Remember that pink flurry raid unit you got from Xenogears raid? I am sure I am not the only one who made it a point to not use that thing in the original game, because you couldn't bare the thought of having a giant stuffed animal fighting along side bad ass looking mechs. Well it turns out the Chu-Chu is actually a pretty broken unit in the original game.

I was completely shocked when I discovered this video of Chu-Chu soloing the final boss in the game. Without going too much into detail, you are basically seeing a giant plant-busting super machine being rendered completely powerless by the giant furball. If you can read the Japanese comments, it basically goes from people getting absolutely shocked to ending up cheering for the bad guys because the fight is so one sided.

So what makes Chu-Chu so powerful in this game? If you remember how Chu-Chu works in the original game, Chu-Chu can transform into a giant and it's transformed stats are based on it's normal form. Basically all you need to do is inject Chu-Chu with as much stat drives as you can, and Chu-Chu can pretty much render all other gears useless.

But wait, there is more. Chu-Chu can be absolutely busted in her normal form too. AFAIK, people discovered few years ago that Chu-Chu has a passive that increased it's attack by 50% whenever Bart and Fei's is below 50% and 25% respectively, and Chu-Chu can buff itself up to maximum of 300%. Chu Chu also have exclusive gear, SD Fei/Barte Doll that increases critical chance to 60% and doubles critical damage.

Anyways, I thought I'd share this useless information here.
