It's like zero-ing your rifle, should you could still shoot it, but it's better/easier if you configure it to suit yourself.

I'd prefer the analogy of custom hotkeys myself: playing a game with default settings is nice, but once you customize your hotkeys to the settings you're comfortable with you can bring out your A-game better.

As for Ichika's mecha: Now, since they have a first shift, it begs to assume that there will be a second shift at some point? I love Shounen anime.

Er? I thought it was pretty obvious that the point was to show that while Houki has her pride and all, it's not as important to her when it comes to spending time with Ichika. That senior girl was intending to 'steal' Ichika away by claiming her superior knowledge of IS, Houki one-upped her by throwing down the 'Onee-san' card.

So I Just watched the battle in 1st ep once again. Hmm, interesting points:
- Ichika's IS uses the beam saber right from the start and the usage seems longer. Meaning the shield energy storage seems quite abundant for the 1st ep Byakushiki. - that Byakushiki could use 'Shining Finger'........ >_>; |

I now have two reasons to keep watching this show.
1) To see if Nu-13 makes a cameo appearance. 2) That ED is going to be pretty damn busy by the end of the series, and i must see it for myself.

My point for the whole discussion was that Cecilia could actually blow Ichika's shield much faster if she was serious. I never stated she could defeat in one blow, that wasn't the point at all. The whole deal is to actually remain far away the longest as you can, as over time the distance will shrink unless the opponent is arguably weaker/slower. Thus, going all out and leaving no momentum serves 2 purposes: draining the opponent's shield, while staying far away as much as possible. As soon as a ranged attacker is at least at middle range, they are safe. If the opponent is already at melee range, they are doomed to no end, even if they were unscathered so far. That's why I said she used no tactics whatsoever. Arguably, if she was sticking with sniper and missiles spam from start to finish (with of course, taking the opportunity to keep her distance between each salvo), not even bothering with her bits, she would have wiped the floor. Something like this: -Sniper shot 2-3, Missiles salvo while moving backswards (missiles would buy time as Ichika would either have to dodges or destroy them), then repositioning for more sniper shots. Rinse and repeat. At worst, she would use her bits if Ichika manages to soar way too close. What she actually did was: -sniper shots until Ichika was coming close to middle range. Using bits, Docking bits then shooting (the only part where I believe it was the best course of action), More bits, docking (forced to retreat: Ichika already way too close), unleash bits until they got destroyed (Ichika still closer than middle range). Using missiles without moving. Then, using again missiles. Not really a tactic if you ask me (especially starting moving only when she was about to get hit). Quote:
It is also possible that he got a shield energy tank or something that expanded his shield energy, although I guess we might have surprise energy depletion at times

We don't even know what kind of tactics Cecilia normaly uses. We only saw her fight this once. What if the fight against Ichika is the kind of tactics she usually uses when she's fighting other foes?
Its like a basketball or soccer/football matches, or tennis players playing against eachother, where normally each team/individual had their own tactics and strategies they employ. The fact is we don't know what strategy Cecilia uses until now. Heck, even Ichika didn't gather intel at all about what he's fighting against, her strategy or the way she fights prior the Cecilia match. He's entering the lion's den without even know what he's going against. |

No offense but... what kind of other strategy would you use as a sniper...?
I mean... the IS itself is specialized in long range attacks, which means: being able to damage the enemy without being affected because of a superior range. Since they are basically the glass cannon due to the requirements (not being able to move while attacking etc), they are generally support/main firepower with the rest of the squadron supporting/protecting them. As a sniper, if you are alone and out of the open, you better keep your distance and distract the opponent while doing so, that's just common sense (unless you are BOTH a sniper and a CQC specialist, which is very unlikely). Unless the IS itself has a melee mode switch (which doesn't seem so, since Cecilia was still using missiles after the first shift), you better kite your opponent with the hit and run strategy. I can't put more emphasis to her speech when she was fighting: she was not taking this battle seriously one bit (until Byakushiki finally formated the First Shift), and she had that defeat coming because of that. And from the glimpse of that serious battle in Episode 1, she didn't seem to use anything different so huh.

A real sniper? Hide yourself as stealthy as possible and get the kill without being exposed in the open.
Reality aside, yeah its probably common sense for a sniper unit in a science fiction world using range as its advantage. I was more incline how she normally uses her weaponary in prior matches. With this we could judge how much she fares on her match with Ichika. As for melee mode, you never know. |
