The Delta Plus' heritage is a long and twisted one,



but as you can see it's both a Zeta and a Hyaku Shiki ripoff.

The Delta Plus is actually a Hyaku Shiki ripoff. :eng101: If you compare the Delta to the Hyaku Shiki side-by-side they're basically identical except the Delta is a little fancier and doesn't have the anti-beam bling paint.

Good point. Looking into it I wish they had the balls to just not give Kamille the Zeta but the Gundam Delta Kai instead. Its got fin funnels and fills the same role as the Zeta.

A Zeta Plus model was one of the only Gundam models I ever made, that thing is badass.

edit: has it ever shown up in SRW? Not that I'm requesting another Zeta variant or anything.

That's kind of a weird thought isn't it?
One thing I can't get used to seeing with these new SRW games is the map being very...flat. My brain is too used to the isometric view of Alpha 3. :shobon:

Speaking of Alpha 3, finished the first few missions and man, soooooo many menus to remember.

If they did we wouldn't have the Zeta's awesome new Biosensor animations, so screw that.

It took them like a bajillion games but they finally got the biosensor aura to look right!

I can't get enough of how cool the tag tension system is. I'm actually thinking about how I want to use my tag tension, how I want to generate it, on whom I want to generate it. Do I want to slingshot past these enemies to get to the timed boss with multi-action and gamble that I won't be able to kill it without Maximum Breaks? Do I want to chance not having enough damage and save for double PP?

The game isn't really hard but I've *thought* more about my movements more than any SRW in recent memory so far. I've actually been holding off doing upgrades simply because I'm worried they'll snap this delightful interlude.

In one skit at the D-trader, they explained a bit about Suzune's uniform.

Suzune: What the hell is with that uniform anyway?
AG: Geneon automatically makes a uniform for its pilots based on their inner voice. Hibiki's turned into a badass warrior suit because that's what he was calling for inside. So, what did yours turn into?
Suzune: ...never mind.

I heard that Suzune has something of a split personality (there was a picture with her speaking and her face was very different - with sort of a femme fatale grin).

I'm guessing she called for the outfit because shes starts manifesting when Suzune tags in as the sub-pilot).

I'm pretty sure Zeta is the only suit that can challenge the Zaku 2 for the title of King of Variants. They're all pretty decent, but that's because they're all pretty much just the vanilla Zeta with new paint.

In any SRW game with FMP in it, did the Tuatha de Danaan (FMP ship with a too long name) ever get the capability to fly, or is it always only a submarine?

It only ever showed up on a few select water stages, so you never got the chance to upgrade or equip it or anything.

That's from the DLC mission.

So I've unlocked basically all the D-Trader parts and they are loving ridiculous.

My Guren Seiten currently regenerates all its EN every turn, does 1.2x damage at 130 morale (in addition to Kallen's own 1.1 ace bonus) and gains x2 money, PP and Z-Chips once it hits 150 morale.

I'm glad Banpresto saw how ridiculous the power curve was getting and decided to just make every map an exercise in killing things as smoothly as possible rather than buff the gently caress out of everything.

Man, some of the crossover stuff in this is fantastic, even for shows I dislike.

Jin manifesting his Element power in order to protect Shinji from the 7th Angel is really neat and not at all what I expected.

Someone I know elsewhere got the game before I did and was talking about how restricting and unfair the new SP system was and when I got later in the game I'd see it. I don't know if we just play incredibly different ways or something but it couldn't be further from the truth.

That said it's still 'harder' than Z2 (faint praise as that is) and I imagine if you did no upgrade/no D-Trader runs it would be a legitimate challenge as opposed to Z2 letting you sleepwalk through even by default.

My god this game has some good new portraits.



Also there's a angry new portrait for Emma that I can't help but think came from the "what if Kamille had lost it from the beginning" series (nws as gently caress audio if you work with anyone who speaks Japanese)

If you introduce any new system, no matter how well thought out, somebody somewhere is going to loudly complain about how terrible it is.

There are a billion new portraits. There are multiple portraits just for "Shinji and Asuka lie in the dark and talk."

It's apparently right up there in terms of hilarity, because all of its animations still have splashing water in them. Though it's actually kind of appropriate, because by the time you get it I think you're already into the Gurren Lagann crazy antispiral space ocean

Jamming gives +10% hit/evade to the unit and its partner. In this one, Hyper Jammer is a Deathscythe ability which provides it 30% afterimage at 130 morale or higher.

I still have no idea who his voice actor is. I did a google search and it turned up a name that led no where, so I assume it was a translation mistake.
