* MasterofNone: While it is true that Scissor units are supposed to be the balanced ones out of the Trio, if a player cannot quickly adapt to his situation(whether it be because of lack-of-skill, poor stats or skills on the MS, etc.), some Scissor units may become this.

SDGO is an online game that unlike many others, [[NoPlotNoProblem lacks any type of plot whatsoever]]. However, the game allows players to enter combat with other players using their favorite Mobile Suits (with a SuperDeformed yet surprisingly accurate representation of each Mobile Suit), ranging from the [[MobileSuitGundam Zaku]] to the [[MobileSuitGundamAGE Gundam AGE series]], with even some of the most obscure suits between them made available for play. Players get their hands on these Mobile Suits primarily through capsule machines (hence the name) in which you spend in-game currency trying to roll for the unit you want. Units can also be gained through quests, events, or even making them via blueprints and the necessary components (consisting of lower-ranked units).

* TheDitz: Operator K[[hottip:note:The girl dressed up as [[MobileFighterGGundam Rain Mikamura]], at least in the NA servers, is portrayed as this

* LevelGrinding: Common with most MassivelyMultiplayerOnline games. To players, it's known as "Faith Grinding", usually playing either Single Missions or easy stage missions, like [[MobileSuitGundam Assault on Jaburo Part 1]] to gain big EXP and Point gains via their daily 15-use "Faith" bonus.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Nigh-invulnerable units such as the [[GundamWing Wing Gundam]] are somehow the same rank as powerful versions of Universal Century grunt units. Likewise, GundamF91 and [[CharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]], while both are powerful in their series, are nowhere close to being equal to Anime/TurnAGundam or [[GundamX Double X]], but they are all the same rank, with a version of Nu Gundam even being [[InfinityPlusOneSword higher rank]] than either of them.
** There is much hatedom by Wing fanboys on the NA servers over the orginal Gundams from GundamWing being B ranks, while GundamSeed has it's orginal gundams as A ranks. Then the strongest GundamSeedDestiny suits are SS Rank, and the Endless Waltz version suits are only S rank.

** And then still ''other'' Mobile Suits have skill-based transformations, which give them performance boosts, new weapons, and additional capabilities once their HP hits a certain level. Primarily used in units known to have such transformations, like those from GGundam and the Gundam Unicorn (NT-D version).

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Nigh-invulnerable units such as the [[GundamWing Wing Gundam]] are somehow the same rank as powerful versions of Universal Century grunt units. Likewise, GundamF91 and [[CharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]], while both are powerful in their series, are nowhere close to being equal to TurnAGundam or [[GundamX Double X]], but they are all the same rank, with a version of Nu Gundam even being [[InfinityPlusOneSword higher rank]] than either of them.

** Released in the NA version so far are; Nu Gundam HWS (has the improved funnel weaponry), Infinte Justice Gundam ( has extra melee, and multi-firing long range weapon), Strike Freedom Gundam (has double beam rifles, and better long range than most papers.)

Not to be confused with SDGundamForce, which is absent from this game.

* LevelGrinding: Common with most MassivelyMultiplayerOnline games, though it's pretty brutal here - the higher the Rank and the difference in class determine how many Experience Points you need to level up. It's even more tedious when you get to Over-Custom, where there's a chance that you CAN'T move to the next level or, if you mess up in that leveling-up, [[BagOfSpilling you lose ALL of your experience points up until that point.]]

* [[MakeMyMonsterGrow Make My Mobile Suit Grow!]]: The Boss PVP matches has a random player's unit grow to "boss" size, giving them incredible defense and new skills... and makes them a big target for everyone else.
* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Unless you've been able to watch the five yet-to-be-released ''Gundam'' series (''ZZ'', ''Victory'', ''X'', ''Turn-A'' and ''AGE''), then this is the first time you've seen units like the Airmaster, Leopard, Gold SUMO and Gundam AGE-1.

* SniperScopeSway: Some paper units have the ability to use sniping weapons for extremely long-ranged, high-accuracy shots. However, depending on mouse sensitivity even the slightest movement in an attempt to track ones target can cause more movement than desired.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Nigh-invulnerable units such as the [[GundamWing Wing Gundam]] are somehow the same rank as powerful versions of Universal Century grunt units. Likewise, GundamF91 and [[CharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]], while both are powerful in their series, are nowhere close to being equal to TurnAGundam or [[GundamX Double X]].

SD Gundam Capsule Fighter is an online FreeToPlay MassivelyMultiplayerOnline game based on the famous ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise. Developed in North Korea by Softmax, SD Gundam Capsule Fighter[[note]]also known as SD Gundam Online or '''SDGO'''[[/note]] has servers in China, Japan, North America, and various other countries.

* BFG: It wouldn't be Gundam otherwise. It appears primarily in the form of the aforementioned "flashlight" beam weapons, or Special Attacks that involve firing a massive continuous beam.
* BFS: Remains faithful to the various Gundam series that have said weapons, such as ZZ Gundam or 00 Raiser.

* SendInTheClones: Two types here:

** Some of the higher-ranked suits can fall into this trope, particularly the S Rank units. While very powerful and usually easy to use, they're often expensive to make or difficult to get. In Death Matches they're tied for the least number of lives per match (tied with A Ranks at two lives), and give (or take, in Grid) the most points when taken out. They also take up the most points in Clan Matches and battleships, requiring the other suits used to be much weaker C Ranks. If you're not skilled in using the suit, it's also not unusual to be taken out by someone [[CherryTapping using a much weaker unit]]. But if you can use it properly, expect to be tearing through your enemies like wet paper.
** The same goes with Special Attacks. While devastating during PVP matches, in PVE matches, the attacks only take a small percentage off. Even worse, there's a chance that [[GameBreakingBug some Special Attacks will cause the target to lock up]], being unable to attack or be dealt damage. Cases like this has lead it to be an unspoken rule to never use Special Attacks during PVE fights.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Surprisingly averted in this game. While spending actual cash (called astros in-game) allows you to roll the gashapon for suits that aren't out yet or buy actual units and unit blueprints, they offer nothing that a non-paying player won't be able to get via points with some time and patience beyond some purely cosmetic paints or stickers.
