Mech piloted by neural link and the more you see it as "yourself" the more fluidly you can control it but the more pain you feel when it takes damage
You can be safe in your mech as a vehicle, under heavy layers of armor and ready to eject if things go wrong, seeing the world through grainy cameras as you drag it forward one clunking step at a time and struggle to track a fast-moving target
Or you can dance in your mech as your body, engine revving in time with your heartbeat as you feel the wind across your metal skin, the heat of the gunshots you're just barely dodging a constant reminder that if your mech dies you die with it
We Do Not Like The Concrete Tomb.
I love a good control system for mecha and wanted to share some of my favorite control gimmicks I have seen so far in gundam. NTD: FUCK Conventional control systems, harness the power of space autism.
I love the gimmick of psycho frames. Like who cares if your mecha swallows your mindsoul look at the RBG colors.
Alaya-vijnana: Spine friends. Also, don't worry the thing you're now attached to is totally not a demon. Trust us.
Plug that shit into my veins, real cool how you can just have an open-back USB port to your mecha. What is cooler than being spinel friends with a massive metal war Machine? Why is my nose bleeding?
Mobile Trace System: The patient zero for a lot of anime fans growing up to develop a latex fetish.
I love the over-the-top nature of G-gundam and having a gimp-suit-Kinect-controller for your Wrestle robot adds so much charm to the show. Also Domom and Rain are the only ones who seem to struggle with putting in on (minus the horse). I think they're into it…
Also, shout out to the Zero System from wing. Got to midmax the ptsd of your child soldiers as much as possible. Tell me some of your favorites. From Gundam or otherwise would love to hear it.
