depends on the situation. This is where it's important to pay attention to the warning indicators. Yellow means someone has locked on to you and red means an attack is incoming. If your opponent's partner is not looking at you, then sure, go for the high damage combos. However, good players will try to cut you when their partner is in danger (cutting means interrupting a player's melee combo). There's also your partner to consider. Where's he on the map? Is he getting attacked? Can he back you up if you get cut?

Does anyone have an tips on how to play Epyon effectively?

I picked this up over the weekend and downloaded the update but when I go to the game the login section is grayed out and I can't access the psn store through the game, but my dlc was available. Should I just wait for the next update to see if it fixes itself?

Same thing happens in my game too. The login being grayed out doesn't stop you from playing online and you can also just buy the dlc from the regular PSN. So you're good to go actually.
I got ripped up by a couple epyon players last night as both Crossbone X1 and Sinanju, neither of which are slouches at melee. Best I could tell was that his whip has slightly longer range than Crossbone's hook, which made him hard to stun. I had better luck plinking him with Sinanju's bazooka evades.

OH ok. Thanks. I thought something went wrong lol.

Ah, I see. The problem I've been having is getting close enough to actually hit people. His lack of any range attacks is a little frustrating and I haven't got the hang of his second boost. From what I've played it only boosts you straight at you opponent. Which I guess is good. Maybe I just not managing him regular boost correctly?

I don't play Epyon but I play a few close suits like X1. To move around, make use of boost dash, step, and boost dive together in that order. You'll stay low to the ground and will overheat less. Stepping also helps to cut tracking on shots so you'll be better at dodging and less of an obvious target like you would with boost hopping. You can easily jump, boost dash again, or something else to switch it up as needed.
Beyond that, make use of any cover and work with your teammate. Know to withdraw when needed and don't waste your HP chasing good ranged suits if it's not working. And don't get too linear with your approaches. I kill a lot of Epyons who just go straight at me and I'll just rainbow step and stop it entirely.
You may want to use a Striker with good ranged as well since Epyon doesn't really struggle in close corners. Another trick to close in is always good.

I'm watching someone play as the Methuss and it looks useless.
A fun trick I've found with Epyon is to do his back+melee and boost dash out of it on the up swing, before Epyon comes crashing down with his helm splitter. It's a good way to get vertical distance, and when you mix it in with his other movement tools, it's a good way to create unpredictable movement patterns.

I've been trying out other suits in casual matches (Exia and Unicorn so far), but I'll stick to maining Freedom in ranked. Win, lose,m meh. It's fun to use with INVOKE blasting.
Almost embarrassed to reveal my noobishness but I just discovered its burst attack today.
Mfw I did:
Edit: Also an FYI, if you're playing against someone using Virtue, please please stop rushing it from the front. You're going to eat beam bazooka. Was about to land the winning blow and my teammate got blasted into oblivion trying to charge Virtue from the front.

Hey folks, is the Freedom Gundam any good? I like it visually as well as Gundam mk II. But I'm not very good so I can't tell if the suits suck as well as me or just me haha.
I've only ever watched Wing but I'm liking many of these designs and concepts and want to get into them. No idea where to start as far as means to legally watch them.

I'm no Versus pro but I've been holding my own with Freedom. Seems like a solid suit with a range of options from varying distances. That air roll paired with a melee, AB or a boost cancel is good depending on the situation.

Pretty much this. And you can definitely punish suits that try to get close (Barbatos, Epyon, ect.) with all the ranged weapons you have. Pair it with Lightning Gear and it's even better once you awaken.

Hey, so whats the best way to get GP to actually buy the navigators/unlocks once you level up via spamming 1-3?
Just started playing and man is this fun but I feel so clunky and bad at movement!

PSA: patch 1.06 will be live in about 10 minutes.
S tier suits will get nerfs while buffs to some of the weaker suits. Popular strikers (Guntank, Gold Sumo, and Kimaris) are also getting nerf.

NA copy arrives tomorrow, and I may not have the chance to even go through it until Wed evening... but this patch is interesting; maybe I won't get hell for playing my main in EXVS/FB (it was FAZZ)
For the most part, Freedom is pretty solid. Good ranged options, good melee as well. Some of its moves make you a little harder to cut (I honestly forget if the air roll breaks tracking or not, probably not). For the most part, just play suits at reasonable life costs starting out and you'll start to get a grasp on what's good and what's not. Always remember that this is a 2v2, so you need to balance finding a suit that's good for you, but also a suit that's good for you in terms of backing up teammates.
Like, some stuff like Hot Scramble is going to seem very, very good on testing, and it definitely is. But you are going to have a massive target on your back if either of your opponents pick up on the fact that you're new.

Trying to boost dash with a DS4 is suffering. I get my ass kicked online because I can't maneuver fast enough.

I feel like I manage well enough with it. Then again I'm more used to a DS4 rather than some arcade setup.

I am too, but I don't always get the direction change I want when I want it, it's weird.

try using d pad instead of analogue stick.
JadedWriter

Wait? That thing works? I'm used to the dpad just being a menu only thing these days.
newtypepilot

It's sad most games nowadays rely only on analogue stick. Dpad is much more intuitive here due to the importance of stepping in this game.

I'll have to practice this, though learning all of the numerous types of boost steps seems a bit complicated as a beginner.

Gundams I've been using:
Heavyarms: I am so fucking in sync with this gunda,, I'm addicted to it
Throne Drei: Hated it at first but I'm really starting to like it now, melee options are nice I guess
G-Arcane: Haven't taken it online but my testing of it has me liking what I'm seeing so far.
GP02: I honestly just like shooting the nuke at things
Sandrock: Ehhh its ok but I feel it is WAY to0 melee heavy for me. My favorite striker for my Heavyarms though.

Yeah it uses digital inputs so analog is worthless here. I think it's easier to double tap for steps on dpad vs stick too

Really digging the Gusion Rebake right now. Its mode change charge railgun comes out so fast I love it. Plus the counter is great for those who melee charge in blindly.

Hi-Nu

Turn A
Gottrlatan
X-1 Kai and X-2

Gold Sumo
Sandrock
With the new patch I'll give Throne Drei another go too. She was one of my favorites in Full Boost.

There's a YouTube channel called gundaminfo, which as far as I'm aware is official, and they've been uploading episodes of different series on there. Then you have the Blu-Ray releases of some of the earlier series.
I'm still having trouble settling on suits to use. I'm definitely going to use Sandrock, Sazabi and Turn X (although I still haven't got my head around the moves that break his body apart, other than the fact that doing it with the controller at neutral gives a different move than doing it from a direction).
I like Wing Zero, Epyon, Altron, Tallgeese, Char's Gelgoog and Zaku II, and Barbatos Lupus, but I'm not really clicking with them just yet. Gouf Custom seemed fun as well, if not a bit goofy. I definitely like the idea of Epyon, so a melee focused suit with lots of movement options, but I also appreciate having some form of ranged weapon.
Also, I'm having trouble understanding why I'm doing the different forms of movement. Like, I have swerving, fuwa stepping etc. down mechanically, but I don't really understand their purpose/when I should be doing them.

Basically, you're attempting make yourself unpredictable and occasionally break tracking.
Jimnymebob
Member
Right, OK.
I think my main problem right now is the fact that I'm struggling to close the gap on people with Sandrock, and my meter management is garbage. I know I have the Zero System and his command dash, but I'm still struggling to get in melee range.
Also, figuring out what strikers are good/work well with each suit is confusing, too. I've been using Wing Zero with Sandrock, and I don't even know who to use with Turn X and Sazabi.

Finally got started last night! What are the best mobile suits for beginners? I tried a couple but nothing has really clicked yet... the RX-78-2 is probably the simplest so far.

Using a stunner striker works well with Sandrock. Another thing lots of early Sandrock users tend to forget to use more than they should is his MG. It's really good in applying pressure and has decent reload time. Continue to let that shit fly when you're not actively doing melee.

I've been shooting bullets a lot.
I've not been landing the shots, but the intention is there.
Is a stun striker like Altron, or like the one that I can't think of at this time, but you get it from leveling up Gottrlatan? It's red, and shoots beams out that knock the opponent to their knees, while electricity flickers around them.

Thanks for the answers, everyone.
I came into this game with every intention to be my favorite Gundam when I watched Wing, which is Deathscythe, but he's too melee heavy for my liking (so far, until I'm more comfortable I guess).
