Thanks to the smart producers of these games, we have waves after waves of fangasms in every game. Here is a list of some of these crowning moments.
open/close all folders
G Generation
- The Franz EF-KAR98K 75mm Sniper Rifle of the RGM-79SP GM Sniper II is classified as a MAP Weapon. And because MAP Weapons ignore Evasion Stats and Defensive Attributes such as I-Fields, this means that the RGM-79SP GM Sniper II is an ordinary, regular unit that is armed with a Superweapon.
Advance
- Stage 6. Kira protects the Archangel as it descends to Earth, and depending on the player, snapping out of the sadness of fighting his friend, stopping Athrun, ZAFT and the Frost Brothers!! ... Only to be shot down to Earth by Heero the next instant.
- Also, Domon plays a BIG role in this game, and does fight with NO GUNDAM, like in the series, alongside with Master Asia (Though only in the Earth stages). Here are a few examples.
- Extra Session 4, "A girl in a cage". Having the Master talked to Cucuruz Doan some stages ago and Domon in his squad, attacking Nimbus in a Gundam BDII with EXAM activated, will trigger the following event: Nimbus will mock him for being in a weak Zaku II and charge at him. Domon sees Doan's morality is down and command him to fight back with the fist of his soul. As he does, he suddenly manages to go into "Meikyou Shisui" like Domon and Master, and immediately handles Nimbus's ass to him. Thus we have the legendary "Super Zaku II" of the game.
- Stage 15, "Challenge to OZ" has the Frost Brothers in their respective Gundams ready to blast the heroes after the entire hell of a battle the stage was. As it happens, Kamille, in his Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, invokes his famous Newtype Potential, completely enraged. Domon stops and slaps him back to his senses, telling him to focus and get serious instead of charging at complete rage. As Kamille does and attacks with the Hyper Beam Sword, finishing the Frost Brothers, the Shining Finger theme plays. If not hilarious, certainly awesome.
- Stage 17, "Prepare for the Devil". Rau Le Creuset has a new mobile suit in hands. Which you may ask? THE FREEDOM GUNDAM. Oh, Crap! ensues, as now he can pack quite a punch. However, Mwu doesn't let it affect him as he finally dashes to an epic battle with Rau. In the end, seeing it as the only way to beat him, he dashes and impales Rau, also sacrificing himself. Rau can do nothing but watch the beam sabers hitting both Gundams and finally die alongside his nemesis. A worthy death for the "Man That Could Do The Impossible, Possible."
- Stage 18, "Beyond The Time". Casval(Char) reappears with his Neo-Zeon group, but ill-advised of who his enemies really are, and instead only searching Lalah's death's revenge. As both Amuro and Casval fight each other, Neo-Zeon and Londo Bell join in as Johhny Ridden and Shin Matsunaga wait for the best chance to attack in the sidelines. Kamille and Sayla both talk to him in order to convince him to join them and cease the useless battle. But only when Amuro is ready to bring the final blow to Casval, Lalah reappears in a vision, stopping Amuro's final blow and making Casval realize who his true enemies really are. All at the sound of Beyond The Time and Meguriai.
DS/Monoeye-Gundam
- One of the most classic examples of an epic event on the SD G Generation series: The Crossbone Duo, Kincaid Nau (Seabook Arno) and Zabine Chareux, vs. Gym in the Turn X.
- You can capture the Turn X in the Rival Route provided that you have a certain pilot over level 30. The pilot? Johnny Ridden.
- In fact, a total of eight different pilots can inherit the Turn X if they fulfilled the level requirements: Johnny, Shin (Matsunaga), Cima, Zero Murasame, Sera, Treize, Jerid, and Zechs/Preventer Wind - The last one being particularly notable as Zechs (alone) gets a special cutscene if he is the one who kills Gym and qualifies for the above.
- Stage 12, AU Route. The Druggies are sent and attack. But they didn't forsee one Heero Yuy inside of the Epyon, ready to activate its Zero System. Has the player triggered the event correctly, Heero uses the System. Ass-kicking ensues.
- One of the cutscenes from DS feature Muruta Azrael in control of the Dominion and about to shoot down the Archangel with the Lohengrin cannons. However, instead of the man who makes the impossible become possible, help arrives in the form of Berah Ronah (Cecily Fairchild) and Diana Soreil's Mother Vanguard and Soleil's beam shields respectively.
- Rival Route, where you are able to convince the Druggies and Extended to join your side, use Kai as a Newtype on the Nu Gundam, but also save Master Asia and gain the Eypron and Turn X as powerhouse units, helps that the final level is the hardest in the game
Gather Beat
- Many instances of the Attack Combination system developed from Monoeye/DS. There are many unique combination attacks, just pick the enemies' poison. Also, the ability to recruit and position your team of mobile suits in the way you desire before eventually slashing and firing the hell out of the enemy offers many possibilities of creating such a Crowning Moment.
- As an example, The unique combo between the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and Nu Gundam with Newtype potential charged.
- Here, the combo of the 4 Wing Boys.
Spirits/Wars/World
- Spirits bring us an animated cutscene of one of the rarest gems in the One Year War side stories: The RX-78-4 Gundam "G04". The G04 is sent to stop a Zeon reinforcement fleet from Granada with its Mega Beam Launcher. At the cost of the Mobile Suit's integrity and the pilot's life, the launcher charges and fires at its full potential, hitting and destroying every single Zeon battleship in the style of the Raiser Sword.
- Everyone acknowledges it: The (Hi-)Nu Gundam isn't just for show!!
- Probably where and when Setsuna got his idea for the 00 Qan[T]
- One of the Battle Demos in Wars pits the AU Antagonists (Saachez, Zechs, Kira, Sven, Rau, Olba, Gym, Master Asia) against the UC Antagonists (Char, Haman, Fuala, Scirocco, Iron Mask, Gato), resulting in Char and Saachez surviving all kinds of attacks from Beam Shots to Funnels to GN Fangs to Heat Rods to even an Atomic Bazooka blast head-on.
- Another in World similarly puts the four Gundam 00 Gundam Meisters (all using Trans-Am) against the five Endless Waltz Gundam Pilots.
- Amuro and Char do battle, Sazabi vs. RX-78-2, until Kamille, Haman and Judau enter the battle. Two main moments here: Haman and Char synchronizing their funnels attacks and giving the Hero Trio a pain in the ass, and Amuro and Char charging each other, at the pinnacle of their rage for each other, to the point of Amuro even ignoring Haman, to the point of her even being dazzled by how utterly ignored she was.
- Talking about Worlds cutscenes, what about Domon, Heero and Garrod vs. Gym Ghingham. Basically, he mocks Domon's God/Burning Finger, scares the hell out of him surviving a combination of the Twin Buster Rifle and the Twin Sattelite Cannon, then fights and mocks the trio before unleashing the Moonlight Butterfly.
