my dream srw involves all the shows with meaningless judeochristian mytho-technobabble, i will call it super robot wars t but it's important the t never be uppercase because otherwise it won't look like a cross

...there has to be more than just xenogears and eva, like at least four or five eva ripoffs have to fall under that right?

Like recent example was Build Fighters. Super easy explanation: make them control from the battleship as they find *insert thing* that makes their gunpla large and functioning.

That's not the actual problem, though. Build Fighters is fundamentally about how everything is a game and there is no real risk of death. If you throw that out you basically either have to completely change the entire story, do some really silly fourth wall stuff, or make everyone look like complete sociopaths.

BF is just the kind of a show where it has to be central to the setting or it doesn't work at all.

EDIT: Mind you, Super Robot Wars Toy Fighting would be the best.

Also, not sure exactly where I said you have to ignore aspects. Making the Zohar an engine or just kept somewhere within one of the batteships is an easy write-in. I'm talking about "Well, it wouldn't make sense" in regards to Build Fighter.

Anything can make sense, especially with liberal use of dimensionholes.

And they have put in franchises with half-assed story despite being story heavy. Look at all their attempts with Evangelion Rebuild. Or Getter Armageddon just being there in W for no reason other than to be part of a combo attack.

Isn't Getter in W more the Toei Getter team getting Shin Getter instead of G than anything else really(with them using Armageddon's version cause it's the easiest to do a move set for)

If you do SRW Toy Fighting just go full fun the way Build Fighters did. Make the pilots just regular people with toys. Keep a few of their traits and keep the setting super fun. Make it a spin off game and bring Ryusei back because he'd be the best for it.

The SRW crew tends to fight robots and mindless monsters at the 2nd half of the games anyway, so if killing real people is your issue, it's a really easy problem to solve.

You could also put disabling effects on their attack animations/dialogue, pilots run away, etc. I just think it's silly to never put a good material like Build Fighters because it "doesn't fit," when Sgt. Frog is mass murdering with hatsune miku.

That isn't it either. There is literally no death in Build Fighters. If anyone, in any of the shows mixed in at all dies, that should completely change up the show's dynamic unless the writing is so spectacularly bad they just ignore it entirely. Sgt. Frog, as comedic as it is, still involves an army of alien invaders trying to conquer Earth. That can work with more serious concepts really easily. Even Hatsune Miku is there because she was in Virtual On.

I mean if they really want to just put Build Fighters in a regular SRW anyways, drat the consequences, I'm sure they'll do it. But personally if they have to bastardize it to get it to work, I'd rather just not see it at all. v:shobon:v

iirc Fei Yen HD only ever appeared in Project DIVA and as a promotional model so it is still really out of place.

All the extra gundam pilots you can get are saveable because Sei just grabs them and slowly shakes his head before they go fly to their deaths.

Yeah, Miku's Fei Yen HD is only in UX with the most tenuous connection. She really does only have an alternate costume and a one-off figurine as her justification for being in the game.

Build Fighters already ruined the 'no consequences' line by itself starting from Try, where all the best (or most emotional?) pilots hurt themselves whenever they fight.

Yeah but I think we can all agree that we'd rather see Build Fighters in SRW than Try. And even in Try it's just Sekai, and pretty much everyone just glosses over it because of how spectacularly awkward it is.

Although BFT in SRW would be hilarious because Sekai embodies the SRW combat style. :v:

What's amusing about this is Sega skirts the issue of people getting mad by saying it's the sentient original Fei Yen cosplaying as Miku.
This does not help in any way and most VO fans were still mad over it.

Also, according to friends who got the figure, it's pretty bad. It apparently cannot stand on it's own because of the hair and tiny feet.

I wonder if any SRW has had someone die that didn't die in canon.

I remember in D, like, someone asks Kamille what happened to the rest of AEUG and he says they're all dead, but Fa, Char, Haman, Bright and Roux are all still around and that's about every secondary pilot that survived through mid UC. Heck, even Astonaige is still kicking.

So I beat UX just now, despite getting hosed out of getting Lu Bu Tallgeese and the last stage being a nightmare it's a good game! I ended up using the Fafner, SD gundam and Linebarrel units a lot, and was happy to see the Fafner units not being trash like they were in K, especially Kazuki being my top ace.

In A and maybe J Allenby could die if you didn't do her requirements but that's the only one I can think of.

I think Fuunsaiki dies with Master Asia in A if you don't get the secret to recruit him. But the secret is just 'give Domon 30 kills by stage 21' so it's pretty hard to miss it unless you don't use Domon whatsoever.
