I want Big Bang Punch combined with Goldion Crusher being shot off the Ideon.

With Gurren Lagann as the Ideon's equivalent of the Jet Scrander. And the Ideon itself is piloted by Chirico Cuvie, Bobby from Macross Frontier, and Gai Shishio. (If Bobby isn't available Sanger Zonvolt would work. )

Everything will die everybody else can go hang out on the carrier THEY HAVE THIS.

It's a character beat, basically. Excellen is exactly the kind of person who'd throw herself in front of someone else to take a shot even though her robot is made of tissue and Kyosuke's is basically a giant immobile hunk of metal carved into the shape of a robot.

Can't you dodge on support defends in OG anyway? I feel like I've seen this a few times. (I know you can activate Double Image/Jammers/etc, which is why Latooni/Shine having Support Defend isn't terrible)

I don't think you can dodge as the supporter, but you can trigger evasions. The supportee can dodge, of course, which doesn't spend the support.

Latooni/Shine also have an E Field, so combined with guard they won't take much.

I can't rightly remember if you can dodge when Support Defending, I'd have to fire up my OG carts to see.

You can't dodge during a support defend but you can absolutely trigger stuff like Getter Vision/Double Image.

Yep. The full preorder set is V(6.421 GB), Initial Benefits, Bonus Scenario: Trial By Fire, DL Version Purchase Gift V, and Special Starter Kit. Presumably the Purchase Gift is the Huckebein/Grungust and everything else is the bonus stuff.

You also get a theme but it's locked until the preorder goes through so I can't see it.

Folks have listed V's trophies over here

No spoilers around but "complete a secret scenario" is curious. Points at an IF route or select stages changing into different/secret versions if certain conditions are met?

Anyone got the JP list to compare?

Edit: Could also be Alpha 3-style sub missions.

It confirms the game is 52 stages long (barring a prologue or something) too, which is pretty hefty.

Edit: I wonder what the difference between an Ace and Great Ace is

Double Edit: Looks like Morale/Will is "Focus" in this translation? But they're using Valor and Soul instead of "Anima"

Almost certainly the same thing as in Z2/3, bonus items you get for certain tasks which give you an absurdly Op equippable item.

Yeah it's probably just 50 for Ace, 100 for Great Ace or something similar. Hopefully there are still character specific Ace Bonuses rather than going back to generic +5/+10 starting Will.

It seems to be a thing they keep doing, I think the previous games have also had trophies for it. Not sure why.

I'm pretty sure 2ndOG and MD had that one too and 2ndOG had Kukuru on the secret route that starts aced when she joins iirc and MD had Calvina who you have to try not to ace.

Will as Focus is gonna be weird. Focus and Concentrate/Meditate was already a thing and now there's a new Focus!

Edit: I hope character specific aces are still around along with +5 starting will for Ace and another +5 for super ace or whatever. Character specific aces are cool as heck.

Nope!

Just from the trophies we can see they used completely different translations for the skills. This one appears to be closer to the Atlus version though.

I still can't quite believe we're getting a new SRW in English in a few days. When I first got into the series about four or five years ago I just accepted that this wasn't going to be a thing that happens, barring the occasional fan translation.

Should SRWV have its own thread?

Yeah, as someone who has been playing SRW since before the robots moved, it's sort of bewildering that we're now on the cusp of an actual genuine English release of a non-OG game.

I think the OP should get a little update and a new thread title. V even beats MD for getting people in because it has no ties to any of the other games at all. You're probably right though, I'd imagine it'd get all of 2 people interested that weren't already, but hey.
