** 2010s and later titles have a nasty habit of giving protagonist units from series with interchangeable pilots (like Universal Century ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' series and ''Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine'') finishing moves that are exclusive to their canon pilots, such as "[[RammingAlwaysWorks Waverider Crash]]" only being usable by [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille Bidan]]. This defeats the purpose of granting the ability to change pilots in the first place. It's doubly frustrating for the aforementioned series as they already have tiered Newtype and Aura Power pilot skills that could be used to make it challenging, but not outright impossible, for supporting characters to use these finishing moves -- which ''Dunbine'' units ''already utilize'' to make most incarnations of "Hyper Aura Slash" a mid-late game upgrade.

The Waverider Crash is a standout example as its debut in ''Alpha Gaiden'' started it as an attack any pilot could use to becoming locked to Newtypes only and lastly where it is exclusive to only Kamille Bidan.

** "Classic" games featured a unit stat called "Limit": intended as a nod to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', where Amuro Ray's [[PsychicPowers Newtype]] abilities become too potent for his Gundam to handle, Limit throttles a character's accuracy and evasion rates if their level is too high for the unit they're using. This forces players at spending credits for additional upgrades just so units can perform as they're supposed to. Limit lasted all the way up to ''Alpha Gaiden'' before being quietly discontinued.
** Early games also have individually-upgraded weapons, as opposed to a unit's entire arsenal being tied to a single upgrade bar in later games. Individually-upgraded weapons effectively force players to choose two or three weapons to focus their upgrades on, since there's not enough money to upgrade everything. This upgrade system, combined with the Limit stat, the RocketTagGameplay caused by armor becoming irrelevant later in the game, and a whole host of LowTierLetdown units, heavily encourages MinMaxing instead of exploring unit variety.
