Best on foot mecha takedown

[ChaosSquirrel]

I once had a character who took down. a mecha. On foot. This was in GH1 a long time ago. I was using plasma cannons (2) and a whooooole lot of melee skill. Anyone else got stories?

[Erathoniel]

Martial. Arts.

Wearing armorweave clothes and an recee helmet.

[ChaosSquirrel]

Yes, but you cheat. I saw you.

[Erathoniel]

It was still awesome.

[ChaosSquirrel]

Awesome-esque. It was plain cheap. And it was a Rover, not a Joust. Figures.

[Erathoniel]

SF:2, I've killed Cetus on foot.

[Frumple]

Well, if we're on the topic of cheating on foot mecha takedowns, I'd say the times I (or anyone, if they do it right) trigger integer overflow from doing too much damage in a single attack and crashing the game probably kinda' wins the contest. Especially wit' jo' fists. Or feet. Whatever. Would like to be able to headbutt the things.

A spot weakness skill of 200+ will ruin anyone's day. (Well, to be fair, last time I did it, it doesn't take more than about 20. 200 is major, major overkill.)

So yeah. Martial arts. Nude. 1-shot TKO, utter destruction of all limbs, components, etc. I have screenies on my old laptop, kehe.

Now as for legit sf:0-sf:2 fights... well, pray they don't have blast weapons and load up a robot swarm with those AP/Brutal rocket launcher whatsits seems like it'd be easiest.
But really, a decent dodge'll probably carry the day for you if they don't have blast/line stuff. It's rather hard to hit tiny people, especially when there's 50 of them.

[Erathoniel]

I've done it without cheating, it just took a *long* time. I died of starvation afterwards. Thank goodness he had no blast weapons. This was not Cetus.

[Burzmali]

What's so hard?  Aside from Cetus and Typhoon, can't you just punch the module with the cockpit until you kill the pilot?  Martial Arts + Spot Weakness + Kung fu should be able to skip through the Mek's armor most of the time.

[Erathoniel]

You can do that? I just walked into it.

[Onisuzume]

I wonder how you'd do that...
Punching a 16m tall mecha in the head...

[Erathoniel]

Climbing up it?

[Joseph Hewitt]

Not climbing, leaping up its body like in Yamakasi, of course.

[clasic_traveller_diehard]

or karate chopping the 17m tall petrified tree right next to it

[Erathoniel]

Yeah, but that would require a 17m tall petrified tree.

I would recommend leaping up like JH said.
