So, uh, is there any point in getting Vanity Ripper at this point?
I just lose 600 damage and gain nothing. Unless there's some kind of secret thing involved with it.
>>14323816
It may seem weaker but it's actually stronger because its Base is higher and once you max it out it'll crap out damage for cheap.

>I'm not very familiar with how Alpha Gaiden calculates its shit but is +10 to all stats a comparable bonus to the damage boost other abilities give?
Like 5% for Alpha Gaiden and probably 10% for Winkysoft era... and that's like pre-Armor, so in reality it'll be a lot less while Mazin Power clones are just added at the end which is significantly better.
So really, not that impressive from a pure damage perspective.
>Cross Ange in SRW before Valvrage
This feels fucking weird. Not really in a bad way. More like waking up on top of a walrus on a billiard table.
I would have hoped they would have kept on with the same teasing they did for BX.
It's possible that they'd do it for future titles that aren't part of an anniversary, but still.
>>14323958
I don't want either of them in. That said VVV would have made more sense than Cross Ange and the reaction would have been more funny. Cross Ange is just bleh as a mecha anime and the fanbase obviously didn't watch it for the mechs either given how lame they were.
Who do you think will be the last non-OG boss dealt with in V? I'd like to think maybe the last battle would involve ZERO, but that's likely only if they do something with Hades, and even then it's a bit of a stretch.

>>14324015
Recent covers had 11 to 13 robots, which means everyone BUT the Gundams can fit. The real question is which Gundam. They can cram 2, but thats it.
And BX just had Nadesico on the cover, despite having Akito Aestivalis already, so the Yamato will fit just fine...Now that I think about it, it was kinda of foreshadowing having a ship on the cover...
>>14323155
In the Alphas, PLAs are never worth a shit. Lady Command is worth fielding 1 pilot or 2, but Musashi doesn't really help it much.

>Which version of Cross Ange, because if you intend to watch the BDs, you have a pro in the form of a certain character being introduced earlier in a certain episode, with said character originally showing up later in the original version of said episode, and a con in the form of more censorship.
The BDs, I think.
>>14323872
See, I can't be mad at them for that, because SRW has literally borrowed things from past games in every single game but 1.
Before someone tries to be all smartass and say Shin, no, Shin borrowed map sprites.

>Silhouette formula F91
top kek. But seriously, it's amazing we got Crossbone back.
>>14323989
Okay I can forgive most of those guesses but how the fuck can you guess Silhouette?
Everyone fucking called it was undebiably Unicorn on first sight.
Same for the YF-29.
>>14324044
The guesses weren't real. That person was saying a bunch of silly series, by the time the actual art came out we had known most of what was on the box (with the exception of Akito's Aesti, we thought it was what that was but it made no sense to have two series reps on the box.
>>14324015
>>14324037
It's pretty clear they didn't want AGE to be represented on the boxart, hence the Aestivalis.
>>14324048
Don't bully AGE.
>>14323923
So the whole of the Crossbones will be Tobia and Bernadette?
>>14324062
And Harrison in his blue f-91.And B-Gundam.
>>14324062
I want playable Umon personally
What are the units worth upgrading in BX?
>>14324073
I think it's easier to say which ones aren't worth using like the Promaxis and X-Astevalis
>>14324062
well hard to say,
vanilla Crossbone manga does have Kinkaid in the X-1 and Tobia in the X-3, but skull heart and steel 7 switch Tobia to MC and Kinkaid is left in the dust until fucking Ghost
so if anything, we should be seeing at least the X-1 Skull Heart, Harrison's blue F91, X-1 Full Cloth, Giri's Vigna Gina-F91 mix, the old as fuck F90 and that other mech with a face that the sister of the bad guy from Steel 7 uses
>>14324073
Grandpa Frito
>>14324074
So I guess it's up to preference? I'm not far in the game, currently GaoGaiGar is my most upgraded mech. I want to spend a lot on Mazin SKL and then Unicorn when I get it too.
>>14324082
You'll easily get enough money to get EVERY unit you're using to 5 bars or more.
>>14324062
Well I don't know about Seabook but Kincaid is the main pilot of the Crossbone vanguard, we know it has its plot and it can't do that without him. We can still get Newtype Ace Umon and Lolison even if he's skipped to avoid the inheritance nightmare, I do hope we get all three xbones so Puru 2 has something to pilot though.
>>14324084
but isn't all of Crossbone UNITS ONLY bullshit?
>>14324080
Doesn't the old F90 appears in Steel 7? If anything I think we'll just get Full cloth from that. We'll get the Crossbones, the blue F91, some Crossbone grunts and maybe a few Flints
>>14324089
Only Steel 7 is units only
>>14324089
Only Steel 7.
Both OG Crossbone and Skull Heart are listed as a typical listing, iirc.
>>14324073
Basically everything. There's a few units not really worth it, but you can make them good if you want.
>>14324074
X-Aesti would be ok in this game if it didn't come so ridiculously fucking late, too.
>>14324082
Basically yeah. You can get everyone on your last team up to 5 bars easily if you don't spend money on your other guys and don't make your entire team up of really early joiners.
>>14324089
No? That'd be silly.
>>14324089
Isn't it more like they're doing Steel 7 and Crossbone and Skull Heart are the units only series?
>>14324092
yes, the F90 with a rocket shield or something out of the museum and yes, the Flints
HOPEFULLY, Amakusa appears as an enemy unit at least
>>14324089
Steel 7 is units only which most likely means we're getting the Full Cloth only and maybe an upgrade to Harrison's F91 if we're lucky, if we get anything else from Steel 7 we can consider ourselves lucky.
>>14324101
Amakusa appear in Skull Heart too, when ""Grey Stoke"" ask Tobia's help to destroy them
>>14324100
It's this.
>>14324052
Your AGE ends here old man.
>>14324052
I'll bully what I want, old man.
>>14324081
Too bad you get Genocide Grandpa in the last quarter of the game, and only get THE NUKE after the AGE finale.
>>14324080
Kinkaid went off to play daddy.
>>14324089
Steel 7 is units only so normal Crossbone and Skull Heart has plot.
However, this could be a case where they put in some unique made post game plot for Crossbone which they have done in the past for series that they didn't list as Units only.
If this is the case then it's entirely possible for some story stages set post Crossbone where Tobia now leads the Crossbone on the X1, leading to Skull Heart, leaving Seabook to be with Cecily in peace.
Too bad we're getting ZZ, that means we're not getting old man Judau
>>14324106
That comes off backwards as fuck if they're using post-Amakusa Tobias portrait but marking vanilla Crossbone as the main plot, it's giving off quite a few bad vibes about the extent of Crossbone's story.
Probably going to have some time travel then in V to explain the existence of Judau and Grey Stoke then.
>>14323958
That's not the weird part.
The weird part is

>>14324118
>Too bad you get Genocide Grandpa in the last quarter of the game, and only get THE NUKE after the AGE finale.
Amusingly it says volumes about how ridiculous Genocide Grandpa and THE NUKE is when you can go from 0 kills to top ace in the space of the final stretch of the game alone.
This in a game where even the most mediocre units can be turned into Demonbane the second coming.
>>14324126
>That comes off backwards as fuck
Welcome to SRW V
Also, the captain from Skull Heart has the same voice as Murrue so maybe we're getting both
>>14324141

>>14324145
>even the most mediocre units can be turned into Demonbane the second coming.
Let's not go too far. UX was similarly "any unit can be made into a death god", but Demonbane stood out well above the rest even then. A closer comparison to Demonbane in UX is King J-Der in BX.
>>14324145
The only reason Flit didn't end up as my top ace was because Yurika was already 100+ kills ahead of anyone else
>>14324126
>That comes off backwards as fuck if they're using post-Amakusa Tobias portrait but marking vanilla Crossbone as the main plot
>Probably going to have some time travel then in V to explain the existence of Judau and Grey Stoke then.
Or, you know, maybe they won't, because this game's plot has been handled and is as of now a total unknown.

Hopefully it's the power rangers one that turns into xenoblade, I'll be fine with whatever as long as Mafty gets his theme.
>>14324184
Sounds like it came from a R-Type.Sounds awesome.
>>14324182
I trust that the content we've seen from V will go through some changes in future releases.
I wouldn't be surprised if what we've seen from V was all they've got for it so far. Considering when the cast list was finalized, they probably just rushed out whatever they could put out so they could show it off at the event.
>>14324187
>it's the power rangers one that turns into xenoblade
Holy shit, I can unhear those parts now
>>14324182
They tried animating a style they don't know how to, that is what with virtually no development time.
>>14324189
Most likely. After all they have a whole year ahead to finish it.
>>14324189
I fucking hope so, but I don't know just how much they can completely redo when the game is scheduled for next year
>>14324185
Nah son time travel. Z, ZZ, and CCA happen before the beginning of Armageddon. Time skip through some magical device and then while you still have your units you will do Unicorn and Crossbone. Or they use CA.
>>14324193
They've had two games to get used to it, have dev time since at least the end of Z3 to next year, and they have at least one animator (the 00/Crossbone/Unicorn dude) who seems to know what the hell he's doing which just highlights the fact that the rest of them seem to be incompetents getting told to just do whatever.
Low budget and low dev time are okay excuses but even then there's limits to how far you can stretch them.
>>14324141
Low-hanging-fruit-tier jokes are a universal constant, it seems.
>>14324189
Even if they didn't, I think it looks fine. Now I just need to decide what to save up for (probably PS4).
>>14324197
Not entirely unheard of for a few changes, at least. A Psybuster attack got changed between it's appearance in a 2nd OGs PV and the actual game, and the game version looked better.Honestly I'll likely enjoy it no matter how it turns out, but it'd be hilarious if V ends up turning most of the doubt on it around and becomes the game people wish Z3 was or something.
>>14324208
>but it'd be hilarious if V ends up turning most of the doubt on it around and becomes the game people wish Z3 was or something.
So far, V is looking to basically just be all the content that was supposed to be in Z3 made into a game with a few series tacked onto it, so this is kind of a foregone conclusion.
Basically, anything they add to V, you're gonna have people asking "But where was this in Z3?"
>Z team tries HD 2D animation again with V instead of giving a shot at the slightly more 3D style TOSE goes for with OG
but why
>>14324217
Have to hire new people to handle the modeling and update their engine to support that system.
>>14324217
Money. It wouldn't surprise me if OG games had a budget three times bigger than the ones of other SRW games (discounting the obligatory chunk of budget that goes to series and music licenses)
>>14324214
And every time, we'll answer that Sumeragi decided it was better to fight separately.

About the tall handsome stranger who swept you off your feet to a rose petal bed?

>>14324228
But even accounting for money, the OG team seems significantly more competent across the board while the Z team never learns or improves, and seems to actually become worse over time.
>>14324228
>(discounting the obligatory chunk of budget that goes to series and music licenses)
That's the thing. That shit is expensive, yo. I'm sure it's not like if OG games had more budget, but that they can use all that money they don't waste on licenses to improve their games instead.
>>14324252
OG team also has substantially better circumstances surrounding their products.
Meanwhile, Z team keeps getting more rushed products.
In D when the two groups meet up on scenario 9, after the scenario there is a choice, does anyone know what it affects?
>>14324256
Pretty much this. OG team tends to have like three years of development time while most SRW titles seems to barely have one year of development time. And they can also afford giving everybody the same animation style because its their property while normal SRW tries (with varies degrees of success) to give each show a similar feeling to their anime versions
It's also because they are original units and they can do whatever they want with them,and it shows.Animators like having sex with them.
Meanwhile licensed product needs to be show accurate
>>14324265
It's to ask you whether you like the name of your band of merry gentle/m/en or if you want to change it.
>>14324271
There's a good question, related to that.
What will the V team be called?
>>14324270
>Meanwhile licensed product needs to be show accurate
To be honest, being "show accurate" is starting to seem more and more like a crutch that the Z team are using to avoid having to make their own attack choreography.
And, even then, how is making the Cross Ange robot a weightless mess show-accurate?
>>14323727
SallyxArado,Seolla can pretend being Fairy
>>14324280
And if half of the TV Gundams were show accurate, most of their attacks would amount to stills sliding across the screen going pew pew.
Calvina's eye close-up cutin during Orgone Rifle A makes me a think you can either swap her in Granteed, and put Touya in Beelze, or that at least it was planned, as those cutins are actually pretty generic and used in tons of mechs, in which case it's pretty fair to guess you'll be able to switch them up next game.
Calvina SHOULD at least be able to pilot other mechs besides Beelze in OGMD, Touya can wait a game for that after he's gotten more used to piloting stuff.

Vilkiss basically is a Kira Yamato-fighting style machine (after he got the Freedom). And since Kira is in game, Ange can just say she learned by mimicking the Strike Freedom when it is not beam-spamming.
>>14324286
Sally is pretty cute.She has a cute bounce as well.
>>14324270
>Meanwhile licensed product needs to be show accurate
That's more something the handheld team maintains at this point, compare Z3's 00 animations to UX/BX - one is basically straight out of the movie, the other does new things.
What IS important is that they can't bullshit new things. If you want to say Soul Saber FF can make fire out of nothing, or Granteed has a chest drill, you can. If you want to say Mazinger Z has a giant beam saber or Zambot 3 can transform into a giant bird, you can't.
>>14324301
>Ange is revealed to be a Kira fangirl
>>14324301
What does Kira Yamato and the Freedom have to do with the Vilkiss's animation being hot garbage
>>14324204
>and they have at least one animator (the 00/Crossbone/Unicorn dude) who seems to know
That is even then arguable with Harute's finisher looks in Z3, it's just a mess of random shooting and cutins with no attempt at choreography. It's non-fancy regular attacks are actually pretty good however.
But yeah a lack of experienced animators is a pretty apparent problem at the moment yet they insist on animating beyond their own abilities.
>Low budget
Not even applicable to Z3, it's no secret the mainline games are money sinks and they've been throwing money at the games like a motherfucker at the expense of the spinoffs.
The whole problem I suspect is this new attitude of the devs of instead of focusing on a few series which make sense. They reach for all the big mainline series along with the most recent thing and duct tape them together and try overwhelm the casuals with star appeal alone instead of focusing on doing something reachable very well.
>>14324246
Even Wuxia hates itself, most stories de-evolve into a Xianxia esque literal dick growing contest anyway and yes that was intentional.
You'll get some secret art that suddenly makes the protagonist able to grow a 12 inch dick, 8 pack and blue eyes, blonde hair and when he meets a enemy with a 13 inch dick he'll have a growth spurt to a 14 inch dick and also grow a bottomless bank account and a Ferrari.

Especially when considering that going by its Z3 animations which V is no doubt reusing, SF looks miles better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USm0JpJZ6pg
GSD units are one of the few units in Z3 where the cut-ins didn't seem really out of place or used to mask bad animations.
>>14324214
>>14324242
Or, in Daitarn 3's case, Banjo killed all of the Meganoids by himself.
>>14324329
When I say 00, I mean the 00 itself.
From what I can get, I think that the guy did the 00 Gundams sans the Kyrios line, the Unicorn units and the major Code Geass units, and is now doing the Crossbone units, as well? I think? They all have that really nice and weighty and well-choreographed style which feels like the original shows without sacrificing that SRW feel that I enjoy thoroughly.
>>14324214
At this point V's chances of success come down to two things.
a) Having a competant story writer, you can look past shitty animation if the fanfic is actually interesting. Let's face it, if Z3's only problem was shitty animation it could've easily been ignored if the gameplay and story were decent. They were not.
b) Counting on the Asia/English edition to bring in a whole new hoard of unwashed masses of fans. In this scenario it doesn't matter how bad a job you do, new toy syndrome will do the job. Bamco have already had that experience with PxZ being a runaway hit despite being lacklustre.
>>14324338
No, they'll give it Mighty Vulcan, Battle Slicer, and Signal Beam straight off. But even if they did go show accuracy it's have a Melee and the basic Dorinken slash from the PV. (Maybe that bird missile it used once)
You should be more concerned about Tribomber, who to my recollection has NO named attacks.
>>14324168
What custom BGMs are everybody going to use?
I'm going with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETfiUYij5UE for Might Gaine.
>>14324309
Can they give variable fighters beam sabers like in Daicon 4 though
>>14324355

Aptly fitting for my preferences between both tokusatsu and SRW. (Nothing against Kamen Rider though, I just prefer Sentai, and the divide between OG and licensed SRW is razor-thin, really)
>>14324360
I thought V wasn't gonna have custom BGMs. Or was I getting memed on?
>>14324363
Vita version still could easily but Sony went full retard on the PS4, you can't put MP3's on it. Probably to push one of the shitty music apps on the system or something.
>>14324369
> Probably to push one of the shitty music apps on the system or something.
Sony owns a record label. Of course they would gimp the music player on their console to protect their profits.
>>14324369
>Sony went full retard on the PS4, you can't put MP3's on it.
wait wat
seriously? wat the fuck man, this was perfect in the PS3
>>14324342
That MAP better be back unchanged in the next one, it's overshadowed because it's in a game with Wing Zero, Turn A and DX but it was my favorite. You just paired him with someone that has Yell+ and an SP regen item then dropped them in the middle of an enemy pack, he dodges everything because he's Kira then you cast mercy which always works because he's Kira, then bring the entire map to 10hp for everyone else to clean up in a single shot because he's packing so many modifiers it ends up +90% crit rate. It was just like the show.
It made much more sense to get him 30 stages in like in 3.1 rather than 7 in .2.
>>14324355
>gameplay
What was wrong with the gameplay? It played like any other SRW game.
>>14324277
Vanguard.
>>14324352
I can believe that, there did seem to be some wild inconsistency in the quality of animations even within a specific series. (FMP also comes to mind)
Though by major Code Geass units are you talking about specific units again? Because I know they did shit all with Lancelot Albion, it is directly traced straight from Z2. They didn't even bother fixing up it's pallette to make it less obvious.
>>14324363
PS4 can still do Custom BGMs but its not as functional as the PS3's or hell, even the PSP.
Unlike those where you could load stuff onto a memory stick and transfer it, you have to use it via USB and what not. It makes organizing tracks a mess too.
>>14323783
The hell is that Not Gunbuster thing?
>>14324383
Confusing balance choices (like all Reals being on a worse upgrade tier than the Supers despite having lower bases) and Tag Tension literally being a more broken version of Continuous Action.
>>14324352
Zabanya was handled by a different animator, too.
Same person who did the FMP animations.
>>14324358
>You should be more concerned about Tribomber, who to my recollection has NO named attacks.
Well, that's fair enough.
>Tribomber
>shit, there's no attacks, what do
>uhh, have it ram into things
>>14324391
It's from Pani Poni Dash, it's actually more Not Gaiking then Not Gunbuster, it's finisher was even the Counter Cross I recall.
And yes it does actually fight a Reimu Yukkuri in the actual show.
>>14324360
Some G Generation spirits songs for Hathaway Flash and Crossbone that aren't used in anything else ever.

>>14324355
Well, being standalone kinda helps it, since there is no worries about what is to be reserved for the sequels...Unless V ends up selling TOO well...
>>14324385
All Hakai-hen Code Geass units, Gurren, Lancelot and Shinkirou and china guy's thing for Z2 (the rest were handed off to the Aquarion guy, I think) and Lancelot and Gurren for Z3.
Come to think of it, I think he might've also done the Wing units for Z2? Maybe Dai-Guard? They all have that same look to them. Either that, or there's actually two competent animators on board.
>>14324398
How terrifying.
>>14324392
Ah yes, it was a dick move to make the reals be 5000-1000 points points below supers, but I don't see anything wrong with tag tension, is just yet another tool to break the game like any other they gave before such as spirits, and you need an unit with a super powerful post movement with plenty of ammo ALL with the weapons fully upgraded to take advantage of it anyways.
If SRW tried to make games balanced, it should just remove/turbo nerf spirit commands and make upgrades only go at best to 5 bars, because that's the kind of shit that turns the games into easy modo
>>14324392
>(like all Reals being on a worse upgrade tier than the Supers despite having lower bases)
Not quite, M sized reals were the ones stuck in the 1600 tier.
The problem? Pretty much every super, except Gurren Lagann which is in the 1400 tier, is also in that exact same upgrade tier, the 1900 tier that was basically universal across M sized real barely even exists. And it doesn't stop there, a good number of reals LOSE power going from 3.1 to 3.2, it's especially noticeable with the 00 units, their biggest upgrade (besides Quanta) is getting a whopping +300 base AP to their finishers, after Tengoku substracted 200 from them because I don't know, fuck reals?
I mean for fuck's sake, Durandal's vanilla ISC Maneuver in Saisei was 4700, going to 6600 at 10 upgrades, and 7000 with the FUB, on top of its natural S ranks in sky and space.
In Tengoku? It's like 4600 and caps at fucking 6200, and then it gets ISCM Overdrive, which is literally Saisei's ISC, starts at a 5000 base power, which would be impressive if it weren't for the fact it caps at 6600 and doesn't have a FUB buff, so it literally ends up weaker than Saisei's.
But then Shinka comes in and that's when you know they REALLY weren't giving a single fuck about game balance.
>>14324397
It's going to have:
>Melee
>MAYBE a split attack to the animal forms, but they didn't have attacks either until about 3/5 of the way through the show
>that karate chop it always used to kill things since it's a Brave series and stock footage abounds
But I kept fucking tally when I watched that show to see what all was possible, barring they go full Dai Guard and give it multiple melee moves it's SoL until Battle Bomber.
Why the braves needs pilots if they are sentient? In before because its cool
>>14324398
>dat pic
haha wat the fuck
by the way, still no news about the 4th touhou SRW game? its been ages already!
>>14323932
My first playthough of CotE, nobody broke 100 kills. The highest was Sakito with 81.
>>14323935
>not really sure how many stages MK1 is total.
I think somewhere in the 40s.
>>14324421
Because they need extra spirit commands
>>14324421
Many of them don't have pilots
>>14324425
Speaking about masoukishin, after playing through the saga, it feels just weird how the generic battle theme went from being used for quite a lot of units to be almost exclusive of one-two pilots
>>14324432
That's only for the support cast braves? Because in the all braves combination attack video somebody showed in the previous thread, all the brave mains there were piloted
>>14324421
Might Gaine is the only one that does in that show though. And Gaine CAN control it, it's just more powerful with a human so they only do that when Great is in the picture (one episode had Hamada pilot Might Gaine and be a subpilot for Great, which was cool).
The Bombers and Divers have no pilots, neither does Might Gunner, and Might Kaiser isn't sapient.
As for the rest of the Braves, only a few are sapient and also have pilots. Gaogaigar, Captain Shark (arguably, Walter doesn't do that much piloting), J-Decker one time with a solid in story reason, and, uh... I guess you could be a pedant and say Shadow Dagwon?
>>14324440
Fire J-Decker wasn't, Raijin-Oh is neither a Brave nor sapient, same with Dai Layzer IIRC, Super Fire Dagwon's pilot is the machine...
>>14324407
>If SRW tried to make games balanced, it should just remove/turbo nerf spirit commands and make upgrades only go at best to 5 bars,
Funny thing that is kind of what UX did...well the handheld games in general anyway.
>>14324410
>But then Shinka comes in and that's when you know they REALLY weren't giving a single fuck about game balance.
And that is just where Z3 gets confusing because it's also obvious they didn't give a fuck about show accuracy either with all the dropped stuff or the look. So was there anything they did care about?
Remember how people both on 2ch and /m/ joked about the Mazinger's true power event being a simple stat boost and Z3-2 then actually made it the actual upgrade? The fans gave them the benefit of the doubt, everyone suspected it'd be a scripted event leading to a new original move.
It's one thing to make cynical jokes about game design but it's another when the dev go and prove there is a hint of truth in every joke.

Who's the lucky guy who's about to savagely rape her? I don't recognize those gloves
I wonder how good the Yamato's final attack will be. I seem to remember a clip posted a while back that showed it having some really long cinematic from the source material that was longer than even the battleship moves from OG, and it completely destroyed some kind of floating island or something?
Come to think of it, the 00 guy feels like the only one of the crew that's improved any.
Like, comparing V's 00 Quanta to Z3's, that sword attack is a bit more dynamic and doesn't revert to that weird and awkward default pose it had. It's the one straight up improvement over the previous game I can think of across all the stuff they've shown.
>>14324423
Probably not till Comiket.
Last update news they made was about them, doing some AI tweaks and trying to rebalance the partner system and Full Power Mode (the FMW equivilent of Maximum Break).
>>14324477
Maybe I just haven't looked at Z3 in a while or maybe I'm just easy to please, but it all looks better to me. I think the game looks great already.
Though I admit the Daitarn 3 part gets me each time if only for that last part with Daitarn just holding the mace part of Daitarn Hammer and going "Alley-oop" onto the tank with it. Is that show accurate?
>>14324456
It finished well before Fafner Exodus did so that's to be expected.
>>14324471
Remember how long the charge time on the Argama's main cannon is? Remember how SRW never gave a shit about that?
The Yamato will be fine.
>>14324471
Hagane is an OG Donut Steel Yamato already
So imagine that but probably with a MAP version (which the Hagane and Hiryuu really should've had by now, but the OG team hates MAPs on anyone that's not a Masoukishin)
>>14324487
No amount of show-accuracy will save it from looking goofy and drawn out as hell.
>>14324456
At this point I'm just expecting MJP to appear in a portable console, the team rabbits is too big and I don't think they'll spend the budget on them. The same goes for Fafner Exodus
Record Breaker as secret unit?
>>14324503
Maybe we can get Super Hirai Wars
>>14324501
>the OG team hates MAPs on anyone that's not a Masoukishin
They better not fuck up Brigandi's Homing Laser MAP
>>14324505
That's from Steel 7, not happening. The same goes for F90, Dionna and Vigna Ghina II
>>14324502
>looking goofy and drawn out as hell.
Daitarn is pretty damn goofy as a show to begin with. Hell, most of the promotional art give off the impression it's more serious than it actually is at times.
>>14324488
I actually wouldn't mind it, I love overblown stuff like that, it's just the only thing I really remember about Yamato. Even in SRC Dungeon the classic Yamato had a pretty long "animation" for it. (Half of it being the countdown from 10, but still)Also I didn't know the Argama had a long charge time.
>>14324514
But I thought steel 7 was in the game (albeit in units only quality), so what's stopping them from giving it as a secret?
>>14324514
Steel 7 is unit-only. That's a unit.
>>14324532
>>14324533
They'll be lazy as fuck and just give us Full Cloth.
>>14324502
I feel that Daitarn should look a little goofy, it was a pretty goofy show and Daitarn itself sometimes got caught in that.
>>14324534
and only give it like 4 attacks despite having a MASSIVE arsenal
>>14324534
Maybe. Maybe.
On the other hand, CCA was units only in Z and we got more than one unit from it. And BX had two units from its unit only series.
>>14324382
Yeah, Kira and friends should always join later.
L did it perfectly, having them join later but beforehand actually helping out at times.
I just realized no matter how they handle CCA in V, I'll complain.
If it's just Nu vs Sazabi again I'll just complain that they're just using the same units Z3 had.
If it's Hi-Nu vs Nightingale if the Z team could add them in for V, where the fuck were they in Z3?
fuyukai desu
>>14324529
>>14324539
Not goofy in a funny way, goofy in a "this doesn't look right" way.
>>14324552
Its gonna end up with "Where they the fuck were they in Z3?" anyway, especially given the inclusion of ZERO.
>>14324549
Not to mention it at least did a little something with it that constituted as story, even if not from it's source material.
I mean, I don't know if Sirbine amounted to anything more than "that thing Shot Weapon left sitting around," but I do at least remember Zwauth getting hijacked by Neo Black Dragon for a bit. (Was it always like that since it first appeared taking down some Galient baddies, or was it only later that he took control?)
>>14324558
I'm willing to bet about half of the stuff we're seeing here is stuff they were thinking of putting in Z3 but couldn't implement because that shit was rushed out the fucking door.
>>14324503
I can live with that. Portable Nintendo SRWs are where they can go crazy with the licenses anyway.Plus, in the event that Nintendo finally lends its sci-fi IPs for an installment, it would be a wet dream.
>>14324552
>>14324558
I wouldn't worry about that. It's best to judge a game by its own merits and failings, and if one game had X but not another game, don't judge them for how they differ.
There are plenty of reasons to hate Z3, and plenty of reasons to like it. There will likely be plenty of reasons to hate V, and plenty to like it. Why drag one game down with expectations from another?
What is it with the Z team and removing all the interesting shows in favor of the dullest rereturners, anyways?
Going from Z3 to V, you had the perfect opportunity to do stuff with shows like VOTOMS or Gunbuster or even Diebuster, but instead they brought back Daitarn and Zambot and freakin' Rebuild again. Same thing that happened to most of ZEUTH going from Z2 to Z3.
>>14324552
I Just hope they pull a D or a Z3 and Char is actually a cool guy instead of going full retard, because for going full retard Full Frontal is a better scapegoat. And that makes me wonder how they will justify his existence when the real Char is very alive this time.
>>14324552
When they used Hi-Nu and Nightingale before they listed like Beltorchika's Children/MSV or was just CCA?
>>14324573
When they're this close together and look this similar and are by the same team, there's just no way to not compare the two.
The game reeks to high heaven of being unfinished Z3 content with a sliver of new stuff.
>>14324567
>Was it always like that since it first appeared taking down some Galient baddies, or was it only later that he took control?
It was always like that. Which makes sense, compare Satan Gundam to Neo Black Dragon and you'll find that most of the new parts look eerily like Zwauth bits.
>>14324586
>there's just no way to not compare the two.
There is. You just don't compare them. Pretty simple really.
>>14324583
They almost never list BC or MSV.
Rather, I think they never do.
>>14324583
JP Wiki only says CCA
>>14324583
Just CCA.
And in V's case I'm curious that if it is jut reused assets why the 2017 release date? That seems like a long way away.
>>14324567
Zwauth didn't just get hijacked by Black Dragon. It was literally the vessel that he used until he could fully revive himself and until Burn hijacked it iirc.
I can't remember the reasoning for Sirbine exactly but it wouldn't surprise me if it was the just whole "ancient relic buried underground" card, considering the stage you get it takes place on the Gorg island if I recall.
>>14324583
Normally, just CCA. I'd assume they'd fall under that anyway, considering unless they explicitly cover the plot as Nightingale and Hi-Nu are essentially just MSVs.
Did Zeta look that bad in Z3 too?
In that Hyper Mega Launcher animation it looks like it changes proportions every time it moves.
>>14324602
Because it has eleven entries that will have completely new assets done from scratch (or only 10 in the unlikely case they reuse assets from Z1 for Destiny)?
Besides, it is expected that they will fix some of the older assets.
>>14324586
>there's just no way to not compare the two.
There is.
It's called getting your head out of your ass.
>look this similar
>and are by the same team
Wow, two games made by the same people with the same animators look similar. Who would have fucking figured.
