I can't find one for X or T though. So not THAT long ago. Kchama fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Oct 11, 2021 |

I mean, we got BGM at the reveal; Sleeping Beast and Divine Beast are The Actual Theme Songs for Edge and Az. We've seen they serve as their combat themes during the first stage.

Biggest bomb from this video is that the ship isn't just "about 2 km long" - it's 2021 meters!

The BX trailer is kind of telling, actually. Notice how Macross Frontier, Raijinoh, and Nadesico weren't using BGMs anyone would ever actually use (BX was one of the lucky games to get decent music from Nadesico). I'm assuming this means they couldn't get approval to use Dream Shift, You Get To Burning, or any of the Macross Frontier tracks. Whether it's a money thing or simply a matter of permission is unclear, but it seems there's a non-zero amount of red tape involved.

About the same size as the Wunder, which means that lol whenever Evangelion 3/3+1 go in we're going to be using a 3L battleship with an AT field.

I think Terada even mentions it in part 2 when Leanne's seiyuu attacks with V-Dash Gundam, that normally you'd hear its theme song, but for the demo they have to use a generic BGM. If there will be a BGM version of any of the PVs, I bet it's limited to retail demos.

"Prick"? I thought Cross Ange wasn't in the game. Lemme kill Embryo again! EclecticTastes posted:The BX trailer is kind of telling, actually.

Like MacF has always weirdly defaulted to The Target. And Raijinoh had not Dream Shift for its finisher theme pretty much always. Also isn't You Get To Burning like, the most common theme for Nadesico in SRW? Kchama fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Oct 12, 2021 |

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but this looks like the closest to an actual SRW megathread. I just started V on the Switch, I'm 5 missions in (played through mission 6, and accidentally blew up the cruiser that triggers the end of the mission before I destroyed the ship for the bonus objective). Is there a way to find out what the various pilot skills or stats do? And do I need to worry about upgrading a pilot/mech only for them to leave or "upgrade" to a new mech, and not carry over the upgrades bought for the older mech?

And no one in V permanently leaves, they'll always come back at some point. As for mechs, upgrades carryover so don't worry about that.

I finished a rewatch of Gridman yesterday with my girlfriend, god what a great show. It did annoy me for SRW 30 though, since it had a lot of stuff for the Gridman forms but we know they'll just be one attack each for Gridman instead of playable forms. At least the one attack we saw looks really good.

Like some of them could be gattais, but like Gridman Calibur is better off just an attack.

There should be an option under "System" for something like Encyclopedia or something similar that explains what each pilot ability does. You can also hit a button (not sure which, I think it's the Options button on PS4 but if you're on PC I don't know which one it is) that brings up a cursor you can use to click on various things to get information on the Pilot or Unit screens.

The encyclopedia covers some skills/traits, but not things like "Newtype". So right now, I have Gundams that have sub-50% chance of getting hit from an attack, while Black Getter has a 100% of eating each hit, presumably because Ryoma thinks evading is for wusses (I haven't seen the Getter series, so that may actually be the case, though apparently its just because Newtype gives a bonus to evasion)

V uses different translations for abilities/skills/spirits in different places which can be confusing. Like Valor is translated as Valor and Hot-Blooded which makes the encyclopedia hard to parse and at least one Ace upgrade seem nonsensical.

If you check, the Gundam will have a lot higher Mobility than the Black Getter, which is the stat used for Evasion on units. Also, Amuro's related stat is also much higher than Ryoma's. Also in general, Newtype is +Accuracy/Evasion, +DMG to Newtype weapons like Fin Funnel, and +Range to Newtype Weapons at high Newtype level.

Off the top of my head, Tobia has a Valor/Hot-Blooded mixup, while Banagher says Awaken instead of Zeal.

Yeah almost all of the Gridman forms in the show basically do one, maybe two things total in their singular appearances. If they were included as actual form changes they would have like two attacks each, maximum. Kanos fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Oct 12, 2021 |

Even a non-Newtype will dodge a lot better because Gundams are just fundamentally built to be dodgy. On the other hand, Getters usually have more armor and will take hits much better. I don't have V specifically, but the basic stats across pretty much all SRW games are usually as follows: Pilot:

Last few questions for now: Do I need to worry about "trap options" when buying things with TacPoints, or is the game generous when it comes to TacPoints? And is there anything vital I should know before I get too far into the game?

And is there anything vital I should know before I get too far into the game? You probably want to save them at first. In a few chapters you'll unlock a 'Factory' where you can spend them for some universal buffs which will unlock some other stuff including a choice between a passive to get more Tac points, get more money or get both but less than the dedicated buff. Go for the tac points as you'll always be more limited on them than money. After that feel free to go wild.

absolutely do not, ever, restart to try and 'optimize' things lmao. super robot wars games are incredibly easy. seriously just dont worry about it. itll be fine. the appeal of these games is just being able to do whatever you want and slap upgrades on whoever you like the most, not on being a nailbiting tactical challenge. the only way to make the games actually hard is to intentionally spend nothing. and even then it's not that hard. just have fun

Going to append an asterisk here and say this statement doesn't apply to the older Winkysoft games or A Portable, which will absolutely run you into the dirt if you don't do optimal play. For the recent games, though, you're good to take it nice and easy. Also, part 3 of 30's mission 1 has been up for a few hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0fl77UR6QA

It kind of bothers me how close those original enemies are to just being Gazas. Also the upgrade bars are in three sets of five with the last set appearing to not be selectable at the start. I wonder if they are going to do the unthinkable and have three full upgrade style bonuses instead of the two they’ve been doing recently.
