ALI Project to be exact. They are a music group and they have sang a few OPs and EDs for anime. Quite Infamous, really. Their songs are known to cause headaches and nausea. Examples include second ED of Code Geass R2, OP of Shigofumi, OP of Rozen Maiden, and Kurogane no Linebarrel. Trademark of their music includes lots of noise and some semblance of demonic chanting. One can equate their brand of music to that of the Chaos God Slaanesh.

eh guys menclave untill today havent release

any other sub can suggest?

riser pilot, everyone saw it coming 10 mils away LOL

I was just thinking that wether ribbons know how to create an original GN drive since he can access veda up to level 7...???

SOUSEI GATTAI!!! GUNDAM-MU!!!
TRAN-AMS SYSTEMU HASHIDO!
GN DRIVE SYNCHRO RATE ICCHI PERCENTO!!!
GUNDAM OMEGA GATTAI CANBIOU!!
GUNDAM MEISTER TACHI IKIMAS!!

sry for my bad japanese languange, many wrong

trans-am - activate

GN disperse rate - normal

twin drive synchronous rate - 100%

prepare for playing video.....
       

a nice ep, finally some screentime of Marina. " beacause you won't cry." and the marine goes emo~

First time Lyle already so good on shooting, may be he and his twin brother like to shoot theyself when their small? They share same hobby, interest and talent? 

The Orchis can only be used from afar and blast everybody from distance with its insane firepower. It's bulk restricts its turning radius and agility, so it can't be used in dogfights.

And you should watch MS0083 to witness how clumsy it can be in close combat too..  And watch how Gato slowly take him down with his Neul Ziel with many hands.. Kou was defendless most of the time when Gato use his Claw to destroy his essential items.. Then creep behind him which he was then totally weaponless..

For the Gundam Evolve video.. I just deduce more to a lucky grab..  Just like Beam cannon stab to Cima.

Games are not a good representation of mechas so we'll leave that one out... As for Evolve, it's more eye candy than actual storyline... the Strike gundam in Evolve carries the grand slam and can do kung-fu like moves and jumps so yeah.

In the anime itself the Orchis' turning radius is so huge that it can't do quick 180 degree turns....

So I guess if you consider piloting skills.. then It will be like how Gato GPO2.. which is like Fat and bulky.. A mere beam saber manage and to make it worse.. When he met Kou in Konpeito He was fighting with 1 hand already disable from Nuke blast..

Manage to own Kou GPO1A Full Vernier. Which is much faster and mobile than the GPO2 and enter the fight with a beam rifle which gives him a range advantage..

The Dendrobium is relatively slow and clumsy compared to smaller and more agile suits. Of course, for an MA that size it does move considerably quick due to the insane amount of thrusters. In the anime, the Orchis tends to outrun the missiles more than it dodges them; yet in some scenes it really does perform some Macross-style moves, albeit when it dodges it's still moving in one direction or a gigantic arc. And also, it is avoiding those shots from a great distance so it has time to dodge. As mentioned earlier, if a smaller, quicker MS gets into close range and fires, the Orchis might not be able to dodge. Gato's claws whacked the I-field and entered short range, and easily took the Orchis piece by piece. There's nothing to shoot down the claws from short range, especially from the sides as all the Orchis (and Stamen's) weapons face forward.

Not forgetting that the Orchis' large size makes it a larger target to be hit.

What I'm saying is that due to its size, it has to make big radius turns instead of turning 180 degrees on the spot, hence giving it a disadvantage in close quarter combat. Looking back at gundam history, large MAs never tend to do particularly well if smaller, more agile MSes manage to penetrate into close range. Big Zam, Psycho, Destroy, Zeong all proved that it isn't exactly that good at close range; and in CDA (although it's canon-status is still not yet confirmed) Char complains about the Zero The R being quick only in acceleration but bad in maneuverability.

The Salamis are most likely due to an inconsistency in animation rather than them being able to turn 180 degrees in a split second. It's hard to fathom a huge structure which has a length of 300m making turns less than 1 second. The Pegasus classes can't do those turns or moves in less than a second, nor can the Argama or Radish or even Ra Cailum. And if you take into account the barrel rolls of the Archangel... those definitely are more than one second.

A typical MS already needs 1 second to turn around to its back, there's no way a large battleship which is probably 10, 20x the size of an MS can do it in less than 1. Unless it's rotating on its axis at lightspeed. Also note that for the Orchis, most of the thrusters are all facing backwards so it can't brake suddenly with front/opposite verniers and make swift movements like an MS with AMBAC can.

I guess we all agree that the Orchis is fast for something its size but comparatively less agile than a smaller MS. And with your anecdote about swatting a fly with a broom it does mean that a smaller MS have more dimensions and directions to manoeuvre around. And we agree that the Orchis is disadvantaged at close range due to the lack of appropriate weapons so yeah.

As for the claws, they only have beam sabres which again aims at one direction at at time no matter how wide the range of rotation is. The Stamen's beam rifle is unlike to cover the rear of the Orchis as like I said, the projectile weapons all aim forward or at most sideways if they are carried by the Stamen's hands.

At the end of the day, it's clear that a large machine, be it an MS or an MA, will have a larger mass to move around and hence it wouldn't be as agile and manoeuvable as a smaller unit is. Therefore they are often armed to the teeth with loads of weapons that cover most, if not all angles plus an I-field. Not forgetting the insane amount of thrusters to move the mass around.

Fair enough that anime doesn't take real life physics into account, but surely something as large/long as a few hundred metres can't make a complete turn in less than 1 second. The Orchis is approx 70m without the rifle barrel and it probably is much quicker than a battleship; with its thrusters, it definitely has a greater acceleration ability than a small MS. Maneuverability wise, it has to move its bulk in big arcs as shown when it's dodging missiles... It cannot simply avoid shots by quick moves shown by the Zakus in Igloo2 where it skips aside to avoid the shells of a Type 61 tank.

Going back to the issue of giant machines, the Neue Ziel IMO is a better equipped weapon than the Orchis. All of Neue Ziel's weapons can all fire in various directions simultaneously. The Orchis on the other hand can fire all the missiles, rifle, plus two weapons of choice (rifle/bazooka) held by the Stamen's arms; but it's all aiming forward. Granted, the missile pods open up and scatter, but it has to be done from a distance otherwise the Orchis itself will be caught in the explosions.

Maybe that's why EF decided to forsake the Orchis... and also the consideration of high costs, plus the beautiful excuse of sweeping the GP project under the carpet. And the Titans decided to waste resources on Psycho gundams which had massive destructive power but horrible agility. Then again, 0083 was produced after Zeta so yeah.

As for Zeon, they just continued to make gigantic MAs for the fun of it... I haven't watched ZZ to know how effective they were, but Neo Zeon's forces had quite a number of large sized MS/MAs... In CCA, everything just went plus-sized... normal MSes reached the near-20m mark, and those fitted with psychoframes exceeded it. Alpha-Azeiru was huge, yet it's armaments are pretty much standard stuff for Zeon MAs... maybe the size is just for intimidation purposes. During 0093 the mecha's performance all increased exponentially compared to early UC, so AA might just manoeuvre faster than Orchis, but smaller MSes also got quicker by then.

In 0096, everything was still pretty large with Kshatriya and the new Shamblo... will we get another bigass MA for Zeon or even EF for the finale?

We all know how the smaller, more agile Xbone suits thrashed the bulky EF suits in F91, but of course pilots do play a role here. EF probably got complacent with no real rival in the 20+ years after Zeon surrendered.
