The best cross series combination attack is the Dancouger one from Z2.2 because they fist bump in the end.

I'm still kind of upset that the original Dancouger didn't show up in Z3.

So Hi-Nu and Nightingale have to be in this right? Hathaway's Flash is the sequel to the novel that they originally come from so if they are going to ever have them them in a game again this seems like the time to do it.

After the first route split the next stage just started and it is titled a Secret Scenario and it is not numbered. It seems to be about Black Mightgaine. Anybody else get this?

Just save all your points to buy the second upgrade in the Factory as soon as possible. That in addition to Might Gaine's skill that gives 50 every battle, the main character randomly giving you 50 or 100 points, and sub orders giving you 100 every stage give you way more than you need.

I've never noticed this in the other games but on the Mech Info screen it has each units official name. Most of them are just the same as the usual name but Eva Unit 1's is All-Purpose Humanoid Decisive Battle Weapon Artificial Human Evangelion Prototype Unit-01 which is amazing.

So did anybody else get a secret stage the stage after you get Mazinger Zero? It was an Eva stage and I got Units 8 and 13. I assume Unit 13 was the secret and I'd have gotten 8 regardless but I just wanted to check.

Being able to start Shinji at 85% sync ratio and 145 morale really makes achieving evolution really easy.

He also has the spirit that gives 30 Focus. At first I was like 170 Focus that going to be a pain but now I can get that turn 1 before even moving.

Yeah, it was after Stage 42. I got the Secret Scenario trophy for it and everything so I guess it's another secret. It's a super-easy stage that just vomits items and money at you though so a pretty nice secret.

I got that one. I was kind of disappointed when Secret Scenario popped up and I didn't any sort of new attack or character.

You know what, I didn't. I forgot I even had that option on that stage. So just missing one ability on a map can screw you over for the true ending? that sucks.

They should have just not had her in the Souji route or made her a mechanic. The inexperienced pilot character doesn't work in a story where they don't pilot.

That's pretty much what happens, though? After they end up in the relatively peaceful AD world Chitose gets off the Yamato's Wild Ride and doesn't show up again until the Gardim plot rears its head in the endgame.

Yeah but I thought even that was too much. She feels like dead weight from the moment she shows up and doesn't really add much at the end.

So is V better than the Z2/3 series? They're all available on PSN but they're both significant investments so I figure I'm only going to get one or the other at this point.

I also think V is better but if you ever decide to get the Z games 2 is better than 3.

Wasn't the big reveal that the whole alt-dimensional fight thing was just entertainment for some kind of space god? That's pretty easy set up for an SRW game.

That was the anime. In the manga it just a weird naturally occurring thing to pare down universes.

More seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if they're simply transported from another Earth.

They have used the multiple Earths thing too many times in recent games. The fact that a group of what are basically mercenaries exists shouldn't be that hard to explain.

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.

Loran read his, but I don't think he was a very good reader because he definitely skipped over the chapter about how to use nanomachines to make the Turn A do whatever you want it to.

Caphi posted:

Outdated robots regularly get "internal tune-ups" to jack up their stats if necessary. I think this happened to Mazinger if you took the option to pick it instead of Mazinkaiser in Alpha?

Yeah, that is what they would probably do I just think making Amuro into the Gundam version of Chirico is a cooler way to represent that.

Kanos posted:

The Mk2 was explicitly designed cheaply because it is basically a mass production suit instead of an expensive prototype. It actually uses dramatically shittier armor than the original Gundam but is faster and more maneuverable because it's the beginning of the understanding that it doesn't matter how much armor you pile onto a suit if it gets wiped out by a single beam rifle hit anyway. It being built lovely and cheap is illustrated by the fact that it's horribly obsolete before Zeta is even half over, to the point where they have to bolt the G-Defenser to it just to keep it competitive with random Titans grunt suits.

Tell that to my girl Elle who might be the single greatest pilot in the Universal Century.

NT-D technically works if you're not a NT but it burns the pilot out super quick. The intended goal was theoretically to create a system that allows Oldtypes to defeat Newtypes but ironically only Newtypes can use it without dying.

Don't the controls pull away and leave the pilot as a human spark plug? I did always think it was weird that you needed Newtypes in your weapon designed to kill Newtypes.

Well then when they go into NT-D their Will drops to 50.
