The suit is 300 years old. If I was in a Grave my first question would be how they kept that antique running so long before he kills a few of my squad-mates. Afterwards, my question would be, how do I avoid being killed by this mace coming my way?

Relative to a lot of other Gundams in other shows, probably not yet but background story wise the Gundams are supposedly capable of high output because they have the parallel Ahab Reactors system thingy. It also mentioned that keeping the reactors in synch is difficult and a good reason why not many Gundams were made. My guess is that output is going to increases eventually.
My feeling is that it would get that eventually especially given how the world was badly damaged 300 years ago and the Gundams were only deployed late on in hat war, anime logic dictates a high probability that the Gundams caused it.

I hope to see that too. So far one advantage of not having the Barbatos being OP is that Mika's feats and victories can be a testament to his piloting skills rather than just bbeing about having a powerful Mobile Suit.

And don't forget that Mikazuki's piloting skill is aided by his connection to the mobile suit via those surgeries he's had. |

One thing I'm certainly not missing from previous shows is how often the "new mecha" makes a huge splash on debut and seem godly... and then become pretty ordinary in an episode or two. Seemed like marketing was driving the story too much. Not getting that sense from this series at all. |

Yeah but lately we have seen one gundam tear through dozens of other mecha at the same time. Mika is not doing that. U dont get to see how great the pilot is when their gundamn utterly outclasses the competition where the other guys might as well have bows and arrows while the protag is rolling in with an Abrams tank.

A one-sided battle may take away the entertainment value for some people, but it doesn't take away the pilot's achievement in operating a powerful machine. Similarly, an even match doesn't take away the value of the machine. |

IIRC there is no such thing as Gundam making a huge-splash debut then become ordinary in just one or two episodes. If there is, please name the Gundam series that do that. The Gundams either overpowered the other mechs for a good dozen of episodes (more or less) until the enemies can catch up to the Gundams’ technology and spawning powerful MSs that can rival the said Gundams (like in MSG, Zeta, ZZ, Wing, 00, AGE, etc), or the Gundams are more or less the same level as the enemies’ MSs from the get go (like in Victory, 08th MS Team, 0083, etc). SEED (& Destiny to some extend) is a rare series where the Gundams are truly overpowering other MS models (partly thanks to PSA and the likes) from beginning to the end of the series. The only way to equally fight a Gundam in SEED is to deploy another Gundam (even Wing still has Tallgeese, Vayeate & Mercurius that can rival the Gundams).

And then its performance went average to bad until it got the 0-Raiser.

Really, up until it got the 0-Raiser upgrade, the 00 Gundam did nothing really spectacular except for its debut, where it, I repeat, vaporized half of an Ahead in a single blast. A feat never repeated with the base weaponry ever again. 2) Normally I'd agree, but due to the second season format, season 2 is written and depicted in a way that follows beginning-of-show Gundam formula, as generally speaking when the protagonist gets the upgraded Gundam he still has the skills to back up and generally requires an enemy ace with an equally powerful machine to keep the tension up. Setsuna's starting performance in the second season is instead a little lackluster, much like early Gundam protagonist performances (when they're still rookies). So mid-series upgrade or not, I feel the 00 Gundam counts. 3) I was just giving an example. Overall you're correct, as the full shows that preceded IBO came in two flavors: the protagonist Gundam either continued to perform amazing feats (Build Strike and Build Burning Gundams), or didn't perform that spectacularly in their starting battle (Gundam AGE-1 Normal, where the impressiveness was that he managed to kill an until-then unkillable opponent at all). Before that, it was the 00, which fit Kari's claim, and the Exia, which was more along the lines of the Build Strike's performance.

Still had a phenomenal fight against Gonda while under-equipped, and still managed a pretty slick move in warding off Tatsuya before he was trounced. And then still did really well, battle-wise, in every fight after that point. It counts.

Tatsuya & his Amazing Zaku is world-championship material. Certainly not the same as facing goons. That's like if Wing already have to battle Tallgeese or Mercurius in episode 2-6 in Gundam Wing show.

It would be a nice detail they could take care of. And I'm expecting them doing so.

Actually, it's the other way around. They only shot-to-death two people from 1st Group as examples, keep the accountant, and also keep Todo coz he was willing to work with the 3rd Group. As for the rest of the 1st Group members, well, they were provided some choices which are: 1) to keep working on CGS but under the 3rd Group, 2) to leave the CGS and received their due payment or 3) to be shot dead. Sane people from 1st Group will not choose to 3rd option, while pride and bad-blood might prevent many of them to choose the 1st option. So that leaves the 2nd option which I guess taken by the majority of them.
