the RX-78-2 is inferior.

But yes, you can also compare G and Wing's Gundams in any category. Just because most of G's MS's don't have any ranged attacks doesn't mean you can't compare it to one that does. the point of the Gundam is irrelevent, we're comparing the suit's abilities regardless of what it was designed for. The Mobile Fighter's cockpits can be explained as an improvement on the regular cockpit which improves speed and overall agility.

Although it isn't a fair comparison, a comparison can still be made.

And no, I don't make Wing sound bad, I make it sound mediocre compared to other sagas. I, for one, and sick and tired of Wingers who have not seen any other saga besides any that's played on Cartoon Network, and immediatly assume that Zeta, Victory, or X sucks without any experience whatsoever. That's the sign of a true Winger. Wingers are idiots, because their ignorant opinions do nothing but make themselves look like idiots.

yeah, what i meant was a fair comparison couldnt be made. i guess what ur sayin is right, but gx really isnt as powerful in my opinion - either that or garrod does such a shit job piloting it that it makes the gundam look that much worse.

i reckon the best comparison u can get is from the sd gundam g generation games, since they incorporate all the gundam series to date and give the gundam's stats which are relative to all, not just those in a specific series. even in these games the wing gundam's are more powerful than gundam x (and most other general gundams aswell). gundam x also lacks decent map attacks.

pheonix gundam is the best!
