History YMMV / SuperRobotWarsDestiny

** One that is an ''actual'' bug, though, is that the game applies Bonus Points to character data regardless of if they are friend or foe at the moment. So, if you level up and modify [[MobileSuitVictoryGundam Chronicle]], [[{{Megazone23}} B.D]], [[GodMars Marg and Rose]][[hottip:*:Rose only gets BP if you convince her properly; otherwise she becomes the fifth Cosmo Crusher pilot and won't gain any to begin with]], or [[{{Macross7}} Gabil]] at all, they'll have those modifications to their stats when you fight them on your next playthrough. The kicker is that the game gives different character portraits different stats, so this means ''Brainwashed'' Marg (enemy only) doesn't get the Bonuses, but [[MobileSuitVictoryGundam Katejina]] and Glacius (their portraits only change when they join) aren't affected.

* ThatOneLevel: Scenario 23, where you have to fight several Adrasteas charging a city area and make sure they don't blow up, as per the ''MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' storyline. What makes it worse is that the "Mercy" Spirit Command [[hottip:*:If the pilot's next attack would normally destroy the enemy it hits, so long as the user's skill stat (in ''Destiny'', it's pilot level) is higher than the enemy's, that enemy's HP is reduced to 10]] does not appear in ''Destiny'' AND unit weapon upgrades are linked (i.e. you can't upgrade them individually), so you're forced to ''carefully'' calculate the amount of damage you do to the Adreasteas so you don't get a game over. On the other hand, the Adrasteas will automatically defend any attack that would normally kill them, making it much easier to cripple them without destroying them. You also need to only bring the three with named pilots down to 20% health. [[GoldenSnitch As soon as you do, the entire group retreats regardless of any other factors to take into consideration]]. Depending on the line-up you're using, this scenario is either this or a BreatherLevel.

* NeverLiveItDown: WordOfGod has expressed the notion to remake this game to fix the perceived problems with it, especially since the orginal characters and the majority of the series represented in it have recently [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerations reappeared]] [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ elsewhere]].

** Aside from the problems with the GameBreakingBug, the [[{{Macross7}} Protodeviln's powers]] cause all attacks not coming from Fire Bomber members to only do half damage. Adding to that, Fire Bomber members burn through Song Energy very quickly, but there's no way to recover that aside from the standard 5 EN per turn (this is fixed in ''[[SuperRobotWarsAlpha Super Robot Wars Alpha 3]]'', but with a different mechanic).

* GameBreaker: You'll be launching the (Proto) Garland every scenario you can once you realize just ''how'' easily it takes advantage of the GameBreakingBug in ''Destiny''. Bonus point in the Garland being cheaper to upgrade, in comparison to other units.
** [[{{Macross 7}} The Fire Bomber team]], especially after you acquire Mylene's Valkyrie. Basically, use Mylene's "Planet Dance Sigma" (raises an ally's accuracy/evasion stats) and Basara's "Try Again" (increase all of an ally's stats) songs. The former costs little Song Energy to use, while the latter can be usable at the start by casting Basara's "Spirit/Yell" Spirit Command [[hottip:*:+10 to pilot Will]]. Thanks to how spammable these two songs are, you can turn a single ally unit into a OneManArmy that dodges everything and hits anything during counterattacks, assuming you spent time to buff your unit during each scenario.

* CompleteMonster: Emperor Zuul, who is even worse here since he's retroactively responsible for the events of [[MiraiRoboDaltanious two]] [[UFORoboGrendizer different]] series alongside his own.

** Instead of its theme, TheBigO uses "Sure Promise", a just-as-awesome background track to battle scenes ("Big O!" does kick in, but only when using the "Sudden Impact" attack).

** One that is an ''actual'' bug, though, is that the game applies Bonus Points to character data regardless of if they are friend or foe at the moment. So, if you level up and modify [[MobileSuitVictoryGundam Chronicle]], [[{{Megazone23}} B.D]], [[GodMars Marg and Rose]][[hottip:*:Rose only gets BP if you convince her properly; otherwise she becomes the fifth Cosmo Crusher pilot and won't gain any to begin with]], or [[{{Macross7}} Gabil]] at all, they'll have those modifications to their stats when you fight them on your next playthrough. The kicker is that the game apparently attaches data to character images, so ''Brainwashed'' Marg doesn't get the Bonuses - [[MobileSuitVictoryGundam Katejina]] and Glacius are similarly unaffected.

** What makes this a YMMV is some players argue there is no bug present in the game: Units in ''Destiny'' simply have defensive stats on par with the Classic Timeline games, while weapon attack power is on the high end of the scale, comparable to the ''Original Generation'' titles. Since ''Destiny'' units lack the high armor rating to balance it out, overall damage is rendered higher. Accuracy and evasion rates for real-types are similarly high, as most real robot pilots have the "Focus" Spirit Command to give themselves a boost. At the same time, its rare to see super robot pilots in ''Destiny'' to get the "Guard" Spirit Command to raise their defense.

* NeverLiveItDown: WordOfGod has expressed the notion to remake this game to fix the perceived problems with it, especially since the orginal characters and the majority of the series represented in it have recently [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerations reapppeared]] [[SuperRobotWarsZ elsewhere]].
** [[GundamWing Heero Yuy]] has the special Spirit Command "Self-Destruct" that's ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, most likely a Continuitynod to the two times he attempted to do this in his home series.
** Actually, all five ''GundamWing'' pilots carry this Spirit Command at their disposal. [[spoiler:So does Kinryu from ''{{Macross 7}}'']].

*** On the flip side, ''Destiny'' has the "reduce EN cost by X percent" optional parts, which work on the Sound Force. Judicious use of Armor Breakers and Support Attacks will negate the Protodeviln effects.
** Unlike most [=SRWs=], if an attack is strong enough that it'll become a deathblow to an enemy, they are likely to defend it rather than take it head-on. Couple this with the fact that some bosses retreat at certain levels of health, and the ridiculously annoying Ruina, it's almost as if the ''Destiny'' AI is DangerouslyGenreSavvy enough to know about the GameBreakingBug.
* ThatOneLevel: Scenario 23, where you have to fight several Adrasteas charging a city area and make sure they don't blow up, as per the ''MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' storyline. What makes it worse is that the "Mercy" Spirit Command [[hottip:*:If the pilot's next attack would normally destroy the enemy it hits, so long as the user's skill stat (in ''Destiny'', it's pilot level) is higher than the enemy's, that enemy's HP is reduced to 10]] does not appear in ''Destiny'' AND unit weapon upgrades are linked (i.e. you can't upgrade them individually), so you're forced to ''carefully'' calculate the amount of damage you do to the Adreasteas so you don't get a game over.

** "Heats" from GetterRoboArmageddon is a fan favourite.

** What makes this a YMMV is some players argue there is no bug present in the game: ''Destiny'' simply has defensive stats on par with the Classic Timeline games, while weapon attack power is on the high-end levels comparable to the ''Original Generation'' titles. Since ''Destiny'' lacks the high armor rating, to balance it out, overall damage is rendered higher. Accuracy is similarly high, as most real robot pilots have the "Focus" Spirit Command to make up the difference. At the same time, its rare to see super robot pilots in ''Destiny'' to get the "Guard" Spirit Command.
** Hence, this is why the under-3-meter tall Garland is less a FragileSpeedster and more a GlassCannon. A stiff breeze will probably kill it, but it can kill the stiff breeze - or get it to retreat - ''handily''.

* NeverLiveItDown

* {{Godmars}}'s opening and ending themes qualify as well.

** Also features the one and only time that "Heats" from ''Getter Robo Armageddon'' has gotten remixed for [=SRW=]. C'mon, Banpresto: ''Armageddon'' and "Heats" NeedsMoreLove!
** Wait for ''[[SuperRobotWarsZ Second Super Robot Wars Z]]'': we're getting them there, as well as {{Godmars}}, whose opening and ending themes qualify as well.

* CompleteMonster: Emperor Zuul, who is even worse here since he's retroactively responsible for the events of [[MiraiRoboDaltanious two]] [[UFORoboGrendizer different]] series.

** The FinalBoss theme, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAKnqM12qoA King of Ruin]]", definitely fits into this category, providing a fantastic concluding battle theme.

** Instead of its theme, Big O uses "Sure Promise", a just-as-awesome background track to battle scenes ("Big O!" does kick in, but only when using the "Sudden Impact" attack).
** Also features the one and only time that Heats from ''Getter Robo Armageddon'' has gotten remixed for SRW. C'mon, Banpresto: ''Armageddon'' and Heats NeedsMoreLove!

* GameBreaker (You'll be launching the (Proto) Garland every scenario you can once you realize just ''how'' easily it takes advantage of the Game breakig bug in this game.). Bonus point in that they are cheaper to upgrade, in comparison to most other units.
** The Fire Bomber team, ScrappyMechanic asside, is REALLY broken especialy after you acquire Mylene's Valkyrie. Basicaly, you can use Mylene's Planet Dance Sigma(raises Evasion and Hit Rate), and Basara's Try Again(Increase all stats). The former cost little song energy to use, and the latter is usable at the start of a scenario with Basara's Spirit Seishin. Thanks to how spammable those two move are, you can basicaly turns one unit into a OneManArmy that dodges everything, and deals massive damage during counterattack, assuming you spent time to buff your unit during each scenario.

** [[GundamWing Heero]] has a spirit command that causes the unit he's in to blow up most likely a nod to the 2 times heero tried to kill himself in his home series particularly his self destructing Wing Gundam.
** It's not just Heero that has the "Self-Destruct" spirit command. All of the five Gundam pilots from Wing have this command at their disposal. Also, [[spoiler:so does Kinryu from {{Macross 7}}.]]

** Aside from the problems with the GameBreakingBug, the Protodeviln's powers cause all attacks not coming from [[{{Macross7}} Fire Bomber]] members to only do half damage

** If your attack is too strong including if its going to be a Deathblow, the opponent will defend, unlike every other SuperRobotWars games. Couple this with the fact that some bosses retreat at certaion level of health, and the ridiculously annoying Ruina. Its almost as if they are DangerouslyGenreSavvy enough to know about the GameBreakingBug.

* FridgeLogic ([[{{Godmars}} Gaia]] has a repair cost. That's all fine and dandy, but this the ''same'' Gaia which, if destroyed, wipes out Earth, the space colonies and, at the very least, the moon - and results in a "Game Over", forcing you to restart the level). Though even if the Gaia hits 0 health, it won't explode. It'll simply become Godmars. [[EarthShatteringKaboom Though if that explodes]]...
