* ImprovedSecondAttempt: In true ''Super Robot Wars'' fashion, there're a couple, above and beyond saving some characters from death.
** ''Nadesico'': Gai Daigouji's sudden, tragic early death might've been an important thematic milestone in the original story, but it was still a deliberate AntiClimax. Here, he perishes [[HoldTheLine in a dramatic holding action to save everyone else]] [[spoiler: even if the player can also ensure his survival]]. By the same token, Yurika still causes the deaths of the Mars colonists, but rather than an act of impulsive jealousy, here it's a hard call in a no-win scenario, activating the Distortion Field to save the ship from Gradosian assault since, if she doesn't, both the ''Nadesico'' and the colonists will die, [[AllForNothing and it won't have mattered that she refused to kill them to save herself]].

Added DiffLines:

* LowTierLetdown: It feels that the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Skygrasper's forms]] and performance in the anime were swapped in ''J'' where the commonly used Launcher Grasper is the worst to use compared to the MemeticLoser Sword Grasper. The Sword Grasper has a powerful free attack post-movement attack with good range which only has slightly less range than the Aile Grasper's ammunition-based beam rifle and the strong but non post-movement Launcher Grasper. The Skygrasper is focused on dodging but the Launcher Grasper decreases the evasion of a FragileSpeedster unit. Unless the player is a fan of Gundam SEED or want to play the stages lore accurate, the Skygraspers are better off replaced by the likes of the [[Anime/TekkamanBlade Blue Earth]] or even ''[[Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}} Boss Borot]]'' as the latter two have multiple pilots and can both heal and resupply while the Skygraspers can only do one or the other.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam original Shuffle Alliance]] appear in this game but only as map sprites with no battle animations. It would have been interesting having a playable guest version of them considering that this is one of the few Super Robot Wars games where Master Asia is not playable in any capacity. A playable Schwarz Bruder was a missed opportunity as he was a guest character in VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance.

* CompleteMonster:
** [[ItsAllAboutMe Gu-Landon Goetz]] is the Representative Knight and the [[BigBad supreme commander]] of the Fury military. Completely rejecting the idea of peaceful coexistence with humanity, Gu-Landon defies the will of the peace-loving Fury princess Shana-Mia Eterna Fura to wage a war of conquest and extermination against humanity, seeking to remove them to turn Earth into the new Fury homeworld; he sees this as the divine right of the Fury as the ones who seeded life on Earth eons ago, with all the death and destruction inflicted by the Fury ultimately coming from his command. During the final battle, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Gu-Landon]] proves that he is no friend even to the Fury when he, realizing he cannot defeat the Earthlings as he is, diverts the main power of the Fury mothership, the Gau-La Furia, into his personal mecha, the Zui-Gadin, to power it up, uncaring that doing so will mean the death of most of his race, who are suspended in stasis aboard the Gau-La. During this process, the Larseilam overload caused by juicing-up the Zui-Gadin dials up Gu-Landon's [[AxCrazy murderous rage]] to the max, turning him into a full-blown OmnicidalManiac ranting and raving that he will destroy all life in the universe.
** [[PsychoForHire Jua-Mu Dalby]] may not be one at the beginning, but he certainly is an extremely nasty individual despite his youthful appearance. While he's extremely loyal to [[NobleDemon Al-Van]], he completely looks down on Earthlings, insulting them at every chance possible with no chance of even considering them a WorthyOpponent, like Fu-Lu Mulu. He is also responsible for partaking in the destruction of Ashalley Kreutzer facility, mentally scarring his "mentor" Calvina Coulange, and unlike Al-Van, Jua-Mu has no regrets and conflict over it, he just enjoys slaughtering humans over the superiority complex he has as a Fury. When Al-Van is demoted and Jua-Mu took an increase in power via injection of massive Larseium, what remains of his sanity goes away, and instead he punts up his AxCrazy {{Jerkass}} behavior to the point he's extremely loud in not just insulting humanity, but also personally carrying out mass slaughter on them.

** Both this game and ''W'' have the [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Behemoth]] re-appearing as a DegradedBoss used by Amalgam in small numbers after the confrontation with Takuma and Seina. Later installments of the Light Novels(and the ''Invisible Victory'' anime) would indeed have Amalgam attacking Mithril with multiple Behemoths.

* TierInducedScrappy: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED The Archangel]] - when obtained, it doesn't have a Distortion Field like the [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Nadesico]], but it manages to pull its weight thanks to its wide variety of Spirit Commands as a result of its six sub-pilots. Unfortunately, as the Archangel loses its sub-pilots thanks to various ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' story events, they end up taking their useful Spirit Commands with them, resulting in the Archangel's viability slowly, but surely, decreasing throughout the game's second half until it's left with a measly ''two'' sub-pilots with a mediocre Spirit Command pool by the game's end.

** If a unit with Shield Defense attacks after moving, their shield does not actually reduce the damage of a counterattack against them. As in, the animation for the skill will trigger but it have zero bearing on the attack formula. This bug is particularly notable in a game where enemies love to spawn on the complete opposite corner of the map, leaving them prone to getting picked off as they slowly move into attack range.

Some fans also like to add [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsJudgment add Calvina Coulange]] into the mix for good measure and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsJudgment Al-Van Lunks]], Al-Van, often joked as the GayOption, since saving him is something that only happens if Touya is the protagonist of ''Judgment'' and players maintain a BalancedHarem with the co-pilots.



* PlayerPunch: Think the same method of keeping [[spoiler:[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Mu La Flaga]]]] alive will work as it did back in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Super Robot Wars Alpha 3]]'' (that is, [[spoiler:keep Mu in the Mobieus Zero even after he can pilot the Strike Gundam)? NOPE! He'll die just as he did in the TV series...]]

* TierInducedScrappy: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED The Archangel.]] When you first obtain it, it doesn't have a Distortion Field like the [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Nadesico,]] but it manages to pull its weight thanks to its wide variety of Spirit Commands as a result of its six sub-pilots. Unfortunately, as the Archangel loses its sub-pilots thanks to various [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]] story events, they end up taking their useful Spirit Commands with them, resulting in the Archangel's viability slowly but surely decreasing throughout the game's second half until it's left with a measly ''two'' sub-pilots with a mediocre Spirit Command pool by the game's end.
* UnexpectedCharacter: ''Anime/TekkamanBlade'', which is an anime focused on PoweredArmor instead of [[HumongousMecha giant mecha]], starting the trend of the "unorthodox series" for the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' franchise.
