Looks like its a primarily melee attacker. I'm pretty sure the Vangray and upgrades were exclusively ranged right?

Vangray was ranged but you could choose between ranged/melee upgrades.

Probably just doing the opposite this time.

It was just Real/Super as a choice. Almkst all of the VangNex and GranVangs attacks ran off ranged including their finishers.

For me the stages that are the worst are the early game ones where you are dealing with a full enemy load but you only have a couple units, at least one or two you just got so they aren't as useful as they could be, those ones are often annoying to play(the stage in V where you first get Great Mazinger and Black Getter is a prime example of this)

I swear every SRW game that I have played to completion have a bell curve with this poo poo.

The early stages are very meh because you're fighting either no enemies on giant maps with very few ally units, or you're fighting a poo poo ton of enemies on giant maps with very few ally units.

The mid-game is always great because units are going through mid-series upgrades, you're getting more units, and the enemies have HP ratios that aren't complete slogs but they aren't total push overs either.

And then you get to late game where every enemy is Broly.

I assume they will correct the spelling on Vortex. And maybe Ignis, but definitely Vortex.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I've got a quick SR Point question for SRW V: I'm on Chapter 10 with the SR objective to defeat Wolfgang. I've got Mightgaine stacked with Orders to guarantee a critical and ignore all defenses/size differences, as well as Soji on deck with the same setup to act as the Support, both using their most powerful attacks but I'm always coming up short by a couple hundred HP. Is there a trick I'm missing? Or is this just a situation where I have to scratch him as close to 5500 as possible before going all out? I usually go for it around 6000-6500 because I don't want to risk creeping over the line. That's what I figure the situation is and I realize I can just get it on NG+ but I'm just asking to make sure there isn't some trick, like I don't have enough units to surround him (and have a Support attack) and I don't have Valor or anything like that.

It's definitely not in latin, at least, because Tempesta is a word in catalan and italian and not latin, so I'm not too sure about that being Ignis either. However, dogma is latin, so who knows what the hell they are doing.

Can you surround Wolfgang on all 4 sides for the damage bonus you get from that?

No! There is a secret to it! It only took me 5 runs to figure it out! You pair up Rishu and Raul so you can use Raul's twin command Confuse and then you split and play as normal and the NPCs are invincible!

You figured out the trick, you need to get him closer to the threshold. Use someone's trash vulcan attack to get him to ~5700 and you should be good loaded up with ignored defence and guaranteed crit. Throw in Analyze if anyone has it + the surround bonus combined with Soji's guaranteed support crit and it should be ok.

cross ange itself is an uneven mess with a few really, really bad moments but its implementation in SRWV is pretty strong

Yeah, Cross Ange ends up supporting a lot of the other series really well in V. The Leonard/Embryo stuff in particular is pretty great.

Ange herself is also one of the most ridiculous units in the game too.

Yeah, I don't like Cross Ange at all but it works really well in V's crossover. Such is the miracle of SRW.

They stuck pretty close to canon with Yamato, to the point where Akira only gets a separate unit for, like, one stage. I don't see why they would do anything different with Nadia.

Nadia is the only Gainax thing I know basically nothing about. There aren't any condensed movies or anything I can watch before X comes out, are there?

There's a movie where the first 30 or so minutes is a recap but it sucks.

Nadia is a good show though so its worth taking the time to watch. Even the relatively bad "Island arc" of the series has some kind of neat beats in it.

These days I just can't stand the format of TV anime. Each episode is like a tiny speck of meaningful new content surrounded by recaps and unnecessary explanations of things. A condensed movie version usually cuts most of that stuff out.

edit: I like SRW better because the text appears page at a time and I can read it waaaaay faster than the equivalent stuff happens in a TV anime.
