* AnticlimaxBoss: Not that Shuu is easier than the {{mook}}s, but [[spoiler:after fighting someone like the Dark Brain]], he's so much easier, even when he's the [[spoiler:TrueFinalBoss]] for OGG. Quite the shame that he was horrendously difficult in ''3'' and was the second hardest boss in SRW history in his Alpha Gaiden incarnation, though probably the primitiveness of the game engines for those games contribute to his difficulty back then, as well as his lack of knack of constantly casting Spirit Commands like in his Alpha Gaiden incarnation.
* DemonicSpiders: [[MacrossPlus Ghost X-9s]] in ''Alpha'' and the Katana clones in ''EndlessFrontier''.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Sanger Zonvolt began as a sympathetic enemy and late-joining SixthRanger type in ''Alpha Gaiden'', but was so popular among fans of the game he was brought back as a major character for ''Original Generation'', as a ''main'' character for ''Alpha 2'' and has a prominent role in ''Alpha 3'', ''then'' representing main timeline SRW OG in ''ProjectXZone''. Being one of, if not, '''THE''' biggest badass in the Banpresto multiverse helps.
** The Ardyguns are wildly popular as well. The fact that they have one of the most iconic GameBreaker mecha in the franchise helped a bit of their popularity. Or really, SuperRobotWarsW in general. For a one-game-only continuity DS SRW, it's so well-liked that a sizable part of the fanbase considered it the best SRW game.
** SuperRobotWarsJ is pretty popular for its mecha design, main characters and for breaking traditions, especially amongst Western players thanks to the FanTranslation.
** For the Original Generation games, theres the Agressors and the School Kids, namely Latooni Subota and Ouka Nagisa;
* GameBreaker: See [[Gamebreaker/SuperRobotWars entries here]].
* GoddamnedBats: Barrelions from ''Original Generation'', nearly all {{mook}}s in ''Destiny''
* HilariousInHindsight: Scramble Commander 2nd might not be one of the most well-received games, but it had MacrossZero and GundamSeedDestiny. In other words, two series where [[NamesTheSame the main character was named Shinn.]]
** In other words, you could say this is one area where it gets [[IncrediblyLamePun a leg up - twice]] - on the other games.
* MemeticMutation: Trombe over-* http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pYsz3ytMQ3Y *
** A scene in the final episode of Divine Wars about [[spoiler:the characters' WTF reaction on Lefina in a PlayboyBunny outfit]] is also becoming a meme on its own, usually having them get surprised on WTF scenes in other media...or even getting recursive by reacting to the reaction panels of its "Gaijin 4koma" predecessor.
** '''REAL MEN RIDE EACH OTHER!!!!'''
** Never be surprised if you suddenly see [[SuperRobotWarsK Mist Rex]] into the most recent SRW screenshot, OG or not. He's just [[TheScrappy that hated]] and the {{Troll}}s are using him to agitate the fans into thinking that he's in the new SRW.
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Playing later, better-polished and more-refined games in the series first is an '''excellent''' way to ruin the much more-primitive early entries for yourself. It's really hard to motivate yourself to get through the ExcusePlot of the NintendoHard ''first Super Robot Wars'' when there is little to no battle animation, and lacking the ability to skip the animation or for that matter, being able to choose how to react to an attack when it happens (instead you have to make one choice for the whole party)
