History Headscratchers / SuperRobotWars

* What exactly is the deal with Banpresto's obsession with Kyousuke? He shows up in a fairly prominent position in every OG game (even {{Endless Frontier}} has an Alteisen expy) even after his original story finished in ''Original Generation 2''. This despite being a rather dull character with a washed-up wannabe Super of a mech. What gives, guys? Give Ibis or Kusuha or someone who still has a story to tell the spotlight for a while!

* Whats with bossess having so much XP? Can't they just have a high evasion chance? Lancelot somehow can withstand countless rocket punches, GN cannons, beam rifles and swords without losing any function? Just how broke have the game become?
** Assuming you mean HP, it's because if they just had low health and high evasion you could just spam the Strike spirit and their high evasion would be entirely pointless, and if they nerfed it so that it wasn't guaranteed, it would become a little too luck-reliant.
* Why Chouginga [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren Lagann]] isn't playable in Saisei Hen? There's Catherial Lazengann,for god sake! It won't be a problem since Catherial Lazengann is a 3L unit. Maybe because A 3L unit is too broken,but why [[Manga/GetterRobo Shin Getter Dragon]] is a 3L battleship?
** Maybe because both Shouginga 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?

*** this is a tad over-exaggerated by the fandom. He reacted very positively to Garnet's cleavage in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG1]]'', and he's sort of managing to figure out that Latooni and Mai are interested in him. Though someone will need to give him a good kick in the pants over it eventually. But its not like OG is suffering from a shortage of couples. Hell, the series almost has an overabundance of them.

*** And it looks like Mai is getting ahead of Latooni. In OG Gaiden, Ryusei invented the Double T-LINK Knuckle, involving him in R-1, and Mai in ART-1. Latooni is ''very distressed'' about this, but goes along with helping it make to fruitition anyway. Some sort of IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy, maybe?

*** Actually, I'm under impression that Ryusei just fear of leave his lover behind. It's clear that he known how he's special to Lat. He even comfort her after Ouka's death and he ask her to program Double T-Link Knuckle's pattern because he want Lat to has part in that move. So he isn't as stupid as we think. During ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG1]]'', his mother said that Ryusei is just like his deceased dad (a gunned-down police officer). Ryusei instantly counter that ''he won't die and left his family behind''. I guess he got HeroicBSOD back then, consider that his dad is most likely his role model. Now, Ryusei himself is mecha pilot, fighting all kind of enemy range from terrorist to Cosmic Horror, I don't think he will consider his life as safe and stable. So he try to stay away from romantic relationship, just to make sure he won't leave someone behind. Fact that both Mai and Lat are also PT pilot doesn't help, it mean the risk of being left behind again.

** Late, but as of ''The Moon Dwellers'', it's canon.

* 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, [[GurrenLagann 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.

** 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 [[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 come when ever GundamWing used for the games, it's almost always the Endless Waltz movie and not the original series?
** As I understand (Having never watched neither ''GundamWing'' nor ''Endless Waltz''), the former's plot is a bit hard to adapt, while the latter can be easily thrown in as a filler series to increase the playable roster. The real question is why they always use nothing but ''Last Impression'' as its theme song.
** Well, as further clarification, GundamWing's plot has been adapted (see ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars64'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'') fairly well, but GundamWing Endless Waltz is as described: A convenient filler series used to pad out a roster due to the fact it adds a decent amount of pilots, has a storyline that can be used to jump start a plot, and it's own plot line does not have to have much impact on an actual game as a whole. As a result, Banpresto uses it as filler because of its easyness to implement. As for the BGM choice, Last Impression is the song the movie is most usually remembered for, hence Banpresto's decision to make it the default leitmotif.

*** If in the next SRW game they use the new Mazinger series that recently aired [[spoiler: It turns out at the end Dr Hell was trying to save Earth from the coming Mikene Empire...]], work that into SRW and that's one possibilty.

** Probably not. Only Kazuma and Mihiro look older (Plus some non-originals, most notably [[MartianSuccessorNadesico Ruri]], but that's aside), everyone else looks the same. So unless there was a good plot reason for them to look different...

* Something abour ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW'' bugs me a bit. The [[MartianSuccessorNadesico Jovian Lizards]] live in Jupiter. They make peace with Earthlings after their show's plot ends. Two chapters later, the [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Z-Master]] is draining Jupiter of THE POWER. Why they don't show up to help? (Except Tsukuro, who is playable) Do they care this little about their planet?

** Weren't they also recovering from you effectively blasting massive holes through their forces? And having to retake Mars from [[GoLion the Galra]]? And having the snot kicked out of them by villains [[Anime/GaoGaiGar literally THE SIZE OF MOONS?]]

*** And yet [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha two]] [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW of]] GaoGaiGar's 3 adaptations (the only one not included being Alpha 2) had you fighting the moons of Jupiter. The real reason is that they want to save it for an inevitable Z3. MY QUESTION is why Ark Gurren Lagann isn't fully playable despite there being a sprite, an Ark, and a Gurren Lagann to use?

** I recall somewhere on the wiki, it's explained that German is to the Japanese what Latin is to the Western world. You see it a lot in magical incantations and stuff (cf. FateStayNight)

* I've been wondering, how come the Elemental Lords' familiars ([[AndZoidberg and Shu with Chika) aren't considered as a co-pilot, and thus extra spirit commands?

*** And yet [[SuperRobotWarsAlpha two]] [[SuperRobotWarsW of]] GaoGaiGar's 3 adaptations (the only one not included being Alpha 2) had you fighting the moons of Jupiter. The real reason is that they want to save it for an inevitable Z3. MY QUESTION is why Ark Gurren Lagann isn't fully playable despite there being a sprite, an Ark, and a Gurren Lagann to use?

[[WMG:Main/SuperRobotWars]]

*** The first Alpha game, IIRC, named Elzam or at least implied the existence of Rai's eccentric older brother. (It also named the Wildschwein as a prototype mech that was no longer in use; it has only appeared as a unit in OG continuity.) Latooni (and Ouka) were mentioned in one of Arad and Seolla's endings in the later Alpha games as the missing Schoolmates they would like to find -- when in ''[[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG1]]'', Lat gave the same treatment to Arad, Seolla, AND Ouka, predating the first two's appearances in the Alphaverse. The OG <--> Alpha continuity refs got pretty crazy by the end, and [=OGs=] hasn't helped, with the shadowed cameo by Cobray and mention in 2.5 of Dr. Toomine and the third DGG unit.

***** this is a tad over-exaggerated by the fandom. He reacted very positively to Garnet's cleavage in ''[[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG1]]'', and he's sort of managing to figure out that Latooni and Mai are interested in him. Though someone will need to give him a good kick in the pants over it eventually. But its not like OG is suffering from a shortage of couples. Hell, the series almost has an overabundance of them.
****** Exactly how overexaggerated is it if he /never/ reacts to Lamia? I mean, yes, he's an idiot, and she's presumably standing next to Angelg, but she is seen outside her hangar, onscreen. Honest question; I'm willing to bet that the alloted perv dialogue was sufficiently taken up by Tasuku and Arado, such that they didn't really need Ryu to still act the part, but I haven't really played ''[[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG1]]'', so I wouldn't know for sure. Maybe he just regresses from constant company with Super Robots. Or maybe I'm overestimating Lamia's attractiveness.. dun think so, given my bf's reaction.

*** Actually, I'm under impression that Ryusei just fear of leave his lover behind. It's clear that he known how he's special to Lat. He even comfort her after Ouka's death and he ask her to program Double T-Link Knuckle's pattern because he want Lat to has part in that move. So he isn't as stupid as we think. During ''[[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG1]]'', his mother said that Ryusei is just like his deceased dad (a gunned-down police officer). Ryusei instantly counter that ''he won't die and left his family behind''. I guess he got HeroicBSOD back then, consider that his dad is most likely his role model. Now, Ryusei himself is mecha pilot, fighting all kind of enemy range from terrorist to Cosmic Horror, I don't think he will consider his life as safe and stable. So he try to stay away from romantic relationship, just to make sure he won't leave someone behind. Fact that both Mai and Lat are also PT pilot doesn't help, it mean the risk of being left behind again.

** Ever since [[SuperRobotWarsDestiny SRWD]] where they made it so Katejina and Chronicle of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'' of all people convincible pilots, I now have a firm belief that ANYBODY could potentially be convinced to join your side.

** Because ''[[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration OG1]]'' isn't as broken as Alpha, so you can't one or two shot bosses anymore. Just be glad they gave him the Rivale instead of putting the Astrangant in a game where it would be threatening.

* Something abour ''SuperRobotWarsW'' bugs me a bit. The [[MartianSuccessorNadesico Jovian Lizards]] live in Jupiter. They make peace with Earthlings after their show's plot ends. Two chapters later, the [[GaoGaiGar Z-Master]] is draining Jupiter of THE POWER. Why they don't show up to help? (Except Tsukuro, who is playable) Do they care this little about their planet?

** Well, as further clarification, GundamWing's plot has been adapted (see SuperRobotWars64 and SuperRobotWarsAlpha) fairly well, but GundamWing Endless Waltz is as described: A convenient filler series used to pad out a roster due to the fact it adds a decent amount of pilots, has a storyline that can be used to jump start a plot, and it's own plot line does not have to have much impact on an actual game as a whole. As a result, Banpresto uses it as filler because of its easyness to implement.
