Um, yeah. ^_^

That's probably true. But then, they're wrong - the I-Field should deflect
ALL beam weapons, and not stop at 2000 damage - but then, that would be
overpowered.

Huh? Hasn't anyone tried to use them on Earth?
Oh, you played that game too? Did you read my guide? ^_^

Heheheh. ^_^ Thanks for your politeness. Yeah, I know what you mean - some
people get mad real fast.

So you're saying that NT powers don't account for every aspect of piloting.
I agree. ^_^ My point here is that Char and Amuro are strong NTs (not the
strongest, just strong) based on various pieces of evidences that I have
quoted - and that I believe NT power accounts for a lot of (a lot, not all)
piloting ability, hence, Amuro is a strong NT because of that reason too.

The ones specially created for NTs, yes. (NT Senyou, in other words)

Yup, that's true.

No, that's Char turning on his charm again. ^_^ I remember that scene, and
from what I can tell, he's simply telling her that she will be a great aid
to him in combat. Nowhere does he say or even suggest that he can or cannot
use bits. Actually, he can use funnels later, so what's the big deal?
> I am not saying his NT power are as weak as Fa (who barely display any
Yeah, why the hell is Fa considered a NT anyway? ^_^

That's because Camille is soulmated to Four, whereas Char has no relation to
her. While I will agree that he is not as strong as some, you still have my
example to contend with - his psychic sense was powerful enough to
diffentiate between normal and nuclear missiles.

Yes, I realize that, but that doesn't mean I should stop posting. ^_^ I will
admit that yes, his answers are a lot more well-research and thorough than
mine, but I'm a post-for-fun sort of person - unless you touch a sore spot,
I'm willing to discuss almost any topic (except technical stuff) because I
believe an ML should be for fun, friendly discussion. I also know when
people are better than me, don't worry. ^_^ (All bow down to the great Mark
Simmons...)
Hmmm...I must say, it's a lot harder to debate here because unlike the EVA
ML, there are more concrete facts in Gundam...just musing.
Oh, and I just joined the list, although I've been wanting to for some time
- couldn't find the address. (The old one at the Anipike doesn't work.)
