Kai plays with tactics not just brute force making him closer to smart guy, he could also act as lancer as a contrast with Naoki since they are both former player in teams and their specialties are opposites. I think Jun fits more with Big Guy due to his aggressive personality.
Well, Riku doesn't really fit Big Guy either. I mentioned one being able to make an argument for it, but that argument would be based entirely on the fact that he looks like a punk, therefore he must BE a punk. Riku has demonstrated by now that he leans far more toward being analytical, only skewing toward brute force for a brief moment while using God Hand Mode.
It's possible that nobody fits the Big Guy archetype, in which case the team as a whole no longer fits the Five-Man Band trope.
Instead, it looks a little more like this:
The Hero: Naoki
The Lancer/Smart Guy: Riku
The Lancer/Smart Guy: Kai
The Lancer/Smart Guy: Jun
The Heart?: Blade
Seems to be that Riku, Kai, and Jun are all varying degrees of Lancer and Smart Guy. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if Blade also is some degree of Lancer/Smart Guy as well. xD

I mean it’s not unseen the Castlevaina cast is basically three lancers fucking around.
Actually its common place for characters to actually fill multiple spots in the five man band. In castelvania I think Sypha was the heart aside from being a lancer. And I definitely see Kai and Jun being Lancers to eachother.
I attributed The Hero to Naoki namely due to him being the one to form the team and admittedly making an assumption that he'll be the default Captain later on.
Still don't really know what Riku is. Too tough to be a pure Smart Guy, too smart to be the Big Guy. And I think you're right that Kai and Jun suit The Lancer, especially to each other. That doesn't leave Riku with very much, and I sure as hell wouldn't call him The Hero, that's for sure.
Mobile Suits Name: TA-X-413 Turn-XCEED Gundam Model: Turn-X Stats: 28 -Power: 8 -Defense: 5 -Mobility: 8 -Energy Output: 7 Description: A unit built for Kai and Souji Kiryu's masterpiece, The Turn-XCEED is a heavily modified Turn-X redesigned for close quarter combat, made with the design concept to exceed and defeat a million Gunpla, the main builder Souji poured everything he had into making this unit. Turn-XCEED being based on the Turn-X, it still retains the ability to split and have the individual parts be maneuvered around, as well as the I-field and it's regeneration ability. It also can transform into a butterfly like Mobile Armor by switching it’s arms and legs.
XCEED Absorber: The butterfly shaped X on its chest is an upgraded Power Absorber using Sei's absorb system, which allows it to absorb beams and convert beams into energy when they disperse against the I-field.
Twin Fusion Crushers: Gauntlets attached to both arms of the Gunpla. These are slimed down versions of the Fusion and Manipulator redesigned to resemble the God Gundam's finger protectors. They can be used like the original manipulator allowing them to fire beams, create a beam saber and use the "Shining Finger." The only part that was removed was the Grappling wire, which has been replaced with the ability to generate a beam cloth for use in grappling.
Mega Particle Cannons: Like the Turn-X the Turn-XCEED is equipped with Mega Particle Cannons throughout its body, it can use it's I-field to curve the beams for a more focused barrage. The Ones equipped on it's Leg and feet can link up to form a beam blade between them for kicking attacks.
Gigant Cannons: More powerful Particle Cannons equipped in the back of the legs, they can also create a very powerful beam saber for a kick strike.
Variable Beam Vulcans: Beam Guns Equipped to the head at the V fin, giving the head some offensive capabilities. It is able to change between vulcans for soft targets and a focused beam for hard targets.
“Tengoku and Chikyu Butterfly” Blades: A pair of Liberta Swords which can either coat themselves in Moonlight Butterfly Nanomachines or Ionized energy to disable opponents. It also uses technology from the Turns to overcome the weaknesses of the Shinguru blade technology, it uses Nanomachines to quickly reset the edge and an I-field movement system to deal with the weight and allows it to be used as bits. They can be attached to each other handle to handle, which compresses and increases the power of the Moonlight Butterfly cladding.
“Luna and Sol” Butterfly Revolvers: A pair of revolver style handguns with Shinguru blades down the handles, the handguns have three firing settings, a bullet made from compressed Nano Skin, a blast of nanomachines, or an Ionized blast for disabling, all of which are accelerated using I-fields. The Shinguru blades also use Turn technology to overcome their weaknesses, while it can’t clad itself, this allows it to be used as bits and move around. The weapons can be combined together to create a bow like weapon.
Abdomen Weapon Platform: Made of three parts all on smaller arms attached to the waist of the Turn-XCEED the central part contains another I field generator and can be used as a shield, while the left and right parts have more standardised Fusion and Manipulators for combat, wires included. These parts also have section to hold Luna and Sol and Tengoku and Chikyu
Moonlight Butterfly: Uses Nanomachines to create butterfly-like wings that can break down man made materials into sand.
If he was the big guy, it would be ironic since I see Jun as the shortest guy on the team in my head.
And though he is smart in some aspects, he's mostly the reckless hothead who bets on himself.
You don't have to literally be big to be the big guy, it's purely metaphorical. Toph was the Big Guy in Avatar, and she was physically the smallest in the group.

If we're seeing the Big Guy as the ones with the most presence on the battlefield then I'd say Jun and Kai also fill those roles as they're the ones with the biggest reputations.
Holy shit, Breaker 3 us SOOOO much better than New Breaker. How in the actual hell did New Breaker manage to be such a massive downgrade by comparison?

I don’t know man but they did and it’s sad. They could’ve literally just made the breaker 3 but with more gunpla and I’d buy it. They tried to hard to get into the gunpla aspect that it’s like they forgot these are supposed to also be robots (or at least act like one)
Anybody got any opinions on what our flagship should be? I’m currently thinking of either the Nahel Argama, Mother Vanguard, Archangel or Ptolemaios 2 but I’m down for more suggestions.
