* AlternateSelfShipping: ''Reversal'' gives players the choice of either playing as [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsReversal Raul or Fiona Gureden]], who's really the same person. Plenty of FanWorks shipped them together, but when they were brought into ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' as HalfIdenticalTwins, it became BrotherSisterIncest.
* BreatherBoss: In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', compared to [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact3 Shura King Alkaid Nassh]] in the previous scenario and the upcoming FinalBoss, [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsReversal Duminuss]] is pathetically easy.
* DracoInLeatherPants: Despite being outright cruel, [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsReversal Tis]] and her {{Moe}} look has enough of a fanbase.
* GameBreaker: See [[Gamebreaker/SuperRobotWars here]] for details.
* {{Moe}}: [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsReversal Despinis]]; She really hits the spot - docile, fragile, painfully shy and [[ApologisesALot can't seem to go a few sentences without apologizing]], even as a villain. [[spoiler:These abundant character traits might explain why she was SparedByTheAdaptation for ''Original Generation'']].
* TheScrappy: Of the Excellence's many frames, the one deemed most pointless is the Diver. As the name implies, its primary function is aquatic combat, but given the small amount of scenarios in ''Reversal'' where terrain is water-based and it becomes useless and ineffective against every other terrain, there's almost no point in ever using it; even the Striker frame performs moderately well underwater (not to mention, for underwater necessities, Neo/Shin Getter 3 does the job better and it can switch into other forms once the temporary water problem is finished). It comes as no surprise that the frame is AdaptedOut for ''Original Generation''.

** {{Zigzagged}}: similar to ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance'', battle animations cannot be skipped; fortunately, they can be turned off.
** In one of the early scenarios for ''Reversal'', the Excellence's frame gets destroyed while TakingTheBullet for [[Anime/GEARFighterDendoh Dendoh]]. The protagonist's team launches another frame from the battleship, allowing him/her to stay in the fight. [[CutscenePowerToTheMax Players can't do this in the game]], and can only change frames during scenarios by heading to a battleship to dock and manually choose which ones to sortie back out as, thereby wasting a turn. This undermines the whole point of a HumongousMecha having [[MechaExpansionPack access to multiple frames for multiple situations]]. Rectified in ''Original Generation'' by turning the Excellence into a TransformingMecha capable of switching its frames as players see fit.
* [[HesJustHiding She's Just Hiding]]: In ''[[VideoGameRemake Original Generations]]'', Fiona delivers some sort of "farewell" death speech to her brother and friends in the prologue scenarios, making it apparent she might be killed (''moreso'' than [[spoiler:[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia Loveless]]]] in the "2.5" bonus segments). It took one {{trailer|sAlwaysSpoil}} for ''Original Generation Gaiden'' to ruin the suspense, hence the lack of spoilers.

* {{Wangst}}: Fiona's ''Reversal'' counterpart usually had her pull this with regards to how she thinks she's a hindrance to [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsReversal Raji Montaya]] and his research.
