Yesssss.

I'm still annoyed that I can't get G Bankaran's theme to show up in Z3's custom music list. I made room and everything, but Boss Borot has to go without.

When was the last time we got a surprise like G Bankaran in a SRW game? G Bankaran came out of nowhere and is probably my favorite OG robot now. All the mainline games either show every series in the CG opening or in the attract mode. I think it would be awesome to just have something like Layzner just show up unannounced out of nowhere midgame.

That might happen in an OG title, but it'd make no sense in a mainline game. If you're including Layzner in the game, why wouldn't you want to advertise the fact to attract Layzner fans?

I understand business wise why you wouldn't do something like that I would just like to be surprised ever once in a while.

I picked up most of the mech names over the years by looking over their profiles at mahq.net. I think it lists pilot names there too.

There are a lot of people they should honestly just leave out for a game, so they can come back in the next game after that and feel fresh and new, same as they do in the main line games sometimes.

My secret dream is that the couple with the baby from the first game show up at the grand finale of the series to save the day.

One of their babies grows up into Basara and he shows up to play GONG after some space-time shenanigans.

Either that or the kid teaches Axel how to handle a guitar (could've easily sorted out Perfectio if you had one, man)!

OG really needs a music character in the vain of Basara or Mic Sounders.

Alpha 2 was the only game that actually did battleships right because every single one of them was excellent. Basically every other game has only one good battleship or no good battleships.

I never really understood their insistence in giving some battleships terrible aim. In original generations you would consistently get 30% chances to hit. That just makes me never use the battleships for anything. It is not like their attacks are super power and one shot the bad guys.

Yeah, it's generally agreed that there's no way in hell they're gonna use the actual episode 7 plot since everything that happened was stupid, terrible, and wouldn't actually contribute to the game one bit. At least they basically have open season to make Laplace's Box into anything they want!

The secret of Laplace's Box will probably be something like all the worlds were originally one or maybe something to do with Paradigm City. I imagine the events with the Unicorn itself will play out somewhat similarly. It basically lets them do something similar to what they did with the Nirvash at the end of Z.

I wonder if we will actually get the ending of Orguss. The bad guys could easily be Baal guys but I don't think the actual ending of the show would work with the story of the Z games.

Orguss is one of the few shows from the original game to continue to show up so they must have some sort of plan for it.

I don't know the specifics but you want Ideon to get low HP and also not to kill or hit anything. Basically the worse you do in battle the higher the gauge gets and the better you do the lower it gets.

That's interesting to hear. I didn't check out the past two games because the animations looked way too stiff and stilted compared to the usual SRW.

I think Dancouga Nova is just a Banpresto Original at this point. Has it failed to be in anything since it's debut?

It wasn't in OE. All I know is that they better bring back original Dancouga in Z3.2. That fist bump dynamic kill was one of the best things they have done in years.

I want a combo attack with Mazinger and every other Rocket-Punchable robot where 100 Rocket Punches features the flying fists of all the other robots as well.

Also another Shinn/Luna Destiny/Impulse combo but we're probably getting that in Z3-2 anyway.

Sounds like it is time to introduce combo map attacks.

Really I just don't even know where they are going to go with Z3.2. I guess it will depend on which new series they add. Honestly I wish towards the end of the game they just say screw it and let all the shows from Z pop back up. It feels kind of weird that the series will end without most of the shows that that were a part of it in the first place. Going from the end of Z3.1 back to Full Metal Panic enemies seems crazy even though similar things happened in the Alphas.

No you see the Satellite Cannon takes 4.03 seconds to charge so that means it has to be useable only every 4 turns when each turn is about a minute long when they actually measure that. Also let's not make it especially powerful compared to other units' final attacks.

I'm not at all bitter about this.

I just wish we'd get a combo Satellite Cannon Attack with X and Double X. If Mazinger and Great Mazinger get like 6 combo attacks they can give the Gundams one.

I think there was one in R. I also remember seeing an attack video showing the DX and like 8 G-Bits firing Satellite Cannons at the same time. Now wouldn't those be amazing to see in Hd, or at least in a game with graphics more advanced than R.

I've never played it but from everything I've heard R sounds like a game that they really tried to take advantage of the crossover world. Also I'm pretty sure it let you have a combo attack with any two mobile suit that used bits or funnels which is the kind if thing I wish more games did.

Maybe it's D I'm thinking of. Which ever one of those had you join up with Neo Zeon.

Yeah, Frontier is the easiest one to fit in basically. I'm sure they'd love to use Original if they could but they can't.

They clearly love MX7 and use it at every chance though. Basara basically gets the lavish fan treatment every single time he shows up in a game. Gamlin gets to show up too because odds are Koyasu is already voicing six dudes in any given SRW as-is.

I'd kind of like to see them try to do a game that uses original Macross and serves as some sort of Lost in Space story. They could put in shows that don't really involve the Earth as a setting like Vifam, Crossbone Gundam, Megazone, and Ideon.

I hope Build Fighters never shows up. SRW is way into unironic ridiculous large-scale spectacle and Build Fighters is into something wonderful but very different. Even assuming they could exposit their way in (and I believe it, SRW is shameless), everything lovable about the show would end up even worse off than Dai-Guard.

(I mean, I love Dai-Guard as a unit, and Akagi has some good character moments, but honestly.)

If they don't want to make every series model sized all they have to do is make all of the models into suits in some sort of mobile suit fighting league and call all the builders mechanics or engineers. Characters can still sperg out about meeting the famous suits used by other Gundam characters and everything.

I think the Gunbuster animations suck other than Buster Beam. Inazuma Kick is just so utterly anti-climatic.

From what I was told, the Gunbuster is half busted from being salvaged from a block of ice with only Noriko in it as a result of one of the quakes. Kazumi is simply not in this dimension, and I want to say Noriko doesn't remember poo poo

Inazuma Kick couldn't be too flashy so that when Kazumi comes back we can get Super Inazuma Kick. Man I hope Diebuster is in the next game. I need an Inazuma Kick combo attack or even better a Super Gainax Special.

I thought she acted weird because the Gemini sphere was giving here a spit personality but after reading up on things you don't get the sphere until you steal it from the drunken hobo guy at the very end of the game.

I still wish we got a main character with the Pisces or Aquarius sphere so we could get an amphibious original.
