History Awesome / SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration

---> '''Ratsel''': "[[ShoutOut My name is Ratsel...]] [[CharClone Ratsel]] [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Feinschmecker]]!"

** ''Original Generation: The Animation'' might have fallen into the DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible category, if it weren't for Sanger suddenly appearing and uses one single strike to cleave dozens and dozens of Bartolls at once. Although it wasn't pushing it to the SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome territory, it certainly pushes it to mediocrity instead of DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible. Whenever Sanger walks, awesomeness is nearby.

** Bonus points to this scene for explaining why 99% of pilots who execute the manuveur in the games give such a [[LargeHam ham-tastic battle cry]]: ''the command console tells you to do it'' (doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}).

---> '''Sanger''': "Inherit my sword, Dygenguard... No! (cue title card, complete with flaming fonts) ''War God's Armament '''DYGENGUARD'''!''"
---> '''Vigagi''': "'War God's Armament'?" [[BreakingTheFourthWall And what does Episode 15 mean]]!?"

* Sanger unleashing his Grungust Type-0's ''[[{{BFS}} Zankantou]]'' ("Colossal Blade") and saying his CatchPhrase in his first appearance...and he actually has ''much'' more. Most famously, ''every bit'' of his events in the Earth Cradle in ''Original Generation 2''.

*** [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Yuuki Jaggar and Ricarla Borgnine]] in their respective Laz Angriff Raven and Randgrith Raven blast the arms off of the copy-SRX as the REAL SRX cleaves it in half with its "[[{{BFS}} Z.O. (Zol Orichalconium) Sword]]". Ryoto in the [=EXbein=] Boxer docks with Rio in the AM Gunner, alongside [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Villeta Vadim]] in the [=GuarBein=], firing the BFG to finish it off. Extra points to Viletta in channelling a bit of Ingram by invoking his CatchPhrase "Dead End Shot"!

* No other character perhaps embodies AuthorityEqualsAsskicking as much as [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsClassic Ring Mao]], simply because she's a the ''CEO''. of Mao Industires. While the player has access to her for one scenario in the first game, she becomes a regular in the sequel. In both cases, she deploys in the Huckebein 008L, a unit ''so'' dangerous because of the "Vanishing Trooper Incident" that clearance for its usage has to be acquired beforehand.

* Meta example: The game actually got a full English release, becoming the first OG title do so since [=OG1=] & 2 on Game Boy Advance 10 years ago. Granted, the translation [[BlindIdiotTranslation isn't exactly great]], but it is better than having to sit through pages of translation spreadsheets.

*** In a meta-moment of awesome, current [=SRW=] series producer Takanobu Terada states he wrote down the lyrics for "Fairy Dang-Sing" at night single-handedly, with Fairlion plastic model figures at his bedside.

* Website/YouTube user "Nickioh" attempts to explain XN-L's origins, but gives out an exasperated explanation that to know about it, players will have to play the series, meaning [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN1oNJXEKqs all the way back to some of the very first games Banpresto has developed]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MH_Y5U4dLo The prologue stage]] where E-Selda, [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsJudgment Touya's father]] solos the Fury and seeing how he rescues the three girls as the event was only mentioned but never shown in ''Judgment''. And E-Selda is at a very high level compared to his enemies.
* [[https://youtu.be/V-RtyAQeoWA?t=6m Touya & Shana-Mia awakening the Granteed Draconeus. The resulting combining really sells it.]]
* Aschen being the Genspenst Haken subpilot and getting to show her moves [[{{Fanservice}} and skin]] for the unit's final attack: [[https://youtu.be/iiODMlF_10s?t=13m30s Phoenix Showdown]]. Just like Kouta, she doesn't need a mecha to kick ass.
* [[https://youtu.be/gCaIG4nFbPE?t=34m36s Touya]] managing to destroy the indestructible Cross Gate with the Granteed Dracodeus in the final scenario.
* Not an event, but this game finally delivers the fans' most wanted UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny amongst the OG characters since the latter's debut: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7VBNu0btQc BFS Samurai vs Knight, Sanger Zonvolt vs Al-Van Lunks!]] Any SRW fans watching this are bound to have a mass {{Squee}} This comment usually would just seal the deal on just how awesome-inducing it is:

* [[https://youtu.be/WhqhTOZ7XHI?t=15m37s Calvina out-maneuvering Jua-Mu all over the place proving that the master is still better than the student.]] It takes Jua-Mu to [[TimeStandsStill accidentally activate his Larselium]] and cheap shot Calvina just to win.
* [[https://youtu.be/lx40feA45Gw?t=24m8s Calvina brutally curb stomping So-Des Zuo for killing and finally getting revenge on the assault at Ash'ari-Kreutzer, unlocking the Bellzelute Brigandi's strongest attack. Unfortunately, she forgets to ask where they kidnapped Touya and the Granteed.]]
* [[https://youtu.be/92YK-J7BTvg?t=2m6s G Compatible Kaiser's Over Kaiser Sword's new animation]]. Words don't do it any justice.
* [[https://youtu.be/BfBHtUX_3LA?t=11m20s The new Excellence Gunstriker Upgrades for Fiona and Raul, they can even counter the Fury's TimeStandsStill. Jua-Mu's went on a very sweet villainous breakdown when he saw them moving and even attacking him.]]

** To elaborate, he faces off against his AlternateUniverse EvilCounterpart [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Wodan Ymir]]. The force of their duel inadvertently smashes their way through the Earth Cralde withstand a ''nuclear explosion''. After several other events that might qualify as Crowning Moments in their own right (but aren't related to Sanger, natch), Sanger realizes he's sworn to protect is powering the supercomputer Magus Gebo. He then forces his badly battered Dygenguard into action by sheer force of will and destroys [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Machinery Child Uruz Egret]] with a single hit, declaring he is "Sanger...Sanger Zonvolt, the Sword of Sophia" and there is indeed ''nothing'' that his Colossal Blade cannot cut.

** ''Original Generation: The Animation'' might have fallen into the DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible category, if it weren't for Sanger suddenly appearing and uses one single strike to cleave dozens and dozens of Bartolls at once. Although it wasn't pushing it to the SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome territority, it certainly pushes it to mediocrity instead of DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible. Whenever Sanger walks, awesomeness is nearby.

** The SRX and its first display of the "[[CombinationAttack Hyper Tronium Buster cannon]]" to destroy a seemingly invincble [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Einst Regisseur]]

** Then, that scene was re-enacted, sorta, in VideoGame/EndlessFrontier EXCEED. Pete Pain AKA W03 used Code PTP to brainwash both Cardia Basilissa and Aschen Broedel (the prototypes for Echidna and Lamia). He succeeded in making Cardia blow herself up in front of Haken & co and Aschen was next to blow herself up. Axel was nearby. He was amnesiac. Stand there and do nothing? HELL NO. He recalled and repeated the same method to Aschen while not being sure if it's going to work (since his amnesia gets in his way). The result? IT WORKS. Not even amnesia can bar Axel from being awesome.

* In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', after the scientist Donna defects from the Federation to help her injured son, she places him in the monster-like Wendigo SuperRobot to prove to the Federation higher-ups her project has its benefits. Unfortunately, the showcasing involves the Wendigo leveling the base. [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Kai Kitamura]], who is at the facility, reminds her its the pilot, not the machine, that's most important. He proceeds to defeat the Wendigo and tell the grieving Donna he saved her son because he doesn't want any unnecessary deaths. To prove the kind of man that he is, Kai makes it so Donna is given some leniency for her help in finding information on the group she's working for.
** How dare you miss out on how Kai whips that Wendigo! He uses a friggin' mass-produced Gespenst MK II and pulls off some of the most insane physical feats the machine can ever do...by '''overriding preset controls to manual'''!
* ''Original Generation Gaiden'' has another: the birth of the Apotheosized Ialdabaoth. A BrainwashedAndCrazy [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact3 Fernando Albark]] starts pounding on brother [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact3 Folka Albark]], also revealing he too HAS evolved his Valefor, but born out of jealousy and rage. Folka gathers up his positive thought, which resonates with the Ialdabaoth...and then...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6srtrnZ4s4 AWESOME MUSIC]] blares, it evolves, kicks the Valefor's ass big time, proving jealousy-based power is rendered insignificant.
** The scene where he pulled his first HeelFaceTurn is by its own rights also awesome. After ThePowerOfLove [[LoveRedeems redeems]] him, Folka proceeded to own the Shura squadron SINGLE-HANDEDLY... only with Ialdabaoth's weaker attacks, and manages to damage Fernando quite a bit with it, until eventually both agreed to go on full force... then... he starts whipping out [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Shinken]]-esque moves for the remainder of the game.

** Wodan's appearance when Vigagi is about to get a bead on Sanger's Grungust Type-3 with his Galgau.
