** Evasion decay would remove the challenge as the player can easily keep attacking with weaker units and then use a stronger unit when the chances are high enough to hit. In the case of the Lancelot (assuming this is the Anime/CodeGeass one), bosses from Real Robot shows usually have lower HP and Armor ratings compared to Super Robot bosses and are easier to take down in comparison. Having low HP would cause the game to be too easy to beat, provided the player has plenty of SP, command auras and appropriate parts. The enemy Tekkamen in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment Judgment]]'' is a good example of a boss with lower than average HP but high evasion. They dodge almost everything but a Strike and Valor spirit command with a [[CombinationAttack Double Burning Fire]] from [[Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}} Great Mazinger and Mazinkaiser]] was enough to easily knock them all out with little difficulty. An infamous example would be ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance A Portable]]'' where almost everything was too difficult to hit.

*** Not to mention that, from the publisher's perspective, the game is already a proven success and ''worth'' the headache and licensing fees. And even then there's a limit - we'll probably never see Manga/GiantRobo in another SRW because the license is so expensive, for instance.

trope renamed to emphasize meaning of boobs as comedy


* There's no right way to ask this: Why does just [[GagBoobs Seolla get mocked for her chest size?]] Aren't there other girls as just as big?

*** Unknown, though Arado did estimate he (and Seolla) are around 14 to 16 years-old; fans ran with it, meaning they're barely out of their teens. Really, the reason why Seolla gets associated with GagBoobs is because there's nothing else to identify her with. Yes, Kusuha's part of the [[MemeticMutation Symmetrical Docking joke]], but she's more ''in''famous for her GargleBlaster than her physique. Likewise, Lamia may have the largest breasts out of the females, but the fandom more associates her with CharacterDevelopment.
*** Well, Lamia's is artifical.

** Maybe because both Chouginga Gurren Lagan and the and the ship used to form it are the size of the ''Moon''. And can fight on that scale without showing any of the slowness anything that huge should have?

** Perhaps Boss HP in this case is akin to luck in those cases; it eventually runs out as your units continue to whale on them.

* What's the correct terminology for the Alien Soldiers in ''Super Robot Wars 3''? Because the only names they have are "Elite" and "Bioroid" which are incredibly vague and imprecise.

\n*** Isn't Lat, like, twelve or thirteen? I always got the impression she was barely into adolescence, while Ryusei was at least sixteen or seventeen. Or at the very least there was enough of an age gap to make it awkward.

** Wait, so, the original poster can't see people like Amuro, Kamille, Judau, Heero, Kira, and Renton working alongside the Black Knights...which completely ignores the fact that every one of those characters (and more not mentioned, like [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer Gainer]] and [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Garrod]]) are part of rebellious groups who oppose a corrupt, but still legitimate authority? Or the fact that, yes, we've had people like Kathejina Loos, the woman so evil that even YoshiyukiTomino himself thought death wasn't a fitting enough punishment, join the heroic forces? ''Really?'' Look, it's pretty easy to see that Lelouch will be a part of the good guys (there's no way BP is going to make a popular character and, oh yeah, '''the main character''' a villain the whole time), and that BP will work their usual FixFic magic to ensure that he doesn't have to get as extreme as he did in the anime. Besides, the entire reason Lelouch went Zero Requiem was because he crossed the DespairEventHorizon, decided his life was meaningless, and used himself as a sacrificial scapegoat to make the world get past its hatred. In the show, he dismisses the idea of using Damocles in such fashion because a mere object couldn't hold peoples' hatred. But this is SRW, where we've got some of the scummiest villains in anime history opposing our heroes. I'd be willing to bet that at the very least, there'll be a RoadCone where you can prevent Lelouch from crossing that line, and he manages to achieve the same result but instead peoples' hatred is focused on [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Ribbons Almarck]] so there's no need to go through with the original Zero Requiem plan.

* How the hell are the writers of the games going to be able to make the plot of ''CodeGeass'' workable for any future SRW games? As you know most of the heroes you play as especially the ones from the 1970s and 80s super robot shows have very black and white mentalities when it comes to what is right and Code Geass is full of BlackAndGrayMorality with Lelouch being a self-proclaimed VillainProtagonist who is constantly JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope and the rest of the cast been not much better or are even worse. So in character, I can see the likes of [[Anime/MazingerZ Kouji]], [[Manga/GetterRobo Ryoma]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]], [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau]], [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Guy]], [[Anime/{{Daitarn 3}} Banjo]], [[Anime/{{Zambot 3}} Kappei]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Kira]], [[Anime/TheBigO Roger Smith]], [[Anime/EurekaSeven Renton]] and if they're in the game, [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna]] taking one look at the entire cast of Code Geass and saying to them all "You're all nothing but a bunch of selfish egotistical bastards and we don't care how well intentioned your aims are. We're not letting you sacrifice any innocent people with your Zero Requiem, Ragnarok Connection or Sword of Damocles!" and then preceded to kick the crap out of Charles, Schneizel, Lelouch and all the people who side with them. And that's not even going into all the {{Heel Face Revolving Door}}s and [[GambitPileup Gambit Pileups]] the series has in it.

** And since SRW is the same series that turned Shinji Ikari into a {{Badass}}, phased out Char's Counterattack for the purpose of keeping him a playable good guy, and many more {{fanservice}} related rewrites, it's not beyond possibility that Code Geass could get the same treatment as Gundam Seed Destiny, namely, having the parts people hated rewrote to be more sensible or at least call out the characters on their Crowning Moments of {{What the Hell Hero}}.
