Who's your fav. Frame and runner? Mine would Leo and Vic Viper.

Anubis cause in vs mode hes unstoppable in a capable runners (player's) hands. i think nohman showed too much empathy for dingo, i mean honestly, with the power of anubis, he could mop the floor with dingo's intestines if he wanted to, as for favorite runner, i'll have to go with nohman, cause he has a really open ended character. sometimes hes a cool headed cold hearted bad guy, the next an insane technological fanatic.

Haha...I'm here to post in a 3 YEAR OLD thread! Anyway, my fav OF is Idolo, the original Orbital Frame. The favorite pilot is probably James Links. I like his character and his attitude. Many people here probably have no idea what I'm talking about

Though I've never seen it, I know of Idolo

Anyway, my favorite Frame is Jehuty, after the battle with Anubis. It just seems to have so much power.

And my favorite Runner would either be Dingo or Nohman. Dingo is just cool and speaks what's on his mind, which is cool (I love hearing him tell Ken to shut up). And Nohman is just so psychotic, its cool. He was a great bad guy.

Naked Jehuty is the best frame in my opinion, it's a really well designed mech and it rocks in battle and my favourite runner is Dingo, he's a great main character, but in terms of skills I still prefer Nohman, he could have killed Dingo in many different ocassions

I think Vic Viper is the best one...it has two modes and is the legendary spaceship of the game Gradius. Dingo is the best runner though. Leo is too childish and i think zoe 1 was a little too...emotional.

ZOE was just downright weird lol... for a little kid to go through that much, he would have more likely gone into a state of shock...

Anyways, I like Jehuty V.2 the most. And my favorite Runner would have to be Dingo as well. He is cool, and a stud.

Jehuty w/ Zero Shift is the best mech, Delores is the best battle AI (ADA is so...mechanical), and James is the best runner as a character, though not in terms of skill. that i'd have to give to Dingo.
i wonder what Anubis' AI is like...

Personally I believe Jehuty stands up to Anubis. Zero Shift is faster then the teleportation.

yes, but the preparation animation for Zero Shift is longer than the one for Anubis' teleportation.
i wanna change my answer for favorite frame. now it's Naked Jehuty, because it's lack of Shot lets me skip the part where i have to search for the LEV in the box (in ZOE 2nd). it's worth not having homing lasers to me to not have to listen to him say 'please come here now' every three seconds.

The animation is longer? Personally I don't believe so. Zero Shift is just bam, you're there. Anubis' teleportation is disappear, then poof, you're there. Anubis' armor seems to be more sturdy though. And he has a little bit better potential then Jehuty. However it all comes down to the Runner.

a little longer. not the 'zip' itself but when Jehuty 'charges it' or whatever it's doing. it seems like it takes just a bit longer for Jehuty to compress the space, though i could be on crack.
that it does. ever beat Anubis without using Zero Shift? it takes a minute, but it can be done.
