Why Isn't Gundam Wing Part Of The Core Roster?

[DorkSparce]

Gundam Wing played a very large part in making the franchise popular in the west when Mobile Suit: Gundam Wing began airing on Toonami. Was a bit surprised to see it wasn't in the game's core roster or first set of premium gundams considering the history behind it.

And you know, the lack of Nu Gundam too.

But that's just me.

[Help]

I mean I wouldn’t mind see burning or master gundam too

[GenosseWolf]

well there are many gundams that I question why they are not in but I guess we will see them come in with time

Because of how the game functions they need to be selective of what suits they add. I’m kinda unsure why they went with grunt suits (don’t get me wrong I love the grunts more than aces) but as a general thing the aces would make more sense in a hero shooter.

Devs now need to look a niches in team mechanics and then find the best suit to address it I guess. I reckon it’ll be more support role suits honestly or another form of front liner.

Would be difficult to balance, and I think people would rather have Wing Zero EW anyways.

I think for Wing/Wing Zero to really work, it'd probably have to be strong at long range (Buster Rifle would probably be a sniping weapon) and melee (Heero's one of the better duelists in After Colony, and field tested the melee-focused Mercurius), but be weak against medium ranged engagements.

the suits in this game arent picked by popularity, why do you think the mahiroo is here?

[Help]

Maybe they could add the epyon? I’m sure it would be unbalanced as hell having a melee transforming ms but hey ho

So MS-06M Zaku Marine Type, RMS-188MD Zaku Diver, or RMS-192M Zaku Mariner?

Are you sure? I mean, we have Zaku II Range and a Zaku II Melee. A Zaku II Aquatic would fit the on going theme so far.

Jokes aside, would like to see Acguy(mainly for the Beargguy skin) and RF Z'Gok.

I feel you, could get the whole zaku roster going, get zaku worker too. Does nothing, no abilities but it’ll be there!

They will be at some point. Just wait and watch as they deliver them and they do nothing to change meta.
