I think Tomino just wants all of his Gundam stuff to take place in the same setting so he can reuse a few concepts. Which is fine by me, it's so far in the future that it's basically a new setting anyways.

Looking at the player list from Project Cross Zone, it's a huge shame Megaman never got to be in SRW. (Shut up, Tekkaman Blade got in, Megaman could too). I mean, any of the various Mega Man series coudl easily fit in depending on the game. I'll just add that to my growing list of "Cool Stuff I'd like to see in a game but never will".

Or maybe some kind of Voltron made out of Beat/Rush/Tango. *combo attacks with Koji and Sayaka

I need a 2S size Mega. I'm thinking Mega Man riding Rush like Pegas, throwing Gumdams around with Guts Man's Super Arm. Mid-season upgrade is the Rush Adaptors from 6. Dodgetank the mooks in hover mode, then switch to power mode for the boss.

It'd slot in with pretty much any SRW ever, it was pretty standard fare. Could be some interesting mechanics behind the units, using SP as ammo for high-power everything-piercing attacks is the first thing that comes to mind.

Eternal Volfogg posted:What did everyone think of Captain Earth? It was bad. The plot meanders about and does absolutely nothing interesting at all despite having interesting concepts, it wastes half the series repeating itself constantly, and the greatest crime is that it barely makes use of its incredible mechanical designs in the slightest. There's actually relatively few fights involving the full-sized robots and virtually all of them are over in less time than their stock footage combination sequence. Ultimately the greatest crime was that it was loving boring. SRW could easily salvage it.

Portable Staplefrog posted:I know, which is strange since the art style looks like it would have more appeal there... The thing about MK series is that the gameplay is really dated. When the remake of the first game came out, I think most people sort of tolerated that because it's meant to be a "faithful" remake per se, but then they stretched it out for 4 games... Banpre took something that many people were hyped for (the return of MK to SRW) and basically just squandered it for the most part.

I'm stalled on stage 40-something of MK4 because literally every enemy is identical and has 20,000 hit points right now. It's not difficult, just intensely boring. It was going so well up until now...

I'm still on stage 14 or so, so maybe I'll agree later, but I don't see any major problems with the gameplay that wouldn't also be true of the main series. It doesn't do anything truly unique, but I wasn't really expecting it to. It feels like a SRPG. Should it not? Also, on further searching, Akurasu did have the main thing I was looking for, a table of the upgradeable skills and their translations.

By the way, for those of you thinking of getting a Playstation TV, SRWZ2-1 and 2-2 look really good on the big screen. Basically they look like the PS2 games pre-Z, but widescreen and with better animations.

So is anyone here thinking of getting Super Hero Generation? I'm looking to buy a few more weird Japanese games before the year's out and it looks neat enough, but I've never played one of those Gundam/Ultraman/Kamen Rider cross-over RPGs before so I'm interested in hearing what people have to say about them/SHG.

There's not really a precedent to judge SHG in the franchise, I haven't played any of the previous games but I believe none of them played like it; if you've played a Gundam G Generation game, Super Hero Generation is by the same team with the same type of gameplay.

But I don't think you can use G Generation as a judge either, because I'm pretty sure a bunch of G Gen mechanics aren't going to be in this... unless there's some kind of Ultraman and Kamen Rider evolution system... Incidentally Ingram and Viletta were originally from that franchise. Weird knowing that considering they're usually connected to the SRX team.

Davzz posted:Yes, that's my opinion too. I believe the old SHG games were "regular" RPGs so this is a departure from the norm of that series. Super Hero Operations was where they got connected to the SRX team in the first place, right down to piloting the R-Gun. Since they were the heroes, of course they stayed for the entire time, so probably when Alpha came out the whole thing with Ingram being a traitor was a lot more shocking. Bullet, Kusuha, Ryoto, and Leona were all part of the SRX team back then too. I know Bullet and Kusuha were shopkeepers, but I forget what Leona and Ryoto did. (I vaguely remember one of them saving your game, but don't quote me)

This is only tangentially related but the thread is a little quiet and I figure some of you might be interested. I am running a Kickstarter for a tabletop Mecha RPG called Battle Century G. It is pretty much a love letter to SRW, translating the spirit of the franchise to roleplaying, so if you like playing pretend with giant robots you lose nothing by giving the free version of the manual a skim. e: And I forgot to say, I don't want to derail this thread so if you have any questions or comments we should take it to the TG Kickstarter one.

Holy poo poo, I can't believe it took me until stage 20 to realize you could refund skills back into PP in coffin of the end. Combine this with unspent SP being converted into PP at the end of a map and for the fist time ever I feel completely overwhelmed with resources in a winkysoft game.

Just as a warning, because this confused me for aaaaages when playing it and I figure it's worth telling in case you're blind like me: You actually have a limited number of slots to equip your skills into, and you need to select them after buying them for them to go into said slots. I got to stage 25ish with all my characters having no skills at all. I was always wondering why I could never activate support attacks...
