GNMS-XCVII Alvaaron VS GNX-704T Ahead
Now,Ahead is technically a more advanced MS with better performance and all,but there is one thing that can act as a detterant to the victory of otherwise superior unit-Alvaaron has a sturdy GN Field and it so happens that Ahead lacks any sort of weapon that could penetrate it. On the other hand,Alvaaron seems to be incapable of simultenious attack and defence. This may give Ahead an oppurtinity to land a shot at the right moment.Likewise,trying to use that focused,GN Field-amplified beam shot might end gravely for Alvaaron,as it is unlikely to hit the highly agile Ahead while rendering Alvaaron vulnerable during the charge up. |

Just about every mobile suit that utilizes a GN-Field is unable to effectively combine offense and defense. There's just not enough particles--it can either have a full-strength GN-Field, or full-strength shots. Using both halves the power to both since the Particles are being divided two ways. So far, except for few, far-flung instances of the Seravee shooting its body cannons, only the Ptolemaios II has been shown to use both effectively because it has that much more power when its utilizing multiple GN-Drives.
As for the match-up... well, honestly, I think it'd depend on the pilot. The Alvaaron's GN-Drive is tuned more for beam potency than the Ahead, since its also poisonous... but we don't really know what its capabilities are, since Corner merely tanked shots in-between shooting back.

In that case,we are have a bit of a problem when trying to ascertain Alvaaron's performance. |

Also I'm going to throw in my 2 cents on the Alvaaron vs. Ahead and say that the Ahead would probably have the advantage since typicialy the Ahead is given to ace pilots or unit commanders people with proven skills and real battle experience while we don't even know if before his fight with Setsuna if Alej had ever in done anything outside of a simulations involving a mobile suit. |

I think the Alvaaron itself has a good design other then color scheme and given that Setsuna nearly beat an Ahead and 2 GN-XIII in a broken down Exia if Ali or Graham were the pilot of Alvaaron I think it would have a very good chance of beating an Ahead one on one. Plus Corners has an additional problem aside from poor piloting skills his arrogant delusions grandeur make him think that he is an ace pilot and probably cause him to overestimate Alvaaron capabilites while underestimating his oppenents which can easily be just as fatal as poor piloting skills. |

Nearly beat an Ahead and 2 GN-XIII? No. He barely did any damage there. He cut off an arm and broke a shield, that was it. The Ahead had him beat thanks to the damage to the Exia.

In terms of numerical firepower, the S and the Ex-S have an advantage over the ZZ forms. Not to mention the ZZ has a power consumption problem that the S and Ex-S Gundam, somehow, do not seem to have (even with MORE beam weapons, MORE thrusters and thruster power, and a beam smartgun that has a GREATER output than the high mega cannon). ALICE would be a bit of an advantage, though not until after several battles (since ALICE has to "learn" and all) as well as its quasi-psycommu system and incoms.
Though the ZZ does have an edge with the bio-sensor which has various "phenomenons" with the pilot, as Judau showed and, while it has fewer beam weapons, what beam weapons it does have are quite a bit more powerful than the S and Ex-S' minus its beam smartgun. Its Full Armor form is also more beam resistant with anti-beam coating all over and at least plenty of (extra) missile launchers. So it's hard to say, especially when you need to take the bio-sensor into account and everything. But otherwise, the S and Ex-S Gundams would win out overall, IMO.
