I still think there needs to be a Double Zankantou combination attack with Sanger/Zengar and Al Van.

It's so obvious that it needs to happen. tongue

[up][up][up]That... would actually be amazing. The Jovians basically took Gekiganger 3 and perverted it for their own ends, so for the actual Gekiganger 3 crew to be brought into our reality and see how their efforts were twisted and turned into a vehicle for war and blatant destruction would be fascinating as hell. Better yet, have them be pulled out of their own dimension right after they beat the Big Bad of their own series. Have them believe themselves victorious and that the world will forever be at peace, only to find out that in our world, they themselves have in a sense become the Big Bad. Postmodernism at its' finest.

Anyhoo, I guess I can see where you're coming from, but it's still called Super Robot Wars for a reason. It's not exactly a Super Robot War if there aren't any actual Super Robots, is it? I'm not saying you should add any if you don't want to, but it still doesn't feel right to me to have a Super Robot War without any actual Supers.

[up][up][up]A combination attack for a future Super Robot Wars game? I think that it's still a crying shame that Ryoma, Amuro, and Kouji don't have one yet.

I seem to remember one game had no Real Robots. Lessee... wiki says... SRW NEO on the Wii, unless you count G Gundam as Real. Turnabout's fair play and all that. I will, however, resist the temptation to include Guyver.

Maybe in the second game of this hypothetical subseries I'll include more magic-related "robots" like Rayearth, Dunbine, Gasaraki, and Break/Broken Blade (ok, maybe not that last one; I didn't like it much).

And... yes, that was totally what I was going for with Gekiganger. Not just because it'd be hilarious to see them interact with the cast from their favourite anime. >.>

And this goes back to my own wishlist. Why have Gekiganger without Celestial Being: The Movie?

[up]...That is a puzzlement.tongue

How about this: What if Bamco had Trailblazer, but rather than playing it straight, pulled a Fix Fic like with Seed Destiny and turned it into an actual good story? And then you could have the Celestial Being movie without having to allow in a shitstain of a movie by proxy.

Also, I added Gekiganger into my own list because it's just too good an idea to pass up. Thanks guys, seriously.smile

[up][up][up]I wish that they would at least use S2 or at least S1 over the 00 movie. Or at least use the Suits but not the plot itself. But what they really need to fix is the Eva story, because only sticking to rebuild really isn't working better than just using the original series and End.

In celebration of April Fools, I've decided to make a mock Super Robot Wars game for the holiday that I like to call Super Robot Wars Prankster.

Series included in Prankster are:

The Original Generation consists of the good guys being Anthropomorphic Rabbits that pilot Easter themed mecha and the bad guys being giant robot pirates with their leader being named "Captain Eastereggbeard".

[up][up]Well, if I may quote myself from the Gundam thread here...

But the biggest offender is Trailblazer, because to put it simply, it is a mess. A boring, uninteresting, two hour mess. Barely anyone gets any real development, those that do (like Nina) aren't developed convincingly, the 'plot' is practically thread-bare, and it ends by taking its' message of peace and 'understanding' to its illogical conclusion. According to Trailblazer, the only way to promote and uphold peace is through pacifism and understanding, and if you understand enough, you'll cause a race of metallic alien beings (which I surprisingly don't have a problem with by the way,) to turn into a giant yellow flower and spare the Earth from complete and total annihilation.

Again, if this were something like Macross, I wouldn't be so against it, but this isn't Macross. This is Gundam, a franchise which built its foundation on war being necessary to end conflict. What works in one show isn't necessarily going to work in another, and it certainly doesn't work in Gundam. It ultimately just comes across as stupid and naive, much like Marina herself. But the final quote was what really did it for me:

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be kept by understanding."

And not to mention, all of that still goes against the whole first season, which was about using force to bring about peace in the first place. And now you're saying they shouldn't have even so much as lifted a finger in to begin with. (Okay, maybe they shouldn't have, but then we wouldn't have have a show.)

00 is a show with a very good first season, a very decent second season, and a clunker of a movie. It may not be the best Gundam show, but it's still a good one, and left a lot more of an impact on me than Seed did. That said, it ain't a good movie, and said movie should be avoided like the plague. But the show itself is, or at least the first season anyway, still a hell of a watch.

Also, an earlier excerpt from the same post, which is kind of relevant here:

By this point, Gundam already had plenty to say on the subject of 'understanding.' According to UC, while understanding one another could lead to promoting peace and preventing warfare, it could also just as equally not lead to anything at all, or even make things worse then they already were. 'Hey, I hate your guts!' 'I hate your guts too!' 'You know, maybe if we just understood each other, we wouldn't hate each others' guts so much. Let's give it a try!' Okee-dokey!' Hey, I understand you now! And now I just hate you all the more!' 'Same here! I'magonna shoot you now m'kay?' It isn't a cure-all that solves all the world's ills.

Like I said, 00's a mess. A boring, uninteresting, even somewhat rage-inducing mess. It's not the worst thing ever by any means, but it's still a turd.

Also, they killed off Graham. Rather pointlessly at that. Which just about sums up the whole damn movie.

On another subject, I REALLY REALLY want to find a way to work Attack On Titan into an SRW game. What shows do you think would help facilitate that? All I can think of is Escaflowne...

I think it could have some funny synergy with Jushin Liger, because Liger is an entirely organic mech and pretty much the world's fanciest Titan.

Man, that mobile game has a weird fucking roster, huh? Was anybody expecting Daizyujin from Zyranger to be playable?

Harukaiser, Kantam Robo, the Sakura Wars and Godzilla characters seemed pretty out-of-the-box, but they finally added a Sentai megazord to SRW! Like, I honestly thought that if they were gonna put one in there, it'd be like the Battle Fever Robo or maybe even Kyuren-Oh, but it feels like they chose Daizyujin on purpose... also, I want that Daizyujin figure.

It probably has something to do with the fact that it's well known internationally. Still, I certainly wasn't expecting Super Sentai to make an appearance. The Rangers/Sentai members usually have a part of the action before they bust out the giant robots.

I do lots of stuff. The real question is am I any good at that stuff.

[up]Well, Giant Robo only had one third of the show actually feature the titular Giant Robo, instead focusing more on Super Powered on-foot fighting, and it still managed to make it in back in the day . If it's got a giant robot, it's fair game, regardless of how much it's actually used.
