*Jess♥ Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 i just had to say WOW, this is one impressive page!!!! nice work on this !! Quote
*V Guyver Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 You guys want me to add in the Japanese names of the americanized Gundam names? Quote
*Jess♥ Posted August 4, 2008 Author Posted August 4, 2008 add as much as you like dude! as long as you are respecting what other people have created, it's all good. Quote
*BananaKing Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 G Gundam was the best series other than the orginal, I used to have this big book about every mobile suit in the entire Gundam franchise! It would tell you the armaments, the technical info, and talk about the pilots. Too bad I lost it Quote
*V Guyver Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 There are a ton of websites that post info and art based off those books. Even magazines related to Anime use them too. I loved watching the G Gundam series... it's silly and uses tons of stereotypes and cookie cutter characters. But it's such a guilty pleasure to watch thanks to all the bravado, overtop personalities, cool music, and cooler gundams. Just got to wonder, why the hell did my country have to have the killer clown in a junky jester themed mobile suit? Aww well, so long as it wasn't turned into a robot version of Henry the Navigator, A giant pig, or some pirate themed gundam. XD Quote
durendal Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 V Guyver, that was the Japanese names. I have this hatred of the americanized names with a passion. What's so wrong about Spiegel that they had to rename it to shadow? If you will notice, the wiki I wrote never mentioned anything about the americanized version. I get my source from the original japanese, since I own the original G Gundam Memorial Box DVD. I already had a bad feeling when I heard they were going to license it in the US. And BY GOD I was right. Also Ryuki, I could add more details if you want me to, but won't that be too much information? I even have pics for all of them. Still don't know how to upload pics or if its even allowed. Quote
*BananaKing Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I think it was due to the religious aspect of the God and Devil Gundams. Here in America we the dubbing companies try hard to take away religious afiliations so it doesn't offend anyone, but I hear where you're coming from. Devil Gundam sounds better than Dark Gundam Quote

I don't think it's too bad to have more information. if a page appears too crowded, then a subpage can be made.. so if a certain robot has lots of information, you can make a page for that robot. but I guess there does have to be a balance. we have so little information about many many other things. I'm just happy that people are contributing information. Quote
*V Guyver Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Oh my bad, I scimmed it and thought it had the english names. The Japanese names are not only cooler but more fun. Who can resist a Gundam named "Tequilla" Gundam. XD Quote
*V Guyver Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Futur...ry_mobile_units should we add the above details? We have 7th fight listed, but not these others. Oh and I specified what country the middle east Gundam was... it was actualy Neo Iraq. Quote
durendal Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I would like to add them, but I have this tendency of not accepting facts unless I have proof that they exist. The wiki doesn't really specify any reference. I've listed the 7th Gundam Fight because a Manga of it actually exists, and because I have actually verified its existence in some console games. Quote
*V Guyver Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Well we do know some of the participants of the other fights. Such as the pilot for the mummy and the guy who killed him. Nepal's fighter was featured, as well as Master Asia. Chapman's entry into 3 other previous Gundam fights, according to the timeline, he's been fighting for decades. won three tourney's each 4 years apart, then there are a 4 year break due to dispute, then lost to Asia, then enters again when Doman becomes a fighter that year. That effectively means his career has spanned 24 years over 5 tourney's at least. It's possible his career is longer if he had entered but not won earlier. The shuffle alliance I believe may of been in there once at one point. There is also the last human antagonist at the end who revealed himself to be Japan's previous fighter and finalist in the previous tournament. Come to think of it, most of the info I can vouch for because they are either mentioned in the Anime and manga, or part of the data books. Edited August 19, 2008 by V Guyver Quote
durendal Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Actually the ones you mentioned are already included in the list. And you are talking about Urube, who was the previous Gundam Fighter who lost to Master Asia. The shuffle alliance is also included in the list. Even the King of Heart, which was not even featured in the Anime was included. I had confirmed the existence of this unit because it was included in the GGeneration games. I also happen to have the Data book of G Gundam. And the reason why there was a 4 year break because of the rising tensions of the colony due to the development of long range weapons, which was proved to be very effective in the previous Gundam fight. Quote
*V Guyver Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Urube, right. I keep forgetting his name because... well he just popped out of nowhere as the villain, I had some idea of him being evil, but after focusing so much on the other villains he became pretty forgetful as a character towards the end. So you don't think we should add the units we know were in the previous fights? I understand it doesn't list all the fighters, but I figured the ones we know that are featured in the list could of been put up. The only thing that wasn't specified was some of the full names I think. Quote
