Gameplay
Like with it's predecessor, Gundam Vs Z Gundam retains the use of a resource bar in Arcade mode. Powerful units cost more to re-sortie after being destroyed. If the player's resource meter is depleted, the game will be over.
The home versions feature an exclusive "UC Mode" where the player can relive the One Year War and the Gryps conflict from the perspective of each of the major characters. Though it mainly follows the canon storyline, alternate scenarios can unlock when certain conditions are met (clearing a certain character's path, preventing the death of an ally who was supposed to get killed in a certain story part, etc.), invariably leading to a different end. Mobile Suits can be powered up by expending UC Points, making missions easier.
Collection Points are earned when playing certain modes, allowing purchase of extras in the Collection gallery like Artwork, BGMs, MS/MA/Warship model cards, etc. Some can be purchased directly, but the rest have to be won at random from the Secret Containers.

Trivia
- Judau, Elpeo Ple and Ple Two are only playble in Arcade Mode, though some of them have brief appearances in certain alternate arcs of UC Mode.
- The game has an exploitable bug that allows for an easy Newtype S Rank when playing as either Char, Apolly or Roberto in the UC Mode, One Year War arc. It entails simply hiding inside the dome in New Yark where the White Base is situated (and hitting it a few times). If done correctly, Amuro will try in vain to attack from the other side of the dome wall until the Gau crash event occurs.
