Fixed that for you. And this is the Mark Destiny in non-SD proportions.



Anyway, I was right about not being able to catch up to you before you finish L, but congrats on that. That's one more notch on your belt, and I looking forward to another great LP from you for this game.

I think Gundam Maxter's hoverboard is more of a surfboard than skateboard, which of course means that in theory, Chibodee Crockett could hang with the Eureka 7 crew and now I want that to be in the next SRW after X.

I didn't know how much I needed that until now.

Brunom, you're speeding through this like a demon.

Also, I just want to point out the mind-boggling stupidity of:
"Only ninjas can pilot these robots."
"I can pilot the robot."
"You must be a ninja."
"No. Definitely not a ninja."
"In that case, let's go to Earth so we can find a ninja who can pilot this robot."

Ishigami is more of a practical joker and less of the cunning strategist we've seen shades of so far in UX. He has his moments of comedy in the manga, but the anime amplifies them to extreme limits.

I hope we get to see this. Having neither seen the anime nor read the manga, I'm interested in seeing the differences. So far though, the only hint that I've seen that Ishigami is not a practical joker is that his sushi wasn't being played up for laughs.

I'm still pulling for a heroic Zeon line-up including 0080, Thunderbolt, and CDA. Maybe use the MSG novels so Char can get a Gundam.

Char does not get a Gundam in the novels. The Char Aznable Custom Gundam comes from Gihren's Greed. Although Kycilia shoots Gihren in the dick from the palm of Char's Rick Dom, and then Char rotates the wrist of his MS and let's her fall to her death.

Since we're getting into Trailblazer here, I thought the thread could use a quick primer on what happened in the 00 TV series:

If anyone wants to get deeper this is a summary of S2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYPODZYHW4E

EclecticTastes posted:

I'm not all that familiar with 00 outside of SRW, what's so bad about the second season? I recall the Gundams generally being pretty rad, at least. Also, I think the big difference between Awakening of the Trailblazer and Endless Waltz is that Endless Waltz had BGMs that weren't boring. I'd include the series itself just for Daybreak's Bell and Hakanaku mo Towa wa Kanashi.

Let's put it this way. 00S1 was a departure from the way Gundam normally works. There are a lot of plot similarities to Wing, but it's really it's own beast. Of course it's Gundam so you've got a lot of pretty fights, but there's a lot of secrecy, machinations, politics, etc. Celestial Being isn't painted as the good guys so much as people that are intentionally doing wrong to bring about a better future. For people familiar with SRW OG, Celestial Being is the Divine Crusaders, but less mustache twirling evil, and more people that have severe personal issues.

S1 ends, the world has been united under a new Federation, but it's been corrupted from inception by renegade Innovades (artificial humans). Due to fan complaints, S2 was a far more by the book Gundam story. The funny names for the artificial humans don't bug me because I've seen enough Tomino anime to not get worked up over it. One of the big issues is that Lockon Stratos II doesn't fully become his own character although people saying that there's no difference between them aren't paying enough attention. Allelujah has his story arc finish up way too quickly and he becomes part of the scenery instead of a character.

It also takes one of the worst parts of Zeta, a lot of small but inconclusive battles that feel like they're just there because it's a Gundam show and we need a battle. However, I think S2 had a strong conclusion. Even if S2 is worse than S1 in my opinion, it's completely worth watching both seasons.

It's not the SEED Destiny part that's confusing me. It's a pleasant change of pace, and I can even believe something like that happening after the ending of the show. It's more that the rest of the story is confusing.

Shinn learned to be a rational human being. Luna learned to aim. This must be a sign of the apocalypse.

That could make a nice non-standard unit loss condition. On the one hand, it'd be supremely annoying to anyone that got caught by surprise with that, but it would show some real dedication to the mechanics behind the source material.

You mentioned that you could move Cham over to Marvel, right? Is the Twin Aura Attack different if you do so? (Just having Cham with Marvel instead of with Shou).

He can join Cagali and Andrew in the eternal debate of what sauce, chili or yogurt, you should have with a doner kebab. It's actually a trick question. The correct answer is just a little tomato sauce to get the wrap moist so it doesn't crack after you heat it up, and put lots and lots of thyme and pepper flakes.

Kind of surprised that Banpresto didn't go all in and give him an extra attack that has Gorg throw his Pair-Up partner/an adjacent ally unit at an enemy target, however.

Assuming the SRW GC, Neo, and OE team hasn't been poo poo-canned over the catastrophe that was OE, that's something up their alley (and they'd have it cause a map effect as well).

One thing that bums me out about UX is that Banpresto really had a chance to have fun with the ELS and what they can do, but played things safe and kept to what the ELS could do in Trailblazer proper. I mean, how could you not give us stuff like ELS Demonbane or ELS Mark Sein?

I want an ELS Libra crashing into Devil Axis while getting harassed by Festum trying to absorb it.

On the other hand, yeah, I'm also of the opinion that Gundam Raphael looks hella dumb. It gets even more ridiculous when you realize that multiple people at Sunrise created/approved that design for the movie, and had no problems with how stupid the Raphael looks.

I think Tieria and Aqua should get together and have a conversation on the relative merits of pants and belts as unconventional headgear.

Wow. That was one hell of a ride. Thanks for LPing this Brunom. There certainly are a few things here and there that could have been done better, but this really is an example of how to masterfully craft a crossover story. Even the persisting secret mechanic makes sense within the bounds of the story.
