Here's your choices of VF-1s to pick from. Max's the best for me, but look at the individual fighters and make your own choice.
Hikaru Ichiyo/Rick Hunter - Rick's Super VF-1S Command Fighter is a so-so fighter. The lasers in Fighter Mode provide good coverage forward and protects the fighter from enemies that might throw themselves at the fighter from above and below and allows the fighter to take out turrets above or below them. However, in this respect, the lasers are also short-ranged when talking about using them for attacking enemies above and below. The cannon in GERWALK Mode isn't terribly powerful. GERWALK Mode should be used for longer range above and below kills using the bombs. And lastly, Battroid Mode's cannon is the same as GERWALK and does not get stronger with power ups. What you DO get with power ups is more missles. But the missles are slow to launch so they may not be very effective at times.
Max Jenious/Max Sterling - Ironically, Max's figher should be the weakest fighter because the VF-1A is the workhorse of the UN Spacy and is only given to your basic grunt soldiers who have no rank and will get killed quickly. However, this fighter out does both Rick and Miriya's fighters! Despite that the VF-1S and VF-1J models are superior, as far as this game is concerned, the VF-1A is superior. In Fighter Mode, the guns of the VF-1A not only get stronger with every power up but they eventually turn into a three way shot with lots of coverage. The gun in GERWALK Mode is highly unusual, but if you can learn to master its use, it can make a VERY effective shield! Especially, when at full power! Last, but not least, Battroid Mode's Seeker Cannon is most effective in many situations. All in all, this is one kick-@$* fighter! I recommend this fighter SOOO much, that all the strategies in this guide will be mostly centered around it. If you like to use another fighter and would like to knowhow to get out of a particular jam using it, don't hesitate to contact us! We'll help you out and add the data gained from helping you to the guide so others who choose your fighter can benefit as well. ....But I still say the VF-1A is the best in the game.
Millia/Miriya Parino - Miriya's fighter is in between Max's VF-1A and Rick's VF-1S's capabilities. The gun pod in Fighter Mode is a nice rapid fire gun that can deliver quick blows. In GERWALK Mode, the multi-directional cannon gives you okay coverage but that coverage it random and in consistent. Lastly, Battroid Mode's cannon can deliver powerful blasts but like Rick's Battroid missles, the cannon shots aren't rapid. However, it's still a pretty good weapon, especially when dealing with bosses.
