Athrun? You seem to be confused, Alex Dino is the one who wears glasses like Quattro.

They're lovely sunglasses, too: We can still see Athrun's eyes (don't bullshit me, the most important part of a disguise like this is that the only person it fools is the guy wearing it) through them, unlike the pair Char wears through Zeta, which were apparently made out of one-way tinted glass for how effectively it blocks his eyes out.

That said, it's more effort than Athrun went to in SRW Z, where it's just Athrun wearing a loving jacket and turtleneck, and insisting his name is Alex:

YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYBODY, BLUE-HAIRED CHAR

Making Kitei no Tsurugi sound remotely good.

It's amazing how much better this song sounds without the vocals. Like, I heard this version first, thought "Well, this is the immediate winner of the BGMs so far", decided to look up the actual OP, regretted it the second the vocals kicked in.

So Godannar has a character who looks like he stepped out of a Go Nagai series, and his name is Kouji Tetsuya?

Subtlety is not Godannar's strong suit.

I know we're right around the part in SEED Destiny where the writers start making GBS threads relentlessly on ~~Bootleg Kamille~~ Shinn now that they have ~~Bootleg Amuro~~ Kira back to play with again, but is this also around the part where the show's quality does a quintuple backflip corkscrew swandive directly into the gaping maw of Hell yet, or does that come later?

I dunno why you guys are so surprised about Kouichi taking his sweet time in joining the party; the most obviously busted unit playing hard-to-get is a time honored SRW tradition.

: Dick� Yeah, you�re right. The second you give up, then it�s all over!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you shouldn't name a character Dick. And in a game with Godannar too, no less...

The one good thing you can say about K is that it had a fun and surprising series list.

I maintain that K's greatest sin was being the game that introduced Gun X Sword to the series. Because god drat, GxS deserved so much better for it's debut and now we'll probably never see it in a SRW again outside of maybe X-Omega.

Great Zeorymer WOULD oneshot both of them from full health with Infernal Hades, but that's the thing: from full health.

Let Guy fully activate Prevail, and he could probably absorb enough damage to take a single shot.

If Brunom does do UX (and my hat's off to him if he does, it's a really good game but it's buggy as poo poo, not to mention the difficulty of emulating 3DS games), you'll see a much, much better representation of Linebarrels.

I'm almost certain that The 3DS hard-crashing when the Shining Trapezohedrons collide is 100% intentional.

Where's Taiga when you need him to talk about turning non-zero odds into 100% likelihood with the power of Bravery?

Well, now somebody has to do UX to see if they point out the similarity there.

(UX has Trailblazer and manga Linebarrels, for the unfamiliar.)

UX is worth LPing just to get a single secret: Andrei Smirnov, who brings Patrick as a bonus. No really, you do a bunch of steps to recruit Andrei, and you get Patrick for free as well. Andrei's GN-XIV is also hilariously one of the better animated units in the game.

Oh, and to show off how easily Zhuge Liang can shatter the game over his knee by being set as your Tactician.

Is Zhuge Liang the Tactician that turns off Evasion Decay? Because I thought the sheer power of that made whoever it was the best one.

Welp, so much for our dreams of Gundam WEED. Now Rey's probably gonna go turncoat just like Z, since there hasn't been any Rey-centric secret. At least we got another garbo squaddie to make up for the loss of the best mook-sweeper in the game.

Block a colony drop with a counter-drop? Thats kind of a hilarious image.

I mean, it can't be much different from when Axis Zeon crashed Axis into the Gate of Zedan. Just take out the part where you tear the whole thing in half.
