Every species can smell its own extinction.

I was just thinking yesterday about how well Mad Max, especially the newest movie, would work into SRW. I mean, if they were robots and not cars. It's got the near religious veneration of machines and everything.

Redline also. From time to time Stages get interrupted by the next step of the race until the race is over and the racers car/mechs join the team for good. Sweet JP's a unit that doesn't deal damage, like Basara.

MX is the kind of game where you can throw a dart board at your cast list and max out any unit it lands on and solo the entire game with it except the last couple of stages with zero to no effort. Until W came out it was the easiest game in the franchise.

The MX TFO is literally invincible against 90% of enemies in the game and nothing can hit it. It owns. If I could I would field an army of 15 TFOs and show those Vegans how it's done.

MX Evangelions also never take damage from anything that isn't an Angel or a late game boss but they can't run all over the map with impunity so eh.

The final fight of the GC/XO guys was maybe the closest fight I have ever had in SRW. Thanks to all those drat map attacks that knock off half everyone's HP, I think the average HP remaining for all my units was under 1000. Hagane finished at like 235 and Lune struck the winning blow at 150 or something.

It was taken from a con (pictures were forbidden).

The only thing that bothers me from these screenshots is the title of the stage. Everything else is as expected.

Ask me about being the best dad ever.

What was the original line? Because I'm betting you :10bux: that it was "そんな。。。あたしだって。。。!"

But, really, literal but readable was what we got with Gundam Breaker 3 and that's about what I expected. It was never going to be an actual localization.

Blame Banpresto for this because they're the ones who've been pushing these romanizations for years now.

At least it's not say, Duwang tier translations.

In all seriousness, this is about what I expected. Still not sold on the font choice, unless that was the best option to fit some of the longer attack/unit/character names in their display slots.

Aren't gwa and kwa archaic and obsolete even in Nihon-shiki transliteration? They made some pretty hilarious mistranslations in the same set I first saw Hagwane in (an artbook, I think) with stuff like Sladgelmir, so...

edit: vvvvvv pretty much that, ultimately, though.

They're old-style romanizations, yes. This is probably on purpose.

I can't see why. For ship names maybe, but the same book used 'Kwai' instead of 'Kai' everywhere (except Kitamura's name, I think) so it mostly just strikes me as an odd choice.

I mean, it's Banpresto's decision. I was just hoping they wouldn't stick with it.

If it were merely dull-but-accurate translating, it would be perfectly tolerable, as much as I'd mourn it not being Atlus. The problem is that "WOE OF THE LAND" does not fill me with faith that it's not simply an extremely amateur job all around.

I don't get this. You can just memorize the menus if you have to. The story is the important part.
