 What game is this? This is Super Robot Wars 2G (the G stands for Gleam). This is the 1995 remake of the 1991 Super Robot Wars 2. The original was for the Famicom, and the remake that we're playing is for the Gameboy. SRW2 and by extension 2G, is the start of the classic series of Super Robot Wars. Back when it was made by WinkySoft, had no problems being "Nintendo Hard" and decided that simple things like continuity between entries in the series didn't matter. Speaking of continuity, 2G attempted to fix a few things to make the continuity work better, but ultimately was ignored when SRW 4 was remade into SRW F and F Final. Fortunately, it has the much improved battle system from Super Robot Wars 4 where you are actually allowed to select your counterattack, instead of setting an automatic response type that applied to all your units. Why LP this game? Because SRW 30 is coming out in 2 months, and it contains Victory Gundam, and so does this game! No, the real reason is that I'm a completionist at heart. While the SRW franchise is too large for me to play in its entirety, I figured I could play the Classic series. That consists of SRW 2/2G, 3, EX, and 4/F+F final. This part of the franchise doesn't get much love due to how old and janky it is. I wrapped up my SRW 1 LP that I used as a practice run, so it's time to jump into this series. Why does this intro block feel oddly familiar? Because I shamelessly stole it from the great LPer of SRW, Brunom. If I can provide even a fraction of the utility and joy that he has given the SRW community, I will have succeeded. What series are in this game?
How will you play this game? Like all of my LPs, on and off platform, it will be a video LP. I know it isn't too conducive for interaction in the forum, but I'm hoping to do a few things to get more audience participation. Unlike the original SRW 2, 2G has route splits. I know almost all SRW LPs take all splits, using alternative saves to make that work. However, I will not be doing that. For narrative reasons, I have already selected my route ahead of time. Don't worry, the other route is not going to be ignored. This game does not have a NG+ feature. However, I will build my own, with blackjack and hookers actually with cheat codes, and I'll cover the route splits we don't take on the NG+ run. Audience Participation The classic series is infamously hard. In fact, when I first mentioned I had a silly idea for what to do with SRW 2G on a SRW Discord, the first response was that SRW 2G is not forgiving of "silly ideas", before I could even share what my ideas were. 1. Fan Favorite: While the classic series is hard, I don't believe it's so hard that I need to minmax my playthrough, and bringing along a sub-optimal unit will be fine. bold your vote. I'll be keeping a running tally, not asking for votes after each mission. You can change your vote at any time. The favorite will be kept up level wise, and given some upgrade love. Not too much during the first playthrough, but I'll be much more free with money on NG+. 2. Deadpool: SRW 2G has the entire Shrike Team in the game. Maybe not all of it, but eight members of it, and that's more than your deployment limit at the start of the game. This is highly impractical, as they're all in grunt units, and don't really stand out as pilots. They won't be introduced for a few more stages. Once they do, you can send a Streamlabs tip, or subscribe or cheer on my twitch channel. You can either send money to kill someone from the Shrike Team, or to protect them. When someone has $5 more in death cash than protection cash, they will be given a brutal on-camera death, and I will treat it as a perma-kill. I hope this isn't against the monetization rules. I don't intend on shilling this every post, just keeping a tally in a title post. If it's too much, mods please let me know, and I'll keep the "Deadpool" on the stream, and remove it from the posts here. 3. Second Victory: We will get a second Victory Gundam as one of the secrets. Let me know who you want to be the pilot of it. Same rules as the Fan Favorite. Votes persist, but you can change your vote at any time. Spoiler Policy: Please don't spoil the plot of the game (what little there is the unified story). However, please feel free to spoil stuff from the shows, especially once something has already happened on-screen.

Deadpool This is the monetization section of this LP. I think this should be within the limits of the board's monetization rules, but if it goes too far, I will either reduce or eliminate it, however the mods feel will be best appropriate. Victory Gundam is directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, famously known as kill-em-all Tomino. The Shrike team is a group of mostly women pilots that die in really unfortunate ways in the series. As much as I wish that there was a secret that lets you save some of them, and ideally something like a series of secrets that require multiple runs, letting you save more on each subsequent run, until you get a perfect end where you save all of them. SRW 2G instead has all of them survive by default. You can vote through subs, bits, or streamlabs donations on my twitch channel. You can donate either to save or to kill someone. $5 more in death buck over save bucks will result in that character being defeated on-screen, and then perma-benched (the closest I can do to actually perma-killing a unit in SRW). Your options: Oliver Inoue:  Kill: 0 Save: 0 Marbet Fingerhat  Kill: 0 Save: 0 Junko Jenko  Kill: $0.45 Save: $1.55 Kate Bush  Kill: 0 Save: 0 Mahalia Merrill  Kill: 0 Save: $2 Helen Jackson  Kill: $5.03 Save: 0 Peggy Lee  Kill: 0 Save: 0 Connie Francis  Kill: 0 Save: 0 There are four more characters that will be added to this list once we get them.

Mission 1: League Militaire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I08RUOAvZI Alternate Host: Rumble Let's start off a new LP with a bang, or at least a field of destroyed mobile suits. In this episode, we start of with Usso Ewin facing off against Chronicle Asher, in a scene taken straight from Episode 1 of V Gundam. Unlike the anime, we actually shoot down Chronicle, instead of simply forcing him to retreat. Then the reinforcements arrive, and we get a bunch of allies to help shoot down some grunts. Also, I keep forgetting that the bad guys from V Gundam are the Zanscare Empire. However, in here, they're just part of the Divine Crusaders (DC). Vote!: Who do you want to be the fan favorite pilot? Usso, Amuro, Kouji, Sayaka, The Getter Team, Bright? Mark your vote in bold Lastly. I will be streaming episode 3 on my Twitch channel this Thursday (August 19) at 9PM PDT. That's midnight August 20th EDT. Adjust time zones locally as needed. I have a guest host scheduled, and a crazy idea on top of the other things I've already mentioned it. I've spoiled it to a few people on Discord, but if you love Super Robot Wars, you should stop by, I aim to impress. General Revil fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Aug 19, 2021 |

Mission 2: Tragedy of Woowig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-XR2TbyVrc Alternate Host: Rumble, Odysee A nice and simple stage, with a unique retreat condition for the boss. Metchet Rubence will retreat if there are less than four enemy units left on the stage. We see Fuala Griffon, in the cutscenes, but she is just a passenger in Metchet's Recarl. Starting today, SRW 2G will released every Saturday, unless I manage to fall behind editing.

Mission 3: Rescue Zeta Gundam This mission reveals exactly what my crazy imagination has been up to, and why releases are only going to be once a week, and why it's possible that I'll slip on that release schedule. It's split up into two parts because I was afraid I wouldn't have it all done for today. I'm still working on editing together a compressed version. Part 1 Preferred hosts: Rumble, Odysee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7rXYW2_Ewk Part 2 Preferred hosts: Rumble, Odysee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GdelcFSgrw In this mission, we decide to rescue Kamille instead of waiting for the Shrike Team. MightyPretenders asked how could anyone go wrong with Amuro, and I show exactly how. Fortunately, we're saved by a time warp. Unfortunately we continue to be stuck in that very same time warp. How many times must we rescue Kamille? How many times must one not care to admit to the mistakes of ones youth? I'll be updating the Deadpool post now that we have seen the Shrike Team. Fan Favorite Tally: Add your votes! (Note, this LP is crossposted on Something Awful, LP Zone, LP Beach, and Giant ITP) Getter Team: JamieTheD(LPB), tyckspoon (GITP) Amuro: MightPretenders (SA) Vote! Keep voting for your fan favorite. Also, vote for which member of the Shrike team gets to use the second V Gundam that we unlocked.

Mission 3: Rescue Zeta Gundam (combined video) So, if you thought I wasn't crazy enough with my last post, revealing that I actually want to play three classic era games simultaneously, I also went ahead and edited them together so you can watch me LP all three games simultaneously. The first 30ish minutes are the same between this and 3-1 from the last post, and then the fun begins after that. Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=766_OLOe_fg Please give me feedback on this video. I know my editing sucked on this one, and I have ideas to make episode 4 better. However, I'd like to know if this idea is something that even interests people. It took a lot of time to edit this video, but much of that is due to the fact that I have done actual video editing (and not just cutting down twitch streams to play on youtube) since 2008, and I'm rusty as hell (and also using FOSS editing software instead of pirating premium editing software). I'll get faster with more practice. However, if the idea doesn't interest anyone, I may just drop it and stick to the sequential format from earlier.

I would love to do the while series, but I play these games so slowly, there's no way I could ever catch up. Since you're here, do you want to drop a vote for who gets the second V Gundam and who you want to be the fan favorite? Also, what's your opinion on the two options for watching episode 3, the sequential or simultaneous/combined option? Which one is a better way of watching the LP?

Mission 4: Trick City (sequential videos) Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56LMd5dcTFw With Kamille rescued, it's time to head down to Madrid to resupply. However, our good friend Admiral Ackbar points out that "It's a trap!" The people of Madrid have been taken hostage by DC, and Michiru is forced to fight us in the Getter Queen. She barely puts up a fight. However, it's enough to claim the life of our first Shrike Team Member, Helen Jackson. RIP Helen. Yes, I know your ghost is still haunting the pilot roster, but she's definitely not selectable. No sir. Still, grieving her loss, we move on to dealing with Jerrid Mesa and Ramba Ral. However, Amuro discovered something strange  Secrets SRW 2: There is a shop near your starting position. It is the only place in the game to get a biosensor, and the only place to see, but never buy, the Minovsky Particles item as well. If you don't destroy Getter Q, she will join you as an uncontrollable allied unit until the end of stage on turn 3, then leave permanently. SRW 2 CB: If you don't destroy Getter Q, she will join you permanently on turn 3. Have Amuro land on the hangar with the blue rollup door in the city to have a conversation with Kai, and get the G Parts. SRW 2G: If you don't destroy Getter Q, she will join you permanently on turn 3. You will also take the alternate stage route, and go to Gibraltar instead of Dakar. We are going to Dakar to keep to the same path as the original, as Gibraltar is a 2G exclusive.

Mission 5: Supremacy Over Dakar (sequential videos) This is the sequential version of these videos. The simultaneously edited version will be released next Saturday. Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn2X5_3M0eo I tried editing this video to avoid getting content ID claims on Mazinger Z's Theme, and I managed to miss one and still get the claim. I'm annoyed. I didn't want to risk it with F91's theme since that's a movie, and it looks like I was successful in that regard at least. With Michiru defeated, we continue along the "canon" path, heading to Dakar to weaken DC's hold on the Federation capital. There, we encounter a lot of enemies: The Black Tri-Stars, Toros "I give a lot of money" D7, a squad of Hygoggs (the only representation 0080 has in SRW2), Char, Lalah (original and CB only), as well as Garma and Chronicle (G only). We can see some more rifts growing between the canon story and the Gleam version. In the original and complete box, we turn Lalah into sweet money and EXP. RIP Lalah, you could have been a mother to Char, and in G, we instead help Char get vengeance on the Zabi family. Be careful, if Garma is the last unit you kill, you will not get the last wave of reinforcements. Secret Alert SRW 2 and 2CB: Amuro can convince Lalah, and have her join your forces. She will only join for a few stages, and leave on mission 7 (9 by our reckoning). SRW 2G: We lost our chance to recruit Lalah by defeating Getter Q. Fan Favorite Tally: Add your votes!

I got a better mount and pop filter for the mic, don't have headphones connected to it anymore so the cable doesn't hit the mic, and I've done some basic audio post-processing. Let me know if it sounds better. Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=236WHCwIdPE The Empire Strikes Back. I mean The Divine Crusaders Strike Back. DC forces, led by Jerid, Kacricon, and the Black Tri-stars, have returned to try to take back the Federation's capitol after we conquered it last mission. They fail, but not without inflicting casualties on us. We lose two units, and one of those is even a permadeath (by coincidence, not by planning). We also lose out on some bonus dialogue with the Black Tri-stars because I let Seabook slaughter Gaia without a second thought. Vote: Fan Favorite Tally: Add your votes!

Mission 7: Wilderness of Betrayal All three versions, back to back. I've made some more audio changes. I hope they're for the better. Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d9-3jiRqg0 Who are you? The new Number 2. Who is Number 1? You are Number 4. I am not a number, I am a free woman! Bonus points if you get that reference. We're joined by longtime fan and friend of the show, Snowball! Sadly, he lost power in the middle of the stream. Oh well. That's an excuse to get him on on another stream. Four Murasame has escaped from the DC in her Psyco Gundam and is trying to seek refuge on the Argama. The Getter team thinks she may be a spy, but Kamille has a feeling that she isn't. She is allowed on. Her relief is short-lived as soon we are attacked by DC forces, led by Dozle Zabi in the Big Zam! Four thinks there's no way we could handle fighting the Big Zam ourselves, and helps fight in her Psyco Gundam. Sadly, she is captured by Baron Ashura, who then escapes with her and Dozle. Aside from that, it was a pretty easy map, but bad RNG resulted in Amuro dying. How unfortunate. Fortunately, it's not a permadeath. Vote: Fan Favorite Tally: Add your votes!

By the time I caught up with life, I just barely had time to do the Cthulhu Saves Christmas special LP that I had planned for a few months.

Although I wasn't thorough enough in scrubbing and I got hit by a copyright claim on the video. Mumble grumble, stupid youtube.  Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee Regular Host: Youtube Inside the enemy's fortress, and unable to bring along the Argama. We face a winding corridor that leads to the boss of this stage, Rhine X1. Constructed by Dr. Schtroheim Heinrich, it has fused with his gynoid "daughter", Lorelei Heinrich. This is the first mission without 2G included. 2G just had most of the enemies from inside the fortress fight us last mission outside the fortress. Upon her defeat, Lorelei reveals to us that Grendizer has been captured, and is being held by M'Quve, but that it's a trap. Vote: Fan Favorite Tally: Add your votes!

Mission 9: Combined Wow. I'm actually sticking to my release schedule who would have guessed. And I already have 2/3s of next week's release ready. I'm working hard to stay 2 weeks ahead of everything. TSE2 is 2 weeks ahead, HotJ is 1.5 weeks ahead, DAL is 1 week ahead, but with one video uploading now that will push me to 1.5 weeks ahead. The fact that this was just two sources instead of three, and the two had their dialogue line up really well made editing much easier than it could have been. 95% of the editing was done in a single day, with a little preview the day before, and a QC pass the next. The previous episode was a real pain to sync up when the dialogue wasn't synced up at all. Same as previously. This is both versions of Duel! Rhine X1 in an edited video to play simultaneously.

Mission 10: Combined This one was annoying to edit together, but nowhere near as bad as it could have been. Same as previously. This is all three versions of M'Quve's Trap in an edited video to play simultaneously.  Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee Regular Host: Youtube See the above post for voting options.

Mission 11: Winds of Revenge Two versions back to back, no 2G again. Having foiled M'Quve's trap in the previous episode, he strikes out for vengeance. M'Quve being M'Quve it is of course another trap  Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee Regular Host: Youtube This time we face missiles. We fortunately don't get hit by any, but just looking at their stats, they're powerful! We do lose Minerva X, sadly. Yes, we literally just got her last mission, and we lose her this time, but at least we get Judau. Also, if you look closely, you'll notice that I completely forgot to use the ZZ in the NES version, oops! However, I did use the no-repair trick, letting Minerva get destroyed but not have to pay a repair cost since she leaves this mission. Vote: Fan Favorite Tally: Add your votes!

Mission 11: Combined One more easy one. And my backlog is empty I blame Echoes of Mana. I've stupidly gone from daily video releases to twice a day. It's rough. Same as previously. This is all both versions of Winds of Revenge in an edited video to play simultaneously.  Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee Regular Host: Youtube See the above post for voting options.

Mission 12: Marionette Four 2G joins us once again, and we are in the nice position of being synced up. It's episode 12 of the LP, but all three games agree that they are on episode 10. The NES and PSX versions skipped the first two stages, and the gameboy version skipped two recent stages. I've made a slight change to the releases. As you know, I trim out audio sections from the PSX game because they keep getting copyright claimed. Rumble is actually even more aggressive compared to youtube on this point. However, Odysee, does not yet have such checks. Therefore, the Odysee version has the full game audio included, so use that one if you don't like the lack of music in parts of the Complete Box sections.  Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee Regular Host: Youtube With business in Odessa (and along the way) resolved, it's time to fly to Hong Kong to rearm. In Hong Kong, our brilliant tacticians decide that the smart thing to do is to split their small force into two even smaller forces to make it easier to defeat them in detail. The plan is successful in the CB version, as Amuro gets shot down, forcing me to rerecord that episode, and almost miss getting this out on time. In return, we kill Jerrid's first (of many?) girlfriends, and even recruit Four to our cause. Secret Alert! 2G: Convince Four with Kamille and she will join you on the spot. 2 (NES): Wait for the event for Four to snap out of her mind control, and then convince her with Kamille, and she will join you on the spot. 2 CB: Wait for the event for Four to snap out of her mind control. Amuro must be deployed and not shot down for the event to play out properly. Then convince her with Kamille, and she will join you on the spot. Vote: Fan Favorite Tally: Add your votes!

Missed last week's release, and I'm going to miss this week's release as well. Daily Echoes of Mana streams while also practicing for a big job interview next week are eating up all of my time, and sadly, editing this is a massive pain. If I didn't care about syncing up dialogue the way I do, it wouldn't be as much of a problem, but that's what takes up so much time. Still, I wouldn't have it any other way. As much as I hate how much time it takes, I love the end result. With luck, releases resume May 28th.

General Revil posted:With luck, releases resume May 28th. Yeah. That didn't happen. I got into Echoes of Mana, got back into Date A Live: Spirit Pledge once they released the HD version (it sucked), and then just burnt out at the end of last year. As for 2023, I think literally three good things have happened all year. But I got a crazy amount of work done and I'm back now! Sort of. I'm going to try to get back to weekly releases, but we'll see how that goes. Anyway, 14 months later, here's the next release. Mission 12: Combined In contrast to editing episode 11 together, putting this together was a real pain.  Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee Regular Host: Youtube See two posts above for secrets.

Mission 13: Wonder!! Ultimate Robo Valsion Yet another episode with all three versions covering the same material. That's mildly annoying since it means a bigger pain in editing the combo release next time, but it does mean that our episode numbers are all in sync. That's going out the window next episode, but that's for later to worry about. For now, I have another change to announce. I'm switching this to an every other week release (and yes, I know it took me three weeks to get this put out, shut up). I'm alternating Saturdays with releases of Crush Crush and Super Robot Wars. That does mean only one stage of story progression a month, but that's how it goes. Part of the reason for that change is that I actually translated the script for 2G and 2 Complete Box prior to recording them. Translated Stage 11 Script. However, this also means another change. Starting next stage, the sequential release will be in a different order. 2G will go from being the first stage, to being the last stage. This lets me play the translated NES version first, transcribe that script, and use it as a base for the translations of the other two games. This time through, I needlessly translated stuff in 2G that I could have just copied from 2 NES.  Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee Regular Host: Youtube Hong Kong has been conquered, but there is no rest for us. Matilda sends a distress call that her Medea is under attack in Shanghai. The Argama, ZZ, and F91 are all down for maintenance, and so we must scramble without them. In Shanghai, we fend off several waves of enemies to protect the Medea. We are rewarded for our effort by the appearance Bian Zoldark and Masaki Andoh. Bian eventually leaves, leaving us to his underlings, and Masaki officially joins the team. Most importantly, the Medea was carrying upgrades for our team. In 2G, we get the Nu Gundam, Getter Robo G, and Mazinger Z's Jet Scrander upgrade. In 2 Complete Box, We get the Nu Gundam and Getter Robo G as well. However, Kouji already had the Jet Scrander, and so he upgrades to Great Mazinger instead. 2 NES does not give us our upgraded units just yet. Secret Alert! 2G: If you destroyed Getter Q instead of saving Michiru, then Katejina has joined as an enemy. Fighting her with Uso leads to secret dialogue. Getting this dialogue, unlocks secret dialogues between them in later stages. Vote: Fan Favorite Tally: Add your votes!

Mission 13: Combined Preferred Hosts: Rumble, Odysee Regular Host: Youtube See above for secrets. September is going to be busy, but I think I have a sufficient buffer to not cause any delays. At this point, 2G splits off and does it's own thing with G Gundam plot, while 2 and 2 Complete Box continue on their own for a while. The 2G plot covers G Gundam for a while.
