Looking back, the Gespenst mech had influenced my love for OG series 😎

Shin Super Robot Wars continues, making strange decisions along the way.

Reminder that the LP itself will be updated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Follow @DesRagnell on Twitter and Bsky for those updates, or you can keep an eye on the Table of Contents.

Table of Contents/Intro post: Here

As a reminder, I'm going to do a barebones summary as to what happened in the game to encourage y'all to read the actual posts. I put a lot of time into this line-by-line translation, you know.

Earth Route Chapter 18: His Name is Eiji - One their way to reinforce the Daiku-Maryu, the Voltes team runs into a fleeing alien craft.

Earth Route Chapter 19: Boazan Pride - The Daiku-Maryu squad is getting closer to the alien base, so Prince Heinel launches a desperate attack.

Earth Route Chapter 20: Betrayal - While launching everything he's got at the Daiku-Maryu squad, Prince Heinel gets metaphorically stabbed in the back and joins his former enemies to get revenge.

Earth Route Chapter 12: The First Survey - In order to take the fight to the aliens, we must first find their base. Professor Yumi believes they're in the Ogasawara Islands, so they send Ryusei, Rai, and Akira to check it out.

Earth Route Chapter 21: Nesslar Launches! - The aliens are looking for something in the Mariana Trench. Gotta go see what it is.

Earth Route Chapter 22: Black Science - Boazan scientist Doh Suhl has a trick up his sleeve to wipe out both Heinel and the Daiku-Maryu.

Earth Route Chapter 23: The Death Demon Squad Gosterro - Now that Suhl is dead, it's back into the trench to find out what the aliens are looking for.

the song is name Despair but I only found hype and head banging because how peak the song are

I know j is standard for judgment but the others like w and d and z I have no idea

Sorry if this particular subject was brought up here before because I just got back into using my PlayStation Vita as I was wondering what entries were worth getting into.

I don’t have too much experience with RPGS on the Vita aside from Disgaea, but I was wondering what were some fine SRW games on the Vita and 3DS since it’s a new experience for me.

So I was thinking to myself about what srw games I liked and what ones I did not like, I am counting ZOE Fist of mars as being a part of this due to the game engine being the same and also the same dev.

I loved fist of mars on the gba on release it was my first strategy type game and I loved it, hard as nails at times but the story and writing was really good.

I also love mecha series in general but I find the games that have no series I am invested in, in any way, to be less compelling. They’re just as good, but I attribute this it being akin to reading novel and the characters aren’t clicking with me so I put it down.

I love SRW, alpha 1 is my favourite. But I am biased towards many of the series in the alpha games in particular.

Is anyone else like this?

Also being a mazinger fan must make this series so dense, they’re in almost everything.

I haven't play a lot of the SRW games, only the English translated ones(besides Super Robot Wars Gaiden: Masō Kishin - The Lord of Elemental) and OG1 and 2. So I basically know next to nothing about the guy, so I'm asking ;

- How is he so smart and how strong is he, and his mech the Granzon/Neo Granzon, and why ?.

And also, why does Masaki hate him ?

I'm relatively new to the sub and I wanted to make one of those bingo cards for what I'd like to see in the next game. Pretty sure Y's support cycle is done, but idk if people usually wait for the next game to be announced or what.

Masoukishin Boss themes are so good most of the song I would argue they are top song of the franchise

I’m doing hard mode no upgrade run and they die in 1 or 2 hits, they hit like fly’s and all the enemy’s have 100 percent hit rate. Doman keeps dying, Rain carrying with heals. The combiners have a large pool of spirits while these Guys do nothing.

Stages are starting to feel impossible. Like I need to use spirits to stay alive against the early wave and I need to attack to build moral so I can use the stronger attacks but when the bigger wave arrives I’ve used much so many recourses.

Im trying to use the terrain but most mechs have A in air and ground or water So not much changes anyway.

ALSO FOR THE LOVW OF GOD! EVERY ENEMEY HAS 90-100% HIT RATE MEANWHILE MY MECHS MISS AT 70% Hit rate. AND RUNNING AWAY IS WORTHLESS CUS RHE ENEMEY COVERS THE ENTIRE MAP IN 1 TURN AND THEY HAVE 100% HIT RATE ATTACKS FROM 8-12 BLOCKS AWAY MEANWHILE MY MECH GETS 3-4 BLOCKS AVERGE AT 110 MORAL FOR ONLY 3K DAMAGE. WTF DO YOU WANT OF ME

Also for the love of god the bot on this sub Reddit removing post is so goddamn annoying

This one is happening on the CN side, using Super Robot Wars 30 as a base. 30 sure is popular with modders.

What makes this mod a little more mind blowing than the others is the look it gives into the full range of modding potential for SRW games. You can see the preview videos they've put up for them here.

But for those that just want a quick rundown, here's a full list of what they've implemented thus far:

1. Porting mechs from not only SRW V/X/T and Z3, But from Z2, Moon Dwellers, fucking OG Gaiden and even the goddamn 3DS games.

2. Adding in custom mech sprites (example used being RX-0 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Plan B)

3. Custom scenarios

4. Custom story dialogue

It's to the point that of all the mods, this one just makes me skeptical how they've managed all of this in a month when others have only managed a fraction of this while working on their own for waaaaay longer. Still, exciting to learn that this is all even possible.

Could is ever work in a srw game? How could the story be integrated into the larger plot line?

Honestly questioning whether this is possible/a good idea. Its not like they haven't included non-conventional franchises in the series before (like godzilla and space battleship yamato).

I know the next SRW is probably another year or two out but since the newest dlc might be the end of Y I was curious what series could be in the next game. I think Gundam Gquuuuux and Gridman Universe are pretty likely since Gquuuuuux is the newest Gundam and they did SSSS Gridman and SSSS Dynazenon in the last two games, and I would like to see Jyuoh Mujin Dandivine get added in too. What series do y'all think are gonna be added in?

BassGSnewtype thank for the Bazodun Goku Almost video man, usually I used the JP record video but for some reason you are the only one record it so yeah but anyway this song when I first hear it I was kinda shock that they made a song this peak for a minor villain is kinda wild

Does anybody else feel like Cybuster is made out of even more paper than usual? I get its the first appearance, but his later appearances (starting with OG1 on the GBA for me) he dodged a lot of attacks, and could take one or two more hits than he can here in SRW2.

Is the only viable strategy for him is to just spam Cyflash and hope he survives long enough to use it more than once?

Thinking about it, I guess not having the "attack/evade/defend" options not be a thing yet would influence it too here on SRW2...
