H.L.M.S. - Strike Gundam Line (Part 2), Strike Noir, Akatsuki & more!

Imagine if Cagalli or Neo/Mu realized that that they could aim the blasters and Mobile Beam turrets towards the Akatsuki to create a Beam Deflection Spam.

[@zethythonix]

That’s a good strategy

I doubted we can use it smoothly TBH.. some of the weapons are very hard to use

[@zainiikhwan9405]

Poor Cagalli, just about to show off her new shiny mecha but got rekt by Shin :(

[@Joshua_N-A]

Orb's entire gold reserve. Need to hide those gold bars from Blue Cosmos' dirty hands. If it's the old Cagalli, she would've hold her own against Shinn for a bit longer. Destiny caused Cagalli voiceless for a decade. Let's just hope Shindo Naomi return for next SEED project.

[@zethythonix]

@@Joshua_N-A Cagalli’s voice actor was protesting about the $h1t script and speaking up for Shinn’s VA, so she got frozen by Fukuda... both Cagalli and Shinn need justice

[@zethythonix]

@Russell MC yes, Shinn was treated unfairly by the writers and Cagalli’s VA spoke about it, but Fukuda’s wife was having a serious illness and Fukuda don’t have the mood to think about the senses and the script became bad. Because he didn’t use enough brain cells to write Shinn’s character, so the audiences hated Shinn and Kira was later returned as the protagonist. It’s still sad that not many people known about this truth and just trash talking Shinn... it’s purely the directors and writers fault...

[@zethythonix]

@Russell MC but we still have a lot of Shinn haters out there... I am not fanboying Shinn but he is pretty real and he could’ve have a better development, missed opportunity

[@zethythonix]

This video is great! I thought I knew everything about the strike line already but I was COMPLETELY wrong

[@zethythonix]

I am happy for you to learn something new about the Strike Line! What did you learn specifically? Tell me more!

[@Vortexiiixii]

Since Akatsuki doesn't need VPS it has more energy, if you think about it.

[@thebox1720]

True at the expense of next to no physical damage defense

[@zethythonix]

Perhaps the weapons got better output, but the armor itself is full of weaknesses that is too easy to expose, once the enemy finds out you can’t defend physical attacks, they will switch to ballistic/physical attacks to kill you. So, between VPS and Yata no Kagami, I will choose VPS on my MS if I am the pilot who custom it.

[@thebox1720]

@@zethythonix altho zeth I would argue that in space. The yata no kagami is much better since most if not all enemies use beam weapons anyway. Couple with the necessity of more power needed for the shiranui. I would think that the Akatsuki, being what it is, is more an elite suit. Mu is probably the ideal pilot for it with his expanded spatial awareness and being formerly a MA pilot much more comfortable at evading attacks (he doesnt need to now anyway).

Strike E is my favourite variant and Strike Rouge's Ootori pack is the best IWSP pack as it promotes both mobility and adequate weaponry.

[@X135E]

excellent progress in generating the GATs. excellent combinations of a single MS.

[@swakage13x]

Well technically the Akatsuki can use the strike Striker packs just not the shoulder-mounted weaponry but it can still use the backpack mounted stuff like the aile striker the sword mounting system for the sword same with the Canon for the launcher strike, and that's okay

[@pegatar]

Nice. I didnt notice how similar some of the features Akatsuki had to the strike until this video. Thanks for the info!

[@zethythonix]

Akatsuki is a bit questionable because Fukuda basically made it up, imagining designing a Striker that Cagalli can’t use, Cagalli don’t have high spatial awareness so why would Uzumi designed something his daughter can’t use?

For my favorite, I will choose Strike Noir, because it got tactical cool moves and the color scheme is so cool! I would love to use that color scheme on my future car one day XD For realistic choice, if I am a pilot, I will choose Lightning Strike Gundam, because no matter what game or what sports I am playing, I found myself to be better when I am a support character.
