Line #32 YMMV/SuperRobotWarsUX


1	* AccidentalInnuendo: From [[spoiler: [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsUX Kali Yuga]]]], of all things. One of her battle quotes is "All will be within my breast."
2	* BrokenBase: Now at its [[BrokenBase/SuperRobotWars own page]].
3	* DemonicSpiders
4	** Any Festum successfully hitting an allied unit drops the pilot's Will and armor value. While these StatusEffects aren't such a big problem, the "demonic" part lies with all Festum units having an ability that grants them greater accuracy and evasion rates against ''non-Fafner units'' (except Manga/{{Heroman}}).
5	** Individually, [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer ELS]] units aren't strong, but they come in large numbers. Alongside dealing normal damage to HP, they also absorb EN, at a minimum of 10% per attack. ''UX'' treats the case that if any unit's EN is rendered to zero by an ELS, it is automatically destroyed.
6	* EpilepticTrees: There are people who believe that [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Miwa]] has been influenced by the [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Outer Gods]] because the game went out of its way to imply that her parents, Michio and Yumiko, had sex in Innsmouth that led to her conception. There are lines Master Therion said in the Visual Novel that are cited as supporting evidence: “''In Hebrew, all consonants have a numerical value. The NumberOfTheBeast is 666, which signifies the [[UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire Emperor Nero]]. Nero of the Anticross, therefore, IS Master Therion.''” and after he [[ChestBurster burst]] out of Nero, “''Domitianus, the [[Literature/BookOfRevelation Beast of Scripture]], is Nero’s form upon returning from Hell. Master Therion, therefore, signifies both Nero and myself.''” To simplify, the child of Master Therion (Nero) is also Master Therion (actual one). Its relevance to Miwa is that Michio is called Master Therion in the army according to a ''Fafner'' [[AllThereInTheManual side material]], pilots a Fafner named [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Mega_Therion Megatherion]], and has been given the code name "Triple Six." Combine that with how Miwa grew into a child who speaks coherent sentences[[note]]Though there's a different canonical explanation related to the Mir and Festums for that[[/note]] in [[YoungerThanTheyLook three months]] instead of two years because ''Heaven and Earth'''s plot was adapted to occur earlier, then compare that to how Master Therion was BornAsAnAdult out of Nero's {{womb\|Horror}}. All those considered lead to FridgeHorror.
7	* GameBreaker: See [[Gamebreaker/SuperRobotWars here]] for details
8	* GeniusBonus
9	** [[spoiler: [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Graham Aker's]] strongest attack involves him leaving a trail of exhaust in the distance that's in the shape of Virgo]].
10	** The FinalBoss, [[spoiler:Kali Yuga, is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_Yuga based on a cycle of Hindu cosmology]], though it refers to the "age of vice", and has nothing to do with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_(Demon) the apocalyptic demon "Kali"]] (as this Kali is a male) nor [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali the Hindu goddess "Kali"]]; instead, Creator/{{Banpresto}} borrowed the image of "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durga Durga]]", one of the possible manifestations of the goddess Kali. Like Durga, Kali Yuga has multiple arms, snakes and a trident as a weapon, just like how Durga is usually portrayed]].
11	* GoodBadBugs: ''UX'' has notably plenty, such as if you bench a character for two scenarios and put them back in and make one kill, their kill count is multiplied by over fifty (the amount decreases over time). On subsequent playthroughs, kill counts are naturally multiplied, making it potentially difficult to keep track of how many kills you need to unlock secret characters.
12	** There's also a few game freezing bugs, such as one attack from [[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden Ryofu Tallgeese]] and any allied unit counterattacking following an enemy attack. Also, by attacking [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Master Therion]] with the [[{{BFS}} Shining Trapezohedron]] during the ''Demonbane'' finale, if he counterattacks with his own Shining Trapezohedron, the game will freeze (this may double as an EasterEgg because it's the result of the bad ending from the VisualNovel). During Scenario 34, if you use the Triple Dog attack after the Linebarrel changes into Amagatsu, the game will crash if you don't skip the battle animations; likewise in Scenario 43, the game will crash if battle animations are not skipped by using the Gim Gene All-Attack after [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Nero]] deploys.
13	** Once the Deus Ex Machina reveals itself, all characters except [[Anime/MazinkaiserSKL Kaidou and Magami]] get a reduction in Will; instead, these two gain +30 Will or are completely unaffected. This occurs if you Wing Cross before Deus Ex Machina deploys.
14	** When you give a character the pilot skill "Foresight" [[note]]Automatically cast the "Alert" Spirit Command each turn[[/note]] and pair them with an ally in a partner unit for the first time, at the start of the next scenario, Foresight will also activate on the other unit, though this only happens once. It can happen on subsequent playthroughs too, including any partner units that have been paired for a while. This particular bug seems to occur randomly.
15	*** Also, despite "Foresight" activating during the player's turn for the pilot who has the skill, it may stop activating at some point in the game.
16	** Soushi's Spirit Points will sometimes become infinite and no matter how much you cast his Spirit Commands during a scenario, he won't lose any.
17	** By restarting a scenario and placing [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Ruri Hadou]] as a Tactician before and setting another character as a Tactician who is a sub-pilot (or even the primary pilot of a multi-pilot unit), their Spirit Points will increase by 20 due to Ruri's Tactician Bonus. However, this effect stops when you cast one Spirit Command, rendering their Spirit Points back to normal.
18	** Following the second playthrough of the game, characters may stop gaining experience points from successfully destroying both enemy units in a partner unit. This also applies to MAP attacks, where you only gain experience equivalent to one enemy being destroyed.
19	** If [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsUX Agnes Berge]] or any pilot forced to deploy for the next scenario is paired with another character that's a lower level, a LevelScaling bug occurs where enemies will scale to the latter.
20	* HilariousInHindsight
21	** Jin Haganeya, the writer for ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'', admitted on his Website/{{Twitter}} feed his first use of that name was naming the Grungust when playing ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4'' as a kid.
22	--->[[https://twitter.com/J_hagane/status/278904466240057346?s=19 Man, I can't even begin to imagine what expression I'd have had if I'd heard about this when I was a kid.]]
23	** Prior to ''UX'', Creator/HikaruMidorikawa was a big proponent of wanting to see ''Demonbane'' in ''Super Robot Wars''. It helps he's the voice actor for Master Therion. Seems like someone at Banpresto listened...
24	** [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] being included, in some form, alongside the [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross franchise]] that inspired her creation.
25	** In the ''Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron'' manga's ending, the final fight against Deus Ex Machina started with [[spoiler: Katou spreading Override-jamming powder all over the battlefield, severely limiting what it could do.]] This meant that Deus' appearance in ''UX'' became the only time we see it fighting at full strength.
26	* MemeticMutation
27	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Shinn Asuka]], the pilot of [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Fafner Mark Destiny]].[[note]]Post-''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' Shinn, who lost Stellar Louissier and Rey Za Burrel by canon, becomes a mentor figure to the ''Fafner'' cast in ''UX'', especially to Kazuki Makabe. Since ''SEED Destiny'' and ''Fafner'' has the same character designer, along with Shinn's SEED ability (which looks awfully akin to the assimilation effect for late-''Fafner'' Kazuki) and his Destiny Gundam, this makes him a perfect Festum buster like the Fafner pilots. It doesn't help that ''all'' events involving his Destiny Gundam (got damaged, receiving the repaired Destiny, and revealing his CombinationAttack with Lunamaria) in ''UX'' happened on Tatsumiyajima.[[/note]]
28	** [[spoiler:[[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Shou(ko) (Ha)zama]], the [[Anime/TheWingsOfRean female Aura Battler]]]].[[note]]If you fulfilled requirements to reacquire Shouko Hazama, after the sequence where she self-destructed to destroy the Festum in Scenario 13, she'll be brought to Byston Well (where the cast of ''UX'' are coming back ''from'') instead, and continue to fight for the people there, even being called a "female Aura Battler" (which is a sign to see if she's rescued or not). The kicker? Her name can be broken into that of the above, in line with that of Shou Zama, the male lead of ''Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine''.[[/note]]
29	* NightmareFuel: In Scenario 15 of America route, "The Invaders", attacking [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Tiberius]] with [[Anime/HeroMan Joey]] leads to this chilling quote:
30	---> '''Tiberius''': Ooh, aren’t you a cute little boy? [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Maybe I’ll take you as my plaything.]]
31	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Among other things, there's the ''Gundam 00'' cast not interacting much with the cast from ''Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden'', especially considering Setsuna's enthusiasm about "being Gundam".
32	** Setsuna has matured since the second season, moreso in the movie, and [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Lockon Stratos]] does {{lampshade}} the fact that "Setsuna can't call himself Gundam again" when they first met.
33	* ThatOneBoss: [[Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron Deus Ex Machina]] is a surprisingly tough boss. It can move twice in one turn, has Level 3 HP Regen, a MAP attack, and an attack that drains your energy and lowers your aim. Most frustratingly, it can dodge even guaranteed hits with Override. To top it all off, the first phase of his fight takes place after an event that causes your entire team to suffer -30 Morale, making your strongest attacks not immediately available.
34	** Don't let the [[HeroicSecondWind full recovery event]] fool you, but [[spoiler:Kali Yuga]] is probably one of the hardest bosses for [=SRW=] handhelds. First off, all of her attacks inflict status effects (one of which will halve your pilot's stats), meaning without someone like [[VideoGame/VirtualOn Fei-Yen HD]] using her Tactician Bonus "Spiritual Fortitude" [[note]]Negate Spirit Point, stat and Will decrease and can still perform any action[[/note]], you're screwed. Second, due to most of your allied units' having a size rating from SS- to M- (with just a few being L-sized), [[spoiler:Kali Yuga]] towers with a size of ''3L'', which means dealing additional damage while receiving less in return. Combined with a list of pilot skills such as a max level "[[CriticalStatusBuff Prevail]]" [[note]]The lower the HP, the greater the increase to accuracy/evasion/critical/armor stats[[/note]], "Guard" [[note]]At 130 Will, -20% to damage received[[/note]] and "Counter" [[note]]Chance of attacking first before the enemy strikes first[[/note]], alongside high armor and stats for everything, even if you fully commit Spirit Commands against her, without a high enough evasion rate, she can attack first via Counter and reduce your attackers' stats by half, rendering their attacks next to useless. The catch of the fight is that you have to fight another boss unit beforehand (which is no cakewalk, either) ''and'' you have to deal 30% damage to [[spoiler:Kali Yuga]] in order to trigger the recovery event. Of course, no [=SRW=] boss is unbeatable, but due to the gameplay structure of ''UX'' (no equippable parts and fewer Spirit Points for sub-pilots), even [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsZ Gaiou]] appears easier.
35	** The potential exists to flip the odds as like ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK'', there's no pilot skill slot limitations, just a matter of how many "Skill Parts" you have. With enough playthroughs, you can turn a single unit into a OneManArmy.
36	* ThatOneLevel: Although scenarios in ''UX'' are generally more forgiving than ''L'', it has quite a crazy amount, especially late-game.
37	** The most well-known, but unexpected example happens on Scenario 23, "[[Anime/MacrossFrontier The False Songstress]]". This is your usual "defend a certain area" scenario (except half of the terrain is water) and it's mostly easy, until [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Ranka Lee]] is captured by a [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Hound Vajra]], adding the objective "reduce the Hound Vajra's HP to 10%". First off, it only has ''slightly'' better stats than other Vajra (it's one of the late-game {{mook}}s), so accidents do happen if one doesn't check its HP first (for example, Jin Haganeya, the writer of ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'', [[https://twitter.com/J_hagane/status/314305807334379520 had personally kicked Ranka to hell via an Atlantis Strike]]). Second, if you accidentally summon [[Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage Tobikage]] to the field, due to its AI patterns, it'll directly go for that Hound Vajira and achieve a OneHitKO. Third, even if you don't summon the Tobikage, [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Brera Stern]], who is supposed to help you as an NPC, will do the same thing to Ranka if you don't act fast enough. This scenario is so frustrating it has created numerous new memes, like "Killing Ranka without mercy", "Victory Condition Thief" for Tobikage[[note]]In addition to its infamy of stealing your credits, experience and conditions to unlock secrets[[/note]], and "Ranka Slayer" for Tobikage and Brera.
38	*** Except Brera can't deal enough damage in one hit, and the Hound Vajra has a defensive barrier. Even if you leave it to Brera, he will lower the Hound Vajra's HP below 10% himself with the pattern he uses. Still, two problems remain: Brera's strongest attack is capable of destroying the Hound Vajra in two hits, and because Brera comes with boss-like stats, the Hound Vajira will also target him (again due to the AI) if he's in range, thus the situation isn't much better. Let's not take into account for chances of landing critical hits...
39	** Scenario 46 "[[Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron The Beautiful Dystopia]]": succeeding to land the Pretender on the designated area is a challenge itself, and after your reinforcements arrive and destroy some of the mass-produced Machinas, [[spoiler:the Deus ex Machina]] arrives and reduces all your allies' Will by 30 (except Kaidou and Magami, where they [[GoodBadBugs either gain +30 Will]], lose 20 or are unaffected). At this point, if you don't act fast enough, your units and battleships will be surrounded and destroyed due to the enemies' Will bonus. [[spoiler:Deus ex Machina]] also moves twice, has the "Over Ride" unit ability [[note]]At 130+ Will, gain the effects of "High Speed Evasion". The activation rate is determined by the pilot's skill stat, with the "Special Evasion" rate reaching 40% at max. Does not cost EN, and all terrain during movement is ignored[[/note]], a MAP weapon and HP/EN regeneration.
40	** Scenario 47 "[[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Heaven and Earth]]": 70% of the map consists of water, which limits your options to air-based units and any units with a decent sea terrain adapability. This makes the red Festum ''much'' harder to deal via DemonicSpiders and, in the case of not having enough units adaptable at sea, a terrain bonus. Oh, and the reliable Kazuki and his Mark Sein? He won't show up until you lower Kurusu's HP enough.
41	** In Scenario 48, the last of the ELS appear. Recall their entry in DemonicSpiders, and this scenario features lots of them, and they come ''without limits''. You think the ELS are your only problem? [[Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage Zerokage]] also pops up with his force, enough to distract you, alongside a few big ELS partner units around the designated area after Setsuna arrives. In the meantime, you have to be cautious that a random ELS may race down to the southern edge of the map, or gangs of ELS may suck up all the EN from one of your battleships, ''while'' you have five turns to send Setsuna to the designated point. Talk about a race against time and a war of attrition.
42	* UnexpectedCharacter:
43	** While some of the cast are commonly wished upon to be included in [=SRW=] (particularly ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'' and ''SKL''), ''UX'' has perhaps the most unexpected cast list to date, with ''SKL'' replacing Kouji instead of [[WolverinePublicity having him altogether]], the ''Gundam 00'' movie making its debut instead of in the anticipated sequel to ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2'', ''Heroman'' and ''BB Senshi Sangokuden'', the latter almost never talked about amongst the fanbase.
44	*** And while ''VideoGame/VirtualON'' has been in the series [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha twice]] [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK already]], '''nobody''' expected it to appear this time in the form of a ''Music/{{Vocaloid}}.''
45	** For a lesser, but very interesting example, ''Linebarrels of Iron'' has already appeared in [=SRW=] before, except this time it's mostly based on the (much more critically acclaimed) manga, something most mecha fans wished for but never expected.
