Bolt Gundam. In order to unlock this mobil suit you need to simply beat street mode with Gundam Maxter. Master Gundam. In order to unlock this mobile suit you need to beat Street mode on Hard with God (Burning) Gundam, abd Maxter Gundam. You also need to Beat Street mode on any difficulty with Master Gundam to unlock all of his different modes. ******************************************************************************* Fighting Tips (IV) What you should know about Gundam Maxter. Gundam Maxter uses just his fists and some tiny guns when you command it to. Maxter is a quick not-so-clunky Gundam who can take some damagae and dish it extremely well. If you are ever in a pickle use Machine Gun Punch, as it uses Maxter's fists rapidly on your opponant for (depending on how armored he is) about 1 health bar. I'll break each Mobile Suuit with a difficulty rating. I'm rating these Gundam's on HARD mode, not any other. ***** 5 being the hardest. Ball*- This guy is a joke if you fight him. He is extremely clunky, and has no specialsuper specials. Just jab away or use Machine Gun Punch. He will fall in no time. Acguy**- An extremely fast foe, and this Gundam can be somewhat of a challenge Against Maxter. Just try to keep up with his speed, and use a lot of combos like Twin Magnum or Gigantic Magnum. Altron Gundam***- This Gundam is extremely cheap at times, he can corner you and kill you within seconds. They key is to pretend to be cornerd and then run in or under im using Step Up or multiple Air Jab's, and then GO NUTS with Machine Gun Punch. Big-Zam****- An extremely frustrating battle here. This is pretty cheap , he is hudge. He can just simply kcik you for half of one bar of health. So if he is being cheap, I suggest you try to do the same thing if you want to win against him. Jump BEHIND him and his massive legs, and then use Machine Gun Punch as much as posisble, and make sure your thruster power is at its max when you go and try to get behind him, or else you are screwed and he will do massive damage using his projectile weapons. Bolt Gundam**- This particular mobile suit is pretty fast and he has that damn Beam Sword he uses for some crushing Combos. He seems to block all of the time, and if you can get in while he is not blocking, use some special attacks or just combo with some strong punches you should be fine. Burning Gundam**- An extremely offensive Mobile Suit, who can end you with a few of his combos. You are pretty equally matched in this fight. Go all out here with every combo move you could think of, and you should have no problem beating Burning Gundam. Also, if you defend a ton, it wont do any good. Be offensive here. Dark Gundam*****- Good luck. No but seriously, this battle is just no fair. He blocks every single thing you throw at him, and then once you are done exausting your self he will then unleash everything he has. There is no easy way to beat him, so let me tell you what I do. I use my thrusters so much in this battle my PS1 controller yells at me. USE THEM. And assault him from the air. Use your ownly two Aerial Assaults Mid-Air Jab, and Mid-Air uppercut like they were going out of style. Use your Magnums in the air as much as possible as well, and maybe, just maybe, you can win. Dragon Gundam*- Dragon Gundam is pretty well rounded, but you can own him with extreme ease. All you have to do is use an even combination of Airal assualts and then Machine Gun Punch until you are sick of the Animation you see every time you do it. Easy. Epyon*****- Well, its Zechs. He is an amazing Gundam Pilot, and extremely cheap in this game to fight against. You will pull your hair out on this one. This is SORT of similar to the Tallgeese III, but with the cheapest wepaon in the game, a whip. Long ranged and powerful, you are leaved with only one option. Go crazy with rage, and Aerial attacks, as well as using your Magnum attacks as much as you can. STAY AWAY FROM THE WHIP, he will make short work of you. Use Machine Gun Punch when ever you can. Gundam Deathscythe Hell Custom**- Not that bad, but here is an awesome tip. Please, stay away from his Scythe, as it is his most powerful weapon. He will shortly kill you if you don't. Another note, this guy can teleport and then whack you with his Scythe, you should be aware of this, and try your best to predict his moves. If you can use your thrusters some and then attack with Machine Gun Punch. Gundam Heavyarms Custom***- I find this particular Mobile Suit to be a real pain. He can just use his endless array of bullets to pummel you, but this is what I do. I use my Magnum's and my Aerial attacks. I also find double step to be extremely effective here. While you are using those attacks don't try to be far away, that wouldn't do you any good. Get close to him and pummel him. Gunam RX-78*- A few things here. This battle could be extremely hard for you if you don't stay as far away from it as possible. He is horrible at working the long range. But if you get in close and try to combat him, you will get beaten with his beam saber or his hammer. His hammer isn't much to worry about but his Saber is bad news. You can use Aerial Attacks or get in semi close to him and then once he uses his hammer, he is volunerable. You can then attack him with your Machine Gun Punch for an easy victory. Gundam Sandrock Custom**- Sandrock is pretty powerful. His Earth Slash could EASILY take one bar of health from you, and he is pretty fast. What you can do is watch out and keep your thrusters at full for when he uses his moves, so then you can just go into the air and hang out until he is done. And while he is not using his special attacks you can combat his pretty equally, but use your Burning Punch and your Mid-Air Jab a lot. Gundam Wing Zero Custom***- This is one of the most well rounded Mobile Suits in the game. It can block well, it has extremely well ground and aerial attacks as well as Projectile and Close Range combat moves. Go crazy here and use everything you can throw at him. Use every strategy you can think of. An awesome Aerial Assault, along side with a defensive Magnum attack, and a lot of Mid-Air Jabs work here. Go all out and use every skill Gundam Maxter has to offer. Hydra Gundam*- Ha. This battle against Gundam Maxter is hilarious. There is absolutly NOTHING to fear here, except maybe his projectiles. That is probably the only thing this inferior mobile Suit has against you. You can easily dodge them using your thrusters, or just block them from afar. Get in close and he can't use his projectiles. And at close range this battle is a joke. Go in and use any attacks you want and this battle can be won easily. Hygogg**- This Mobile Suit is fast and tiny. He can deal some extremely damaging blows when they are combos, but stand alone attacks he is pretty weak against. I usually get in close to him and buttom mash. Getting some random combos and special moves down, honestly. Buttom mash and this battle is won. Master Gundam***- This is a hard battle, and you can NOT, I repeat do NOT get underneath this guy. He will kill you within 30 seconds time if you do. Use an Aerial Assault strategy and hack away. Using both your Aerial Attacks and your thrusters, you should be able to defeath Master Gundam. Neue Ziel***- Neue Ziel, has so much health it is unfiar. He has so much he doesn't even care about it. He just goes in and almost suicides it, not blocking at all, and just looking to chop your head off. What you have to do if you plan on even getting a chance to win, is stay far away and use your limited supply of Projectiles and then use an Aerial Assault type strategy. This guy can be a pain, but don't give up you can win if you get lucky and use a lot of projectiles. It IS hard though, because Gundam Maxter isn't designed to have a lot of Projectiles. Nu Gundam****- This guy is hard, and you can only use your Mega Special attack if he is in the air. He will counter it, and just end you. It is extremely hard to fight this guy, and he doesn't even have a Mega Special attack, but his combos are highly damaging. He can end you quickly with his combos or his special attack that he uses that detaches his spikes on his back and then you get pummled. Just try to block those the best you can or else you will die extremely shortly. What you can do is stay far away and use your thrusters for an awesome Aerial Assault and all of your Aieral Attacks. I wouldn't recommend using your Mega Special attack at all unless you know he is stunned or in the air about to come down, as you have to time it extremely well. Pshyco Gundam****************- Well, this Gundam is just freakin crazy. Good luck, and if you have any tips e-mail me. I have yet to beat this guy with any Gundam let alone Gundam Maxter (On Hard Mode). Don't even try. He is a Gundam Yetti and will DESTORY you within seconds. Phsyalis GP-O2A**- Phsyalis is an okay foe, but has some extremely effective projectile attacks. One inparticular is he shoots a seemingly harmless cannon into the air, but it will explode like a firework and rain down on you This is bad, and when it happens you CAN dodge it if you use your full powerd thrusters to go into the air and hang out for a while. BUt notice how I said full power? If you are even one bar below full you will get the full bruntal of the attack. I suggest staying conervative on the Aerial Assualt and just trying heavy Melee attacks. See if you can Button Mash your way through this battle. Quin Mantha***- Quin Mantha I found to be extremely difficult at first. But you can learn from my mistake and use a lot of Projectile attacks and then sneak in a few Mega Special attacks here and there. Quin Mantha has some issues blocking Projectiles and it can't attack you if you keep using Projectiles. Rose Gundam*- No worry here. The only thing you have to be remotly worried about is Rose Gundam's Beam Sword. It has a fencer type sword and handles it pretty well. Other than that, don't worry about this battle. Button Mash or use your Mega Special attack it will be over with soon. Tallgeese III***- Tallgeese has a Whip, which is extremely not fair. Zechs is the pilot, so the Epyon has the same mechanics as this Gundam. Don't try to suicide and attack full frontal. What you need to do is use an Aerial Assault on him and your Projectiles as much as possible. This should be a close battle. Tallgeese's Mega Canon Max Mode, to put it simply will kill you soon. You will DIE if he uses it. Not a 1 hit kill but you get the picture. Zaku II*- There isn't really any threat here with the Zaku, use any tactic you feel you could beat him with. Aerial Assault works best here, or just melee him until he dies. Zaku IIS*- The same thing as the ZakuII, just any tactic will work fine. He should be done with in a short time. Zeong**- Zeong has some crazy Projectile attacks, as well as extendable arms. Fighting Zeong far awar is not your best move, get in tight and parry him with any attack you feel fit. Zeong isn't that hard and should go down with some Mega Special Attacks. ******************************************************************************* Closing/Legal (V) If you feel you can add more to this, I will post it and credit you here for your help, but please remember to be civil.
