Title says all. What do you think is the most powerful melee borg?
(Wasn't sure if this went in help or borg section, so I chose here.)

Welcome to GFF!
Most powerful melee borg... Kung-Fu Master is the first thing that comes to mind, but that's only because it's quite obviously meant for meleeing.
I've been having good success meleeing with Proto Mars, but it's definitely not the best at it...
After a bit of thought, I'd say Chainsaw Knight is probably most powerful, but I'm probably forgetting about something even more powerful than that. And if you're talking about usefulness in meleeing, then Chainsaw Knight is not the best, as it's rather hard to really get a good combo with him. In my experience.
Also, I'm not exactly the one who makes these decisions, but I think, since you're asking about borgs, this topic does belong in the Borg Discussion section.

Uhh, welcome to Gotcha Force fan! ;D
I recommend introducing yourself in the introduction board, you confused me making a new thread right out of the blue like that!
in regards to your question, since most small borgs have a melee, there is ALOT to choose from, but I'd say Neo G red/ G black, because he can launch the enemy into they air with his sword, then use G Crash to loads of damage, then combo them some more with G crash/ normal melees before flying away and firing from a distance.
The cool thing is that there are a lot of different combos to choose from, so you can remain unpredictable!

Now that I actually look in the Box, I see that I did, indeed, forget about something. Flame Ninja. It's powerful and actually easy to get a good combo with.
Beam Samurai can also deal a good amount of damage if you use the Beam Charge (X attack, if you can really call it an attack) beforehand and do the ground combo.
And I have to mention the Plasma Dragon. It can't actually melee, but it CAN stomp a mud-hole in a Death Saucer and kill it. After about three minutes. Best Death Saucer kill ever. Probably.

Alright, I've tried Chainsaw knight, and I kinda just fumbled around with him, as he wasn't very easy to use.
Kung-Fu master wasn't very powerful, and died fast. The other suggested borgs I haven't gotten yet
So can you tell me where to get Flame Ninja or Beam Samurai?
Also, I don't really want to make an introduction, as I doubt I will be posting here regularly, unless I need help or have a question.

As I said, the only reason the first thing I thought of was Kung-Fu Master is because it's the most obviously melee-oriented borg there is, basically. It's actually not too powerful. But it can do some decent combos.
Have you unlocked Special yet? If not, knowing where to get the borgs won't be too helpful, but Flame Ninja can be found in the "Protect the Death Crystal!" mission in Your Home and "The Hot Battle!" in Mana's Home. Beam Samurai can be found in "Cooperate with Tetsuya to retake the Construction Zone!" and one of the "Defeat the Elite Unit!" missions in the Marketplace. I think it was the second one.
But if you plan to use the Beam Samurai for major melee damage, I should warn you that the only attack of his that really does great damage is the basic standing ground combo after using the X attack and before its effect wears off. Everything else is rather unremarkable. Not bad, but unremarkable.
Also, how did I forget to mention Metal Hero? Metal Hero is about as good as Beam Samurai, but he doesn't flinch, he doesn't need to use his X attack to melee at full power (Okay, so he needs to to get into the armor, but I'm talking after that), and any of his ground combos work about as well. But it can be hard to use him effectively if you don't know what you're doing. One of those learning curve things.

Yeah, I have special. I've tried metal hero, he's okay, and that big beam sword does do alot of damage, but the armor comes off to easily, and it takes to long to get that beam sword off.
Since I'm going to be out farming, can you tell me where I can get Machine Red and Blue? If you know that is.

Machines Red and Blue are both found in one of the "Defeat the Combined Machine Borgs!" missions or one of the versions of "Retake Serenity Street!" (i.e. with or without Kakeru). I don't remember which of the four aforementioned missions it is, though...
But if you happen to be looking for an Eagle Robot, go to the one in the Construction Zone!
(I had a hard time figuring out where to fight them to get an alt back when I didn't have an alt Eagle Robot, so I figured I might as well mention it in case you happened to be in a similar predicament...)

Tested now.
So...
1st: Beam Samurai's charged normal ground combo. (220)
2nd: Chainsaw Knight's ground combo. (190)
3rd: Flame Ninja's normal ground combo. (186)
4th: Star/Planet Hero's Normal ground combo. (149)
5th: Cyber Machines Dash ground. (120)
Metal hero got 6th with his regular ground combo. (116)
These damage values were vs. Neo. I personally know Beam does more damage against a bigger foe.
So Beam Samurai has the most powerful melee.

shurken ninja X attack (watch out for walls and dog kenals) Still no. Normal Samurai is after Metal's B, with 110 damage with his X. Suprisingly, Musashi's X actually does LESS than Normal's. Same goes for Vlad. |
