SENSEI GO OUT WITH ME

You know who I'd want for the OP alone?

Plus put it in a game with Shin Mazinger and we'd get an excuse to fight mass production supers. We haven't had those in a while.
Should I put Mai in the R-Gun for the last few stages of OGG? She's been doing great in the ART-1 and Viletta's fine in the R-Gun, but I just beat Altis and I hear the next few bosses want maximum damage output. Will an extra couple T-Link Double Knuckles make up the difference?
>>13525978
Starts publication on December 12th.
>>13527591
How strong this guy robo compared to the likes of other OG mecha?
I want to marry Grungust!
>>13527604
Max power HTB spam is way more bang per EN than R-Formation + Love Love T Link Knuckle + HTB would be
>>13527607
Pretty excited for it, can't wait to see where it goes, especially since it's listed as a full reboot, which means it should get a decent amount of chapters if nothing else.
>>13527614
Pretty good,he's up there with Ialdabaoth
>>13527620
Fair. I guess the real question is more "Do I need max EN/damage efficiency or can I lay up a bit in the name of favoritism?"
>>13527614
>>13527642
He's not even the strongest OG in his own game.
>>13527681
>Do I need max EN/damage efficiency
It's SRW so the answer is always no.
>>13527614
Story wise, or gameplay wise?
>>13527681
I've yet to encounter a situation in SRW where favoritism didn't win out against efficiency.
It's a cross over game. It's not meant to be difficult, and the few examples people cite as difficult are more often than not just tedious for the sake of getting the player to spend more time on the game.
Play the pilots you want in the robots you like and just go from there. Do that and you'll never have a hard time in SRW.Said the man whose favorite robots are typically the strongest in the games they appear in.
>>13527777
I was surprised at how strong WRONG TETSUJIN was, and I wouldn't have given him a chance if weren't for you, old man.
>>13527777
Quads of truth from the Mad Arab.
>spoiler
You had the perfect chance to tell us about those in the last thread, why didn't you?
>>13527777
How true, how true.
>>13527777
Gee old man, how come you don't post seriously more?
See, you even get sweet quads of truth.
But yeah, you're pretty much right, any maxed out unit can at the very least allow you to finish a stage with no problems, sure, there are those who have better spirits than others but unless it's one of those rare cases where the list is complete utter garbage as long as you pump your dosh into it you're fine.
>>13527777
>Spoiler
So your favourite robot is Neo Granzon then.
>>13527777And my favoritism is centered around the STX, so.If you finish Alkaid off with an HTB Cannon, shouldn't the SRX Team become the Kings and Queens of Shura?
>>13527777
When favoritism and efficiency collide, it's an amazing thing
>>13527787
He's kinda like Dai-Guard, except a bit stronger at the start of the game.

>E-Save doesn't exist
>Resupply and Generators don't exist
>SP Drinks and Hope don't exist
Let's see you kill every OG final boss in one turn with just an armor break followed by a single attack over and over before you run out of Enable and Resupply. I can guarantee not many will be able to.
SRX with a +200 EN part and a FUB'd R-Gun both have at least 400 EN, and can easily keep the Valors going for nearly every single shot with proper use of SP Drinks and Hope. Remember you can equip consumables on the separate R-Series units and use those when you split. And since HTB is a combo attack it gets a power boost when you pair up the SRX and R-Gun.
60k damage per shot before a boss's Prevail starts kicking in hard is easy even on a first run in the games with Attacker. And 2ndOG toned down the HP bloat a bunch so not having Attacker there works out fine.
>>13527842
>kill every OG final boss in one turn with just an armor break followed by a single attack over and over before you run out of Enable and Resupply.
I'd rather just attack the boss with all the units I have, since I only ever ran out of actions before the boss died on Dark Brain's second form in Ex-Hard. Especially in 2nd OGs, where the number of pairs means you have access to twice as many finishers, although I'm probably the only person here who splits all their pairs up (besides the one who's going to make the kill) before going after the stage boss.
>>13527842
Yes but why would you want to go through all that effort when you can just kill bosses with a team play.

Night guys, stay nice with each other and don't do anything crazy.
>>13527862
>but why would you want to go through all that effort
I didn't know that mashing 4 commands on the same 3 units for one turn is considered effort now, sure as hell takes less than selecting more than 4 different units and buff them all with spirits.
>>13527862
It's much more fun to have a single unit repeatedly hit the enemy until they die.
>>13527890
Really? I've never thought that, but I guess that's just part of the human experience. Difference of opinion and personal perceptions and all that.
>>13527727
Story wise.
>>13527700
Who are the strongest? FP Shurounga Sins?
>>13527881
You are doing it wrong then.
>>13527842
Not too mention the satisfaction of one turning Euzeth.
>>13528074
Trying to compare OG mech powerlevels storywise is an exercise in futility since after a certain point they're all reality-bending monsters.
>>13528099
>You are doing it right then.
FTFY
>>13528109
What about gameplay wise then?
>>13528109
So you implied that Valzacard with 3 sides of Solomon Triangle and can withstand universe reset lost to Geminion Rei?
>>13528132
Mu.
How does SRW Z handle Gravion combining into God Gravion? Are all the support vehicles playable whenever you feel like decombining God Gravion back again?
For that matter, how do Alpha 2 and 3 handle combining mechs?
>>13528099
>implying theirs a proper way to play SRW
>>13528181
>How does SRW Z handle Gravion combining into God Gravion?
You get Grand Kaiser, when Touga hits 130 will Sandman's swag turns it into Gravion for 3 turns
Until you get the Critical Gravitron ability, at which point it's stuck as Gravion
>For that matter, how do Alpha 2 and 3 handle combining mechs?
They don't
>>13528211
>They don't
I'm sad. Playing with the combiners in @/G was the one of the fun parts of those games.
>>13528217
They stopped doing combiners the day animations got more complicated than "move static sprite around". Also, squads. Squads and units that split up do not mesh well.
>>13528211
What if you want to play as the little jet and drill tank things? Is that only possible in a couple of stages, or...?
So Yuyuko disappeared and the music suddenly got amazing.
I assume this is a repeat of that trick Flan pulled, and I should brace for incoming MAP spam?
>>13528211
>They don't
Well, there's the Hyperion. Were there any others? Because that's the only example I can think of.
>>13528262
>Resurrection Butterfly
Oh boy.
Haven't played FMW yet but if it's anything like the original you'll have to time it out.
>>13528285
Yeah, that seems to be the case.
On a side note, I tried having Sunny cast Guts out of morbid curiosity regarding exactly how the "all healing is inverted" effect works. Interestingly, Guts in this game is coded to heal for the unit's maximum health, not their missing health. So using it while under that effect does, in fact, instantly kill the caster.
And then Cirno died to her own HP regen. I guess I should have expected that. Luckily, the effect only lasts a couple turns and I made sure to keep a bomb in reserve, so I should be fine.
>>13528262
get ready for Yukarin raping your ass
>>13528262
Yeah. It's the same gimmick as the actual Perfect Cherry Blossom final boss fight, after you beat Yuyuko the Saigyouji tree goes nuts and starts attacking you as well and you just have to take the attacks and survive to win.
Thank you, /srwg/
For everything.
>>13528295
It's going to be great.
>>13528262
>music suddenly got amazing.
If you think the music got amazing now you're in for one hell of a ride, it just keeps getting better.
>>13528305
her theme song is great

Surely she can't be THAT bad, I doubt they'd make her-
>スキマ
>マップ中の任意のマスに移動できる。
Oh god, does she actually do this on a regular basis? Because if so, just kill me now.
>>13528337
Yukari has a lot of gimmicks designed to fuck you over.In three the final boss substitutes gimmicks for pure unadulterated fuck you in a long beatdown drag out fight
>>13528337
You are going to LOVE her Arcanum "Danmaku Barrier" spellcard.
The whole fight in general is pretty much a introduction/preview to the third games more gimmicky spellcards which you'll see a lot more of.
>>13528354
>>13528389
>gimmicks
Oh boy.In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to this. The crazy gimmicks are a big part of what set FMW's boss fights apart from standard SRW fare, and I love them even if they do kick my ass sometimes.
>>13528354
What is the last boss of Ei like?
>>13528406
Read the spoiler.
>>13528407
No I mean how is she pure unadulterated fuck you?
The showdown begins, and for once the enemy density isn't Masoukishin tier. 30 grunts and 5 bosses is a pretty respectable opposition. And as usual, the finale medley does not disappoint.Rate my team, /srwg/.
>>13528411
High damage
High prevail
Ridiculous accuracy mods
Xbox huge maps
Her cards are just designed to make it easier for her to kill you
>>13528418
Pretty standard. What route are you playing on anyway?
Depending on your choice, you don't have many stages to play with some of these guys again before they leave in Ei's first half.
>>13528420
Well that doesn't sound too bad.
>>13528411
Well, imagine the ideon gun. Now imagine the ideon gun backed by enough Will to make GGG blush.
>>13528431
>That doesn't sound too bad
That's what they all say until when they actually do it.
>>13528431
She can move twice a turn (three times on higher modes), morale exceeds the limit (no not 170, it goes upto 500) and also can void defensive spirits.
And she's still not the hardest boss in the game, that is reserved for the midboss.
>>13528258
The Gran Kaiser has the other Gran Divas as one of its attacks. That's it for being able to use them. Sol Gravion also gets an attack where the armor splits off into that combined jet form and it rides it into the opponent as a surfboard, which is pretty swag.
>>13528411
>>13528420
anyone here that webm of Okuu nuking an entire team with her MAP in one turn?
>>13528446
Some of Yorihime's difficulty comes from not having access to half of the cast.
>>13528424
Marisa. But before I move on to Ei, I'll probably go back and run my Reimu file as well. I've been doing both routes semi-concurrently.
>>13528418
>And as usual, the finale medley does not disappoint.
Found it amusing how GONG worked into it surprisingly well.
>>13528442
>>13528446
So she can wreck China and all of the other tanky supers with ease?
>>13528446
>that is reserved for the midboss
fuck Yorihime
anyways, those crazy bonuses are really challenging but also makes the boss fight much more fun than any other SRW, which in comparison, seem really boring
>>13528455
the issue is that being "tanky" in this game sucks bigtime againt bosses when their output damage skyrockets
>>13528418
Wait, You's fully translated? Where can I get the patch?
>>13528455
Yep.
>>13528455
Pretty much, though China is more or less the ONLY tank in the game who can support defend without getting wrecked immediately. Yuyuko also for certain technical reasons because of a certain skill.
This says a lot since they pretty much go nuts giving you a bunch of super tanky and overpowered units.
>>13528462
It's on the Akurasu wiki.
>>13528452
this is the real issue
you have only half of the team and it is really lackluster
that and the stupid fucking 10k hp bunnies that abuse support attack and defense actively, fuck them
>>13528462
It's not a full patch, it only translates the story dialogue and some of the menus. It's good enough for me (my Japanese is up to par for Battle dialogue and the like), but just warning you that it's not entirely complete and probably never will be. Akurasu has a link to it.
>>13528470
Momiji can also tank, kinda, but if her shield skill does not active, she is fucked
>>13528455
She can fuck everyone easily, but specifically she has 2 cardspell effects that bypass Flash and Fortitude.
But at least all of her gimmicks were fun, unlike a certain boss in the midgame.
>>13528431
>>13528420

Its surprisingly early this time but its probably because people chased off the fanfic posters.
>>13528476
Even the extra event and battle dialogue is a small issue since the guy who made the patch also did a full LP of it with full dialogue translations and is also doing a LP/text translation of the third game which is linked to this as well.

Honestly whilst I'd prefer the full team assault the way SRX is just made in the OG games is just fucking broken because it's straight up the most efficient way to kill everything.
That is what happens when you don't change up the gameplay formula and keep doing a power creep without any regard for balance.
Who is this semen demon?
>>13528533
Uh...okay. Sure, dood. Whatever you say.
>>13528517
>chased off the fanfic posters.
Just the one really really bland one with a less than optimal way of sharing these ideas.
>>13528513
>Is Yorihime really that bad?
She basically has the same gimmick as Gaioh in Z2. You can straight up fight her or taunt her before fighting her and she powers up into a superboss version. This is considering in terms of stats and skills she is actually already statistically the most powerful boss in the game even without the buff.
>>13528534

But at the same time it's better to be like Fire Emblem 404 than bland and boring.
>X-O has another crystal gasha special
>Didn't take the non-Attacker Geass units out of the running
I HOPE YOU LIKE GEKKAS.
Considering how rare crystals are compared to the gasha currency in other mobile games, they don't need to keep changing up the shit in the gasha damn-near every week considering the only people who'd be able to do a 10x pull more than once every few weeks (if that) are whales.
I'm not going to give much of a shit about anything besides daily bonuses and missions until more units and sub-SR units get added, because this is getting ridiculous. I have NEVER gotten an R unit from the Friend Gasha. Fucking useless-ass currency.
>>13528533
Don't forget that this is a cross over game first, and a strategy game a very, very, very, very distant second.
Yeah, it would be nice for the game to provide more interesting gameplay elements and be at least a little challenging but it's just not their focus.
Then again, even if you ignored that this is a cross over game, the genre SRW belongs to isn't exactly known for its freshness.
Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre, and most other SRPGs play the same outside of a few minor (sometimes major, to be fair) differences.
>>13528580
>Like Fire Emblem 404
Fuck no. That's the kind of thing that you should be trying to avoid.
>>13528571

But only in theory.

How many hype moments like this have we missed through all of the untranslated SRW games.
In light of recent events,are you here Matt?
>>13528628
Recent events? Do tell.
>>13528633
Nothing important.
>>13528584
Freshness isn't a big deal, more cherry on the top but mechanics are.
FE used to have some solid innovative mechanics going on in it's past and half the reason it faded was it wasn't changing anything anymore, in fact it was removing elements. Then they realized fanservice would get more shekels for less effort.
You have some like Luminous Arc/Stella Glow which are happy to be generic but just do it very very well then died. Some like Advance Wars take it to a extreme and make solid gameplay a main front and...died.
You know what, I'm gonna shut up. It's made me depressed now.
>>13528618
Man, I don't know what it was about the stage where you fight Kanako, but that shit was fucking hype. Especially when she activates Mountain of Faith.
And to answer your question: quite a few, honestly. A lot of the games have some really cool moments that aren't entirely obvious if you can't understand the dialogue. Some of my favorites are in the Masoukishin games.
>>13528644
>Some like Advance Wars take it to a extreme and make solid gameplay a main front and...died.
After the batshit insanity that was Days of Ruin, I don't see how they can top themselves.
Also fuck that final stage.
>>13528644
>advance wars
>unit is named Mech
>it's just 5 guys who kill tanks more easily
>>13528644
Some of those mechanics got cut because they wouldn't work with the game's plot or get revised.
Things like Capture don't really work well outside of FE5 and other things like Fatigue, PCC and Movement Stars are things that are huge pains in the ass to balance properly.
Con is something IS couldn't get right for a long time and they probably just didn't bother to deal with it anymore.
Other things like the magic triangle are superfluous since mages are really samey and often come in two flavors, with either so much res that it barely helps or no res at all so they'd die anyway.
Its not that IS is actively removing elements, they're experimenting with them until when they find a happy balance.
>>13528644
Advance Wars died because they decided to abruptly change the whole plot and tone of the franchise, suddenly going from fun and campy to muh gritty realism while also throwing out literally the entire cast that players had been following for three games now. The gameplay in DoR is fantastic, but you can't do that sort of shit to your story and expect to stay alive.
>>13528661
I distinctly remember playing a Fire Emblem with Fog of War.
I can also say fucking fuck the retard that thought that was a good idea.
>>13528666
Fog's okay when it isn't FE5 Fog.
>>13528657
They tell you right at the start of the game that Mech is just an abbreviation for Mechanized Infantry.
Which is, admittedly, still an entirely inaccurate nameunless you're willing to shell out an extra 5k for an APC to throw them in.
>>13528651
There definitely have been some fantastic moments, Ragnarok scenario's in the Classic timeline come to mind. Shiva's speeches in @3 were pretty hype and I recall the dialogue for Duminas in R and even Arnie/Ayul's events in UX being actually kind of heartbreaking.
>Yes you have become the 3rd Super Robot Taisen Z Heaven chapter!
On the other hand you sometimes have this. This was pure shit and tacky both in the original dialogue and translated. You just can't make that sound good at all outside or in context. It's just bad writing.
>>13528628
Festum please go away.
>>13528662
You gotta admit Caulder was one hell of a villain.
>>13528672
I don't recall them actually saying that. There was just a lot of gratuitous overuse of "beyond human comprehension".
>>13528684
He was, I'm not saying the DoR story is shit on its own merits. It's just so utterly nothing like Advance Wars that it shouldn't be surprising it was a franchise killer.
>>13528662
On the other hand it gave us the amazing moment in the game when this theme kicked in which was hype. Also they didn't even release DoR in Japan so er...
https://youtu.be/lLh7_wV_rM0
Let me guess: one of Yukari's spellcards changes the map to night? The guys at Sanbondo seem far too sadistic to pass up a chance to drop that S rank on me.
Combined with her Kiwami, that would make her rather terrifyingly accurate. Doubly so since I didn't bother equipping the appropriate terrain parts, considering there's been literally no night maps this entire game.
>>13528698
DoR accidentally putting AW in a coma led to Codename STEAM happening, and I personally loved Randolph Carter's Eldritch Ride.

>suddenly going from fun and campy to muh gritty realism
Back when they were alive, Hudson tried the same with Bomberman, but wisely backpedaled hard afterwards. I don't get why silly properties like this have to get serioused up, that's not necessary to keep them popular.
>>13528756
Because grim and gritty is what the kids want these days obviously
Let's ignore the fact that doing that has pretty much never ended well for any franchise ever
>>13528762
Their reasoning is probably something like "It'll work this time, really!"
>>13528762
Well, it worked for Jak & Daxter, although that may have been lightning in a bottle.
>>13528756
>Back when they were alive, Hudson tried the same with Bomberman, but wisely backpedaled hard afterwards. I don't get why silly properties like this have to get serioused up, that's not necessary to keep them popular.
It's not even as if Bomberman couldn't be serious 64 Second Attack pretty much had a alternate ending where the entire universe blew up which was pretty huge.
What I took issue more was the Hige bandits phase where it was like they just decided to give up making interesting enemies.
>>13528752
>ignores all damage from non-1 range attacks
Now THAT brings back memories. And not good ones, either.
>Can move as many times as you have units on the field
Holy shit. Note to self: make absolutely damn sure I don't let it pass to enemy phase during that spellcard.
>>13528784
She's bound to get at least one turn of that spell.
>>13528799
It's not possible to break the previous spell at the start of player phase, then use the rest of your units to finish her off?

Jak & Daxter and Conker are the only two times it's ever worked. Both only had one other game before going dark, and Jak made it work in part through cross-promotion with Ratchet, which was already more aimed towards people who enjoyed black comedy. But even Ratchet almost had a franchise killer with Deadlocked, which tried going even darker than most of that franchise.
>>13528784
>Now THAT brings back memories. And not good ones, either.
depends on the game. There are some enemy decks that only use gun class units
Jesus christ, are the SRW touhous as hard as you guys makes them look like? Because in SRW games the "hardest" thing I ever faced was the dark brain stage, and only because both the boss and his mooks were HP sponges who simply refused to die
>>13528819
She does the same move back to the tree gimmick.
>>13528827
Killing everything in @G's Earth Cradle stage is probably the hardest thing I've done in SRW. Lots of dodgy motherfuckers that all start at 150 will, and no SP refills.
>>13528784
Yukari will at least get one turn of her final spell, hope you max upgraded Reimu and pray she can evade that at least
>>13528827
the thing in FMW is that everything matters, especially your terrain ranks and more importantly, battle formation, the friendship bonuses are really fucking important when facing bosses, as SP is not that abundant
>>13528851
Who doesn't max out Reimu?
And in You even with only 2-3 WB bonus + mobility upgrades she can dodge everything even when unfocused, unless there is some crazy danmaku field effect or penalty (Yukari).
All of this discussion is making me want to go over the series again from the first game.
>>13528827
Yes they are.
>>13528886
Wait so was it a bad idea for me to dump all of my money in Marissa?
>>13528842
did you ever finish Alpha Gaiden?
>>13528827
They're not horrendously difficult for the most part, but they're certainly a lot less effortless than most SRW games.
They're pretty fun, you should give them a try.
>>13528778
Fair. Though there is a fine line between "happy happy joy joy" and "full on Master Chief".
>>13528820
It also worked with Banjo-Kazooie to an extent in regards to Tooie.
>Conker
It's ironic how the minute it goes on Xbox, it got MORE censorship that Nintendo ever gave.
I hope you guys are ready for 0083 plot.
>>13528851
7 bars in mobility and Evade Up L4. With any luck, she should be okay.
>>13528940
Tomorrow
Goddammit I didn't expect a bunch girls wearing silly hats to be this awesome.
Also it's nice to play FMW after going through F/Final
>>13529046
I remember losing my shit when Marisa's group showed up. The new reinforcement theme in the second game is too damn good.
It only gets better from there. The next few stages are amazing. By the way, which route are you doing?
>>13528983
Compact's lack of OGs means you're pretty much just re-enacting scenes from the featured series.
>>13529056
Marissa.
I don't know why but I've always loved her.
>>13529046
>Cirno
>focused
Shit, man, what are you doing?
>>13528517
There was only like a small handful posts which didn't like fanfic posting.
I think it's more like everyone who had fanfic ideas already finished posting them.
>>13528531
What the heck do you mean "Even Rinnosuke"? That guy is the greatest
>>13528563
But I have Guts because I'm @G Jiron
>>13529046
That is one of my favorite stages ever, only beaten by a couple in Eternal.
You didn't even needed translations to know how awesome it was. You are surrounded, a wall of supers at the front, a bunch of reals at the backs, even a couple of anoying kappas underwater. They all start to gang up on you. Until Marisa fucking Kirisame appear with the EOSD crew to save your asses.
3 things
1. Hyaku Shiki looks even more like L-Gaim while next to L-Gaim, which I thought was hilarious because, even though they have the same designer of course, it's still fun to see robots from other series that look like they'd fit into another.
2. Has anyone tried uploading Dunbine's music onto YouTube or whatever alternative there is?
3. GATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Punished AWOOO.
A fallen watchdog.
Oh and there's a fucking Zeong.
Surrounded by 3 Elmeths, no less.
>>13528762
Final Fantasy Tactics?
Sure, it's still colorful but it's an FF game where I can really think of only one scene that's "wacky" (and its a sidequest) compared to its predecessors which were mostly goofy interspersed with melodrama.
>>13528827
FMW has difficulty settings and I think most of us here are apparently Hardened OYW Veterans who play on the higher settings.
If you're worried about being too casual for being one-shotted, there are lower difficulties if you just want to have a relaxing breeze, but y'know, EasyModo joke here
>>13529197
>>13529211
Isn't the Zeong horribly outdated by now?
>>13529222
not everyone is crazy enough to try Lunatic mode on those games
>>13529244
The other unit's legs are only holding them back
So I've started watching Victory and holy shit.
They actually used microwaves to make their enemy sick and unable to fight before launching an assault.
That's supposed to be reserved for "villains"
>>13529254
Meant as a reply to >>13529224
>>13529224
Everything prior to the CCA events should be outdated, even Zeta (hence the REfined Gundam Zeta)
But we're still flying around in the fucking RX-79 all the way up to the RX-93 and everything in between.
Is Kou related to Aya?
Is the GP-03 related to the R-3?Is Katz related to Aya?
>>13529324
You tell me
>>13529324
>Is Katz related to Aya?
Kou has a chat with Gato...
...but nothing happens.
Oh well, time to reenact Stardust Memory... even though the titans are already a thing.
So, apparently Goro Tanaguchi is teasing something big scheduled for late next year, with Takahiro Kimura and Takanori Hoshino apparently tagging along for the announcement.
New GGG?
>>13529367
Only relation they all seem to have is GxS, so I highly doubt it would be GGG
BUT
Quattro Bajeena, of all people, talks to Gato.
>>13529333
If only the playable version retained the 140 mobility and 9 movement that she had as an enemy, she might actually be worth using.
What kind of world do we live in in which a Gundam has 9000+ HP, but Daimos, Mazinger, and Getter have 4500?
>>13528262
>Well, there's the Hyperion. Were there any others? Because that's the only example I can think of.
Chouryujin in Alpha 2 does combining still. Tenryujin in Alpha 3 also does, and in that game you get Final Dancouga who can split into Black Wing and Dancouga (not that anyone ever DOES, but you can.)
>>13528769
Because the original game, for all its good traits, was kind of half baked. Or because no one was complaining about darkness because everyone complained about how fucking difficult it was. Or because it was still trying to be funny (Daxter's occasional jokes about Jak's inability to speak in the first game were always great.)
Also the franchise is dead at this point, so.
>>13528960
Tooie wasn't THAT dark, though. That's like saying Pokémon Gen 4 and 5 were more dark than 1, 2, and 3 - you're not wrong, but considering how minor the difference is does it even matter?
>>13529394
I do love how this cutscene goes.
>Gato: I AM ZEON! WE ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER
>Quattro: no dude stop
>Gato: WHY SHO-wait, Char? The fuck are you doing there?

>Gato: ahahaha what the fuck, seriously? Ok shit man I'll join you I guess, your side is more Zeon than this one.
Also make sure to get the Zeong after that stage, it's pretty solid (though IIRC it needs a Minovsky Craft to work in atmosphere). I'll get secrets and shit in a sec.
>>13529404
Neue Ziel is a mobile armor, not a Gundam...but then again, inflated HP for a boss/NPC.
>>13529404
New Zealand isn't Gundam
HOLY FUCK HE HITS LIKE A TRUCK STUFFED WITH IDEALS
>>13529408
>That convo
That's fucking sweet, man.
>>13529409
This is him as an ally unit.
>>13529409
>>13529415
There's a reason I said 9000+.
The Dendrobium's base health is at 9000.
That said, the fact that it stays at 11K for the Newzealander is absurd.
>>13529404
It actually fits well for Getter and Mazinger, but I'm not so sure about Daimos.
Well, anyway, Cima got the ultimate dicking of a lifetime. Bet she didn't see THAT coming.
>>13529438
Even Getter G?
>>13529419
Neue Ziel is seriously no joke. Mobile Armors in general rule the C1 scene, and it's one of the best ones, up with one that you'll get really late in the game that basically kicks every other ass. If you're an MS not named Nu, Sazabi, or F91, you may as well not even try.
As for Gato himself, he's not a bad pilot, but he's an Oldtype and that means late Double Image so he gets left behind.
>>13529427
He does get a little bit of upgrades, but yeah. What he mainly loses is Armor - enemy version has 2000, that one has 1600 (which is still pretty huge) - and Mobility, where it started with FUCKING 155 and drops to 100.
Anyway.

>>13529442
>Ded Mattman's waifu
>>13529442
Yes. Don't see why G would have that much more HP than the original
>>13529453
Its twice as big.
>>13529457
Not twice. 35 meters upgrading to 47 meters. Then Shin is 55.
...I guess it's twice if you compare Getter 3 to Poseidon, at least.
>>13529457
>>13529477
I could see why that might be a problem then. Not too familiar with toei getter, sorry about that
Actually, how much more HP if any does G have compared to the original in the compact he's playing
You could have prevented the slaughter, /srwg/.
Instead, you allowed L-Gaim to rise and surpass its intended successor in such a manner that defies nature.
Now the question becomes, "who gets the bonus"?
>>13529558
4 Vagina
>>13529565
I actually haven't been deploying him for anything except this mission.
>>13529558
One of the Dancouga or Getter pilots.
I KNOW you haven't gotten all of them ready.
>>13529584
>I KNOW you haven't gotten all of them ready.
>>13529611
How did you...?
Ok, did you get Banjo?
>>13529665
I'm a masochist, is how.
Anyway, no, I did NOT have Banjo.
Now I do.
Wait what the fuck is this and when did I get it
>>13529716
That's Getter.
Are you dissing Benkei's ride?
>>13529724
>>13529727
Oh, fuck, I knew it was a Getter, I just didn't realize that it was Poseidon. OOPS.
What threw me off is that for some reason Dragon has 500 more HP than Liger or Poseidon.
>>13529716
That's Getter Poseidon, mate.
Don't you be disrespectin'.
>>13529732
Because you gave Dragon a Chobham Armor, of course.
>>13528752
>once per turn
Yeah, that restriction doesn't seem to be a thing. Immediately after activating that spell, she cast Strike/Fury/Alert all at once, and blew right past support defense to kill Mokou.
Remember, your sins are what cause your downfall.
Have you confessed your sins lately, /srwg/?
Anyway, it seems clear I should be heading off soon.
>>13529734
Didn't mean disrespect, my tired old eyes are failing me from25 hours of being awake on the job; Compact's the only thing keeping me awake during breaks
>>13529740
Ah, must've done it without realizing. Or something.
Literal nightmares of L-Gaim.
>>13529761
Oh man, is this the game where Daimos doesn't come with alert nor anything that reduces damage? I'm amazed you still deploy him.
And is this the one where the final boss isDon Zauser?
>>13529803
Yeah man.
I just love Daimos, and Kazuya can cast love two times per mission, which is nice.
Not like my other choices matter when I have L-Gaim.
>>13529803
>Oh man, is this the game where Daimos doesn't come with alert nor anything that reduces damage? I'm amazed you still deploy him.
2-5 P move, man. It's an offensive powerhouse, you just have to put things into its armor.
Also Kazuya has Love. And if you feel like fucking with Wonderswan's default birthday and get rid of that to add defensive spirits, his last spirit is FUCKING SOUL on one of his five sets.
>spoiler
It is. You can one shot him.
>>13529734
Poseidon is the Getter 3 form that looks the least goofy, and that probably says something about the designs in general.
>>13529803
That's the one, though from his playthrough, it sounds more like Daimos is a beast until something bad happens, like Aura Battlers going Hyper.In a meaningless aside, I'm the anon trapped by Govarian's OP, I can't stop listening to it, send help
>>13529801
SHOW ME THE WAY TO YOU!

I was wondering if the V-Ups stacked...
Are you going to stick Daba in this beast or stick with Amu?
>>13529829
>I was wondering if the V-Ups stacked...
yes they do. This is FOUR V Up (W)'s on the G3 in Impact at max upgrades.
>defense -160%
Holy shit Yukari, calm down. What the hell does a defense penalty greater than 100% even do, anyway?
>>13529829
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRiFIIOF6SU
Best pilot for L-Gaim is actually Daba.
Apparently, it's because the V-Ups stack with each other that L-Gaim is a better unit than Mark 2, which is ironic as hell.
>>13529827
>I'm the anon trapped by Govarian's OP, I can't stop listening to it, send help
Ok.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAGO4mLigk0
>>13529829
>Are you going to stick Daba in this beast or stick with Amu?
There's literally no reason not to use Daba in it, it's the best L-Gaim machine here by a country mile. Mk 2 is pretty ok if you want to throw Leccee in something though.
Also.
>>13529829
>I was wondering if the V-Ups stacked...
They wouldn't be broken if you could only use one per machine, they're broken because a part that gives more power to units with more part slots is a fundamentally terrible idea.
>>13529844
Man, listening to the Wonderswan trying to strain to make that song work isn't really that pretty.
>>13529846
Ah, this is one of those things you mentioned in your cast list that was new to me in terms of SRW entries. Never heard of it, know absolutely nothing about it.
>>13529856
you think that's bad?
Try Burning Love.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5N-ZC4I2PQ
>>13529859
As I just said in another thread which was talking about things similar to Eva:
>It's been said a couple times, but Dual! PTA is pretty fun. Starts out as random silly harem antics a la Tenchi Muyo with giant robots (it's by the same people and is supposedly a part of the Tenchi multiverse, so...), then suddenly the MC gets kidnapped by the other side and it becomes "Everything is going fucking crazy, featuring Turn Granzon".
>Not the best show out there and some people don't like it, but it's generally well received by the people who have seen it. Also, FUCKING GOD TIER OPENING.
>>13529870
I already mentioned how Burning Love just has ISSUES with this system.
...I wonder if Love Is A Miracle would have worked better? I know Ai No Faraway probably would, the other early systems made it work, so maybe it could have too?
>>13529827
>Aura Battlers going hyper
I love it when that happens. I think only Jerril and Ban do it in this game though because Todd was recruitable early on.
I have fond memories of Jerril one-shotting Banjou because I didn't know anything about Aura Battler Dunbine and did not respect the hyper.
>>13529846
>Not giving Mk 2 to best girl
I don't know if we can be friends.
>>13529856
>>13529870
Heh. I can't help but love it. I guess it's because I grew up on the Sega Genesis and like music that sounds a bit low-quality.
And you should hear the Compact 3 Escaflowne bad guy theme that plays with the recruitable catgirls. It's rather...interesting to hear the Wonderswan try to do choral chanting.
>>13529874
>Starts out as random silly harem antics a la Tenchi Muyo
that sounds like a major turnoff
>>13529870
At least they did the right thing and put in Burning Love instead of For a Real Kiss.
Also, did you do that thing with Muge that gets you the Dancougaken?
>>13529886
Yeah, we've been through this song and dance.
I wonder.
What about Burning Rage?
>>13529889
yeah, I actually likedCastlevania Bloodlines
And the Escaflowne song you're referring to is... Epistle, I think. I'm actually going to rip it out of the game myself and upload it later, just as with these Compact 1 songs.
>>13529889
>I guess it's because I grew up on the Sega Genesis and like music that sounds a bit low-quality.
Fellow Genesis anon, huh? (Though I was a double agent and played it alongside the Nintendo stuff and never got to go to the Saturn and beyond) I'd love to hear Genesis-style versions of some robot music, best I found was somebody's version of Perfectio's theme somewhere.
>>13529889
>I think only Jerril and Ban do it in this game though because Todd was recruitable early on.
Yep. Hyper Rhyneck isn't even in the game code.
>Not giving Mk 2 to best girl
...But I am. I said give it to Leccee.
>And you should hear the Compact 3 Escaflowne bad guy theme that plays with the recruitable catgirls. It's rather...interesting to hear the Wonderswan try to do choral chanting.
Now, on the other hand, the normal C3 Escaflowne theme.
Goddamn that was fucking great.
>>13529891
It also has this guy.
This guy, seriously.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejyBcX_gUNQ
I swear, I've never seen this show but it has some fucking FANTASTIC music.
>>13529905
Yes.
>>13529919
>It also has this guy.
>This guy, seriously.
he seems like he gives no fucks from that pic
>>13529889
oh yeah,
>Best Girl
>Amu
pick one
>>13529921
The only thing is, THAT FUCKING EN COST OH GOD.
Still, totally worth it, if only because MAPs that strong are great.
>>13529926
He's a great character. In the universe the MC comes from, he's a scientist who sends MC over to the parallel world, and in that world he's a military commander (if you remember my opening text scrawl thing he's Dr. Sonada). He basically just gives no fucks about everything and plays I AM MAD SCIENTIST about shit, and has this qt secretary who has to keep him in lineand they get married. And then the ending comes and does shit to that, but SPOILERS SPOILERS REDACTED
Speaking of that though, if I had to name one thing about FIRST I'm glad I got out of the way well ahead of time? It was a way to make Dual's ending not be on the last stage of the game. Which I wanted to do, but my god it seemed impossible at first.
>>13529921
Escaflowne is fantastic and I think you've missed out on a really good show if you haven't seen it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_49H_N43jQ
>>13529942
>He basically just gives no fucks about everything and plays I AM MAD SCIENTIST about shit
like Doctor Ver?
>>13529942
Is it something like Jigoku's end boss, where most people would have complained if something of that scale wasn't the last fight of the game?Is the show generally on the optimistic scale or what? It already looks EVA-ish, I've no drive to go looking at something that's going to crap all over characters you get attached to, and happy fun time openings can be deceiving.
>>13529948
I'm offput by a lot of the ending stuff in Escaflowne, there's a lot of really dumb shit near the end. Visually fantastic though, if you're into that sort of thing (and let's face it, we all are deep down), and the music is goddamn great.
>>13529942
I'm pretty sure that can be supplemented.
>>13529948
Wow, VF. You said something without sounding completely off your rocker.
Anyway, I appreciate the recommendation, but I just have way too much dogpiled on me at the moment.
>>13529966
>Is it something like Jigoku's end boss, where most people would have complained if something of that scale wasn't the last fight of the game?
The actual fight itself isn't ridiculously incredible in scale, althoughZINV limit breaking is, the problem is... well... ok, this is a pretty big spoiler and I don't want to have to spoil it for all of you, butthe two worlds are collapsing so they rewrite space and time so both were always together if somewhat different. None of the robots are left either... except ZINV, who can survive reality collapsing in such a way that it is specifically written out because it's that fucking ridiculous, and the MC goes "making a choice? na, fuck that shit, get in my robot alternate self and let's go explore space together".
And yes, it's fun. There's a bit of dark in it (mostly when the protag arrives in the parallel world and is coming to grips with being in a world WHERE HE DOESN'T EXIST, and a bit near the end), but it's pretty light all throughout.
>>13529942
>He basically just gives no fucks about everything and plays I AM MAD SCIENTIST about shit
Nice.
>>13529921
Escaflowne is great.
Its the closest thing we have to "What if Uncle Go did a Shojo?". Its got some brutal fight scenes and the mechs move with weight behind them. When Escaflowne skewers a mech it feels satisfying to watch.
Also, the true identity of the main bad guy is based, utterly based.
>>13529908
TRAITOR!
When general Ristar and general Vectorman lead us in uprising you will be the first up against the wall.
>>13529919
I'm friends with the IRL version of this guy.
>>13529930
I am triggered.
TRIGGERED.
>>13529969
>dumb shit near the end
Do you mean theIssac Newtonthing about Dunkirk, the Atlantean angel boy with Van, thegender bender sisterthing with Dilandu, or the whole plot revolving around anwish granting machine?
Fun fact: If you know what you're doing in Compact 3 you can actuallyKill Dilandu. Seeing as how this nets you a part while the alternative does not I have my suspicions that someone on staff didn't like the character.
>>13530007
I mostly mean everything having to do withWEAPONIZED SHIPPING, though the catgirl situation kind of pisses me off too. The rest of those aren't that bad (I totally saw the first coming anyway), except maybe Dilandauexcept I somehow guessed it was a girl at the start. No idea how I managed that.
>>13530007
Yeah....
When it comes to consoles, let's just say I like all of them.A hobby of mine is finding old consoles and different models that I then fix and touch up
I love fantasy mechs, which is why I have a soft spot for Dunbine.
But seriously, Amu a shit.
>>13530007
>When general Ristar and general Vectorman lead us in uprising you will be the first up against the wall.
Hey, Sonic and Cool Spot will have my back, so it's all good. (Come to think of it, much as I loved my Genesis, I never did have a huge selection for it there. Hell, I had the Sega CD and the only game for it came with it, and I never figured out how to play Sewer Shark back then.)
>>13530023
This guy gets it with consoles.
So, Compact 3 talk to remain in discussion. Of the 4 series that it used that still haven't been reused, which seems most likely to return one day? Escaflowne, Betterman, Acrobunch, or Mechander Robo?
