The other thing I'd point out is that paper vs scissors (confirmed by H) is the worst matchup in the game, as scissors has better firepower, better boost, better mobility (can dodge your shots), and is generally designed to kill you. It is, for better or for worse, a team game. C-rank scissors give my AR-rank paper a headache, and it's generally very suit and skill dependent when it comes to dealing with B/A-rank scissors with my AR paper, as many of them just steamroll me lol. If you've been trying to hit scissors you're really going to see little progress  | ||

I like B ranks though; they're pretty balanced with a good mix of firepower and some room to make mistakes. I got my Amatsu to OC6 :D though I'm stuck in Expert server where nobody plays =_= Do you have to buy the cash-item thing for OCEX, or do I just grind like 18k exp? | ||

Edit: Also there're a lot of A-ranks that are just as strong if not stronger than most S-rank, lol. Duel As <3 so stronk, top-3 sniper even on Korea IIRC. End Edit. Yeah I see your Amatsu OC6. So many of them (I have an OC5). I'm tempted to try to grind out a C4 105 Dagger just to fuck with every Amatsu, because it's such a hard counter lol. B-ranks are definitely very strong, most of the super OP suits are B-rank ~_~ OCEX is free, just the massive grind + 5% luck, lol. It just costs the cash item to CHANGE the OCEX, but you don't have to immediately pick the OCEX once you get it (Poiuy's been sitting on blank OCEX for days). @Kralic Standard shining's pretty meh, as it suffers from high cost (A) while having low defense. The "Efreet Custom" syndrome, as H puts it. Unless you mean BM. That shit's pretty nasty and has some surprisingly high defense. C-ranks haven't gotten enough love in Beginner servers I think. There's a whole host of high-OC C-rank assholes in expert room, especially the Zaku II (CU) pure defense. Edit2: By the way you shouldn't try to grind OCEX - it's a whole lot of exp for a low chance of success. I'd grind some other suit instead and increase your repertoire, while mixing in some Amatsu games every so often. The gains from OCEX aren't particularly overwhelming anyways, unless you have a long-ranged beam weapon (they have longer ranges than the actual lock/search range, so the search OCEX actually faux "increases" their range, hahah). | ||

I only have Shining and Wing Zero(seems like everyone has it) for my A-ranks. If I could play in C's only games all day I would have a blast, but most rooms are set up for all ranks and it is always A rank which makes it lame, I still use my Zaku III but it gets ripped apart by the Scissor A's non stop, now with my Shining Gundam it is sweet sweet revenge lol. | ||

It really just boils down to player skill :> FYI W0 is pretty meh as a suit, you don't see it that much in expert. Especially amongst current scissors loadout, Amatsu and FB are far more devastating to a paper player than that big, slow target. Z3's problem is that it's a paper without proper defensive measures, so scissors (which is already the worst matchup in the game) eat them up, especially in non-organized play (ie. not clan). It's still hard for me to swallow but as a paper player you really just have to trust your teammates to pick up charging scissors and give up if they're never picked up. There's just very little you can do about it So if you really like Z3, keep at it. If not, then don't deal with the suffering of playing paper, hahah. FYI Z3 Mouth (which should be released next update) is pretty wicked strong, although it got nerfed because it was TOO strong. That one had a wicked fast W3 firing speed that actually beat every opposing beam shot, so they nerfed that but compensated by giving it a stronger W2, so it has decent DPS for what it is. IIRC it's also a scissors, so you don't have to deal with the terrible pvs matchup.Edit: Oh yeah can't forget GP-02 Physalis amongst B scissors ._. fking whore. | ||

duel gundam AS is a really really outdated suit..also people go C agi OC attack on that thing, but there's no S ranks yet on NA so HP/DEF seems pretty good. It is probably top 3 sniper though...but no one uses snipers because although it's cool to show off your skill, most of the time they get dominated. S ranks really dominate. Sure you get specced and can die. But A ranks have 2 lives too, and the difference between full hp and 3/4 hp or w/e on 2nd life is really not that much when the stats and skills and weapon sets of S ranks are far more ridiculous. Best A ranks - AR Brave, Gadess? Gadessa? or w/e it is (i cbb looking it up, can't remmeber the name). Non OC rooms Chaos is great. IDK about what's good since the patch, but these are some of the good ones. Then there's all the AGE variations but I think they are only decent and not really good. Also the G gundam series AS ranks are pretty cool too. Also, Magnetic Coating RX-78 Last stand purge mode is sooooooo niceIn 13 point limit, you don't see A ranks because SBBC is so much better. In just pub rooms, majority of players spam S ranks forever. Bigges problem with W0 is that it's clunky and has bad mobility. GP-02 Physalis stomps on scrubs.. but it gets outclassed these days by most of the suits. Still getting nuked is lame as heck. The papers right now in NA definitely seem to be worse off than the scissors, but on KR/TW there are some good papers out there that can deal with scissors. | ||

A gets passed over because S is simply more efficient, but you generally just see an uber broken S-rank and a number of broken B/C ranks, generally from events or mission drops (Katoki Wing, Rau Dinn, etc. etc.) | ||
