Well, it did pretty well against the American mecha all things considered.
That it did, though I wasn't expecting much since this was the first ever piloted-robot-duel, I half-expected them to at least circle around each other and firing projectiles at each other first.
The first match was incredibly staged. Or at least it felt like it to me.
Second felt almost natural if it weren't for that drone bit though it was an admittedly good idea (the smoke screen thing i mean).
The third match? I actually liked that, though for the love of good those commentators were making it super fucking obvious.
