Speaking of V, I looked at that scan again and one thing I noticed is it looks like it's missing the skills you'd associate with any kind of squad system, like Follow/Focus/Cluster Attack. It's just the basics.
That's kind of an interesting point because something like Cross Ange could be a 12-unit fiesta in a squad game but easily get away with only having 3 units and having the rest represented as assist attacks in a single-unit game.

It also means we might not get Roberto as a unit from Zeta Gundam. I missed that dude in Z2.

I just remembered in V it's the girl that got the Grungust and the boy that got the Huckebein and I get hype all over again.

The girl didn't sound like that great of a yeller which is a key component of piloting a super robot.

When I first played SRWOG on the GBA, I really liked Ring Mao. For most of the game she's just a background character who's kind of ancillary to the conflict until aliens show up at her front door, but when they do she busts out with a second Grungust and kicks rear end.

It really threw me for a loop when I found out she was originally the Huckebein pilot. Then again, the fact that the Huckebein's tended to be really poor suits in OG probably didn't help.

I couldn't say if it's just the 'you can make any unit you like usable if you upgrade it' effect since I'm not sure how much attention I was giving them, but in all the OG games I've played the non-MP Huckes have been pretty big rear end-kickers. I was devastated when they all got destroyed in 2nd OGs since they were all mainstays in my army in addition to just being units I liked.

The original Huckebein and Boxer were both fantastic in OG2. The other Huckies were pretty decent chassis for the better real weapons too.

"You've all learned something very important here: there are things in this world you just can't change!"
The original Huckebein was amazing in OG1 and was a victim of the massive power creep of OG2, even if it was still a fairly solid unit.

Sadly, Ring isn't too hot in it, considering her will gains, but it's a good unit for Leona if you're not just going to shove her in the Wurger L forever.

Dear SRW thread, am I mis-remembering something, or was there some kind of shoujo anime crossover game on like the (first) playstation? Something with a bunch of old magical girl shows and stuff?

I know Super Heroine Chronicle is a thing on PS3 but that's not what I'm thinking of.

Dark History Turn-A was in World and/or Overworld too. It only had two attacks, a basic melee and ranged, but it's stats were supreme.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
I've been watching Patlabor lately and I'm really surprised it's not better represented in the series. Is it not terribly popular, or is a bunch of cops whose ultimate weapon is a robot-sized revolved not really flashy enough for SRW?

Personally, I'd be all about watching Ota try and fail to suplex an enemy super until Noa comes up behind it and rams a baton in its back.

It's the fact that it honestly isn't very easy to work. It's in one SRW and to be honest it's like... kinda clear that they don't have a ton of ideas how to make the unit very good. You can just kinda dance around it by giving it ridiculously inflated stats but that isn't very fun. It's better when you have something like Dai-Guard where it's kind of a lovely unit literally held together by its pilot spirits until it gets a few upgrades.

Yeah that's fair enough, although by that same token, they made Bonta-Kun work. Having both of the Division 2 forwards beating on something while Asuma is on the ground trying not to get smashed would be pretty great!

Odd V detail from the site since odd details from the site are totally my thing: the third special skill is Concentration. It's still not a squad skill. Also, it's leveled now, which is kind of interesting.

Making Patlabor cool and good isn't impossible, but I feel they would definitely have to be a team unit instead of just one thing. A lot of attacks would be a call in because individually they don't have much going for them other than a truncated FMP attack list, but together they have loads of options, like the suplexing and beatdown. Make them S size with a spirit pool for each member, maybe even have it so they transform but its to swap which member is in the front like the unit in Neo, is it the Eldran guys? They'd have much the same attacks, maybe one changed for each, but different skill sets and you can have your fave one in front having a good time.

Put Patlabor on the list with Escaflowne as stuff that needs another shot.

On episode 97 of internet interview show Matt Chat,[1] creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche described the unusual production style. The company were faxed design documents directly from Bandai which needed to be translated from Japanese before any of them could be implemented. The process was so laborious, the developers eventually stopped receiving Bandai's faxes in order to finish the game on schedule.

Yeah it seems like a pretty fuckin weird game. In my hazy memory I was thinking it had pretty bad graphics and now that I looked up a video uh loving confirmed holy poo poo. Just..WEIRD choices on the art. It seems like when still the characters are a fairly poor 2D sprite but when moving they temporarily become fairly poor 3D models.
