His ultimate dream was to be ridden by Sanger. This is Fact.

EDIT: Shine's crush on Rai is actually pretty good, because last I checked, OG let subpilots count for relationship bonuses. All you have to do is put Shine next to the SRX for a nice little damage boost.

No, no, Shine loves Rai and not the other way around. The Fairlion gets a boost from being next to the SRX.

So I've just finished playing through the 4 stage demo patch for A Portable, and drat this game is a lot more enjoyable in English, and I like what they did with Lamia's 'accent'. I'm really looking forward to the full release, which should hopefully be in the next year or so considering they've translated 41% of the game (though sadly it's unlikely we'll get a new demo patch that continues beyond the game's intro)

How do they handle it? I feel the best way to do it would be to stack random affirmative prepositions and adverbs onto the ends of her sentences.

The Nadesico is good, but it's no Valzacard/Max Jenius Battle 7/Zero Ikaruga.

The Valzacard hits the damage cap. That doesn't happen in Super Robot Wars.

Have you monkeyed with custom soundtrack options in SRW, yet? You don't really select music for listening, rather you assign different theme songs to play during each unit's animations (on a per-unit basis, with a few exceptions). Instead of putting on Darude - Sandstorm, you set it so that Darude - Sandstorm plays whenever Shin Mazinkaiser attacks and maybe also that Chuck Mangione - Feels So Good plays whenever Shin Getter-1 attacks.

What does the skill Stat relate to? It's the only one I can't figure out. Also, what are people going after first in the skill tree thing?

Edit: and cpb attributes for attacks, that's the other thing I can't figure out.

I don't have V in my hands yet, but Skill traditionally determines critical hit rate and pilot ability trigger rate (Deflect, Intercept, Attack Again, Counter, Shield Defense, however they translate these).

My biggest problem with Cross Ange is that I'm absolutely certain Nine's bonus TacP for understanding people comes from interactions on the field, and twice in a row I've had her walk into the Cross Ange Locker Room and they all told her to gently caress off. The first time it happened, she was like, "I guess I haven't had a proper introduction," like it's somehow my fault that I didn't want to use a dozen useless maniacs.

Hell, if they didn't force deploy literally all of them on their introductory mission, they would rot at 0 kills forever. I was actually relieved when I thought they were all going to die.



edit: My one consolation is that for the last 10 missions, Ryoma and the Black Getter have been making a mess somewhere in the Cross Ange/Gundam SEED Destiny rear end in a top hat world.

Okay, so I'm 100% sure that there's a secret bonus TacP objective on every stage once Nine is introduced, and it functions like old SR points (do something plotty). I also got a Secret Scenario (Black Might Gaine, possibly a secret unit, too?) for doing the latest one (beating Hiryu using only Mightgaine).

Other oddities: If you take 0 damage, Persist doesn't wear off. The Recommended slots in the Factory are the primary source of Parts once it's unlocked, and parts that show up there usually aren't available in the main Factory menu.

The trick isn't nearly as hard as you think. If you think a character is gonna have a conversation with a boss, have that character attack the boss, then go to the Factory for the conversation. For what I just did, on Scenario 17, don't fight Joe the Ace with anybody except Mightgaine, and it'll give you a Tac conversation at the Factory that opens up the Black Mightgaine mission. You get 100 TacP for the conversation and another 300 if you visit the Factory after completing the mission.


edit: Also, when asked, go to the party

But seriously, though, gently caress Cross Ange.

They fixed Prince of Darkness. Kappei called Akito out in a graveyard, Akito apologizes and joins your group, you go to Mars and clean the place out immediately after hitting Amaterasu, and then loving dragons ruin everything. What's worse, after everybody gets universe-hopped due to Yurika saving everybody from dragons, the Cross Ange idiots start talking poo poo about the new Earth. THEN, when Soji (who is a very cool dude and a good original) is like, "Ladies, that's not very polite," they outright tell him to buzz off.

Finishing the scenario chart is gonna be agony. I hate these people and I hate everything from their show. They shoulda just skipped airtighting their stupid Para Mails and went all "oops, they must've suffocated" after dropping them into space.

I went and watched Cross Ange while waiting for this to come out. You might not believe it, but at least relatively, this is fixed for it. Ange's like a hundred times better.

Hilda's actually possibly an even bigger dick, though. Might just be more opportunities for dickery.

(you should spoiler your quote like in my edit)

That's what has me worried. I was wondering whether the show got handled straight because it's the debut or if the show got fixed. I've never seen Cross Ange, mind.

Day 1: Holy poo poo, Gravity Wave Beam has infinite range.
Day 2: Holy poo poo, the Black Selena's Custom Bonus gives it a Gravity Wave Antennae!
Day 3: HOLY poo poo GRAVITY WAVE ANTENNAE IS A POWER PART

And with that, Kappei got the "kill 10 enemies in 1 stage" trophy by Moon Attacking 5 times a turn for 5 turns straight.


Since Akurasu hasn't updated, yet:
Black Selena: Gains Gravity Wave Antennae ability. Move +1.
Mightgaine: Drive Wheel Sword weapons +250 attack power. EN +50. Move + 1.
nu Gundam: Newtype weapons have increased attack power, depending on the Newtype level of the pilot.
Unicorn Gundam: Newtype weapons have increased attack power, depending on the Newtype level of the pilot.
00 QAN[T]: Allies within 2 spaces are unaffected by special weapons. EN +100.
Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai Kai: All CQB weapons gain Barrier Buster and CRT is increased by 30.
Gundam ZZ: Hi Mega Cannon weapons cost 20 less EN and require 10 less Focus.
Zambot 3: Zambot Moon Attack is always a critical hit on Night and Space maps.
VangRay: +1 Power Parts slot.
Space Battleship Yamato: +1 Power Parts slot.
Nadesico: Gravity Blast weapons cost 25 less EN. EN +80.
Great Mazinger: Armor +300. EN +50.
Black Getter: All weapons gain S Rank on all terrain types.

Soji: +10% Damage. +1 Move.
Maito: 100 TacP from President.

I'm doing this manually, so please post whatever custom and ace bonuses you don't see, here. This is my first truly blind playthrough of an SRW which feels really cool, but I'm always worried I'm gonna upgrade or ace somebody who has a really lame bonus.


Also, Nine's Encouragement is the most broken item in the game. Nobody has Valor yet, but I set up a 23k damage single hit from a level 23 Mightgaine using the NE Bravery cast and Smash Hit.

That said, this is my first custom mp3 SRW and holy cow. Just changing everybody's songs from their OP songs to their series' respective battle music feels so much cooler. I even Black, Shin, and Shin 2+3 separate songs. That doesn't even touch on the finishers-- my ZZ has 3 different songs (Silent Voice normally, Judau in Space for the Map weapon, and Activate!! ZZ!! for HMCFP). No wonder Judau's one of my top aces.

The really bizarre thing is that Evas don't get full regen when they're plugged in, and they don't have to worry about the length of the cord, either.


I should note that GWA only provides regen if you field the Nadesico. You have to use the factory regen item if you want it all the time.

Ryouma's ace bonus boosts damage at 170 focus (which is the max you can get with the enhancers), which, given that it's Shin Getter, works out to a pretty big boost, while Shinji eventually unlocks Awakened 01 that activates at 170 focus.

Is Awakened 01 an ace bonus or an upgrade?

I've kept Ange (and everybody else from that show) away from the battlefield out of sheer loathing, and I know for a fact it's cost me TAC points.


My primary recommendation for making her useful: Spiral Effector. Ignore Size and Barrier Buster, with +CQB damage as icing. It's way better on the QAN[T], though.

33 missions in, and my top aces are Soji, Maito, Akito, Kappei, Okita. Akito in particular has been an engine of death since he can reliably pierce barriers and comes with Potential 9. Black Selena's custom bonus lets you spam finishers endlessly, IFS gives huge boosts if you up his Focus limit, he's fast as gently caress, Distortion Fields are great (and even better once Potential kicks in), and he gets a better version of Kappei's Ace bonus. Change his music to Let's Go Geki-Ganger III and you've got a winner.
