Just tell her to go out there and have fun. Doesn't matter if she wins or loses here. Really this her first tournament, there's no need to be 'your going lose' or 'your going to have a hard fight.'

Wish her luck. Sure, red Zaku's tend to be fast as hell (though I'd assume there are a few out there that play against type just to trip people up), but so is the Super Ball. Just go in there, battle as best you can, and have fun. It's probably not going to be some unstoppable super unit.

Speaking of unstoppable super units, did anyone catch the stream of Unicorn Episode 7 that was posted on /m/? Jesus, that final power up. I really hope the Unicorn in the school club that we'll someday have to face doesn't have all those psychoframe tricks. I really hope so.

"You want to be careful around this one." You warn rather vaguely. "Char clones are almost never good news."

"Yeah, yeah, I've seen all the replays of them." Holly rolls her eyes. "It'll be fine."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the match is about the start." The referee announces. "I would like to ask non-participants to please back away from the battle table."

You catch the stinkeye from the referee and quickly comply with his orders, stepping back to put space between yourself and Holly.

BEGINNING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL

FIELD: COLONY

The field materializes, generating one of those large, iconic cylindrical colony structures. Both the Zaku and Holly's Ball are deployed on the exterior, in the vacuum of space. Immediately, Holly's Ball jets off into space away from the colony and starts spitting beam rifle fire at the Zaku. Good call.. The Ball had the advantage in open space.

However, the Zaku pilot, as you suspected, didn't seem to care. It's own boosters flared as it launched into space after the Ball, responding with a torrent of automatic fire from its machine gun. While Holly was doing a good job of dodging the shots, all the extra movement was hurting her accuracy, too. However, she was still doing a decent job of keeping one step ahead of the Zaku, but only barely. It was starting to become clear that the other fighter was way more experienced than Holly, and could accurately predict her moves, responding in a way where it could gain some ground. Every turn and quick change of direction, and the Zaku edged ever closer.

"THE 3v3 FINALS WILL BEGIN IN TEN MINUTES. ALL FINALISTS ARE TO REPORT TO TABLE SIXTEEN." You hear the intercom buzz.

Crap.

>>32169747
Panzerfausts mean nothing. The Unicorn can tank colony lasers now. And it doesn't even need weapons, it just disintegrates its targets with a wave of its hand. Plus the NT-D has expanded to the point it can control any machine, not just funnels. Straight up shuts down an entire fleet. It's ridiculous. And all Full Frontal gets to take it on with is a bunch of beam cannon arms and an (admittedly totally badass) disruption field that causes E-Caps to detonate.

>>32169789

Holly will understand. Wish her luck and then be on our way. As for the possibility of Charlotte...well, it's not like we'd have time to catch up with her anyway. We can watch a replay of the match later if we want to analyze her style and compare it to the footage online.

>You better get going. You don't want to risk getting disqualified.

Should mess it up even a bit though. And I'm recommending it since a Mobile Suit can carry three without taking a space so it will add more firepower for the Ball

Hey, come back! The Windam's okay. Just because it's from a terrible series doesn't mean we can't like it. It's a pretty cool design. And considering that we never see the Windam get a single kill on-screen it would fit our "giving under-appreciated grunt units some love" schtick, too.

also exploding throwing knifes!

How about we, if we do end up upgrading for a mid-season deal, pick a Gunpla that's meant to symbolize what we and our team stand for in Gunpla Battle? Fun, enjoyment of Gundam and what that entails, and so on.

We go old-school. We go RX-78-2. Maybe Forever Gundam, or Nu Gundam with the funnels stripped off to make it look more like RX-78-2 while still retaining the Psychoframe. Plus, it plays nicely into the destined rivalry schtick.

Well, Zeta was called "a machine that channels the power of the soul" or something to that effect by Kamille, just before the Biosensor went into overrage mode. That could work.

Damn, and you really wanted to stay and see the fight, too. However, you didn't really want to risk getting your team disqualified over some petty personal matters. You silently slip away from the battle. Holly would understand.

"Ah, I see you're here." Karen nods as you arrive.

"Did I miss anything?" You ask.

"Not much. Looks like our fellow opponents haven't quite arrived yet."

"You know, guys, I think we should try using some of this time to plan." Amy points out.

Hm, she was right. Unlike your previous opponents, you knew exactly what Lucina, Mac, and Jake's Gunpla were capable of. But, the problem was they also knew what your Gunpla were capable of as well.

"Let's see, we did have several plans lined up, didn't we?" Karen asks.

"We'll stick close to Mac and Lucina. Jake's TUSKER has a lot of firepower, but he doesn't really have any precision weaponry. I doubt he'd be crazy enough to risk hurting his own teammates."

"I was thinking that, too." Karen nods. "You'll have to be doubly careful, then. Your suit isn't equipped to handle close combat as ours are, and if you stray too far from the battle..."

"...I'll make myself a target. Yeah, I know." You nod. "I understand the risks."

You then see your opponents and friends arrive, with drinks and food. Damn, you should have thought of that. Maybe after you win this.

"Hey man, good luck." Mac says.

"I look forward to this battle." Lucina says politely.

"Same." You grin.

"Okay, now that all fighters are present, we will be beginning the 3v3 Finals!" The referee announces. "Fighters, place your GP Bases and gunpla!"

The six of you set down your GP Bases and gunpla on the table, and it hums to life.

BEGINNING PLAVSKY PARTICLE DISPERSAL

FIELD: FOREST

The moment the field materializes, you, Karen, and Amy jet forward, weaving back and forth through the trees. You were pretty lucky to get this field, since the trees would hide your position and make it harder for Jake to spot you. However, that didn't mean you still couldn't be taken out by a lucky shot.

"We should spread out to minimize damage in case they try to shell us." Karen says. "We can't afford to have the entire team taken out by a lucky shell."

"But, won't that make us more vulnerable to Mac and Lucina?" Amy says worriedly.

Have Amy do the gun-launch trick with one of our Balls, loft it high up so we can use it as a spotter. Move immediately afterwards, though, so they can't trace it's launch point back to us. Once scope out the terrain we can decide on tactics more effectively.

This is basic infantry tactics here.

It's called not staying in grenade formation. Yous spread out enough to where one shot won't kill everyone but close enough to support.

>>32170764
No, its the same as getting the ball killed.

It's like shooting clay pigeons with a shotgun

>>32170729
I'll second this.
We'll need to all change direction immediately though to avoid them firing on our position.

>>32170824
>>32170729

>>32170674
>>32170722
Do this, we have enhanced senors so we can detect Mac or Lucina when their close

>>32170729

Pls no

>>32170845
I just wonder how effective it is inside a forest though. Wouldn't it get a lot interference or what not.

>>32170828
Didn't you hear about if any of our units stray off their easy pickings for the Guntank?

Also we're in a forest area so no matter how high the Ball is, it won't work.

Also we have enhanced senors so staying in a loose formation while using the sensor to detect an ambush or attack will be better

>>32170877
It should work in the forest, why wouldn't it thats the reason we have it to pick up threats in a increased range.

Only reason I don't see it working if the Mobile Suits the other team is using is using some sort of Chaff or Polasky Particles to disturb the sensors.

>>32170877
Depends on the kind of sensors and the computer equipment that's modeled on the...model.

Low level ground to ground or ground to air search radar have been notoriously prone to "clutter," from reflected rays bouncing off of..everything.

But this is the ~future~, so I don't know how this applies.

Additionally, could be a broad band of equipment. Thermal wouldn't penetrate that deep, and neither would ultrasound, but infrasonic might.

I don't know how the TUSKER rolls, but I feel pretty confident in saying there's a probably a ton of sub 10-hertz frequencies coming off of it, and those things TRAVEL.

We're talking like several miles worth of distance given sufficient power (which seems reasonable...it's a big boy).

tl;dr: Maybe?

Rolled 15, 16 = 31

>>32170674
"We should spread out." You say. "Seems to be the safer option."

"Agreed." Karen says. "Put some distance between each other, but try and maintain visual contact if at all possible. I don't want us getting separated.

Karen and Amy move forward a bit while you fall behind a little. While the forest was great cover, it also meant you couldn't see very well, either. You try pinging your radar a couple of times, but the ground clutter is just too great. You'd have to get up above the trees to effectively use it, but that was a HUGE risk.

For no particular reason whatsoever, you crane your head up into the sky, and you see something... odd. You activate your image enhancer to zoom in and your eyes widen when your realize what those are.

Rockets. Lots of them.

You guess that with no clear target, Jake just took the logical conclusion and decided to just blanket the entire damn area in ordnance.

"ROCKETS INCOMING!" You yell.

"I see them!" Karen says.

"That is a LOT." Amy whimpers.

You quickly go through your options. You can try to boost above the trees to make it easier to dodge or intercept the incoming rockets, but that would be exactly what Jake wanted, to flush you out of cover. On the other hand, rockets were unguided and not very precise. If you hunker down, you might be able to weather it out.

So did we block the shots or did the shots completely miss us by our outline?

You know, I don't get it. I mean, I DO get the grunt love, because come on, a lot of grunt designs in Gundam are sexy, but I don't get the whole grunt dick-riding.

Once we beat the pants off of those Optimized Build Gunpla Club faggots, I'd like to see us expand beyond using Grunt suits. Don't get me wrong, I wanna get as much mileage out of the GM Juggler because it is effectively our Fenice, but we gotta switch things up now and then.

>>32171386
Rockets land all around as explosions and shrapnel cause your entire gunpla to shudder. The rocket barrage couldn't have lasted more than a few seconds, but it felt like hours. Finally, the explosions begin to whittle away until finally, the entire field is silent once again. You have your gunpla stand up and you perform a quick system diagnostic. And... you're completely fine. Sure, your armor was scorched and singed and riddled with countless pits and dents from shrapnel, but it was otherwise cosmetic damage.

"Karen, Amy, you guys all right?" You ask.

"Y-yeah." Amy stammers, still a bit shaken from the artillery barrage. "Just minor hull damage."

"I'm afraid my Overflag didn't fare quite as well." Karen sighs. While her gunpla looked fine, you noticed the movements were slightly erratic and jerky. "I think some of my joints were damaged in that barrage."

That was unfortunate, but there was nothing you could do about it now. However, you did have something to take from this. When you looked up, you managed to see the arc the rockets were taking, so you now had a rough idea of where Jake was. Even if he did reposition, there was little chance he'd be able to move far in a big heavy gunpla like his unless he went into Breacher mode.

I'm good with whatever. But honestly, I really hope that we do a fair bit of kitbashing and stuff. Using base chassis with modifications here and there is probably the surest and safest way to go, but it's not often that we get a chance to experiment with a wide range of model kits. It'd almost be a shame to not stretch the limits of Gunpla and see what wondrous and/or terrible creations that could be wrought.

>>32171505
Gundams are boring and played out. It's a lazy and uncreative 'upgrade' to go to.

>>32171622
Not the same Anon, but some people have been clamoring for some type of Gundam.

Personally, I wouldn't want to 'upgrade' into one.

>>32171538
>>Move to Jake's position. Mac and Lucina will for sure come to engage you.

>>32171505
I agree on gotta switch things up now and then... but IMO grunts suit provide more challenge for us to optimize them. Renato Brothers and Meijin basically use grunt suits and they come quite far.
If we want to use Gundam, i vouch for OYW era gundam or RX-78.

>>32171656
Agreed. Everyone's got a Gundam. Let's go with a Mecha of the Week, instead. There are plenty of cool weird designs throughout the Gundam franchise to play around with.

>>32171622
I know, but what other non-grunt suits are there for us to get? The only things coming to mind or suits that use funnels like the Qubeley, or Mobile Armors.

>>32171572
I never said anything about Gundams, genius. But seriously? You don't want to use Gundams because they're mainstream? Because they're "not creative" as an upgrade?

Dude, we're a kid with imagination and creativity out the wazoo. We could take ANY sort of Mobile Suit, Grunt, Limited Production MS, Gundam, or otherwise, and make it ten times as awesome simply by virtue of having poured our heart and soul into building it.

What the Mobile Suit is isn't what matters; it's what we make it INTO, and what we do with it that does.

>>32171728
Why not zeta plus or... Delta Plus?
Using Zeta will get our brain fried when we use it to ram enemy.

>>32171538
"Heh, Jake just revealed his position. If we head for him now, we can probably catch him. Best case, we get him alone and unsupported and we can take him out. Worst case, Mac and Lucina are forced to engage us to protect him."

"That's a good plan." Karen says. "But time is a factor, too. That MLRS has an exceedingly long range, and I doubt we can cover that distance quickly on foot."

"We can try boosting there?" Amy suggests.

We can boost while staying low to the ground. Most mobile suits are capable of limited hoverskating. We'll do NOE flight to the Tusker.

>>32171781
>It's too risky We stick to the forest and proceed on foot.

Much as I'd like to catch him off-guard, if we boost the others will probably spot us.

>>32171781
>It's too risky We stick to the forest and proceed on foot.

What happens if Jake relocated due to his Tusker's speed?

>>32171881

The Aashimar? Yeah, that's a pretty cool one. Most Titans suits have some pretty good style. Even the Baund Doc, stupid-looking as it is, has a certain charm to it. It's like a funny killer wallaby, you can't help but love it.

>>32171922

Seems nice too.

You try to duck and cover again, and for the most part, it works. However, near the end of the barrage, your shield takes a direct rocket hit, shattering your protective barrier like glass. The shockwave knocks you on your back, though your Balls sort of cushion your fall. You test your hand controls, and fortunately, it still seems to function fine. You toss away the melted remains of your shield.

"Jack, are you okay?" Karen asks.

"Yeah, I just lost my shield." You sigh.

"We must be close, judging from the angle of those rockets." Karen says. "Let's keep moving."

You trudge through the forest for another minute or so and finally your radar seems to be picking something up. Something big and metallic, but with all the ground clutter, you can't accurately judge its exact position. Only that it's close.

"I think I got a location on Jake." You say.

"Well, it looks like it's time to kick the hornet's nest." You say, detaching your Balls. They both hover in the air for a second as you give them instructions. One Ball goes left while the other goes right before breaking the treeline and heading straight for Jake's position, their autocannons and beam rifles firing at will.

Suddenly, there's a flash as Lucina's Exia leaps out of trees and slashes one of your Balls in half.

"There she is!" You say.

Meanwhile, your other Ball continues on towards Jake. You can hear the booming of heavy artillery cannons, but you made sure to instruct to Ball to stay as low to the ground as possible.

Now, the most pressing matter was how to deal with Lucina.

Just out of curiosity, did any of those shots actually hit?

>>32172461
You let Karen and Amy go off to tangle with Lucina. They're better suited for that sort of fight, anyways. What really got you worried was that Mac didn't show himself. He could be sitting back in reserve, either to protect Jake or try and ambush Karen or Amy. Well, you weren't going to let that happen.

A quick status check of your Ball shows that it's still active and dodging cannon fire. However, it still can't get a clean fix on Jake's position, but it's narrowing it down.

What you need to do, though, is find Mac.

Trying to draw him out might draw Jakes attention which we don't want.

And searching for him might put us out of position to help the other two.

>>32172881
>>Try to draw him out.

>>32172881

>>32172914
Jake's too busy fighting our Ball, if he shifts his attention away, His guntank will be riddled with Autocannon and Beam Rifle blasts

>>32172968
He could very well take a moment of time to dispense some indiscriminate justice on our spot. I imagine he could take at least one or two shots before having to go back the smacking that ball around. And I prefer not to eat any of those shells.

>>32172986
He could probably tank the autocannon fire, but the beam rifle(s) are serious business.

Doesn't wanna be getting shot at by those for longer than he has to be.

>>32172986
During that time it will get hit with the beam cannon or autocannon, also he doesn't know where we are. So any indiscriminate bombardment (If he has any missiles left) will be very inaccurate

>>32173015
The 'draw him out' option would be a giant shoot me here sign.

>>32173000
Are the beam rifles really one shot one kill? That much damage from one?

>>32173015
How tough is a guntank thingy any way? Like would a few seconds of autocannon + beam fire be enough to slag it?

>>32173022
Depends on what drawing him out will be, I just hope we can just use our rifle to hit the Guntank to draw him.

also refer to this

>>32173000
It will be even worse if we hit the ammunition storage or something as well.

>>32173035
It's not a one hit quit, but they do a significant amount of damage, even if they're mitigated against (like with an anti-beam coating).

They're made to be big gundam fuck yous.

>>32173035
No but they'll cut through his armor like paper.

>>32173035
Pretty much this>>32173055

>>32173043
Well the guntank can probably shrug off the Autocannon blast for a good while but the Beam Cannon can ignore any armor the guntank has and a direct hit will be very bad.

>>32172881
You might as well try to draw Mac out. If he doesn't do anything, his team is basically going to get ripped apart. A quick check on Karen and Amy shows that they're still holding up against Lucina. However, it's clear that the damage Karen's Overflag suffered earlier is impacting her fighting ability, and Amy simply can't match Lucina in a straight up melee fight. Lucina meanwhile has both her GN Blade and beamsaber out in each arm, wildly blocking and parrying the flurry of attacks her two opponents were throwing her way.

Meanwhile, you break the treeline and start shooting beam rifle fire at where you think Jake is.

You see puffs of smoke in the air and suspect that Jake has some kind of airborne frag round for situations like this.
