I mean to be fair there's a reason why it's the "Boss" Strike Freedom. As for the normal's usefulness, you do have to remember; Versus games didn't get really good until the days of Extreme vs. (Hell in Plus, you can't even guard with every unit.... only the ones that have shields!) Besides, at this point it's like doing a comparison to playing Akuma vs Shin Akuma.
Except Akuma is almost always good or top tier. A great character with many options that just gets stupid in the boss version. Regular SF is so sad, it has nothing.

@@Phoenix_Destiny_Kai I said almost, you read it. Not really.

Just because SF isn't the only one doesn't mean it's any better. It's not only about balance, but the suit being poorly implemented into the game for no reason.

@@uandresbrito5685 "Poorly implemented into the game for no reason?" What about the people who simply want to play the suit because it's their favorite?

Imagine if certain Ms got the Freedom Boss Treatment RX78 -increased beam rifle speed -Guntank and Guncannon assist -Increased melee priority for his 2B -Gundam Hammer has higher swing range
As someone who kept playing GV NEXT+ constantly on my emu, I can very much agreed that the unit is one of the worst 3K cost unit alongside DX. I would add Epyon but that unit is Melee-based. However, God Gundam is much more better than Epyon in terms of Arcade mode when against Boss units. Would really recommended the Freedom and Destiny than the SF. Also, best 3K unit personally would be 00 Raiser. Spams the Shotgun charge is so much satisfying and also the unit is OP in this version of GV.
What did you say about the Double X? The DX is a great suit in this game. The Satellite Cannons are godly strong and can half health even the sturdiest 3k suits in the game with one shot. Even without the SC it still has one of the fastest recharge times for weaponry and has pretty strong damage for any weapon across the board. Not to mention it's G Falcon assist is pretty fun to abuse. Get good with positioning and predicting the enemies and you'll see how strong it truly is.
@@EmSee360 Then it is not for me then, because despite the ability to have 3 charges to eliminate 3k units effectively, the support is sadly a one-shot use and need high skill to land a shot properly with the Moon canons. Honestly, as of recent, I'd put V2 Gundam in the list for best 3K units. The unit is fast, shield bash can auto-block. And in V-Buster mode, you can block attacks by D-pad South + O (Psp controller), an easier way to input the defend. I would even add that beginners can easily use V2 Gundam in this game.
@@renashi0127 The main strength of Double X comes from it's simplicity. It's moveset is simpler than even the original RX-78. As long as you know the fundamentals of the game, it's a strong suit to use. It might not have the long ass combos of the other suits but it frankly doesn't need it. What takes other suits dozens of punches to achieve can be done woth 5 shots with the DX buster rifle, or a side swipe of the beam saber. It's especially noticeable when you're fighting multiple at a time. Basically, if you hate Double X, you're just ass at the game.
That's a pretty sad downgrade. I really want to like SF in MBON and it becomes an angel of death on Shooting Burst, but it kinda feels like half a suit to me. I really want to try the version from the newer games because it feels like the belly beam and new moves really completes it.
It was so bizarre how weak SF was compared to the rest of the 3000 units in the game. If I remember correctly, Strike Freedom was the only 3000 unit that had less beam rifle damage and health than the standard 3000 unit.
@@uandresbrito5685 It's even worse that SF's health is almost on par with standard 2000 suit health. Only thing saving the suit is the SEED Mode CSA (HiMat Full Burst) and multi target CSa. Freedom on the other hand, only has 30 HP more than Freedom, but you get a pretty solid shooter whose melee attacks are monstrous (you can shred a lot of damage with (NBB 2B >> 4/6BB)
Rengou vs ZAFT 2 SF have solid movesets + flexible speed to for not just firing spam but close combat too, while not OP too. So idk why Next Plus nerfed the thing to this pathetic level
I guess because of how good the SF was, they have to do that to make the other gundam more viable in gameplay. But still, although a lot of player don’t really like this, I personally manage to prevent the SF boss making any pressure to me. Of course I didn’t use any cheat
You should see Boss SF in Full Boost vs the actual playable SF. There's a mod that makes it playable and ho boy... which is somewhat scary coz Full Boost's SF isn't all that bad, in fact... All future games' SF is just very slightly tweaked versions of it and in Maxiboost ON it's very high tier... yet Boss SF rapes its shit inside out.
square + X, it sends you into seed mode and your charged attack will do freedom's signature move as seen at 1:38. Not sure what else it does other than that.
I really hate that they limited the Full Burst attack, we can only do that attack twice max (if you charge the CSA, delay it, going seed mode and charge again to the max, you can use the Full Burst at Higher count of Seed mode (around 70-50) then charge it again before the seed mode gone to do it again) Number 2, No badass Super Dragoon Combo. That attack is so cool but they dont let the playable one have that attack
This is so sad. Freedom has infinite Full Burst, some of the coolest melee in the game and is a high tier unit and SF has like 3 different melee and everything is bad or average besides the main(weak) ammo. I refuse to play Freedom because of favoritism, but its cool combos are so tempting...
To be fair, boss SF is overpowered as fuk. Only problem was its Meele combos, it could've at least got the omnislash (2B) combo when its in seed mode, which last around 10s anyways. BAse SF is shit
@@Phoenix_Destiny_Kai I'd take having a reloadable Leopard and Airmaster assist over vulcans any day lol. Manually charging the sat cannon takes about as long as the automatic reload does in Exvs and in Exvs it basically is a super during burst.
@manifestation of Gudako's insanity Double X in next plus seems to be a continuation of Gundam X from Vanilla Gundam vs Gundam, where it was far worse. Gundam X in that game was absolutely horrendous not only because of the lack of boost dash cancel(unless you were Freedom) but also the fact that if you blocked too many times, you LOST YOUR BEAM RIFLE.
@@dondaketype8811 Yeah..... that always was a weird thing with me when it came to the design of Gundam X's Shield Rifle. I mean, why make your main weapon also a shield? (And yes, I am aware that technically the Blitz, Amatsu/Mina and especially the Gouf Custom kind of did this for their primary but in the former cases; I believe they weren't really meant for direct combat anyway and the Gouf shield was purgeable so you didn't really lose a primary, just some extra weight)
