I'm a fan of GBF series, i liked the gacha and relink so i bought this game and damn it's amazing has great art the roaster is good and it has a lot of passion in it but the combat is the worst part of the game for me.

I've been playing with Sandalphon and i really like the character it does everything and is a really neautral heavy character and has a lot of tools to use against other players.

I was loving this game but i found something, Sandalphon sucks and the combat does in general, it doesn't matter how good you are at footsies if the enemy lands one hit you are dead (almost), Sandalphon has tight windows to do his combos and they do like 60% of health which is a lot, but other characters like Versusia or Zeta can do more damage with easier combos and easier execution like Versusia has incredible zoning and can teleport, and Zeta is Sandalphon but better, she can spam a lot of lasers and she can attack then dash she has low risk high reward

I feel the game is poorly balanced, the most brainless characters are the ones that do more damage and need to take lower risks while others need to risk a lot.

Honestly this hasn't been much of a problem because people is very bad at footsies in this game they just memorise combos but here is the thing i'm bad at executing combos

So yeah, i don't know if Sandalphon is just worse or is there something i'm missing?

I’ve been watching Gundam from the first series and just finished Zeta, i wasn't a huge fan of it, and I’ve read that ZZ feels more like a direct sequel to Zeta rather than a series that moves the plot since Amuro and Char don't appear

​I’ve already seen Unicorn, Hathaway, and The Origin (i basically watched whatever looked cool at the time) i heard that ZZ provides context for Unicorn, maybe about Mineva, however in the Hathaway movie, it feels as if the events of Unicorn never happened

​ I saw a lot of mixed reviews of ZZ, I’m thinking about skipping it, but I’m still not sure

He has a lot of options and attacks but he barely does anything

He has great anti air lots of projectiles and a cool stance that unlock more attacks but each one of them are mediocre and easy to dodge or block

You need to be super precise because much of his attacks leave you open and you need to do to put so much effort in neutral and combos that does barely the same if not less damage that other easy characters like lancelot or charlotta

overall this character has all, he can do a lot of thing but excells at nothing, i've been playing him because i like it's design but i don't see why play him over other characters
