All villains are stupid. I hate it when the bad guys can kill the good guys so easily but choose not to and instead toy around. I'd like to see a villain in anything where they just show no mercy. If they can go in for the kill, they go for it.

You have to start watching things besides shounen anime and playing things that aren't JRPGs.

On-topic:

One thing that always bothered me about the idea of RAYs protecting Arsenal Gear is that it wouldn't work. If someone knew where Arsnal Gear was and had a REX, they could just launch a completely invisible nuke from thousands of mies away and wipe it out regardless.

good point, why even bother to try "counter" something that can lauch a nuke?
