Note: Due to the Gundam being an 18 Meter tall Robot with the fire power of battle ships, its power will have to be divided into two categories, because in the show it excels both in ranged and Melee combat. Also I will refer the RX-78-2 to its pilot, Amuro Ray. In a tribute to the RX-78-2 this post will use Only White, Blue, Yellow and Red Text.
Amuro Ray! RX-78-2 Gundam Reporting for Brawl!
Back-story
The RX-78-2 was the creation of the need to fight the Zaku mobile suits of the Principality of Zeon under the top secret Project V. The RX-78-2 was developed by Lieutenant Tem Ray. All three RX-78-2 models were present at Colony Side 7. Side 7 was then attacked by Zeon because of the Gundam’s and the other 2 Mobile suits of Project V, the RX-77 Guncannon and Guntank. Two Zaku’s were able to destroy 2 of the Gundams, but one managed to survive. This suit would be then piloted by Tem Ray son, Amuro Ray. Both Amuro and the Gundam would become iconic of the One Year War. The Gundam was the most powerful mobile suit at the time until Zeon came out with the MS-14 Gelgoog, which was, if not more powerful, equal to the RX-78-2. The RX-78-2 would meet its end on December 31st 0079 U.C at the battle of A Boa Qu.
But the Gundam it self would not be forgotten. Mobile Suits with testing purposes would follow the design of the original Gundam loosely. The RX-78-2 and its pilot, Amuro Ray would be instrumental in ending the One Year War.
Note: Due to the Gundam being an 18 Meter tall Robot with the fire power of battle ships, its power will have to be divided into two categories, because in the show it excels both in ranged and Melee combat.
STATS
Power
Ranged: 5/10
The Gundam beam canon power has been cut in half due to it being full power would put a big hole in your chest. Also add the fact that it can destroy a lot of mobile suits in 1 shot (refer to GIF)
Melee: 9/10
The main purpose of the RX-78-2 was to be a close combat mobile suit. Its Melee weapons are cooler and awesome than its bland ranged weapons.
Walking speed: 4/10
It’s a Mobile Suit. Things are slow when they walk.

3% damage per hit.
Up to 18% can be dealt.
Side Special
Hyper Hammer
The Gundam Hammer is one of the most deceiving weapons at Amuro Ray disposable. Looking like a big morning star this weapon held a nasty surprise. Using the hammer throws it a small distance. BUT charging the hammer reveals its nasty surprise. The hammer has jets installed in it. The longer you charge the faster and longer the hammer reaches. But fret not non-chargers and quick hitters. Moving the control stick in a circle 3 times enables Amuro to spin it constantly due to PHYSICS! Unlike Sheiks simple electric rod, the Gundam hammer has momentum. You can then walk slowly towards your opponent, looking menacing and stuff. Only an accurate shot from a range weapon will stop Amuro from the wheel of death.
10% per hit
Down Special
Hyper Bazooka
The hyper Bazooka is a weapon that dishes out explosive damage. It’s not guided so you have to aim. The Bazooka can be fired with a press of a button or charged. After 5 shots are fired it has to be reloaded, making Amuro an easy target during the reload. By luck you’ll fire a HE round which has more power.

Up to 25% damage can be dealt.

FINAL SMASHES
RX-78-2 has 4 seperate phases of the final smash. Phases are unlocked by the amount of damage and stocks he has left.
Final Smash Phase I
Gundam Launching: All out Assault!
Requirements: 0%-50% Damage
RX-78-2 has faster speed. The power and time depended on how many opponents are playing. The base time is 5 seconds with a damage multiplier of none. Add 5 seconds and 1 for every other player. For a full FFA you get 15 seconds of Final Smash time and a Damage multiplier of 3. This references a certain rival of some one...
Final Smash Phase II
White Base: Energy Locks off Line
Requirements: 51%-99% Damage
The power locks induced for Brawl are put offline. The Beam Rifle then regains its full power. If Amuro doesn’t have the Beam Rifle, White base will launch one for Amuro to use. When fired, any one hit will be KO’ed instantly.
Final Smash Phase III
Project V: Savage Barrage
Requirements: 100% damage . At least 2 stocks remaining
White Base calls for the Gundam to fall back. The Gundam then disappears from the screen. A barrage of shells and beams rain down onto the battle field coming from the Project V weapons. The RX-75-4 Guntank, RX-77 Guncannon and the RX-78-2 fire for 10 seconds. After the barrage is done, Amuro jumps back into battle.
Final Smash Phase IV
The Final Attack: Gundam’s last shot!
Requirements: Final stock
This is possibly the only final smash where the user is KO’ed. A cut scene shows where the Gundam is walking in a corridor with its head and left arm missing. Amuro then jumps out of the cockpit and salutes the Gundam, still walking because of its Auto-Pilot. The screen then splits in two. One screen shows the opponents flying down a shaft. The opponents are holding what look like modified Super Scope. The first screen fires its Super Scope(s), firing a long yellow beam. The screen second screen has Gundam aiming. The second screen has RX-78-2 aiming at the opponents The second screen then takes over, and Gundam fires its last shot of the match. The Super scope laser then hits the Gundam, melting the right side off of the RX-78-2. The last beam shot then hits the opponents and they fly back wards. The Super scope(s) then crash and explode. The announcer then says “VICTORY” instead of “GAME” because you just won the war going out in fashion.
EXTRAS
When Amuro taunts a Comm system will open up and show the face of Amuro with his pilot helmet on. Similar to Snake’s codec, but Amuro’s system is in full color.
TAUNTS
Up Taunt
“Better than any one”
Amuro yells “I can use the Gundam better than any one!” His Comm box may show a face of anger, or surprise.
Down Taunt
The Original
Amuro yells out “Nothing can beat the original.” When saying this, the Gundam points at its face. Amuro’s also point to his face with a goofy smile and closed eyes.
Side Taunt
Sandwich
RX-78-2 goes down on one knee. The Comm screen show’s Amuro eating a... sandwich.
If Amuro is interrupted the inside of the cockpit shakes and Amuro gets angry.
ICON
Earth Federation Space Forces (E.F.S.F) Insignia
Because Amuro didn’t get his Insignia until mid way of the Gryps Conflict, the insignia of the RX-78-2 is the E.F.S.F Insignia.

SHIELD AND BEAM RIFLE PROPERTIES
Beam Rifle
The Beam Rifle can be used as a Item. To Throw the Beam Rifle, the rifle must be deemed useless by doing the Forward Throw or Backwards throw wrong. You can then throw the beam rifle by throwing it like a regular item. It “disappears” by blowing up. Randomly it may explode in opponents face.
3% when thrown
6% when it explodes.
Shield
The shield is actually a great as a weapon, and mediocre as a shield. When using the shield no bubble actually appears. The Gundam pulls the shield up to his upper chest. After 100% worth of damage is done to the Shield (there’ll be a small percentage meter on top of the larger one), the shield loses its ability to block. When it gets hit after its limit, the shield breaks depending on what hit it I.E a sword slices it and a projectile and Ike’s sword shatters it. The Shield can be thrown as an item as well. Tilting in the direction and pressing the shield button causes Amuro to throw the Shield. Despite its non pointed appearance, it can do damage due to the speed it travels. If you spin the tilt, spin the control stick and press shield, the thrown shield will spin, causing double damage. As it is not a bash or a light spin, it does double of the other shield based attacks. It also cannot disappear like other items. The only way to get rid of the shield is to destroy it. The destroyed shield pieces litter the battle field.

6% damage when thrown
