History Characters / SuperRobotWarsClassic

* VocalEvolution: In the UsefulNotes/PlayStation-only "[[CompilationRerelease Complete Box]]" release, Wendolo's voice is very high-pitched and sounds a little annoying, almost like a little child. In ''Original Generations'', Wendolo sounds more mellow, calculating and considerably sinister, to the point of {{Magnificent Bastard}}ry. This is likely due to the change in voice actor.

* {{Otaku}}: A subtle version, but comments from Lune in the Classic Timeline reveals Bian's a {{Mecha}} geek who built the Valsion based on shows he used to watch. In ''Original Generation'', he makes the password for unlocking secret data in the Valsione a CatchPhrase from one of those shows.

-->'''Kazuya, in the second ''Super Robot Wars Alpha'' game: ''Shut up! Does the title of Director have anything to do with it? You're the worst bastard in the universe!!"''

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: ''MX'' is set after the events of ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'', and Kazuya is ready to settle down with Erika...and then the Martians from ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadeisco'' abduct her, and he has to save her again.

* AngentPeacock: He has angel wings, a skirt, long eyelashes and long, blonde hair. He also has the blood of several Earthlings and Baam-seijin on his hands.

* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: [[spoiler: Poor Erika is subjected to this by [[Anime/VoltesV Zambajil]] in the third ''Alpha'' game. Not that Zambajil loves her, but because she's the Princess of the Baams, he wants to use her to legitimize his rule.]]

* TheDarkChick: Fits the criteria, given the FiveManBand status of the Inspectors

* ChristmasCake: That "old hag" Aguija; may double as a RunningGag against her throughout ''Original Generation 2''.

''Super Robot Wars 4'' introduces a mechanic to the series wherein the protagonist is [[FeaturelessProtagonist highly]] [[CharacterCustomization customizable]]. While players cannot change every facet of them visually, they can select between eight pre-fabricated portrait sets, four per gender, and assign a personality to them that influences what they say and how they interact with others in the game (these being summarized as "[[HotBlooded hot blooded]]", "cool & nihilistic", "[[HandsomeLech intellectual flirt]]" and "slightly oddball". Each appearance also has a "default" character profile attached to it, if players don't want to fiddle with a bunch of options and simply want to jump straight into the game. Irm and Ring are taken from these profiles and expanded into full characters for ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration''.

-->'''Irm''': Miss, um... This is a silly question, but have we met somewhere before ?

-->'''Irm''': Hmm. I make it a rule not to forget a pretty face. Can I have a name, sweetie ?

* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Literally with Ring, even with matching hair colors to boot
* ThePowerOfLove: Played with

** However, the hidden "[[RelationshipValues love bonus]]" game-play mechanic places the two at a much higher tier, more-so than other couples.

* SeriesMascot: The fact he's one of two originals from ''4'' carried over into another game and being the more accessible of the two via game-play strongly suggests Irm's meant to be taken as the "canon" protagonist of ''4''.

Worth noting is ''only'' Irm and Ring have been adapted to date: unlike the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'' originals, where all eight of them are fleshed out for ''Original Generation'', the other six profiles in ''4'' have never been seen outside of ''4'' and its related products, which explains why the other entries are so comparatively barren.

* EpicFlail: WeaponOfChoice for Sikalog's Drukin

* {{BFS}}: The Valsion wields a sword that is almost as long as it is tall. Considering the Valsion stands at 55 metres (for comparison, a standard [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Mobile Suit]] is roughly 15-17 meters tall), the sword might as well be [[UpToEleven longer than most of its targets]].

* LightningBruiser: The Valsion is a towering, imposing machine worthy of any FinalBoss.[[labelnote:Comparison]]A standard Mobile Suit from Franchise/{{Gundam}} stands at 15-17 meters on average; the Valsion stands at ''55 meters'', making it at least three times at large.[[/labelnote]] It is also capable of moving faster than anything at that size deserves to, that one of its attacks is simply rushing the enemy down with its sword, which is a {{BFS}} [[UpToEleven for its size]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Probably the only person who can make a mullet look badass.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: ''[[RealMenWearPink Pink]]'' hair at that!

%%* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the meta-textual sense - during the late [=90s=], when ''4'' and ''F'' were most prominent in the media and zeitgeist, Jayce was the most notable of the eight originals by a longshot. He was easily more popular than Irm thanks to the famous FountainOfMemes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISQIKZTr5d4 attack]] that is his SignatureMove and essentially the game's poster boy and designated protagonist in secondary materials... but in nearly twenty years of ''Original Generation'' games, he hasn't been so much as mentioned once.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In some unofficial translations, she's known as '''Ling''' Mao. Some merchandise and secondary materials from Japan in the [=90s=] also spell her name as '''Lynn''' Mao. All of these are relatively valid transliterations of リン, especially in the context of the character being somewhat Chinese-adjacent in ancestry; it's really more a matter of what a reader thinks a more likely anglicization of her name would be.
