Introduction
The undisputed boss of GBA2. Let's not mince words here: Dark Gundam is overpowered beyond imagination. If you think you've seen enough bullshit in this game, Dark is there to show you the rabbit hole goes deeper. This guy has everything you could possibly want, from permanent hyper armor that makes his attacks impossible to interrupt to extremely powerful unblockables that reach fullscreen. He has moves for any part of the screen, active frames to catch anyone trying to avoid his attacks, tools to deal with Dodge and I-field users, damage to beat the mobile armors in DPS races and just enough mobility to catch your ass trying to escape. There is NO parole with this guy. If you're lucky, he will maul you with his array of unblockables and high damage moves to make your death quick. If you're unlucky, he will wait for you to make the first move, giving you the hope that the match might be winnable, before showing you he has a tool made specifically for the purposes of ending your entire career.
Dark isn't here to play around; he's here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and he ran out of bubblegum when the game was released.
Archetype : Fuck you.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Permanent Hyper Armor : He can do whatever he wants and you have to hold it, and unlike Neue Ziel and Big Zam, he can still block if he wants to
Fullscreen unblockables : It's ok, it's only horizontally fullscreen
Higher damage than you : Yeah, you read that right
Large number of active frames : Half the stuff this guy does is a chore to evade because they're active forever and have very little proper recovery
Adaptove toolbox : It doesn't matter what the situation is, he can deal with it
Large hurtbox : If nothing else, he's at least a big target
No defensive action : Dark can neither Dodge nor I-field, so he can be forced to take heavy chip damage from some Supers
All damage values were tested on characters with 100% damage taken
