Dang, why did nobody tell me about this thread when it started? So, after two weeks of cram-reading, I'm caught up, and I have a couple of silly mechanics questions. First, it was mentioned that when a support attacker kills an enemy, they get credit for the kill. Do they also get a share of the XP, or is that going to have to wait another 10 years to happen? Secondly, if you put a pilot who gets extra money/XP/PP on a sub-order, does the bonus activate? This LP is fantastic, I like this style of summarizing the dialogue over Nidengard's line-by-line recaps, and I think that sometime this or next year I'll get myself a PSP so I can play the game myself.

I forgot how drat ridiculous Nadleeh looks. Did Tiera really think it was important that his Gundam have streamers, and did he also opt for a banana seat?

Could we see what Zuul says to Crowe? And my favorite thing about the Godmars' animation is how they literally change Takeru's haircut for every cut-in.

AradoBalanga posted:There's that, but both opening cinematics for the Z2 games feature Godmars moving with fluidity for the few shots its in them. So...why do that for the opening cinematics and not for the in-game action? Ever since MX's cinematic promised us team attacks between Raiden and (sigh) Raxephon and Daimos/Vikungfu/Dendoh and the game completely failed to deliver, I've never expected the cinematics to accurately reflect the game.

You shoulda had Duo take out at least once Cancer, since for some reason Deathscythe is supposed to be pretty great underwater. Also, Haro-as-copilot basically makes them into R2-D2s.

If Gaioh is the King of Destruction, does that mean that he's Guy Sishioh, come to enact the plot of the cancelled GGGF/Betterman sequel that everybody hated? Also, I'm voting firmly for Area 11 for More Chirico. (And to be contrary :p)

S.D. posted:Has Orguss appeared in any Super Robot Wars games before Z? I just have this mental image of the scenario writer (or writers) cackling gleefully that they no longer have to justify explaining why there are all these giant robots are on earth - "a bomb did it". The way the Orguss Combo's pilot cut-ins looked in Z, you'd certainly think they'd been taken from a PS1-era game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FriP45nmtmU&t=296s (Video might be a spoiler for later in the game or the next game, though I think the cut-in was changed)

Zambot 3, hell yes! I've loved that robot ever since SRW4, and I've kept it on my Must Deploy list in every game I've played that it showed up in. I should figure out where I put the fansub of the series so I can finish watching it.

Oh my lord, this update!  Wasn't KG's Overskill Attack created for Z Special Disc, or am I completely off base? Also, I like that they completely changed the Black Hole dynamic kill animation to actually show Brunhilde as opposed to Z1's version, where you could sort of almost see her if you were paying real good attention.

Speaking of BGMs, why isn't Satellite Cannon playing when it's used? That was the most interesting part of using the satcannon for me. I've always gotten the impression that the SRW crew doesn't like X, hence why they don't do very well with it.

They should put in "Because You're Waiting" Also, I'm glad they've kept Camille's turn-around cut-in from Z1, it's just about my favorite cut-in in SRW history.

Honestly, if all you're doing is translating the dialogue, I'd get bored of it quickly. At that point it'd be less of a "Let's Play" than a plot rundown.

Oh boy, Gravion. The one thing I liked about Gravion in Z1 (The JAM Project theme) is apparently absent from Z2, so I guess that's a write-off for me. I kinda liked the Gran Trooper as a squad-filler, though.

Wow, I don't remember the Giant Rose Hand Punch at all, but that might just be because I didn't bother with Aquarion most of the time. Can you still switch the pilots around and get Flaming Soccer Kick?

I kind of prefer the way they did Mao here, just because it's much more straight forward. Unfortunately, we don't get his ridiculously sarcastic applause, which is my favorite part of Mao's character.

I'm amused that they reused Dancougar's 4-pilot cutin from Alpha 3, and apparently didn't bother to increase the resolution when they did so.

Yay, Baldios! It's interesting that Baldios and Ideon ran at the same time and both have absurdly tragic endings. The whole time I played Z1 I thought "Palsaber" was a typo of "Balsaber," and that the spinning-blade attack was a typo of "Balsaber Drinking."

Google Translate calls it "Ringing de," so maybe it's Pulsaber D'Ringing, because it rings the enemy's bell.
