"G-Reco's designs wouldn't work" is a hell of a take in a series where Cybuster exists.

I also am anxious for the next SRW but I also wouldn’t mind another Super Heroes Generation or Lost Heroes. Especially if they get translated.

I was really hoping City Shrouded in Shadow would be solid but reviews seem pretty mediocre.

I have played a fair amount of SRW over the years, and I honestly cannot remember this being nearly as prevalent as it is in Moon Dwellers, like ever. At least in some of the other titles, "Reduce unit to [x] without killing it" is reserved to boss/boss-ish units where you can kind of just ballpark big attacks and be fine due to massive HP pools. But grunt units? Nah, keep that poo poo to Kira Yamato (which is funny because the last time I remember having to use Mercy was on some SR Point back in Z1 in which Kira's assistance was greatly appreciated).

In OGG, you had to reduce four regular-rear end Bartolls to under 10% HP to save the pilots inside. Basically it was a job for Ryoto and Rishu. I mean, Sean knows Mercy, but in a game where Mercy only works if your skill stat outranks the enemy's skill stat, there is no world in which Lefina can benefit from Mercy against a Bartoll that uses Latune's stats.

If we're on the topic of pet peeves, though... When I played Moon Dwellers, I was appalled at that one GC upgrade stage where you had to protect the jets from suiciding into the boss. "This is the worst it's ever been!", I thought to myself.

Then over the course of playing 2nd OG again I realized that I'd just blocked out my memories of MP Huckebein Mk. IIs suiciding on those plant things in stage 18.

Then I remembered the similar stage in OG2... :argh:

Gimmie a not so super robot wars with smaller units and power armors. Bubblegum Crisis, Ghost in the shell, Dominion Tank Police... Sgt Frog? I'm sure they could cook up something considering the Super Heroine Chronicle exists.

Play Super Robot Wars Neo. It has a bunch of super tiny robots including Iron Leaguer where every single unit is literally child-sized.

I figured out the trick to that stage 18! You pair up RIshu + Raul, use Raul's Confuse twin command and then split up and do whatever. It only took me 4 playthrough to understand the trick and not just think that SR point is RNG bullshit. I'm good and smart. At least the MD npcs take a few turns to decide they're gonna die and defend/dodge though until turn 3 I think.

A Super Robot Wars where all the characters are robots or androids and they just fight it out themselves without any big suits. Astro Boy would be the Mazinger stand-in.

You joke but in Compact 3 Escaflowne has exactly 2 attacks for the entire game. It goes up to three if you count the one attack it has in dragon form.

That game was the most :effort: SRW I ever played.

Have some series with the smaller/less interesting robots present but like they are just doing heavy lifting tasks and whatnot onboard the main spaceship. Moving boxes of Mazinger parts around, etc.

I want an SRW where like the Gundam villains drop a colony and everything goes to hell and then everyone sits back, goes 'Oh crap that was really bad, humanity really needs to just rebuild and stop fighting' and then the rest is a simulation game where you use the robots to help with reconstruction and supply projects and the goal is to get human society back on its feet. At the end the good and bad guys all get together in a new, green Earth and share glasses of juice as they watch the sunset.

If Iczer-1 works, they should do something like Guyver next.

If Iczer and Cyborg Guy Shishioh can work then Guyver with Gigantic form as a will powerup would be rad. Let us use Rom Stoll on foot too. Something like the VOTOMs stage in Z2 where you can only bring medium units, but S or SS only with a game with enough of them would be rad. Chirico on foot with his magnum, Suzaku spinning and all the various other real good fight boys having a tiny man Fire Emblem time. Promote Ryoma from Soccer Boy to Getter Warrior.

BYDO is pretty much the ELS done right in a sense. Thinking about it, has the BYDO even been completely defeated in the R-Type series?

Every time they try some "OPERATION FINAL ATTACK" kind of plan, the BYDO come back and things manage to get even worse.

If not... put it in SRW so it'll be a first!

Yes, in (appropriately enough) R-Type Final, although there is some ambiguity from on how the multiple endings relate to one another.

It's also unclear how the strategy games relate to the STGs. They may have separate continuities.

Yeah, I was not sure how Final factored in because I always thought the PSP games were in the same continuity (and good God do things get worse in those games), and.. well, one of the Final endings pulls some time Loop shenanigans.
