The problem is with actual, real gamers. Real gamers want solid performance at the end of the day, because real gamers spend hours working on perfecting their execution and build. While they'll have fun with Gauss and take him out to play, he's, at the end of the day, just a worse, much more situation and awkward Nezha.

Once the shiny newness wears off the reality is going to set in, and given we can't even get people to give Atlas a fair shake, who is- if maybe not the best- still a very solid frame, Gauss is basically doomed to live or die by the gotta go fast meme factor alone. So far, the odds aren't looking too good, it took a day for word to get around about him and already there's a distinct lack of zooming going on in Hydron, for a frame that is still brand new and hot out of the oven.

Gauss is basically this trope in Frame Form: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AwesomeButImpractical
