Missed Moment Of Awesome was renamed to Offscreen Moment Of Awesome and refers to events that take place off-screen rather than events which did not take place at all or failed to be sufficiently epic

While Dragon the bombardier does go up against Nanoha, ShockAndAwe KnifeNut Shank goes up not against Cinque or Fate but Vita, ColdSniper Hawkeye faces Fate rather than Vice and MoreDakka BarrierWarrior Brute has to settle for Signum rather than Yuuno, Arf or Zafira. On that note, Dragon is technically a fire mage and should probably have gone against Signum.

I actually like both Rebuild of Evangelion and Tiberium Wars. Pvt. Marona was just a coincidence. The Mari Shikinami was trying to come up with a Japanese name that is not stupid using the NGE method (Take generic Japanese personal name and use an IJN ship for a family name)
