Hey it's OGS!
I loved OG1/2, It was a lot more comfortable playing with entirely new characters than having to know all Mech anime minutiae from the last 30 years.

And maybe because I played it in my massive weaboo phase. Still a good game(s) though, and I still love the mech designs.

I love the ATX team. It's like they can't decide if they want to be a prototype testing unit or a comedy troupe.

So they do both.

Looking forward to seeing a lot posts about the honcho now too :allears:

Yeah but they all ride high damage output mechs. Dodge Tank is there to look like an weak target and put out that essential scratch damage so the big bots can do clean up sweeps and not waste time and resources on chaff.

I guess that also eliminates Excellen from consideration too, since she also has 10-14 higher dodge than Dodge Tank at all times?

Well yeah but Excellen is usually a unit I dont want to suffer bad RNG with, Dodge tank is expendable but highly useful.

This is making me want to replay the game again.

I can't wait until Latooni can get a real mech and become an unstoppable force of destruction.

She never gets Valor or any spirit that really matters so when it comes to HOT-BLOODED ENGINES OF DESTRUCTION She's the mook clean-up, but still a damned good mook clean upper.


If only she was more like Chirico (In SRW Z that guy is all crits all the time. Doing as much damage as the best supers a size S mech? Yes please).

The great thing about the Cybuster is that it attacks and has defenses like a super, but dodges like a real.
It's absolutely the crutch to lean on (if you want to) in the Ryusei route.

Well on-paper The Cybuster beats out the Alt in all stats but armor, which it matches -~50 points.
In OG1 I never had to worry much about it, since it either dodged or lost about an 1/5 of HP.

Rigged Death Trap

Defense wise theres a ~20 difference. With Kyo having the higher.

Anyways It wont reach Grungust levels of Tanky survival (not much can) but at least it can match the Alt while having the formers damage output.

Also a Map weapon. Which is always a plus.

Too many pilots and it just becomes dumb. Doesnt Dancouga Nova Max God (Buddha Shiva YHWH...)have something like 5 or 6 pilots?


This aint super sentai. Its giant mecha anime.

And I think the OGs thus far dont really lend themselves to a Voltron type dealie. Three is a good max number for OG gattai shenanigans.

Mazinger/Getter/Gundam is the popular conception of the foundation of the genre, but I would argue that Combattler/Voltes are almost as important, and those are both 5-seaters. It'd be out of place in OG1, sure, but the series long ago passed the point of "realistic" and "plausible" and having a bunch of the 2nd/3rd-tier scrub pilots combining into some weird multi-pilot Gespent combination is no weirder than the fact that those pilots are still around.

Realistic and plausible never really were on the table to begin with.

Its just that none of the OG originals have that sort of 5+ man team dynamic good enough for a big old combiner. And the 2nd/3rd tier scrubs arent that interesting to begin with, quantity not amounting to Quality and all that.

Pilot skill-wise, Lucky, in addition to guaranteeing a critical hit, also causes an enemy miss. Which makes it pretty comical for Tasuku to have given that he's piloting one of the least mobile things in the game.

They really should have made misses on Supers just Glancing hits for 0 damage.
Unless the attack is Supreme typed.

iirc there is no type-specific defense/skills to supreme typed attacks.Also it might pierce barriers/have some special defense interaction.

Its reserved for big assed attacks/attacks that dont really fit in a typing like Metal destroyer or the alts special ace in the hole.

Man at this point in the game you don't even have a reason to keep Kyosuke in the Alteisen. Just toss Katina in that thing. It's red, it has a weapon that benefits from assail, it's reasonably tanky for this part of the game, it's great.

The most fun I had with OG was putting everyone in the wrong mechs whenever I could. It's not like it's enough of a hard game that you can't spend a mission having some fun with Kyosuke and Excellen in each others units.

Must terminate all Barrelions with extreme prejudice. Which is why i must have perfect efficiency.

And while it may not be the hardest game of its type some battle masteries on hard are absolute dicks to get.

There's one version of it here. It has a ton of spoilers for attacks and characters that don't happen until OGS2, but it is also 5 minutes of pure super robot carnage with 10 pilots getting in on the action. Alternate tags are "why you should turn animations off toward the end of the game" and "Stop, stop, he's already dead"

Super spoiler attacks go!

This one is suuuuuuper spoilery for every reason ever concievable.

Seriously, Ryusei gets his poo poo wreeeecked in that cutscene. All he manages to do is knock off one of the Alt's arms, and he ends up getting staked and eating a face full of Claymores for his trouble.

I like this point in the game because it means that the Kyosuke route is going to get a lot more...lethal.
