akai_GO Report post Posted May 23, 2014 While this is more terminology than button notation, and I guess most likely best applies just to wiki translations, I'm wondering if it would be a good idea that when we put up the notation/terminology page (we are doing that right?) we also include brief descriptions of what some of the move properties mean? I'm gonna collect a list of terms I see often, like: のけぞり stagger vs regular stagger vs strong stagger 半回転 Down vs 特殊 Down vs Unforced Down vs non-ukemi Down Just to name a few, also recognizing that there are strong and weak stuns and more things. Or is this something that really is considered over-analytical information and not important for including and explaining for playing the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunn.willsworth. Report post Posted June 5, 2014 hello! sorry for a noob question, but i wonder why people calling gundam exvs as 'exvs vanilla'? curious to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azada83 Report post Posted June 5, 2014 hello! sorry for a noob question, but i wonder why people calling gundam exvs as 'exvs vanilla'? curious to know. Vanilla refers to the base game. They say that to let you know they're not talking about Full Boost. At least, that's what it seems like to me. I'm pretty new here lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akai_GO Report post Posted June 5, 2014 Yes, because the PS3 now has both the original EXVS and the Full Boost followup, and because the arcades have the second followup Maxi Boost - all 3 under the EXVS brand - the original is just affectionately called vanilla (like Vanilla WoW. "base flavor" if you will). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunn.willsworth. Report post Posted June 5, 2014 alright, i see there. But i still wonder..why vanilla though? why not chocolate, strawberry, or else? truly sorry if this is too out of topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akai_GO Report post Posted June 5, 2014 Because vanilla is considered the blandest, most basic stage of ice cream flavors - nothing special nothing added :P Again, it's used in a few different game series that span multiple titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azada83 Report post Posted June 13, 2014 I've been seeing the term Funnel thrown around alot too. What does that refer to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Lullaby Report post Posted June 14, 2014 Funnels are those flying things that suits like Nu/Sazabi/Qubeley throw out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HDKirin Report post Posted June 14, 2014 Funnels are those flying things that suits like Nu/Sazabi/Qubeley throw out. To build upon what Cosmic was saying, they're devices that fly out of suits that shoot projectiles. Think of them like moving turrets in mid-air. Most of them only shoot 1 beam at a time in EXVSFB. Here's a good video demonstration Nu Gundam's fin funnels in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZtQ4rw9poU#t=90 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
