well for one thing look here it does not use the term new type but mu does have natural spacial awareness which he uses to control the funnels of the seed and seed destiny series. except in those two series they are called dragoons not funnels. just like in the u.c. century you have to have a special natural ability to use them. also mu was able to sense rau la creuset. no ordinary human could do that.
... Umm, I acknowledged all of that already...

Wikipedia is a terrible source for
Gundam information. Don't use it.

i find fault in your reasoning. give me cited proof of an instance when char has read someone's mind to be able to predict their next move.
That depends on what you mean by "reading someone's mind." If you mean "predict someone's actions by feeling their intentions through their psycho-waves," then it's implied; Char's piloting skill is the most clearly indicative of this. Even before Amuro manifested his "Newtype prowess," Char was showing hints of his: he was able to dodge Amuro's Beam Rifle blasts in episode 2 of
Mobile Suit Gundam with relative ease, even though Mega Particle beams are lightning-fast. Both the corresponding scenes of
Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 and
Gundam: The Origin detail this fact, and in this scene in the
Mobile Suit Gundam novels, it appears to Amuro that Char is dodging his attacks
before they happen.
Gundam Century, in fact, claims that the ability of some pilots to seemingly dodge fire from Beam Weapons was one of the factors in deciding that Zeon should invest more heavily in Newtype Research. Here's the relevant excerpt, as translated by Mark Simmons, because my mantra is, "If someone else said it better, use their words."
Gundam Century
One fact that became clear as a result was that many of the pilots who had destroyed warships had been able to evade even enemy mega particle cannons. Since mega particles traveled at almost the speed of light, it was practically impossible to evade mega particles that had been fired after being accurately targeted. In other words, these Zaku pilots had sensed the enemy's attacks before the fact. Naturally, the skills of the pilots played a large role in this, but that alone could not explain their ability to evade enemy fire.
Care to argue the point further... and lose?

and it has to be something that does not include amuro because he is a newtype aswell.
How about that famous scene in episode 29 of
Mobile Suit Gundam (IIRC), in which Char dodges fire from an RGM-79 GM before ramming the claws of his MSM-07S Z'Gok straight through its torso?

i have read up on char, seen him fight in many series, and have yet to see him actually read someone's mind the way you say he can.
You obviously misunderstand. Maybe you should read up a little more on Newtypes in general, starting with
Gundam Official's glossary entry on Newtypes:
Quote:
A type of human gifted with amazing powers of insight. The emergence of Newtypes is predicted by Zeon Zum Deikun, who believes that living in space will usher in a new stage of human evolution. During the One Year War, the researchers of the Principality of Zeon confirm the existence of people with superhuman powers of intuition and awareness, and learn to use these abilities for military purposes. In the following years Newtypes come to be seen as living weapons, a perception that they must somehow overcome if they ever hope to bring about the human revolution that Deikun predicted.
As the researchers of the Principality's Flanagan Institute discover, Newtypes have an unusual ability to transmit and receive the thoughtwaves, or psycho-waves, generated by human mental activity. This enables Newtypes to communicate with machines via thought alone, and their sensitivity to the thoughtwaves of other humans allows them to react to the hostile intentions of enemy pilots with superhuman speed. These abilities make Newtypes lethally effective in combat.The bolded part is the most pertinent portion.

oh and here is some shots of the suit mu would use and in the space battles him actually using it

I've seen
Gundam SEED Destiny and am very familiar with the ORB-01 Akatsuki--probably more familiar than you, actually. I haven't stated who I think will "win." In fact, I won't do such a thing. I find versus threads like this to be somewhat meaningless and generally devoid of intelligent discussion. It's mostly a bunch of pointless fanboyism with little substance.
I have. Care to try to refute it all, as well as to prove that Mu La Flaga has exceptional reflexes, which is unconfirmed at best? No one is arguing that he can't use remote weapons: he does have "extraordinary spacial awareness," after all. I'm saying that Mu hasn't been confirmed to have UC
Gundam Newtype-like reflexes.
