Gundam: Battle Assault 2/Tallgeese III

Introduction

The goose is loose. Tallgeese-3 is one of most well rounded suits in BA2, possessing a kit capable of handling almost any situation. Good movement? He's got it along with multiple movement specials and divekicks. Long range normals? His j.WP, j.SP, and WKs are excellent at safely controlling space. Good projectiles? As well as having a high priority 26P, TG3 has the 26K enhanced shot which ignores all other projectiles. Strong mixups? He has multiple IOHs with j.SP and j.WK that convert into good damage along with 624P Beam Saber, the biggest and one of the fastest unblockables in the game. A strong super? The Mega Cannon Max Mode is a frame 7 fullscreen beam, incredible for combos, defense, and punishes. You ask for it, and Tallgeese will deliver. While he can be outclassed by other characters in specific respects, no other character combines it all like he does.

Archetype: All-Rounder

Strengths	Weaknesses
Jack of All Trades: There's no situation TG3 doesn't have an answer for. Good pressure, defense, conversions, movement, he can work in any situation. Air Superiority: TG3 has some of best aerial options in the game; j.2SP and j.WK are divekicks with different timings and angles, j.WP is frame 4 and incredibly plus, and j.SP controls a whole swathe of the screen. Mixup: TG3's mixup game is very strong. He has multiple IOHs between j.SP and j.WK that convert into solid damage. Additionally his unblockable is egregiously large and fast, held back only by it being punishable on hit, a weakness that becomes irrelevant when it causes overheat. Midrange and Long Range: TG3 has a solid assortment of pokes with his kicks and aerial buttons. He also possesses one of the most powerful projectiles in the game with 26K Mega Cannon Plus, a projectile that will completely ignore every other projectile in the game, albeit with a large ammo cost. Furthermore, you can use a variety of air tools for valuable Oki mix-up to keep your opponent on edge.	Master of None: TG3 can be outclassed by more dedicated characters of their archetype on the different aspects of his gameplan. Rose has better normals, Wing has better projectiles, Ball has better movement and mixup, so on. Unusual Pressure and Execution: TG3's strings, block pressure, and conversions are fairly odd compared to the rest of cast. On top of that understanding what tools to use in which situation can be challenging since he often needs to be using a specific answer for specific challenges.

All damage values were tested on characters with 100% damage taken

All block advantage values are calculated at point-blank range and against a standing opponent when possible. Factors such as spacing, number of hits connected with (for multi-hit moves), and the opponent crouching/being airborne can improve block advantage.

* = remove 2 less frames of hitstun when hitting a standing opponent

Chain Table

Fill in the character's chain options, similar to a Guilty Gear wiki Gattling Table. Make sure you get everything. Delete the specials section if the character has no cancelable specials. If a character has a whiff/block cancelable special, add ^[+] after it (i.e. 5WP^[+], 2WP^[+]). If a move is only cancelable on a specific hit, specify it (i.e. 5SP (First Hit Only) or 5SP (Second Hit Only)). Delete this line when it's finished.
