Is the Super Robot Wars card game really that big in Japan?

I don’t remember seeing SRW cards in the TCG section of hobby stores here, but I wasn’t really paying attention.

Same. I'm a TCG junkie and I was always buying up whatever random crap each of my local card shops had and I never saw a single pack of SRW. Closest I ever saw was the Gundam TCG.

I was joking with a friend that the dark horse entry would be Yugi, Joey, and Tristan piloting the three components of the XYZ Dragon Cannon.

Oh wait I guess the TCG is new? Like it just started from V. In fact the TCG itself is named after V. Are they going to make a new one for each game now or are they going to add to the V one? Weird.

Someone tell me about Buddy Complex and Wataru, please.

Buddy Complex has a villain who is as unlikable but more pathetic than Embryo and I can't wait to watch him get dunked on by the entire cast (in fact I'm expecting him and Embryo to both get taken down in the same stage just so the dunks can be combined).

Holy crap after having actually looked at the card game, apparently the SRW stuff is part of a bigger meta game called Crusade, which is basically like Weiss Schwarz except mainly for mecha anime.

http://www.carddass.com/crusade/

So it's a card game where you collect cards from your favorite anime series and battle them out against each other. They've got a lot of cool series. I want the Sakura Taisen set. All of it.

Edit: So you've got a game where JoJo, the YuYu Hakusho folks and Seiya can punch out SRW mechs.

Well I'm sad that there's no IBO, but Zero, Ange, and Gaine being back is nice. Hopefully Beltorchika's Children means we get a playable Nightingale at some point. Not having Xi and Penelope back kinda blows too.

On one hand, I want to see if its units only with Cross Ange (well, just give me Ange and the Vilkiss, everyone else can kick rocks).

On the other hand, I do want to see how badly the villains in this game can dunk on Embyro (especially now that the Anti-Spirals might be involved).

It's a shame the English release is nearly a full month after the Japanese one, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose. I'm still glad we're getting this translated at all.

Gives me some extra time to watch through Nadia and Dunbine anyways.

Dammit I’m such a TCG junkie that my biggest takeaway from this morning is the existence of a card game where you can make a deck with all the SRW V and OG folks plus MKR and Sakura Taisen. And I’m taking the news that this card game stops production in March bizarrely well because nothing is cheaper than a card game no one plays anymore. Someone should be trade buddies with me and let’s collect our SRW dream roster.

You know...

I wonder if G-Reco units are going to be pilotable by UC units and vice-versa? Obviously G-Self (and obviously a few others like G-Lucifer) are going to be pilot locked but there's not actually any real reason you shouldn't be able to give Amuro the Mack Knife or Klim Nick the Hi-Nu Gundam (besides NT levels obviously) really, especially since Turn-A set the precedent.

Also god drat but some of the G-Reco units are going to be busted as poo poo. G-Lucifer is going to be insane.

It's a two-pilot unit that isn't a combiner. It's not impossible for them to make it work but usually they just settle on not allowing it. If they full-on Super Gundam it then getting what amounts to a two-person Turn-A Gundam co-piloted by Camille and Fa is going to be goddamn batshit.

My best on safe playables:
Bellri and Aida obviously for sure.
Raraya and later Noredo when Raraya gets G-Lucifer
Klim and Mick
Luin and Manny, possibly as secret recruits.
The Megafauna

Characters like Barara, Dellensen, and the G-IT Folks all could go either way as far as recruiting goes. Lesser folks like Kerbes could be attack animation'd or they could be their own crappy units based off how they handled Cross Ange. Getting a Recsnow would be hilarious but basically worthless.

Edit:

Real question: Who is going to be more broken, Ange or Kallen?

Double Edit:
Typing out G-Reco character names makes you look like you're having a seizure sometimes.

Dunbine units are all two-pilot units that aren't combiners. We'll likely get to pass around Cham between them like UX and BX.

Grungust Type 3 is a two pilot unit with swappable pilots that is only a combiner in the most technical sense. Series list is good, wanna see the OGs, Masaki made me flip. Its good.

It would be nice to go back to a real combined world thing instead of Other Dimensions All The Time, but considering the setup for two of the series is "fell through a hole from another world" I doubt it.

Orange was who Kallen was fighting in the trailer so odds are pretty good on him at least. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a post-series-with-bits-of-plot-stapled-on thing though.

.. poo poo, I just realized, we escaped Gundam SEED again! Which I am almost sad about because they were goddamn hilarious with the Cross Ange cast.

I hope CC has her pink mech again like she did in Z2, even though she piloted it for all of five seconds of screentime in the actual show. Honestly, the entire Geass + VOTOMS stuff at the start of Z2.2 is the most interesting part of the entire Z franchise to me. It's really low-powered, CC is taking an active combat role, there's so few characters that even the random side-side villains from VOTOMs get actual lines. It's fun.

Only reason I'm thinking it's not post-series is one of the promotional bits of art had the Shinkirou on it. If they were doing post-series, I'd think 'the actual canon ending' would be a more interesting thing to play with, since you'd have Suzaku pretending to be Zero and stuff. Though I guess they could go with the canon ending and either have Suzaku in the Shinkirou or have Lelouch come out of nowhere at stage 50 going 'surprise'
