It's good you people are explaining this now because my main series strategy has been

- upgrade weapons a lot
- get base stats to 50% upgraded

Good to know OG is different

My SRW strategy was always DEPLOY ALL MAZINGERS AND GETTERS

did I come to like the anime so much because it's favored in SRW, or is it favored in SRW for the same reasons that I like it so much?

Yes.

Really though, it owns, a lot.

Dear SRW thread, am I mis-remembering something, or was there some kind of shoujo anime crossover game on like the (first) playstation? Something with a bunch of old magical girl shows and stuff?

I know Super Heroine Chronicle is a thing on PS3 but that's not what I'm thinking of.

Yeah it seems like a pretty fuckin weird game. In my hazy memory I was thinking it had pretty bad graphics and now that I looked up a video uh loving confirmed holy poo poo. Just..WEIRD choices on the art. It seems like when still the characters are a fairly poor 2D sprite but when moving they temporarily become fairly poor 3D models.

The fact that Ryusei hasn't grown out his sideburns to match hot-blooded super robot pilots is astounding.

Unless there's some very weird dress code regulations in the OG universe, wherein mustaches and mullets are fine, but mutton chops are a no-go.

I grow my sideburns out most of the time and if anyone asks i just say I have to be prepared in case I ever need to pilot a super robot.

edit: maybe I should start saying "again" at the end there

I never did understand the colors not matching.

Some of the later shows keep it and some "fix" it, and then the show before the current one went and introduced three trainee pilots that acted like subpilots and provided specific powerups. That show also had the idea if different Voltron forms by having diffent lions form the core which was neat.

Throw in all the shows, crisis on infinate Voltrons.

Put Godzilla in a good game for once.

If Godzilla is playable he's unbalanced strong. If he's an enemy he's unbalanced strong. If he is not unbalanced strong, he is not Godzilla.

Maybe you could have stages where you need to like dodge collateral damage from a Godzilla-adjacent incident or rescue civilians or just get the gently caress out of the danger zone though.

you have to at least be pretending to have the trappings of a giant robot show, Tekkaman Blade and Orgun happened because you could believe they were robots if nobody told you otherwise and they hit the same plot beats, Miku happened because it was Virtual On, Yamato happened because battleships are in goddamn every show and I have no idea why since they never have significant merchandise

people that look wholly human are allowed but not as the main character, more or less. only examples I can even think of as side units are that dude from Linebarrels, I think Renais at one point in W, I think one of those Macross 7 space elf people, Fighter Roar going space-surfing, and...does Muge Zorbados count

drrockso20 posted:

Similar reason why they should add Mazinger Angels in some day

These posts solve themselves. Cutey Honey had a giant Cutey Honey robot in Mazinger Angels.

As always when we start talking about this concept in the thread, I say bring on the ladies only* SRW taking place in a setting based on post-series Godannar. The men can't pilot anymore, they'll get the "was too much of a hotblood super robot pilot" disease if they do!!

*actually you could totally still have like Ryoma refusing to stop piloting a Getter or whatever and maybe have some kind of system that lets you use dudes a certain number of times before succumbing to rabid syndrome. Perhaps even turning them into enemies! Could be neat.

I think it would be cool the get Captain Harlock in one of these games, (and make sure Crossbone Gundam is in it as well of course.) If you do a two part game, you can have the original TV series Harlock in the first one and then do Endless Odyssey Harlock for the second game. The running joke in the second one would be that every non Harlock character says the something about the Arcadia looks different but they can't put their finger on it. They you drive your battleship through the enemies with your giant knife.

For some reason I'm imagining the Macross throwing the Arcadia like a javelin.

In universe the late One Year War Zeon suits were just as good as the Gundam. If you wanted to include the original Gundam in SRW and feel the need to give some sort of gameplay justification for it still being good you just have to give Amuro stats so high that his piloting overcomes any weakness that the suit has. That is the main reason it was so good later in 0079 anyway. Also give it Tobe! Gundam as its theme music because that would also make it the best mobile suit in the game.

Maybe Amuro is like the only person ever who actually read the manual for his robot.

This just reminds me of Getter Robo Daikessen, with the Getter Zan.

The more Mazingers and Getters I can field at once, the better. I love when Mazingers get upgrades but the old ones stay, so eventually Sayaka and Boss can get Mazingers too.

In fact let's just get to the point where there's a Mazinger upgrade so large it can launch the first model as it's rocket punch.
