About Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs.(New Updated)

Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. (機動戦士ガンダム エクストリームバーサス?) is a 3D Arcade Fighting game and the newest in the series of Gundam VS video game series developed and published by Namco Bandai Games. It's the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam NEXT. The game was first unveiled at the AOU 2010 and confirmed to be released on September 28, 2010. The game was later released on the PlayStation 3 in December 1, 2011, featuring balance tweaks.
The game's theme song is titled "The Catalyst", performed by Linkin Park. Bandai and the band also cooperated in the development of a special HGUC 1/144 RX-78GP-01-FB kit.
A sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Full Boost (機動戦士ガンダムエクストリームバーサスフルブースト) was announced on November 28, 2011 for release in arcades in 2012. The theme song for Full Boost is titled FIGHT IT OUT feat. K(Pay money To my Pain), performed by both Akihiro Namba ofHi-Standard and Takeshi Ueda of AA=.

System Changes
All the features from the previous title remain, including all player-usable units. The Cost Gauge is once again 6000, similar to the GvG series (Initially 1000, similar to SEED VS series) and Currently there are 4 tiers of unit costs: 3000, 2500, 2000, 1000. Cost Over returns from GvG despite its initial absence in the first few location tests. Awakening returns in the form of Extreme Burst and assists have been removed. However, some units have an assist type attack, but not all units have this. The NEXT Dash also returns from GvGN, it is now part of the Extreme Actions that you can perform. All units now can shield guard and Transforming is now a bit faster. Projectile speed had been increased and Overall boost durations have been decreased. (Or rather, you eat up boost much faster. Units can only perform up to 4 cancels now.) Landing works the same as GvGN, however, if you land without any boost left, the boost gauge will display overheat and you will be stuck on the ground for a longer duration of time. Currently, the delay is around 1.7x~.

Gameplay Changes
The game now includes newer gameplay mechanics derived from its predecessor. The new "system" in EXVS, called Extreme Action is implemented, in which you can cancel your actions with a BD input. (aka NEXT Dash) You can cancel out of melee attacks with a step, jump or even a shield guard and Step Cancels returns from the SEED VS series. While Step Cancel returns, its functionality has been reduced. Essentially, Extreme Action is a Nerfed ND + Nerfed Step Can. SPEED parts are also awakened.
The game also implements the newer Extreme Burst (EX Burst) function, when activated via abc when the gauge is over half full. The awakening process is similar to AvZ2. Different units have different effects while in EX Burst and when EX Burst is activated, the unit's boost and weapon ammo are all recovered. During EX Burst, the unit will receive roughly a 1.8x attack buff, a 0.5x defense buff and some units have a special attack during EX Burst, which can be accessed if you press abc again during EX Burst.



Gameplay

Extreme Vs. retains the trademark gameplay of previous installments of the Gundam Vs. series, with a few adjustments and changes. During a standard arcade battle, each team is given a resource meter of 6000 points; when a mobile suit is shot down, its cost is deducted from the meter, and the first team to hit 0 loses. Each mobile suit costs 3000, 2500, 2000, or 1000 points, with higher cost machines being more powerful while cheaper machines are much weaker. A few missions, particularly boss battles, eschew this in favor of making a single machine the target and having its defeat be the goal of the stage (the player's side still has a resource meter and will lose as normal if it's depleted).
Gamplay makes use of four primary buttons: Shoot, Melee, Jump, and Search. There are also three sub-commands used by pressing Shoot and Melee (Sub-Weapon), Shoot and Jump (Special Shooting) and Melee and Jump (Special Melee). In addition to these, machines can have two different charge attacks, activated by holding the Shoot or Melee button until a meter on the ammunition display fills.
Extreme Vs. adds in two important gameplay changes. Extreme Action is the ability to dash-cancel one's attacks, allowing the player to string together larger and more damaging combos. Extreme Burst is a super mode, similar to older games' Awakenings, activated by pressing Shoot, Melee, and Jump together when a meter at the bottom of the screen is filled. Several machines (primarily those piloted by the protagonists of each series) also have a super-powerful Burst Attack, executed by pressing Shoot, Melee, and Jump together while Extreme Burst is active. Full Boost will give Burst Attacks to every mobile suit in the game.
The PlayStation 3 release adds Trial Mission Mode, which features a series of specific challenges that go outside the normal conditions of the game, such as destroying a set number of machines within a time limit or sinking a battleship such as the Argama or Archangel. Trial Mission Mode features a number of enemy-exclusive mobile suits from all the included series, as well as a number of new boss characters.
