WIN

 

[Kaiser0079]

I am very ready to argue in favor of relativistic+ newtypes even tho most cases rely on ang sizing. The tandem movement is way too legit.

 

[Scottycj256]

Watched SEED Freedom yesterday night

 

[Scottycj256]

SEED is so peak in the 2 hour movie format

 

[SeijiSetto]

i bought 6 gunplas
i will now start watching Unicorn (sinanju looks so cool)

 

[Shadyboi0]

I'm about 30 episodes into Wing. It's peak

 

[Scottycj256]

when you see a movie so good your friend says "i need to do drugs" after it ends

 

[SeijiSetto]

how does scaling gundam work it's got a ton of content to wade through
do you just start at the chronologically earliest shows and work up from there because technology advances over time?

 

[SeijiSetto]

I found something in Gundam Origin.

It's stated that the fusion reactor of the YMS-03 Waff has a 'high-speed electron collimation' system equivalent to 10 kT.

From what I can find, these specific kinds of collimation systems in real life focus electrons into narrow beams, which are used for fast ignition in fusion reactors.

What does this mean for any of our potential ratings? Idk. I hope someone can explain this.

i think the T here might be for Tesla (unit of magnetic flux density) over tons of TNT, considering magnetic fields are used in colliders and such to change directions of particles passing through
i could be very wrong though? apparently CERN's electromagnets are only 8.3 Tesla as opposed to 10 THOUSAND

ye

we also separate by AU

so UC, G Gundam, Wing, SEED, 00, and the Witch From Mercury all have different scaling chains as well as the other three

makes sense
ignoring Turn A's position (since apparently that's where everything technically starts its like a giant timeline reset), is this accurate

sort of

most people dont lump the other AUs into the Dark History because G Gundam, Wing, and Gundam X were the only AUs shown in the dark history flashback (because Turn A is made in 1999 lol) but the dark history is meant to be a universal reset point for every AU

also i dont have a clue what Mobile Suit Gunpla Builders G is lol but its definitely not part of the 00 universe

and Post Disaster is actually like PD 325 instead of 32

That makes far more sense, honestly. I didn't even realise the unit had the same notation.

It's the future, so I can see it (even though it's comically overpowered).

 

[StekFence]

How much energy is that?

 

[Scottycj256]

its inequivalent to energy output, its magnetic energy rather than kinetic energy

 

[Kaiser0079]

I might have some potential tier 5 stuff for G Gundam that I calculated a bit ago, but I'd rather rewatch the show when the time comes

 

[Shadyboi0]

I was expecting tier 6( I may need to rewatch G, it's peak)

 

[SeijiSetto]

10 eps into unicorn

 

[Kaiser0079]

Devil Gundam tendrils have some crazy feats
God Gundam would scale directly because of the final episode and some other Gundams tanking attacks from the tendrils directly

 

[Kaiser0079]

Oh yeah I also found through a guidebook that the beams in G Gundam are diffuse particle beams (at least the ones by the Devil Gundam)
So we the cast might just be relativistic too

ok but does this scale to my glorious lord sinanju
if the answer is no then idgaf

 

[Shadyboi0]

No

 

[SeijiSetto]

No

quite sad!

 

[Shadyboi0]

quite sad!

Nah, G gundam is peak

 

[SeijiSetto]

do you just start at the chronologically earliest shows and work up from there because technology advances over time?

to this end i think im gonna watch OG -> Zeta -> ZZ -> Char's Counterattack (on scott's recommendation) and just look for shit

 

[Kaiser0079]

Sinanju scales to UC beams which are also stated to be particle beams so basically every relevant character would get relativistic reactions from reacting to them

i DeepL translated some of the stuff in the booklet i got with my Unicorn kit and i think it also said Kshatriya's funnels are particle weapons, so

 

[Kaiser0079]

Every Gundam beam is a particle beam, they're all based on the Mega Particle Cannon technology
So basically everyone gets at least this

 

[SeijiSetto]

fair enough
i opened up the gundam wikia page and apparently they're stated to be lightspeed, ig scans would help? i'm just curious

 

[Kaiser0079]

They are in the Gundam setting guide
Note that the statement about aimdodging refers only to early newtypes and that later newtypes just clearly move in tandem with beams in general

 

[StekFence]

so, zz apparently has more power output then uc 150 suits

 

[StekFence]

Hell, it’s higher then uc 200 suits

 

[Violatas]

Just found out this exists.
I applaud y'all for researching this verse because its very under looked by the wider community despite its popularity

 

[SeijiSetto]

i should calc the Side 7 Zaku explosion from 0079 - considering that it blew a huge chunk in the side og the colony despite exploding ABOVE ground and RX-78-2 tanked it from some distance away it's probably not bad in terms of destructive capacity

 

[Kaiser0079]

I think I'll eventually take a crack at this calc again too

I recalled this got calced already and the RX got 8-B via ISL. By idk where that calc is.

sounds possible, but at the same time? colonies are big.

the land is probably a couple hundred metres thick? and the zaku's blast blew it all out of the colony in like a second tops - and Amuro in RX78 was right next to it. i feel it could be higher but i'll have a definitive answer when i actually start doing the math.

 

[SeijiSetto]

what the hell am i supposed to do when i have conflicting measurements for weight and such
i've got 2 different sources saying RX-78-2 weighs both 43.4 tonnes (dry) and 53.4/110.4 tonnes (dry/wet)

 

[SeijiSetto]

it's definitely going somehow
