A spiffy looking combo which can be done as Epyon Gundam; the overpowered hidden character which can only be played after inputting a series of directions at the character select screen.
This combo requires a back attack which I achieve by utilizing Epyon's command jump while my opponent is down. The timing on it is really tight -- in-fact, that was the most difficult part of this GIF. It took me about 40 tries to get over my opponent so they would face to the right side and I would be able to attack them before they turned around.
As for the combo itself, it's pretty straight-forward. It's really just a series of attacks into Epyon's command jump. One interesting thing to note about Epyon however is that he doesn't really follow the normal rule that you can't cancel a heavy attack into a light attack, which is the norm in most games and every other gundam. You'll notice however, whenever I am near my opponent in this combo I am wailing on them back and forth with my whip and sword without any delay whatsoever. Typically, you can only revert to light attacks after a heavy attack via links but Epyon as the boss of the game says fuck that and as such, he is easy to use and immensely good.
Only other thing of note (which I'm really the only who probably cares but I found it interesting) is that at the end of the whole ground hopping fiasco, I actually do land on the ground after I crossup my opponent. I was watching someone do this combo before I did it and I was staring at the video like "How is he turning around in mid-air?" Turns out, he was actually just hitting the ground and just jumping and attacking so fast that the game actually doesn't even show you hitting the ground. Which is uh... pretty weird, just goes to show that there is 0 frames involved when it comes to jumping in this game.

Unrelated to this GIF, I am still working on practicing the new game I plan to show GIFs of. I don't think I'm wrong when I say it's one of the more input-heavy fighters out there but I am certainly grateful for it. It has cleaned up my input immensely!
I'm probably gonna have to show more Gundam GIFs for now because I am no where near ready to transition to my next game. Hell, I'm only JUST barely getting decent with one character and I know next to nothing of the others. It's a popular fighter as well so I don't want to end up posting stuff about the game that is just blatantly obvious. I have to say though... I do love the game so far.
