Super Robot Wars L... I have nothing to say about this. I know nothing about this game, so I'm looking forward to this.

Brunom1 posted:: Indeed, to say nothing of that fact that we’ve no idea the fire these embers could cause if ignored. We’ve to adjust our priorities. Missing a picture of Talia here. Edit: How many SRW games have "different dimensions" as the reason some series get slammed into each other? I mean, I can get why they'd do it, makes it easier to work around some series, but still.

Brunom1 posted:To be fair, Macross F didn't really need it be another dimension. From what I can see thus far, the reason they had to do it here is to justify Iczer-1 and 3 happening at the same time. Still though, how many games use that? We've got L, the entire Z series (which is 5 games, 7 if you count special disc and Rengoku-hen) and V. Am I missing any?

Sordas Volantyr posted:It's amazing how much better this song sounds without the vocals. Like, I heard this version first, thought "Well, this is the immediate winner of the BGMs so far", decided to look up the actual OP, regretted it the second the vocals kicked in. This is more or less how I feel about the Cross Ange units theme in V. It sounds good, especially at the beginning, but when I hear it with vocals it sounds, I don't know, kinda mediocre.

Dr Pepper posted:Pretty much every SRW assumes some familiarity to at least some series in its roster. If it's not a premiere or a older series that's being given major focus then expect the cliff notes version of the introduction. Mazinger always gets this, excluding when they first did Shin and SKL.

Okay, so I know jack about Iczer-1, so can someone explain to me what's going to happen with that, since Nagisa is in a coma and, from what I gathered, that means no Iczer Robo. Is Iczer-1 just gonna hang around until Nagisa is up? Also, Godannar! Yeah!

Yeah, I honestly liked Kaikink. I wish they could've fully explored it, done a whole Victory Gundam thing with firing its own parts at the enemy as attacks, though I can tell why they didn't, since it didn't last that long, iirc.

Well, with our "Leader" here, we need to find a good place for him to sit. Oh, I know, how about this lovely bench. Don't worry Reiji, there's plenty of room for your attitude as well.

Okay, maybe Reiji can redeem himself. But honestly, not off to a great start. Even if he comes in at 40% upgrade, I probably wouldn't use him unless he gets redeemed, solely because of his attitude (but obviously not up to me, so unless you do a vote, don't worry about it). It's basically why I bench Katz and Destiny-era Kira. Though to be fair to him, I agree with his decision to go at Kouichi. My problem is that he gets introduced as the leader, with our guys getting no say in the matter, and then goes about saying our guys suck and that we have to do what he says, demanding respect as the leader, but not earning it, with Yamashita being two steps away from kissing the ground he walks on. That is my issue with him. But yeah, if he does get redeemed, I'll accept it.

Onmi posted:To be quite fair, he says that every individual pilot is an exceptional one, but they have no coordination in working as an army, that's how they suck. He's the kind of guy who likely finds it very awkward to compliment someone and to lighten up off the rear end in a top hat button, hence why his compliment to Yamashita is basically "Yeah you didn't perform perfectly but you've really grown." He's clearly praising his subordinate for having grown, but he lacks the proper tact to phrase "But you have room for improvement" as anything but "It wasn't perfect." Yeah, okay, I can see that. Maybe it's just not liking him getting made leader and already pushing his weight around. Maybe he's just not good talking to people. But I'll wait to see how things go before feeling if I was wrong about him or not.

Oh hey, we're finally getting back to these guys. And unlike with Z, this time the Federation (or Alliance or OMNI or whatever) didn't feel like getting involved at all. If this was the Marvel-verse (comics, not movies) I'm sure that the civilians would still blame our guys despite our guys doing all they can to help and the Feddie guys doing absolutely nothing (though I'm not holding out for the civilians of this game to be much better). Also, Iczer-1 in space... No, no. It's too early to reference HIM.

Onmi posted:I like to think this puts to rest the thoughts that Reiji's just a hardass thinking that everyone's poo poo. You can see here that he has a very good reason for wanting Ichitaka to leave and get to safety, but if Ichitaka shows his determination to stay, then Reiji will back down and let him, rather than try to force him to do otherwise or scream about insubordination. Yep, I concede. Bad first impression, but he's clearly not a dick, just not good with people.

Brunom1 posted:: Can the Athhas not take care of anything?! No, no they cannot. I think the Athha way is to do the dumbest possible thing, as evidenced by Cagalli's father killing himself and his entire power base, and something Cagalli ends up doing in Destiny. Though I don't know if she does it in L.

Brunom1 posted:Oh, but to be fair, L Cagalli has at least so far shown herself to be a better leader that daddy-o: she got Orb to join in on the UN's bid to fight the Darius and whatnot and actively told Athrun to get out there and help protect the world (...with Durandal, but, hey). True, but being better than her father (whose name I only just remembered, Uzumi) doesn't say much.

Onmi posted:To be fair, Relena NEVER gave the slightest bit of a gently caress for the people who kidnapped her. Seriously, actually go back and look at Wing, even when in obvious captivity she basically only has contempt for the people doing so. I mean she was brought to an Oz party after basically being kidnapped by Oz and shot at Une. When she was brought by the Romefeller foundation to be a figurehead her response was to completely blow them off and say what she wanted too anyway. Even when she was going to the Libra her response was basically "I'm going to convince my brother to stop fighting and you can really just put all those Guns down because I don't care." This is one of the things people seem to forget about Relena. Even when she's captured, she retains the same level of calm. There is no doubt in my mind that between Relena and Heero, we know who really wears the metaphorical pants.

I forgot all about the Black Tri-Star knockoffs. Really, they exemplify some of the worst parts of SEED and SEED Destiny (and before you bring up other series doing it, these two do it the worst): Just casually taking things from Gundam and altering it juuuust enough that they could claim it's an "homage" or something rather than just being lazy. Also, acronyms. They're also flat characters, which is more of an issue here than with the Tri-Stars who lasted all of 2 episodes (except for one of them, who only lasted one), mainly because flatness is the name of the game with SEED. Seriously, all they have is being discount (and I'm talking 90% off here!) Black Tri-Stars and being stupidly devoted to Lacus (and that's not me hating Lacus, though I do, it's just blind "For Lacus-sama's sake!" devotion). What was even the point other than going "Look, look! We have DOMs, and Black Tri-Stars! See all this cool stuff we stole-I mean, homaged to Gundam!"?

Brunom1 posted:In my defense, the original line is "どうしてラクスを!?" which, one, completely lacks any verbs and left it up to me to fill in the blanks; and, two, the way I originally ran this ABSOLUTELY sounds like something Kira would say. Huh, guess I was so shocked by how bad that song was I completely missed Destiny Kira being Destiny Kira. And some people wonder why Kira never leaves the bench in my playthroughs, except for when the game makes me use him.
