Char has the 2nd best pilot resume in UC when you account for skill, longevity, and achievements. He's a first ballot HOFer and you're seething if you think otherwise. He's manning to amuro's brady. Would be the goat of any other era

Lalah, stop it. We get it, you love him

His entire track record is jobbing to Amuro in OG, to rando Titans in Zeta and then dying in CCA. Any MC worth his salt in UC mogs him to hell and back.

What about the AU MCs?

>>23728495
make way for the TRUE best UC pilot with way superior achievements than that faggot
>>
>>23728495
Im pretty sure that like a third of his recorded OYW accomplishments were by people mistaking Johnny Ridden for him

They end up hitting a stalemate more than anything else

The main issue is his performance in Zeta, where he even got in stalemates with nameless grunts at times.
>>
>skill
Absolutely not, even just looking at 0079 and Zeta, he's inferior to Lalah, Yazan, Haman, and Scirocco at the very least.
>longevity
Yeah Char is good at surviving when he absolutely should be killed.

>>23729120
And Kamille
>>
>>23728495
Is he even actually better than Gato or Johnny Ridden (whichever one)?
I feel like Gato would give Amuro WAAAAY more trouble than Char
>>
>>23728495
Char's skill as a pilot is not consistently potrayed across the various pieces of media in which he appears. Sometimes he'll be godlike and others he's swept aside like a ball of dust by a blithering infant. He's exactly as good as the story requires.

>>23728495
Char is a fraud who only took down mooks. Amuro was taking down aces left and right.

Char's record is like having Lebron go against schoolchildren.

>>23731022
like it or not, Tobia's accomplishments and pilot career is in a whole different class compared to every other gundam MC

>The last episode of Zeta when Haman uses the Qubeley's funnels like a surgeon to dismember the Hyaku Shiki's limbs because she doesnt actually want to hurt the cockpit and kill him
It is the little details like that which really elevate Zeta for me.

It was blatantly clear amuro was demolishing char in the zeong up untill amuro left the gundam.

Scirocco never even took a hit from him. They were toying with him

lmfao

Remind me with did Lalah die? Who was about to die and forced her to save his ass?

In my head, Char was at the peak of his piloting prowess in the One Year War and his skill in the cockpit degraded after that. He became more of a commander and eventually spiritual/philosophical leader, more interested in bigger picture concepts (such as what it means to be a Newtype) during the Gryps era which culminates in CCA. As a point of comparison, Amuro never loses sight of the world around him, which is why he's the good guy and Char isn't. And also why he's a better pilot.

>has a phone game where Amuro jobs to Char, granted there was a large difference in spec but that didn't stop Amuro in the REGZ

It's like they can't make up their minds.

Non-canon fanfic.

>>23731576
The point is theyre evenly matched and the fight can go either way, the results only feel inevitable once theyve already transpired, once one of them gains the upper hand in the fight it quickly resolves in their favor, this isn't because one is so much better than the other its just the nature of mobile suit combat being brutal quick and decisive. Once things turn against you there is no coming back.
>>
>>23728541
NTA, but pretty sure most if not all AU MCs mog him as well.
>>
>>23731677
At least as far as the movie is concerned, I'd say Amuro has a consistent edge over Char throughout their final fight, largely by exploiting engineering shortcomings of Sazabi. But ultimately you're still right, all those minor advantages Amuro builds up are not fight winners until Nu Gundam slices off Sazabi's arm, and you could argue that only happened because Nanai distracted Char over comms.

None of this would be a debate if violate man awakened NT powers.
