It's okay, it's a big thread. We're here to help each other.

What's the deal with stage 31, Hiryu/Hagane side? Is it possible to get in that pyramid before defeating Debu, that is, before the suspiciously timed federation order to investigate the inside? I managed to destroy one of the enemy groups guarding the door in time but it didn't seem I was able to get in anyway, but did I need to destroy both?

OGG stream coming up soon. Getting into the late game.

edit: stream over, after one stage it devolved into efforts to emulate Impact and it did not end well

It's nothing new for SRW, but it feels like this game really gets started around stage 35. Also they introduce a whole slew of new background music around that time.

Moon Dwellers did 108K in the 1st week across both platforms (70K for PS4, 38K for PS3).

I wonder how the english release will fare.

I know who I am giving the Shishio blade next. It's with Excellen right now.

It's not like anyone really needs it. Units that are short range only need a rectangle launcher or something so they can be good twin units with a unit that has built-in long range weapons, but not so much the reverse.

Yeah, and in a game series where same as music priority, being cool is basically gameplay.

One of the things I'm looking forward to the most about the English version is finally learning what all those music options in the option menu mean.

it's pretty much 'keep attack theme music playing while you're making your next move, or switch to the map's music'

Isn't the big perk of the Shishiou Blade that it's a high power weapon with no Will requirement?

Well, that's loving annoying.

Be careful about swapping out the Powerpuff GIrls in stages where the J units force-deploy. I ran into a save-ruining glitch where if I did it it would prevent a cutscene from loading and would freeze on a black screen.

Holy crap, you can't even change it back during the intermission?

I was able to but it didn't work. I had to go back to a previous save. (Which thankfully I kept.)

Basically what happened is this:

I was on Stage 21 where both J protagonists deploy. Granteed begins is a lovely position so I restarted and swapped my powerpuffs around to get him Accelerate. I saved and when I tried to restart the stage it would black out even if I swapped the Powerpuffs back.

I had to replay around 4 stages to get back there but once I did I made a backup save and checked. As long as I didn't touch my Powerpuffs I could start the stage fine. When I changed them it blacked out. I don't know if there's anything else that triggers it but be careful on Stage 21 at least.

That's a weird bug indeed. My guess is that the cutscenes for stage 21 were coded with a certain Powerpuff for Touya and Calvina, but they never went back and added in code to allow for swapping the trio around.

MD is fun but the RNG-based SR points are really tedious. I'm on a mission which just devolves into "reset until I get lucky" because it involves NPC characters who can lose half their health literally before your first action.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, you're intended to spam Bonds and other mass target spirits to get by.

It's probably not that one as my major problem is the Huckbeins dying from full health rather than getting whittled down. Them being able to lose a ton of health on pre round 1 is just an additional gently caress you. It'll be pretty trivial to get if I can get them to survive to Round 2, it's just as near as I can tell literally just luck, you don't even have a Confuse user to weight things in your favor.

Edit: Actually sorry, you do have one. Still took me two resets to get them to survive to round 2 but easy from there.

There's a thing you can do to unlock the OHKO +crit item in Dark Prison that I am certain you need to get a crit with Shu's map attack to do so there's definitely someone with a cruel sense of humour working on the OG games.

Does it auto put the right girl in before you start the mission?

I don't know if there's a 'right girl.' It doesn't swap your characters at all though

I must be misunderstanding the problem. Is it that when the J originals are a forced deployment you shouldn't change the girls before the mission? But it doesn't matter which girl is in there already?

Yeah, basically. It seems to be a problem with them loving up the flag to load in a different script for having a different girl, not a thing where one is 'correct' and the others are bugged

That is what it seems to be though obviously there could be something else I'm missing.

Well, SRW is a world with both nanomachines AND magic so basically anything can happen two times over.

Instead of finishing any of the thousand games I've yet to complete (including second OGs), I've started plaing Super Robot Wars F. It's good, if antiquated, so far. L-Gaim theme is super snazzy.

I'm playing with Ring Mao as a Real, because gently caress you Banpresto I like her.
