I think ill go with Uso Evin. Although his skills initialy were mainly attributed to his newtype abilities, he became better after each battle through his battle experiances. I can imagine an older Uso surpassing or at the very least rivaling all the other pilots.

GX9900_NTlv9 · 2006-01-15, 10:22

Amuro Rey - No doubt the best, he grows really fast, when we see him at the start of Mobile Suit Gundam, Char called him an amateur, then at the end of mobile suit gundam, he became Char's rival. He piloted the RX78-02 with no prior experience, and defeated Zakus with no weapons but the plain melee power of the RX78. In Char's Counterattack, he was almost invincible with the psychoframe and the fin funnels.

Usso Evin - At the age of 13, his quick growth in piloting skills probably exceeds even that of Amuro. His ingenious strategies always catches his opponents off-guard and gives them the fatal blow. However, he lacks the concentration like that of Amuro and gets hurt occasionally.

Loran Cehack - Can't really be regarded as the best, his ms ability exceeds his own piloting ability, and with no strong opponents, he is easily beaten by the likes of the better newtypes.

Kira Yamato - The strongest coordinator, but the gundams he pilot are always the most powerful at his time. He didn't require much skill to defeat his opponents.

I don't see Garrod on the list...

Garrod is a pretty good pilot, and probably the best non-genetically enhanced pilot. But speaking of Garrod, I think Jamil would probably beat Garrod in piloting skills, that guy is 30 years old and can shoot down and dodge funnels with ease!

Jamil is also a newtype.

He lost access to his powers when the world went poof, but he is still a newtype

To be completely fair, he was a bit miffed that there was a Gundam Mk. II and he wasn't allowed to play with it ^^.

I have to admit I'm surprised Amuro is winning, surely there are more Kira fanboys out there?

shaolo · 2006-01-16, 16:06

The next pilot poll should exclude Amuro Ray and Kira Yamato because with those to on the poll all the other will hardly get as vote.

JanthraX^ · 2006-01-16, 16:22

Amuro as the better pilot,

however Char, as a leader and a symbol, i have seen him many times ordering his men about with tactical superiority and having a bit of banter with his men, maybe his ideas are a bit off but i really like him, and he had a pimped mask!

And so can Garoad. Not being able to easily take out funnels his first fight against them is hardly a down point, as we all know that funnels are a b***h to deal with, especially when you're not a Newtype. The only one who esily dealt with them without prior funnel combat experience was Amuro (Jamile probably fought funnels before when he was a GX pilot in the war, and even if he didn't, he still had experience fighting bit mobile suits, which come pretty close to normal funnels/bits), and that's because his Newtype powers were well-developed, and his skills were through the roof at that point. Garoad fought funnels at a very early point in his piloting career, so it's kinda irresponsible to expect him to take them out expertly right away like Amuro and Jamile, who had way more piloting experience in general, ler alone Newtype powers/ex-Newtype powers.

No.....that was Beltorchika who wanted Kamille to let Amuro pilot the Mark II to get his confidence back.....Amuro didn't say anything about wanting to pilot the Mark II, and he especially didn't complain about it.....

Shinji103 · 2006-01-16, 19:20

Not to restart any debates from the Best Pilot Rankings thread, but I just realized something after rewatching Gun x Sword 26 again. For those who have seen Gun x Sword, or who have at least been reading the thread here on ANimesuki, there is an uncanny resemblance between characters and fighting styles of Michael and Kira Yamato, and Van and Shinn. Michael uses an eight i\wings of light mecha like Kira in S-F and liked to spam his beam rifle in episode 23 (I believe it was 23 where Van and Michael had their duel), and he is voiced by Kira's voice actor. Van uses swords (Shinn liked to use his sword a lot in Destiny) and has a bad attitude character, and his mecha used afterimages in Van's duel with Michael. Now here's the kicker:

Remember Demongod86's attempt at trying to say Amuro got pwned by a rock, aka Axis in CCA? Well, in Gun x Sword 26, Gun x Sword's Kira Yamato, aka Michael, got smushed by a rock.

Now, I doubt this was an intent of the writers of Gun x Sword (well, it could have been for all we know), but I find that a hilarious coinciidence that they have Michael, who is uncannily similar to Kira Yamato, be smushed by a rock, and then some time later, we're having a debate about Amuro getting pwned by a rock, aka Axis. lmao

That thread link is no longer functional, just tried it so this is no repeat.

On another note, where are all the seed fan boys? UC pilots are winning by a land slide here.

I remember that one. Boy, was he a whiny prick at that time. I imagined that if he was annoyed enough, he'd go inside the MkII, start it up, shout at Camille "Mine!", fly away and pwn countless GM II's, Hizacks or whatever grunt suit he could find. At least until he wrecks it and receives his spanking brand new Fully Refined Hi-ZetaNuXiEpsilon Gundam complete with FIN (Freakishly Impressive Numerous) Funnels that shoot out energy beams capable of destroying colonies, massive rocks and grunts who look at it. Afterwards, he pwns every main villain then go to SSNTJ 10^2 and finally pwn himself just because

Good thing he behaved like a good OYW hero should and let Camille be the star of the show. Bad thing though

maohayato · 2006-01-17, 14:56

whats all this crap about domon not being a pilot!! he IS a pilot, not everyone can use a mobile trace system to maneuver on land, in water and in space. And being able to use hypermode also requires lots and lots of training.

Besides, if ppl say that mobile trace system is not piloting then you are saying that Zengar Zombolt is not a pilot. And we all know Zengar IS a pilot(for evidence that he uses a mobile trace system go watch ep 3 of SRWOG OVA or play SRW@3 where Touma gets one from the tesla lab and gets instructions by zengar). Another example is Guld, he doesn;t even move yet he pilots his valkyrie WITH HIS MIND!!!

So stop hating Domon, we all know he can easily defeat any other beam-spambot gundam pilot as he has godshadow and warriors insight. He has shown us that he can beat funnel/bits in the show, use military tactics against the death army and that he is a great squadleader(he is the leader of the shuffle alliance).

Sidenote: Master Asia didn;t even have to use his hands to destroy an ms, he used his scarf XD

HazardNights · 2006-01-17, 22:13

Domon really isn't a pilot though. He's a fighter. He doesn't even have a mobile suit but a mobile fighter. I thought that G Gundam was clear on this since they had both in the actual show.

GX9900_NTlv9 · 2006-01-18, 03:25

Nope, Jamil did not use his newtype abilities to beat the funnels, he lost his newtype powers after the war 15 years ago and can now be considered a normal human pilot. He only managed to use the flash system due to Lucille and after Lucille left, he's nothing but an average human. And still, he's a better pilot than Garrod, even without his newtype abilities, considering his piloting skills should have rusted after 15 years of no piloting.
