ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST

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.

Well we also didn't get 00 again, which is also sad because no more Heero/Setsuna bromance.

No Macross, not even the new one. So it seems like that franchise is just gone forever in the future as long as they keep doing these SEA translations.

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'

While very true it also wouldn't be the first time a franchise has a 'final' ending and the SRW adaptation found excuse to bring back units. You know, I wonder if Cross Ange and Geass are going to be the two series paired up. They actually have enough similarities I could see it being pretty fun.

Two members of royalty, one used as a political bargaining chip before gaining magical powers, the other, sent to prison to have a really bad time because she didn't have magical powers, but then she did have magical song powers. The worst buddy cop show.

What sticks out to me is that the stuff that isn't in space or some form of Gundam-adjacent seems heavy on the magic and over-science. Cross Ange, Nadia, Dunbine, I think Wataru, Code Geass, and in that context I'm going to argue for Mazinger and Gurren-Lagann (they're supers with ordinary bullshit super power sources, but they've got a bit of magic black box sauce instead of just being built by some genius). Hell, the bonus unit is now Cybuster.

Somewhat sad we didn't get Linebarrels with Cross Ange just because I could see Ange and Kouichi butting heads over everything until later when they just get into ridiculous competitions over kill counts. Also, their mechs are somewhat similar, teleporting super units that can kinda gently caress with space time shenanigans, I could see them sharing a lot of event stages.

Huh. I just realized Daitarn made it in without Zambot. That's weird. I wonder if they have some reason for it considering those two have been paired at the hip since they got combo attacks.

Ok, quick question IRT Daitarn.
Has there ever been a more indestructible player unit in any SRW game that wasn't a flagship?

Also, not thrilled to see Cross Ange again.
Once was fine.
(Of note: I have no familiarity with the anime)

Stoked to see Mightgain back though.
Maito is my hero.

No Getter? I thought that a foundational series for SRW.

Wish they would put Gao Gai Gar into one of these so I can see what the big deal is.

Flagship in what way? Because there are some goddamn invincible units out there, like 'take 10 HP damage from the final boss' invincible.

Except for Gurren Lagen. I don't need to get hype for drills. (Deng Ai might be my favorite Dynasty Warriors character)

I don't think they could put Gao Gai Gar into the same game as Gurren Lagann. Or if they did, they'd have to have some cutscene event combining the Goldion Hammer and the Giga Drill Breaker, but not an actual combo attack because we can't have real cross-series combos.

I too, am glad for no more SEED. BUt if the price we have to pay for that is Reco in G...

How many ships are we looking at here? It seems like we can count on the Nautilus, Isurugi, Dai Gurren, and at least one from UC. There's apparently a ship from Buddy Complex and I don't know if they have one in G-Reco.

It's actually kind of weird suddenly not having the Eternal, Ptolemaios, and Tuatha, but I'm sure we'll survive. Shin Dragon, though...

G-Reco has a carrier called the Megafauna which is pretty much assured to be in.

I watched a digest for the second series, Wataru 2 (not included in this game), where Wataru and Ryujinmaru went into space by having a giant ACME-style cartoon fireworks rocket tied to its back with a lot of rope.

It's not out of the question.

are you gonna tell me you absolutely have no way of using Buddy Complex's Supreme Time Fuckery to somehow transition between part 1 and 2 of Gurren Lagann and you'll only be using the latter

all you have to do is have said Time Fuckery engulf the newly founded Kamina City and there you go

Eh the time fuckery in Buddy Complex has to be a very specific amount of time to make any sense that might not work with Gurren Lagann.
