ChrisBTY posted:1) Is Gurren Lagen some kind of crazy person's anime? chiasaur11 posted:1) It's an anime for MEN WHO FIGHT AGAINST DESTINY! Basically it's a tribute to old school super robot shows that goes to eleven. It's made by the team who went on to form Trigger, so it goes for over the top whenever it can. TTGL is basically expertly crafted to be a series of highs and lows in basic storytelling format, but because one of the highs is the hero spontaneously learning to teleport so he can punch his sad friend back to his senses with a yell of "GRIT YOUR TEETH" you remember the good times better. I think Rossiu was sad because he felt like he & Simon weren't on the same page anymore? IDK, nobody loving teleported in that part. As for Nadia, I respect the decision to include the series and I respect the decision not to give the main character a robot. But at the same time, I'm probably fine with not covering the story again.

Rossiu almost genocided the remaining human race with a hard decision, that's why he's sad

There was kind of a thing where Simon and gang leveraged their victory over Lord Genome to become in charge of everybody but were terrible administrators and Rossiu had to work his rear end off just to keep society operating. And then the plot bent itself into a knot to make all of Rossiu's decisions Bad and Simon's lack of any decision Good and the dude had trouble with that for a while. He cheered right up after Simon promised to take his and his gangs bullshit off planet and Rossiu became Boss of Earth.

Rossiu made a lot of tough decisions that it turned out he didn't have to because he was in an anime where yelling "nuh-uh!" louder solves all problems. The movie version where he goes "man, I hosed up" and his girlfriend slaps him instead of Simon and tells him he did good is much better. The final battle is also much better in the movie too!

EthanSteele posted:The Dunbine crew are great! Bug mechs! Fairies! Swords charged with power to shoot beams! And the Billbine is good if only because of "Aura giri-daaaAAaAAaaAaAAaaAaaaAaa" though Sho does do huge damage. Aced and with Attacker he ends up at something like +50% damage at 150 will or above and all his numbers are huge from the Custom Bonus and his really high Battler skill. He's pretty much insect mech Ryouma in terms of base damage output, but with a fairy friend instead of a fat friend. Buddy Complex however is maximum Generic Mecha Anime so its difficult to have strong feelings about it in any direction other than "oh, huh, its there I guess" so that's a natural reaction. Well more to the point, without a lot of babying the end bosses seemed to shrug off the attacks from my reals. Even Gundam Wing was at best, marginally effective. Like, I stopped attacking with the reals I brought into the battle because all it accomplished was giving the boss morale. Jill is a mediocre battler but 8sp Foresee means nobody in my army gets hit by non-map attacks unless I don't care. most of the reals in the final battles were just Daunt/Foresee/Prospect Batteries for me. I didn't have any trouble with the end really, but that's just because I leaned hard into Supers, because that's how I roll. It seems like real fans have a really hard road to hoe at the end. (But then again given how often they're mandatory deploys, I imagine even real fans probably put a bunch of resources into Supers) From the beginning part of me was hoping that Buddy Complex was some kind of a Giant Robot Terminator anime. Super disappointed when it became 'genericest anime ever'

Real robots do a whole bucketload of damage. Were you making sure to take size things into account? Ange and Kallen were both dealing out absurd amounts of damage for me.

Yeah 2 or 3 levels of ignore size made most of my Reals pretty decent damage dealers by the end. I was using the 3 Buddy Complex units, the 3 Billbine units (Marvel in Sirbine), Ange, Deathscythe Gundam, Hi-Nu(Amuro), Nightengale(Char), the G-Self, Sandrock Gundam, Kallen, Suzaku, Wataru, and Lelouch. The only ones that had real issues were Sandrock (I gave it the 5500 damage part and it still struggled) and Suzaku (because he was an underlevelled filler unit). Obviously none of them could touch the ridiculous power TTTGL, The Mazingers or Xelguard were throwing out. But they were all useful and fared better than most of the filler Supers I used in the last few missions.

I bought it for the key ones. I didn't know 3XL was a size though so they didn't have enough. Does a size S bot need level 4 ignore size to do full damage to a 3XL?

Honestly I don't put too much stock in Ignore Size given almost every Real will have a Finisher that has Ignore Size built in anyways. That said the Power Part that grants Ignore Size to every single attack is amazing when combined with Ange/Vilkiss.

Wataru is a tiny Super that does one million damage, Kallen is a tiny invincible buzzsaw too. Amuro in the Hi-Nu should be putting out as much damage as pretty much everyone else on upgrade parity.

Amuro in Reggo-Nu with a Hyper Reloader is way sicker than the Hi-Nu imo I stuck Seabrook in the Hi-nu but no one can keep up with Amuro for pure damage aside from the Mazingers.

I'm saving Amuro in the Nu for when I do a Real run and people are fighting for the Hi-Nu! Geez! Wataru does a bunch of damage as his Will goes up because Saviour is a real rude skill.

Zore posted:Is A Portable the really hard one where they jacked up enemy HP massively when they ported it to PSP? A Portable is the one that's hard because you have hilariously low accuracy, even with Reals. Amuro and Char don't even get Strike (Though hilariously, Kou of all people does). Its kind of frustrating too because A Portable was one of the last games where you can field the classic RX-78-2. It's got some cool attacks...that will never, ever hit if you deploy Amuro in the thing. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Jun 19, 2018 |

Wasn’t Lt Burning and his GM Custom of all things one of the best units in the game fully upgraded because of the bonus? Also, the low accuracy is no loving joke; always bring the AWACS Dragonar unit with you. I never got super far into A Portable but it has G Gundam! ... it also has the mother of all Don Saucer battles from what I heard.. MechaX fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jun 19, 2018 |

The one thing I remember from the GBA version was that Getter Robo Drill was the best unit because it has two different invincible dodge procs, which effectively was 100% at a high enough morale.

I remember Char's Custom Gelgoog being a solid unit too that lasted pretty far into the game for me, though IIRC its a pain in the butt to actually beat Char to get it.

Must have been doing something wrong. But Wataru was so great I didn't even realize he was tiny.

If you want cheats for A Portable...quote:_C0 Robot Parts I had to make a save on the base japanese game to get these to stick and then transfer over to the english one, but you should be able to get these to work on a PPSSPP.

I carried Amuro in the RX-78-2 all the way to the end in A Portable, feeding him like half my accuracy skill parts the whole game. He was in my top 5 for most of the game but still had like 3X% hit rates against the final boss. Just accept that you want to field all the people packing Strike/Lockon and Inspire/Attune you can get and you'll save yourself a lot of frustration. I think it's a pretty good game on a purely mechanical level. Yeah, you have to tryhard (or cheat) but it's very rewarding and it feels nice to have a game that is mostly about knowing how to use basic mechanics well instead of having to fiddle with squad systems or tac-p or whatever.

So how hard is A Portable overall? So far I've played V, X, W, Z1 and Alpha Gaiden. I did ragequit Alpha Gaiden at stage 38 or so (the one versus Turn X where you need to beat him in 7 turns) because I just couldn't chew through his mooks and his HP quick enough. I think I got 30/37 of the SR points leading up to that though.

Just got to stage 12 of X, and I'm having a couple of thoughts pop up right now: Aoba and Buddy Complex are actually growing on me despite having the most  combo attack I've really seen in this series and Aoba not getting something about time travel that was said to his face (understandable as it is given what was going on), and Nadia needs to get her poo poo in order really drat soon because her 'I don't like fighting' shtick is getting really loving old already.

Games since as early as Alpha 1 can be beaten without upgrades. Even arguably D is easy to beat once you gain access to Macross 7.
