She did manage to take on Gino and Anya and win technically. Gino remarked her skill level was equal to that of a Rounds member. All this in EP6 R2.

Because they were taken by surprise. If the Guren hadn't been upgraded (and if it hadn't lost an arm), Kallen would have been obliterated.

But with the Lancelot she was always on equal footing and even with sufficent upgrades only manage to slow it down, damn, if only Suzaku will fight her the same way he did in S1 episodes 24 than that would be a battle and can settle the dispute on who's the better pilot and who's the better KMF.

So you out right dismiss Gino's comments about her skill being equal? Its not like she attacked him when they were not ready. Gino also made the comment, that it should have gone all out, but Anya I'm sure did. I think her skill level is a hair behind Suzaku, but she is better than Gino or Anya or this new clown Luciano.

Wow everyone sure hates Lucanio after his first appearance, I wonder if Nonette and Monica will get a much better standing then his right now if they show up in time. Anyway while Kallen isn't my favorite character I won't dismiss her skills neither but seriously she gets the most powerful KMF in history!? That's going a bit to far.

If you call crippling them in one shot due to plot necessities something that shows Kallen as being 'better', then...I've nothing to say. Suzaku also constantly triumphs over her in battle, even though she keeps up with him.

Lol, of course I hate the guy already.. He basically threatens to rape Kallen, disrespects Nunnaly and talks crapy about Euphy. He has made one hell of a first impression. He dies if Kallen has the Guren and he attacks her, he dies.. mark my words.

Apparently everyone thinks so, In my opinion the the Guren is just one big hax that has all necessities to get her out of any situation and whether this makes her a better pilot is still up to question (she's darn pretty good) but as the Gawain so proudly represents just because you have better specs you still can get pwned by a better pilot.

Hmm, if any of the people in here has played Lost Colors, maybe they can tell us what their impression of Nonette were?

Why? It often enough happens in mecha shows, and the people in those who gets the most powerful mechas usually aren't amateurs either (though there are plenty of exceptations there too).

I mean, it's a general what if, but if Kallen hadn't gotten an upgrade to her Frame, even if she didn't lose an arm, Suzaku, Anya and Gino would have torn her to shreds. It's a general consensus that a mech, when upgraded, must kick ass at least once on its first showing.

Maybe you should follow your own words and say nothing and re-watch the episode. she kicks Anya in the head after pulling off some sweet moves while two KotR are attacking her. Kallen has consistently performed in whatever mech she has been in, beating people with lesser equipment throughout the series. (Before the Guren) When Anya tries to give the credit to the Guren for defeating them, Gino say no, it was the pilot.

You forgot tried to kill Suzaku though that may be a plus to some . Him threatening to rape Kallen caught me by surprise though since the only person to ever be "on top" of Kallen (literally) was Suzaku

Read above. Upon being upgraded, any mech and its pilot have to kick ass at least once, and this has become used so much that it's a practical rule of mecha anime. I know what I'm talking about, since I've seen Turn 6 more than any other R2 episode. Her crippling the Rounds and kicking Mordred had to happen because it was an 'upgrade moment'.

But she's only been in two, a custom red Glasgow and the Guren Mark II, but you right she is a good pilot but I wonder if Taniguichi is going to far in that aspect (Jesus Kōzuki)

Ok, when upgrades are introduced this happens, agreed. Gino's comments still can't be dismissed. He is a KMF pilot, I think he can judge talent.

That's no doubt true, though the problem is that the gap was too wide there for any fair comparison. For example, all of Britannia's units incuding the Lancelot, Mordred and Tristian were flying and had long-range weapons, which the Guren had not, so it was no fair comparison at that time to tell you the truth - it was like a military aircraft(s) Vs a tank without any long-range weapons, sorta

I'll be hoping for some serious duells on more equal/fair terms later on though :3

Re-reading...okay, she got trashed by Suzaku, corrected, upon her Glasgow's debut, soon after it, she piloted a Burai once and that was trashed in the same episode it was introduced in, and...lesser? That radiation arm on the Guren Mk II had an advantage over nearly anything the Britannians had, excluding particle shielding, and, then, at least, the VARIS. Don't see how that's lesser equipment.

Good point Dark. I'd rather end this conjecture and have some head to head battle anyway.

And also, wasn't that also Mordred's debute battle as well? I don't see them going out of their way to make it look good.
