Strategy

Don't stop shooting Hangars, carry on with shooting Hangars. You've got 7 shots and 1 assist, both of which take some time to reload. But it's okay because you've got the Hangar, and if you don't then you can have one delivered in like half a second. You'll be using Hangar Fire instead of shooting Boots in most situations. Its fastfall properties as well as Bottom Fighter mode being the superior of its two amputee modes makes it a better choice. Not only that, but Hangar Fire's guard properties could save you from some damage. Boots Fire is more situational, doing more damage and having a higher down value at the expense of not having fastfall and leaving you in the inferior Top Fighter mode. If they're closing in and A->AB will hit them, for example, then do A->BC to fire the Boots instead for the hard KD. Try to only use BC if you know it's safe. After firing either arms or legs call for new pairs ASAP. Your infinite supply of arms and legs to use as improv weaponry is what makes you strong.

Though its BR is now vernier'd and shieldless, Bottom Fighter retains the regular movement of Victory mode and boasts more threatening melee than either of its other modes. Also in spite of having to stop to shoot its rifle, it can shoot 3 times in place and there are times when this can be useful. It also retains Victory mode's 2b jump which is particularly rad at tripping up your targets at close range because of how sudden the motion is (Remember that you control your opponents' camera). The 2b jump is also useful for special movement, allowing you to move away even in overheat. Top Fighter, on the other hand, not only lacks that option but also uses ground-style movement all while lacking the good brake cancels that make most ground units effective and fun to play. Whereas Bottom Fighter loses options in exchange for different ones, Top Fighter simply loses without gain. Stand up to the victory isn't just a song, it's a reminder to keep your legs attached at all times because you can't stand with no legs.

This'll take some work to finish

[altairdooder]

It'll also take some space. Reserved.

[Eriksharp]

This is going to be my 1000 cost main, I love Victory Gundam.

[Setsuna Yuki]

And it's very good if well-used (as it should be). Some replays of it were definetely a good watch !

[allenpergallon]

Looking forward to playing and discussing this unit. It seems to have been translated pretty faithfully from Next+ where it rocked and it has been pretty effective in battle from what I've seen. Just a few days left..

[Mightfo]

Strangely enough, during legless mode he acts like a ground runner, so you can do the C->ground sidestep trick out of boost dashes.

Boots fire seems to move faster to me than hangar fire, but I may be mistaken. It seems that you generally want to use hangar fire since it is nice for fastfall and your movement afterwards is better, despite armless A verniering.

One time, I hit him during plane mode with blue frame's super, and the super didnt finish comboing because he was too small lol

Lol, Hi-Larious! So you're saying that out of limbless play, we should be in legless form more than armless form?!

[Irysa]

Just fire your arms. You need to vernier to fire boots, wheras you don't with your arms. For some reason, V1 also has far better melee without arms than with arms so keep that in mind.

[WisteriaFrame]

Yeah, I noticed that but was a bit confused which mode Mightfo was recommending, lol! Yeah, I prefer being in bottom fighter mode especially when you get a hit confirm you can down the opponent with rapid A! V Gundam has got to be one of my favorite 1K suits! Loved it in Next+, also!

[Mightfo]

Sorry if I was unclear. Again, I was recommending primarily firing hangar, aka arms, instead of legs because its good for fastfalls and there isnt a movement issue.

[WisteriaFrame]

Gotcha and thanks for the advice! Really liking the community, here, especially for a game that's very, very competitive!
