How many of you faggots played this? Probably the best game I've ever played. Never been topped. Gameplay is incredible, story is meta and funny while still being engaging, music and aesthetics were kickass. Multiplayer NEVER gets boring. Seriously. Find me a better game.
>>337871787
Damn dude that's cold
>>337871696
Agreed. Fuck off melee, this is the best game on the gamecube. I'm so sad there hasn't been a sequel for ages.
>>337871696
>game play never gets borring
Me and my brothers kinda ruined it. We kept redeveloping our meta (ignoring illegal parts) until we got to simply the on of the heavy models with a sniper gun. Just wait for them to attack and trade with a shot from the sniper, will win the majority of the time.
3ds game was a little more balanced bit kinda lacks die to no 4 player.
>>337871696
>story is meta
this is in no way a positive
>>337872118
There was a shitty thing for the DS, but I couldn't even make it through.
>>337872175
Really? I found the sniper to be one of the worst PvP weapons out there. No real coverage, other than the line between you and the enemy.
>>337872232
if you like ignoring how ridiculous video games really are, sure! But I like a healthy dose of self-consciousness
>>337872238
I thought the DS game was really good actually, basically Arena but more balanced and worse graphically. Plot was shit though, I'll agree there.
>>337872347
Only problem with it is its hard to hit with when the tatgets moving. But they gotta stop at some point ro attack and the sniper trades pretty well agaismt everything.
Throw in some homing pods and wide spreed bombs to apply more pressure and your set. For close up one of the heavy moddles has a retartedly op melee, so you just spam that.
>>337872581
I play for the whole package. Gameplay is obviously important, but I can't get interested in it alone. The story was what drove me away, really. It was like they tried to make afterschool specials edgy. If you're going for edge, fucking GO.
>>337872671
idk about illegal parts, but the flying robots with high mobility and homing shots stop heavy+sniper
the teleporting robots work best with sniper/dragon imo
>>337872919
>after school specials.
Pretty much describes it prefectly. Plot reminds me of metabots or something.
Best Gamecube game Best character
>>337873045
>fast aerial
Went through that to. Satalite pods and what ever the bomb that just causes exploshions in the air shut them down to hard.
>>337871696
This and the DS game have some really bad 2D art. Which is the only bad thing I can think about them, they're really dang good
As a ~13 year old I remember spamming dragon against the AI good times
This was the first game I beat in one sitting as a young lad
All its merits aside, this game was a reaction image gold mine
>>337873867
CR has some of the best video game reaction images ever.
>>337873723
Bull shit, unless you didn't read a single piece of dialog or do anything but follow the plot. The story was looong, especially including the postgame bonus arc
Did you get all that?
>Yes
>No
>WHO ARE YOU?! WHERE AM I!?
it was worth listening to the dialog twice every time.
>>337873867
agreed
Tempest
V Laser
Direct Bomb
Buster Pod
Booster Legs
I still boot up Arena from time to time to just try some different builds, but the one constant is that Tempest is my nigga.
>>337871696
One of the best multiplayer games I've ever played. Story was weird, but still fun.
What was your favorite/go-to robo build? Hard mode: no illegals.
>shrike
>splash gun
>wave bomb
>cockroach pod
>ground feet
>>337874190
I did it last summer. Took me almost an entire day, if not more, but I never stood up the whole time.
>>337874875
So how did you pee?
>Friend has the ds version
>has all the normal parts but no illegals
>Play agaisnt him
>set the map to the one with acid aand 4 moving island's
>put on titan everything
>use that floating illegal bot
Needless to say we did'nt play for very long.
>>337874817
>Ray01
>3-way
>Geo trap bomb
>reflection pods
>long dash boots
>>337875196
>Couldn't beat illegals with normal parts
What a fucking casual.
>>337874817
I liked the little fast goobers with the stungun or the drill
It wasn't always the best idea but it felt so satisfying when me and my brothers would play
>>337875423
The titan bomb would hit an a entire island when they were separated. Insant kill into the acid.
>>337874956
I held it.
>>337875653
Then he should have switched to a bot and legs that could cross the gap.
It's not like Titan bomb has a fast travel time,
>3ds version with 3D dioramas and streetpass ai battles (your set is a cpu that the other player fights) never ever
>>337876241
>3D Dioramas
You're thinking too small.
>>337876241
If they ever do a sequal i hope they let the play use a second primary weapon. I coils see lot of fun builds with 2 primary weapons.
>>337876742
Jesus christ yes pls.
>>337871696
I played the absolute fuck out of this game back in the day. So good.
Are these types of games just doomed to not be successful?
>give mira the watch dad told you to never even take off
>have to backtrack all the way back to their house to get it at the end
This is why I foolishly came to like video games
>>337877047
A real damn shame, the second and third games looked pretty fun.
>>337877047
How was that one?
I don't think these things really work out because they really need to be set up to be beyblade type fads.
>>337877449
It was decent, enough to get your tiny robot fix.
>>337873867
>>337874654
>>337876290
>>337874134
>>337877449
From what I played it was alright. Not too bad combat and customization. Really wish it had online though.
Pic related is probably my favorite of these fun-sized robot battle games.
>>337877898
My god, someone whose favorite is something other than the GBA games?
Quick someone take a picture.
I remember cheesing a lot of the bosses with the frame that lets you jump a gorillion times and the dragon gun that homes onto everything.
>>337878506
There is nothing wrong with the GBA games.
Custom robo isnt even the best robo fighter on the GC. Play gotcha force if you want a real 10/10.
Ray MK II>all other Rays
Felt fantastic to get it back in the post-game.
>>337873457
Strike vanisher can tele through bombs and pods, and there are a ton of guns that can fire from behind walls
Reminder that you could literally break every single fight in the game by using Harry's robo+Formula Legs+Punch Gun.
Faster and more health then a little raider, more stability if you ever got shot and a not stupid as fuck dash attack.
>>337877449
Custom robo was a budget title Iirc, it apparently it was good with around 200k sales.
>>337871696
Best game on the cube. Probably of the generation.
>>337871696
Picked it up at microplay, digged it alot, then I think I ended up loosing it or something when I was a yung boi. Good times.
>>337877853
i need them all anon
>that fucking chicken frame
so good tho
i remember seeing it in a walmart one day and thinking "huh, that looks kind of like a gundam" and the back of the box showed them fighting and i thought maybe it'd be neat.
best impulse buy i've ever made.
>>337871696
I love Custom Robo but holy shit go play some damn Virtual On you fucking faggot
best build coming through
>peregrine
>knuckle gun
>>337871696
It was a good game.
>asks you if the world is round
>"Yeah its round, like a sphere!"
>"Didn't they teach you anything? the world is flat"
>Elevator takes you into space.
>>337884078
>post yfw "Is the world round or flat?"
It still makes me sad they cut everything Custom Robo related from Smash.
Not even trophies left.
It's a top tier game to play every once and a while, a lot better when you have friends after beating the story mode though.
Preferred loadouts?
I havent played in a while, but I liked rocking a Little Raider with the stun gun. Rush in dodging shit, taze them to take off a healthy chunk of HP, then speed off again to look for another opening. Pods and bombs vary to try and pin the enemy down.
>>337886537
Gatling Strike Vanisher is what I used for a while, it's pretty fun, but a bit bullshit because of Javelin's instant charges.
>>337877853
>32
>>337884462
>>337871696
I just got it a few weeks ago, only played through the battle with those bandits but it's really fun so far.
I'm looking forward to customizing my robot, plus now I know where one of my favorite reaction images comes from.
>>337876742
Finally a good use for these stupid cards
>>337871696
MAH NIGGA. Nobody ever posts about this amazing Gamecube gem and its still one of my favorite games of all time. I replay this game at least one a year.
>>337886537
i think i beat the whole game mostly using the rayfall and halberd
i just liked teleporting
>>337887437
Yeah, too bad it will never ever evereverhappen.
>>337887541
We just had a thread last week, and they usually pop up at least once a month. Custom Robo hasn't been forgotten yet.
>>337871696
Who was best girl?
>>337887738
There was a dark period of a year or so, where everyone on /v/ never spoke about this game and/or never heard of it. it was a bad time.
>>337886537
Lightning Skies with powerful weapons that normally hold you in place.
Always good for a laugh.
>>337887758
Linda
Anyone know if the first two Custom Robo games are easy to play untranslated?
>>337887758

>>337877853

I love custom robo arena but the aesthetics of GC version are so horrible, how can you even play it.
need to learn japanese to play the original but don't want to turn into a weeb ;_;
>>337871696
Gotcha Force is better
>>337871696
>yfw you first realizedthat everything was in a dome
>>337880716
>there was an entire class based around this in CR:A
>CR:A ran at something like 20 fucking frames, was limited to 1v1, had a story that negatively impacted the game instead of being funny and charming like the GC game's story
AND forced you to play through all of it to get to anything that wasn't the story
Why the fuck couldn't they have waited for better hardware for this game? It was murdered by the DS' limitations.
>yfw the first time you fought rahu
>>337891662
anon the deviantart-tier art is half the fun
>>337893582
Man, I actually crushed that first campaign in an 8 hour session fueled by mexican Coke.But then I got floored by the tea party tournament, in Grand Battle mode
>>337893582
>the plants felt unfamiliar
>they weren't made out of plastic or metal
>there will never be a sequel
>>337880716
is it? I thought it was just a joke bot
>>337895328
Unlike the Can parts it's legitimately good.
>>337891482
highlight of the thread, thank you based anon
i remember emailing the creators of custom robo a few years back thanking them for the game and they responded like months later talking about how the love for the game is still strong in the west
Ray 01
Dragon Gun
Homing bombs
Legs that let you dash further
Cockroach pods
>>337871696
great game, solid 9/10
not top 10 games of all time, not even the best game on Gamecube (Skies of Arcadia : Legends wins that title) (PSO I&II takes 2nd)
>>337872238
Fuck off the Ds one is awesome
Imagine a custom Robo game with amiibo frames that can be optimized with new parts.
Shit would sell of the shelves like crazy.
>>337895328
It's an easter egg representative of the beast-like class of robos that would appear in the upcoming DS title
Holy fucking shit this thread reminded me of this video my buddies and I would watch back in middle school
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pETsfXy7DIU
I can't believe it's still up and it still kicks fucking ass
>>337899914
Goddamn it I expected Linkin Park and I got it.
>>337899914
that syncs up with the video surprisingly well
