Crummelhorn posted:Did anyone end up doing one of those lengthy plot summaries for Z3-1? There's one on gamefaqs over here. It starts off a bit bare-bones but, as the missions go along, it goes into more detail and translates several lines and scenes (currently up to mission 39). Of course, there's also Mneidengard over here, with all the issues it carries (up to mission 10, the three-way route split). That's as good as you're gonna get, really, and (as far as I know) there are no other options for story summaries.

There are people translating stages on Youtube but only a handful so far. (Admittedly a handful of really big plot stages.)

I feel like the main thing you need to know is that everyone is trapped in the titular Time Prison, and the whole game is Char attempting to fix this. His plan to do this just involves dropping Axis because that's what Char does okay. also because it's a massive singularity Also the originals are boring.

Personally I think it would be kind of amazing if suddenly Suzune throws Hibiki under the bus because the Genion requires it and she's the protagonist for the rest of the game. It won't happen but, it would be great.

Here's some new screenshots for Super Hero Generation. Gundam Breaker is getting a PlayStation Vita the Best re-release in September. Play-Asia has it pegged for $30 USD. So if you're like me and have been waiting to get GB then your ship has finally come in! I'm probably just going to snag a used Vita copy of the original release for that price of eBay because the PS the Best box art is ugly as gently caress.

Whenever people get around to getting it, make sure to post in this thread about it, we could setup some multiplayer which makes the grinding much more enjoyable. Plus, it's always fun to see other peoples frankenmechs.

So Char essentially stalls long enough to set up some serious space wizardry. also CCA is like way way better with Full Frontal as it's villain since he's basically Char Minus Zeta in this game The originals are pretty dull but that's kinda the game coming to a full stop right before Interesting Things are about to happen to them  A good rule of thumb on battleships: Is the battleship's name also the title of the show it's coming from? If no then it's gonna be Pretty Bad 90% of the time. EDIT: though I only have that one translated CCA stage on Youtube to base all this from, so I could be hilariously wrong

Judging from the interface, this looks like it's going to be literally G Generation with Kamen Riders and Ultramen. I am so completely down for this.

It's just the plot of SEED is absolutely brutal to the crew and as a result it's down to three people by the end when the Nadesico's still rocking 5 or 6. It definitely doesn't help that of all the secrets in J the only one from SEED are the IWSP packs and not, for example, keeping at least Kira's friends around.

He's probably right, but Frontal and Gadlite cock it up. Part of the reason he lured Z-BLUE there specifically was as a contingency.

Char needs to be Char from Char's Counter Attack to facilitate fixing the space time mumbojumbo, so hes basically dropping Axis as CCA Char would in order to fill his role as the singularity, while simultaneously insuring that Z-BLUE is there to stop him. Its also hinted that Frontal is actually Char Aznable from a different timeline/dimension/etc.

But that completely fucks with Unicorn's story if Frontal is just Char from another dimension. The entire point of his character is he's some dude who was brainwashed and remodeled into what the people think is the ideal Char. Audrey even goes to the point of him not being remotely like the crazed CCA era Char or the mad for revenge MSG era Char, therefore he couldn't be Char. Then again, the plot of Unicorn didn't have the actual Char running around secretly being Zeta era Char the whole time.

Marida Cruz is a prototype, ZZ Gundam never happened, CCA hasn't happened yet, Laplace's Box is something different, ect, ect. Edit: And that's ignoring that it is occurring in the middle of a Super Robot War.

Then again, the plot of Unicorn didn't have the actual Char running around secretly being Zeta era Char the whole time. I think the idea is that Char and Full Frontal are supposed to represent two of the major possible routes for the Red Comet to take - duality is sort of a key motif in Z3, what with the Gemini and all. Full Frontal is a "Red Comet" that grew cynical and weary of humanity's constant infighting and hypocrisy, so he earnestly sought to drop Axis and keep humanity in the Time Prison. I like to think that he pretty much went through MSG-Zeta as depicted in the series without any SRW influences and wound up in Z3-verse at about the same point CCA Char would have been at. On the other hand, Char is a "Red Comet" that knew about the dark possibilities within him ahead of time (thanks to DOME showing everyone the Black History back in Z1), saw the possibilities humanity possessed in his multiversal travels, and ultimately decided to place his trust in that potential. e: basically Z3.1 is one big Char circlejerk

Gundams and Ultramen are almost always person-sized (and anthropomorphized in the Gundams' case) in these games so it's a pretty safe bet. Then again, the battleships seem to take up roughly as much map space as they do in G Gen, so who even knows. The official answer is probably "*shrug*".

I like the way Hero Senki did it: Making the Gundam protagonists into KR-style henshin heroes, with their human-sized gundams as powered armor.

What the hell is Amara doing in Masou-Kishinworld? Also it looks like they're pouring all sorts of budget into this, which makes me sad because I care way less about Masou Kishin than Z3, which seems a little shafted by comparison.

I'm sure we'll get it back (since they didn't kill Lord Genome and he can sacrifice himself to give it to us again) but probably not until the last stage or so again. I'm wondering if we'll get to keep God Unicorn or if that'll also be a final-episode-only thing (or maybe an attack for Full Armor.)

While theyre fun I kind dont like Tengen Toppa/Chouginga because without the Tag system theyre way less useful than the other units. Being just a special event thing makes this less of a big deal since the shine doesnt have time to wear off.

The GL fight was special from a plot and mechanical perspective and I will join the group that would like it to stay that way. Besides, I'm going to be that guy and say that BEYOND THE TIME was a way better setpiece.

BEYOND THE TIME was my favorite lategame stage. Which isn't saying too much because it was in an SRW I found deeply unsatisfying on several levels, but I feel I'd have still been enamored as hell with it even if it was in a better game.

Unicorn's finisher is almost guaranteed to be a "fire everything at once, spam shield funnels, run over and do a karate chop for the dynamic kill". God Unicorn isn't even an attack. More likely to be an event.
