Actually, I figured out what really annoys me about his re-write. He's basically kinda-evil-except-not-really-evil Kyosuke now and is so much blander for it.

Having no preconceptions of Axel when playing the GBA game, he was one of my favorite antagonists. I don't mind the rewrite much, though, as he's still got the awesome theme song. As long a she's still entertaining. This is the part where OG2 became great, before it became a grind. Did they fix that?

Not really. Twinning helps with damage output, but the major problem with OG2 is always going to be the stupid hit/dodge rates the enemy can pull, and the fact that pretty much all your units can take three hits at most. It takes them until 2ndOG to make armor worth a drat. Sure, the bosses can still be easily one-turned by the SRX because that's what the SRX does, but the grunts become significantly more dangerous.

UC Gundam units in general were hosed pretty badly in the early games. The various beam weapons were useless against most things you'd face in a space-based stage IIRC.

I'm fine with the Axel rewrite, Axel was one of my favourite protagonists in Advanced, where he's a silly fucker even when he gets his memory back. This however seems like a good time to bring up Super Robot Wars OG2, Ver.A This is a japanese romhack of Original Generation 2, which along with some other changes, notably has the main story switch of Axel into the position of Lamia. The exception of course is you can actually recruit Lamia back.

If your Gundam unit didn't have funnels on it, it wasn't getting used for the end of the game. That's before we got into other quirks of SRW 3, like how instead of telling individual pilots to dodge or block, you set your enemy-phase strategies globally. Your choices were: 1. Always counter. 2. Counter unless below 50%. 3. Counter unless you might die  (SRW3 AI IS VERY BAD AT JUDGING WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN) 4. Never counter. And every unit on your team would do the same thing. SRW3 was like this black hole of horrendous design decisions lurking between 2 and EX.

No beam rifles, sprayguns, cannons, nothing. No Photonic Beam (Mazinger) or Freezing Beam (Great Mazinger). And yes, no Getter Beam, which completely loving hoses Getter-1/Getter Dragon. By the time you get more than two thirds of the way through the game, every boss has an I-Field. Good loving luck.

AradoBalanga posted:IIRC, this bullshit also applied to Breast Fire and Breast Burn, since they were considered beam weapons up until Alpha. Meaning Kouji was almost useless and Tetsuya had to rely on the 1-ammo Great Booster. The worst thing about SRW 3 is their version of "fanservice" secrets is that if you use Camille to take out Scirocco (in the 3rd to last mission of the game), his mind is scrambled and his stats plummet into uselessness, essentially removing one of your best pilots from the roster for the rest of the game. You can get around this by recruiting Four, who has a game-long turn limit requirement (350 turns or less by mission 47) and is only available on a single path split. No, wait, the worst thing is that you can't turn off or speed up animations.

I like how they did it the opposite way in Alpha Gaiden, where the Waverider Crash was a secret attack...but getting it meant you killed Rosamia (but it's not like she joined you or anything if you didn't get it). Basically the sole instance of strictly following how Zeta Gundam went down means actually getting a reward for it.

I never knew about the whole fourth wall deal in that mission  I was never that "devoted" to trying to beat them all down in some special order anyhow, but it's kind of cool how the game actually acknowledges the accomplishment, even if it is more funny than rewarding. Also, until the update, I never actually realized Wendolo was just a kid. I knew he was a younger guy than his cronies, but I didn't realize he was a child. I'd like to know more about his original appearance in SRW3 (since I never played it, let alone found any translations of it), but I suspect I'm delving into spoilers here.

Wendolo's role in SRW3 is basically the same as here. The main difference is that the early SRWs' intermission scenes only showed what was happening to your people, never anything that was happening elsewhere, so you never even see Wendolo until you confront him directly. This is probably also why Bian comes out to smack you around personally halfway through SRW2, since you'd never meet him otherwise.

Mission 23 Once again, the killboard shows us a bunch of people we won't be using. Intro quote:Brian Midcrid's office receives word of the White Star's loss. Graien immediately orders a full military response; Brian thinks it may be time to open negotiations, and asks Nibhal to try and make contact. (Nibhal again feigns ignorance.) Brian also wants to pursue a cease-fire with the NDCs, believing that Van will agree now that the threat is clear.  Mission 23: The Third Raptor  Objective: Kill. No mastery requirement yet.   We have a group of nine Gunsects. They're not too remarkable, but they give a little visual variety.   Radha and the Schutzwald are the same as we remember. She has SP Regen, which will be handy, as well as Foresight, which will also be handy provided we can get the 130 morale she needs for it to activate. Unfortunately for her, she can't pull better than a 60-70% dodge rate against the robots, even with Focus.    Making things more fun, we have some secret poo poo to take care of, so I can't use the Schutzwald's big guns. So the enemies will have lots of opportunity for her to fire back.   On the enemy phase everybody takes their turn to shoot at Radha, and she leaves them all looking like this.        She takes a hit or two, but miraculously she pulls through in good shape.  The enemy have made no move to fire on Mao Industries, confirming Radha's suspicions. Then---   Radha: "An MP Mark II? Identify yourself!"   Arado: "It's me, Ms. Radha." Radha: "Arado!? What are you doing? That mech should be---" Marion: "I had it prepared for him." Radha: "Dr. Radom!"   Marion: "Arado Balanga. I've chosen weapons suitable for your talents. Make good use of them." Arado: "A knife, an assault machine gun... I get those... but this thing's just a big metal ball! You sure you didn't just give me whatever was lying around?" Marion: "Don't be rude. I made it in a hurry, but it's been tested three or four times. And given what you said when you piloted the Falken..." Arado: "Um... I guess so."   Radha: "But..." Arado: "It's okay, I'm a School grad. And I gotta pay Mao back for taking care of me. If I can't do this, I'll never help... anybody else." Radha: "...All right. Then please, give me your strength." Arado: "You got it!"  So now we've got Arado in - of course - an MP Huckebein. It's been a while since we saw him on the battlefield, so a quick refresher... he has Fortune (extra cash), Lucky (automatic crits and dodges at random, especially if you're Evil Tasuku at the end of the first game), and level 2 support defense. His melee stat is noticeably higher than his ranged, so Marion seems to know what she's doing.   Unfortunately, the MP Huckebein is a piece of junk and the enemies still pull a 50% with Focus. That's okay, though, because...          To sort-of-but-not-really quote Chang Koehan, they may have a 50% hitrate, but Arado has this big metal ball. This MP Huckebein has a Boost Hammer, a nod to a ridiculous Gundam weapon that I'm guessing was itself a nod to a ridiculous Daitarn 3 weapon. It won't one-shot these guys if it's not a crit, but that's why Radha softened everybody up on the first turn.  It only has a four-space range, as does the MP Huckster's assault rifle, so it takes a couple of turns for Arado to clear them all out. Amazingly, he only gets hit once or twice as well. Maybe the game is apologizing for the previous mission.  During all of this, Radha's been ignoring the Gunsects and running south. This is because she has the Foresight skill, meaning that this is an entirely logical decision for her in-universe and certainly not a cheese tactic based on having played the game before.   Arado pops the last Gunsect at the beginning of a player phase. Secret Weapon (complete) On Mission 23, have Arado finish off all of the Gunsects   Radha senses the arrival of more enemies before they appear.   A moment later the transport launches, accompanied by Ring and Rio. The AM Gunner looks to be running fine, although the G-Impact Cannon is offline.  Mao Industries is now completely empty. The masters for all their designs are aboard the shuttle, with only dummy data left in the computers. Marion's also left a virus among the files - an appropriate parting gift for their attackers, Ring thinks. It'll be quite a while before anyone can use Mao's production line...   Ring: "Now, Rio and I will make an opening in the enemy lines." Arado: "We're going straight into them!?" Ring: "That's right. If we go the other direction, we draw them towards Cerevis and the other lunar facilities." Arado: "I... I get it!"   Ring: "Does that frighten you, Arado Balanga?" Arado: "No way! I'm always best on the front lines!" Marion: (Hmhm... he's a very promising one.)   Ring points out the target zone. After this, they'll try to join up with the Federation's forces - the Hiryu Kai, if possible. Rio tells Ryoto to leave the fighting to her; he agrees, but then falls silent, clearly unhappy.   Ring: (Riding a Huckebein, fighting against Huckebeins... I suppose we've brought that on ourselves. But I'm the one piloting now... let me show you what this raptor can do! The Huckebein won't vanish here!)   So now we have a big pack of MP Huckebeins to tear apart. We need to escort the Tausendfussler past them to the south edge of the map, with an extra little wrinkle: to get the battle mastery, the transport can't take any damage.  Good news, Ryoto's piloting the transport and will actually get a 50% evasion rate if he's attacked. Bad news, he's an NPC unit and he's going to fly straight into the enemy if we don't take them out first.  We've also got Ring in the Huckebein 008L, now just called the Huckebein...   ...And Rio in the AM Gunner, sort of a flying cannon. Its built-in mech abilities are a Gravity Territory (defensive barrier) and "Combine." There's nothing for it to combine with, though.   Anyway, we've got a path to clear.     The Hucksters are a bit too hefty to one-shot.  Ring and Rio move forward; the central group of enemies stays put while the left and right wings start to converge on Radha.    Even on the next phase, Ring and Rio can't attack (especially Rio, since the AM Gunner has no post-movement attacks). Arado moves up to distract half of the enemies; hopefully Rada can handle the other side.     why is the goofy joke weapon my best one    Arado quickly shreds the right group of enemies. Radha softens up the left.  The middle group largely ignores us and barrels straight towards the transport, attacking Ring and Rio on the way.    The AM Gunner's missiles just can't compete with the BOOST HAMMER.  Ryoto gets nice and cozy with the aliens that are trying to kill him.  So now our battle mastery is in jeopardy. There are four MPs all around Ryoto, and by odd coincidence, there are four of us. Luckily, three of them are already damaged (one by Radha during a player phase, the other two by Rio and Ring in counterattacks), and Arado can just crush the last one.   Which he does.   That still leaves the left and right groups, but dumb OGs AI triumphs again; they're only interested in whoever's closest, which means the left group all keeps going for Radha and gets wiped out. And the right group is too far away to do anything.   On the next phase, the Tausendfussler moves forward and we get the mastery!  But... we're not at the escape zone?  Scene quote:Mekibos appears and promptly shoots down the transport. He introduces himself as an Inspector, or as a Guest if they prefer; Ring and Kirk both recognize the latter term. Noticing Ring's Huckebein, he comments on the unfortunate accident they had during the first model's test, surprising them both - apparently he has some knowledge of what happened. Mekibos offers to spare their lives if they surrender their mechs (and expertise), but Ring flatly denies him. Aboard the downed transport, Kirk and Marion prepare to flee, though Ryoto hesitates to just abandon the Mk. III.  So now we've got Mekibos to deal with, along with the remaining Huckebeins.  The grunts don't last very long. Our setup for fighting Inspectors isn't quite as good as the previous mission. Arado has Grit for survival and Strike for accuracy, but is mostly out of SP. Rio has Alert, but no Strike. Radha can cast Alert, and can use Attune to cast Strike on somebody else. Ring has Sense, so that's Alert and Strike in one. We can chase Mekibos away if we do 30,000 damage, but at this point I don't have the resources I need to do it.  But I don't realize that at first, so you get to watch me mess around a bit.    Mekibos: "It's too late to ask for mercy!" Rio: "Who's asking? You're not getting the Mk. III!"  I'm not savescumming to beat Mekibos this time.   On the next player phase after his arrival, Mekibos announces that the warm-up's over and it's time to get started. His assurances that it'll be fun and there's no reason to be worried aren't actually all that reassuring. Ring yells for everyone to target the Graterkin's drive system; hopefully the Federation has noticed the commotion, but we're going to have to assume that help won't be coming. Meanwhile, Ryoto still hasn't escaped, to Rio's deep concern...   At the downed transport, Marion announces that they're ready to leave. Ryoto is silent for a moment...   Ryoto: "I'm staying..." Marion: "Have you lost your mind? What do you think you'll accomplish?" Ryoto: "I'll go out in the Mk. III." Marion: "Now? The Type-L's T-LINK system isn't stable." Ryoto: "Then I'll disconnect it. That should be enough for me to help, at least."   Marion: "Don't be stupid. Don't you care if we lose the Mk. III?" Ryoto: "If I don't go help, I'll lose something more important!"     Kirk: (If we adjust the output, we can get it moving. And Ryoto has plenty of potential. Perhaps this is like the SRX's case... and an element of danger is the key.)   Ryoto tells them both to go to Cerevis without him, but Kirk suggests that instead of disconnecting the Huckebein's T-LINK, it'll be better just to switch the OS. That'll take time, but he'll stay behind to help. Kirk tells Marion to go ahead without him, only for her to respond that she's never had to listen to him and that three sets of hands will get the job done even faster. Besides, she doesn't want to abandon the Wildwurger, either.  Meanwhile, we're almost tapped out, but we'll try a thing or two. Radha uses Attune on Arado to queue up a supported attack.   Mekibos: "That MP Huckebein suits you. You'll both die here." Arado: "What the--- what part of that suits me!?"        This would be a decent start, although it'd be better if Ring were using something bigger. She follows up herself.   Ring: "You're not just after the prototypes... you want my company's factory, as well?" Mekibos: "That's right. A few mechs isn't enough to win a war. But once we put them into mass-production, it'll be another story." Ring: "That's how you do things?" Mekibos: "More than that. Sow the seeds, then reap the harvest - although it looks like some of you have caught on to that."  Another sliver of health gone.  Radha casts another Attune on Rio, who counters Mekibos when he attacks next.        This is with Valor. Not bad, by itself.  We try to follow up on the next turn with another support, this time with Radha kicking it off.   Mekibos: "That mech's a museum piece. You're going to die." Radha: "I can't! I have to protect the transport!"  Plink. At this point we're pretty much stuck; we're out of SP and our machines can't stand up to the Graterkin without spirits. If Ring had killed one more enemy she'd have enough morale to use the Black Hole Cannon, which would've made the difference here. But she didn't, so it didn't.  So Radha just parks in front of him and casts Alert every turn to wait him out until the mission ends on its own. Closing quote:Mekibos announces that he's bored and it's time to finish them off, but at that moment Ryoto launches in the Huckebein Mk. III. However, the T-LINK feedback overcomes him as he makes his attack, resulting in low damage, and the Graterkin's counterattack leaves the mech in critical condition. Rio tries to intervene, but is nearly shot down herself.  Also, because we got the secret, we get to keep the -----   Ibis: "All done! Tsugumi, what's the snack today?"

It is a secret, after all. Notice that the original Huckbein isn't nearly as good as it was in OG1, because you get it for free. Anyway, here you can see that Banpresto finally sorted out the Alpha heroes after Alpha 2 came out. OG1 was kind of confused, but by OG2 they've settled that Kusuha is the super MC, like in Alpha, and Ryoto is the real MC. This might be because Ryoto is the same archtype as Kusuha, or he might just be next most popular, or Leona and Tasuku were just busy with their own OG plot. So here's the Alpha real robot upgrade, where the Huckebein Mk II was switched out for the Mk III. ...except Bullet was in the Mk II last game so we're just upgrading out of nowhere. It's fine. Also, in Alpha the Gunner was a deployable frame for the Huckebein Mk III, whereas here it needs a separate unit to combine. I'm guessing this was to give the protagonists something to do together, but unfortunately the Gunner was also heavily nerfed in OG and it took them something like two games to just make it a frame again. (whereas in Alpha the Gunner was by far the better choice)

Oh man finally a Huck worth something. And now all the protag pairs on our side have TK. Great. Well except for Kyo/Excel. Though they do make up for it in raw stats and damage numbers. And Banpresto doesn't really know what to do with bullet. But they do fix him eventually, I believe. [e]Or rather, the scale of OG1 didn't allow for Super pilot Bullet, but that's about to change

It is now two units instead of one, has lost three attacks (Fang Slasher*, AM Gunner's version of the G-Impact Cannon, Gravity Ring) from Alpha 1 and most importantly, nearly all post-movement attack options. Only the vulcans are post-move now, making the aforementioned future upgrade much more worthwhile for the Mk.III overall.*=If you'll note, the Fang Slasher is still attached to the Mk.III's arm when docked with the Gunner. And yet somehow, OG wants us to believe that the docking procedure somehow disables the Fang Slasher. I dare you to make less sense.

There is a pair later who can make the Gunner work due to their skills and inbuilt spirits, but they have better options and really the Gunner is just Bad.

Good things about this stage: The boost hammer, Ryoto doing a cool thing, finally getting the Mk III. I actually like the Gunner, since it is a multipilot unit that works pretty well with a different set of pilots. I find the Huckebein Gunner greater than the sum of its individual parts, at least in this game. Bad things about this stage: It begins a long, long trend of OG2's that I call "getting ambushed by late game bosses and waiting until they're timed out". If you're not using a guide to know they're coming at you, odds are you won't be able to force them to retreat and all you can do is hope you don't have to redo the stage. It is not very fun.

Huh, how's that combination going to work? Will you need to build up morale or something, or is it just available from the word go?
