So, who else here is #TeamJapan? USA gonna get its ass whooped.

All this hype and it's going to come down to what are essentially two JCBs slogging into eachother in the middle of a parking lot

>>15413417
i see now why mechs are not currently in development for modern warfare
look at that shit

>>15413423
Probably, but one can dream. It's still fun to think about.

>>15413436
Mechs are not practical for war, that's just a 2d fantasy. Kuratas is just for show.

Also, yeah. I'm pretty sure everyone in the world is rooting for Japan on this one.

Just fighting is meaningless. To truly compare them we need them to take part in a series of challenges - lifting an egg without breaking it, a full round of baseball, Takeshi's Castle / American Ninja, drift racing while delivering tofu, towing a 747, who can eat the most hotdogs in 1 minute, etc.

That doesn't sound like it would sell to many people. Only literal nerds, like most of us, would find such feats fascinating because we have some grasp of the complexity of robotics. Laymen want to see a cock-fight by any other name.

Didn't realize I wanted this until now

would masturbate to /10

I pray they converted the Kuratas into a giant single-shot pile bunker on wheels.

>>15413436
Mecha literally only make sense in a setting like UC.

>>15413417
I would be #TeamNips but I'd prefer to be on the winning side.

Kuratas is so much smaller and lighter that the Megabot might just drive into it and knock it over, hopefully Suidobashi has been upgrading it's legs to actually serve as legs and help it stay upright, and go fast enough to stay out of megabot's range.

Apparently the Mark III is over 12 tons now. Kuratas is about 4.5. In mecha the little guy is the good guy. Case closed.

Have you seen the latest iteration of the Megabot? Kuratas would have this in the bag handily, were it not for the possibility of the Megabot losing balance and falling onto it.

Square cube law. Mechs do not work as long as gravity is a concern. And in space, why would you have a mech when you could have a much more mobile fighter at a tenth the cost and storage space?

That guy is a massive VOTOMS fan fulfilling his dream.

Of course I'm rooting for him and not for two Autodesk-sponsored faggots.
Ijust hope he can figure out the pneumatic punch somehow... Ican be that was exactly what was on his mind when he asked for it to be a melee match.

They will never be viable.
