Mobile Suit Gundam: Ex Revue/Gundam

Overview

The RX-78-2 Gundam, or just Gundam, is the titular mobile suit and an icon in every sense of the word. Secretly built on Side 7 and Piloted by the Newtype Amuro Ray, the Gundam would turn the tide of the One Year War. In EX Revue, Gundam is a Shoto, an all-rounder with solid options for every situation. Gundam's biggest enemy during a fight can often wind up not being the other player, but rather the player's inputs. With an annoying amount of overlap between special move inputs, it's very easy to accidentally perform the wrong special in a pinch.

Playstyle

Pros	Cons
Zoning: Gundam has good tools for zoning out opponents with his 236x, 41236x, and large normals. Good Reversal: Gundam's 623x is a great reversal tool allowing him to get out of many situations and also has covers a decent space in front of him.	Overlapping Inputs: Gundam suffers greatly from the EX revue's input reader. moves such as 236x, 41236x, and 623x can all be hard to intentionally get when you want them. Even when inputting it by itself can leave you getting things you aren't intending.

Jumps:	One
Air Throw:	No
Pummel Grab:	No
Defense:	0
