Mobile Suit Gundam: Ex Revue/Guncannon

Overview

Overview

Guncannon is the second mobile suit developed for the Earth Federation's V Project, which led to the creation of the Gundam, Guncannon and Guntank. Guncannon was one of the mobile suits aboard White Base during the one year war, piloted by Kai Shiden. In EX Revue, Guncannon is a zoner that takes inspiration from Street fighter's Sagat, best seen with the Guncannon's low and high fireballs.

Playstyle

Pros	Cons
High Damage: Guncannon has some of the most damaging attacks in the entire game Great Grab Game: Guncannon gets a metric ton of reward off most throws thanks to an unblockable follow-up Hide Bomb. Great Counter Zoning: Because Low Grand Cannon leaves Guncannon in a crouching state, it allows Guncannon to duck under fireballs he would otherwise have to respect which makes working around fireballs easy. Unblockable Setups: Guncannon has access to an unblockable off of any 2B or Grab using 2369x.	Bad at Mid Range: Guncannon is strong up close or far away but if Guncannon has to play outside of jab range he has to commit to some risky buttons to do much. Awkward Air-to-Airs: Guncannon’s only good air-to-air buttons are next to useless against opponents above it. This can be mitigated by trying to answer air approaches with grounded options but this still comes up annoyingly often.

Normals

5A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 9 Mid - - - - - Yes A quick jab. Good disjoint, combos into itself, decent anti-air. Very solid button.

5B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 19 Mid - - - - - Yes A pretty slow button with relatively bad boxes but great in combos.

cl.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 17+15 Mid - - - - - Yes A 2-hit lariat that launches on the second hit. It's not the best but you could use it as an anti-air. Mostly just used as a meaty.

f.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 27 Mid - - - - - No The first hitbox serves as one of Guncannon's better anti-airs if timed properly, but more often than not players make more use the second hurtbox because of the good disjoint and strong empty cancels.

2A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 9 Mid - - - - - Yes Similar situation as 5a, but much less useful as an anti-air due to how low to the ground it is.

2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 22 Low - - - - - Yes A nice, solid sweep. Can low profile some fireballs and standing buttons.

cl.2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 27 Mid - - - - - Yes Crazy active attack that knocks down. While it may be a proximity normal, it can be used as a strong anti air against opponents who are sticking to you with jump ins thanks to it's vertical disjoint.

f.2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 27 Mid - - - - - Yes A slightly slower version of 5c that hits crouching opponents.

Jumping Normals

j.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 12 High - - - - - - A decent air-to-air, not fantastic especially by the standards set by other members of the cast, but it gets the job done.

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 17 High - - - - - - Good air-to-ground attack, but other buttons do the job better.

j.2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 22 High - - - - - - Guncannon crouches in midair to land on you. Great crossup, good hitbox, and if it hits close enough to the ground it becomes unblockable.

j.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 24 High - - - - - - Great jump-in button, fairly ok as an air-to-air but that's far from it's best use.

Specials

Grand Cannon 236x

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel A version 17 Low - - - - - - Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel B version 19 Low - - - - - - Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel C version 22 Low - - - - - - Guncannon crouches down and fires a low hitting fireball at a different speed depending on the strength of the button used for the attack. This attack can low profile most fireballs and a very large number of attacks, but takes a long time to whiff, so be careful throwing this out without care in neutral.

Grand Cannon 214x

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel A version 17 Mid - - - - - - Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel B version 19 Mid - - - - - - Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel C version 22 Mid - - - - - - Guncannon shoots a fireball that can be ducked but recovers much faster than it's low counterpart. Just like 236x, the button used changes the speed which the fireball travels at.

Grand Bomb 2369x

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel 32 Low - - - - - - Guncannon leaps into the air above where the opponent was when the attack began and shoots a fireball at the ground that explodes with 7 hitboxes when it reaches the ground, hitting low and crossing up outside of the corner. While this move does bully anyone who doesn't understand how it works, its very easy for an opponent to either dodge and punish or jump up and swat Guncannon out of the air. Safe on block outside of the corner. One important thing to note is that when this attack hits meaty before the opponent turns around to face Guncannon it becomes unblockable.

623x

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel A version 14+12 Mid - - - - - - Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel B version 17+15 Mid - - - - - - Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Special Cancel C version 19+17 Mid - - - - - - Guncannon leaps into the air with an elbow strike, travelling more or less horizontally based on the button used for the attack. Only the second hit knocks down, which can be a major problem in combos as this attack is prone to only getting one hit if the distance between players is too far. This is Guncannon's reversal.
