I want Seed and Fafner together in an original story where they can just hang out. I’m very curious what Fafner would be like minus the angst and melodrama.

I suspect you'll get access to both, like how Shinji gets Eva-13 and Eva-01(god) in V and it's just a case of Mazinkaiser being overall stronger than Shin but Shin getting to go Zero Mode or something

I'd allow it and use Mazinkaiser because I want to see the new version of Mazinkaiser based on Shin and V was enough Zero for me.

Zero's it's own pilot, but in cutscenes it's established that Shiro controls it with a wrist-radio.

Being able to swap Mazinger guys around is good, but the Shin doofuses haven't let us yet. Being able to put Sayaka or Boss in the ShinKaiser or Emperor G would be cool.

It is indeed kind of depressing that the money pit game gets everything but the kitchen sink these days while the mainline series gets only a drip of new content. Hopefully they will balance the scales one day.

I won't deny that, but expecting X to have more new entries than just four or so isn't exactly an excessive demand.

V had seven, but three were units only (and characters for the Hathaway's Flash guys, I guess); X has four, but none are units only. As a random older example, Alpha 3 also had four.

Doesn't seem too much worse.

Edit: The Z games had a ton, but IMO it was too big for itself near the end anyhow.

No Getter in this game means no Mazin Emperor G.
I don't even care that much about Getter but man I loved the idea of that unit.
Guess I'll have to settle for the super-awesome Mazinger Zero.

All future games must have Mazinger Zero.
Even the OG games.
Especially the OG games.

Unrelated.
What was that Gundam series with all the weird country-themed Gundams and why isn't that in this game? They have eleventy billion gundam series in every SRW and yet not that one.
Because I know it was utterly foundational but I could not give less of a poo poo about Char's Counterattack and I don't know any of the other Gundam series from Adam. Except for Turn A and Unicorn and I don't care about Turn A or Unicorn.

I don't remember it having anything do with Getter in V outside of a token "it has some Getter related power source" which can be replaced with any number of things or dropped completely.

g was in a ton of games in the ps1/ps2 era and is also kind of clunky to fit in since you have to constantly have the characters go from/to a tournament unless you start the game halfway through the show's plot, in which case the shuffle alliance just shows up out of nowhere and you fight master asia twice which isn't exactly a strong showing.

Code Geass
Nadesico TV

but I don't believe it because A) Gaogaigar and G Gundam feels a bit too meme, B) the amount of stuff they can reuse from Z3/V feels a bit low, and C) loving Dorvack? Really?
also hilariously this leak got literally nothing right

even gundam wing and code geass are specifically endless waltz and r2

The only tournament that people actually go to in G is the grand finals tournament in the second half of the series; the early parts of the show are Domon wandering around Earth fighting people along the way while looking for clues about Kyoji, which fits pretty nicely with your average SRW early game plot.

I act once more in

I've started making my way through V and a question has occured to me, does the custom bonus for a mech come specifically when all the upgrade bars are at 5 or is it just when the custom level is at 50% so you don't need to upgrade less useful stats for it?

edit: Nevermind I just tested it myself and had to get all the bars to 5 even when the % was above 50 to actually get the bonus.

I don't think any game actually did G Gundam's tournament plotline, at best they make reference or joke about it.

Most of the non-Shuffle Alliance tournament fighters don't appear either, except in 64, which I think had Mandala Gundam playable for reasons.
