Tribladeofchaos posted:The fact that they made Allenby a secret for A and J was just baffling to me, especially J since you can't even save Master Asia! And J is super easy, the only units you can't solo the game with are Sol Tekkaman 1 and 2 because they suck just that bad. SEED alongside literally any other Gundam show makes no goddamned sense because of the whole 'Only Coordinators can use mobile suits' deal for like, half the plot or whatever. But oh wait, Gundam Fighters. And the painfully straight way SEED is played in J doesn't really help, as you said.

Mercury Crusader posted:When was the last time OYW shows up in a SRW game? Operation Extend? And even then, they're mashing in CCA and almost everything leading up to it because I guess people would be upset if Amuro didn't get the Nu Gundam at some point. Pretty sure Moon Dwellers had an ability combo to reduce beam damage or something...but that's really it.

So does someone know a better place to import from than play-asia? Not that I have issues with them, they just seem to take forever to get here.

My wife has some friends who do importing too so she's going to ask them. How quickly do they start showing up on eBay, since obviously they don't do pre-orders?

I might do that myself, play blind for a change. Doubly so if Expert Mode remains and I don't have to worry about 'okay accel everything the first turn so I can make it over there to do the SR'

Ka0 posted:I've also started upgrading some robots, Belzelute for instance, higher accuracy so Calvina won't miss half of the time. Mobility for the Granteed. I assume spending money on Gilliam's gespenst which is made of paper is not a good investment? Upping the Mobility on the Granteed is kind of a waste. With enough Armor it'll be taking zero damage from most attacks, thanks to its own barrier.

Ka0 posted:Understood. Please tell me more about pilot and robot abilities. I see you purchase them with AP rather than cash or pp. There're three slots per pilot and his or her corresponding robot. They are color coded for attack, defensive, hit and support. Most of them read as "will activate when equipping at least 3", does that mean I have to buy the same ability three times for it to activate? Why do both robots and pilots have those three slots, is there a redundancy I'm missing? Those are as weird as they sound. Basically yes, you need to have three of the ability equipped to get the effect. This explains further, but basically, both pilots in a twin get the benefit of all the ability bonuses. So pairing say, the R-1 and the ART-1 and giving one of them the Nendou Up ability would give both mechs the 5% damage bonus on those attacks. There's not really any reason to split the abilities between more than one pilot/mech. Stick the three items on one thing, it doesn't matter. And work your way to getting Block ability parts for every pair. Trust me.

Blaze Dragon posted:Is there any easy way to get those new English SRWs? I'm really feeling like playing some but I don't want to restart Z for the millionth time (because I know I won't complete it anyways). I thought about getting V or X off the Singapore PSN store but they're stupidly expensive there (89.90 SGD, what the gently caress). Physical from Play-Asia is a much more managable 49 dollars but then importing it would probably be a gigantic pain in the rear end in this backwater third world shithole I live in, not to mention the extreme and unclear waiting time. If you make yourself an SEA Region PSN account you can buy it there, by buying the PSN cards through play-asia or some such. Once it's downloaded it won't care what account you're on, so if importing is a pain that might be the easiest way.

MonsieurChoc posted:V is very good. Agreed, the dynamic between Chitose and Nine is much better than Iori/Amari and Spero. It also felt like it made better use of the series involved even with the world hopping. But drat it'll be nice to not have any world hopping involved in T. Now if only we could get classic Nadeisco back.

KoB posted:Im pertty sure all of these exist. I've got two Gespensts (One is the special edition red one from 2nd OGs), an OG Huckebein, both Fairlions, Guarlion Trombe, Grungust Type 3, Grungust Type 0, Alteisein Riese, Valsione and the R-Gun myself. I actually just got the Galilnagant for X-Mas too. I've also got Weissritter and Cybuster as plain figures rather than models. Koto does their kits differently enough from Bandai that you'll really notice the difference if you build both kinds.

New Shin Dragon looks boss. Glad to see the rest of the Shuffle Alliance too. GGG needs some animation help, that Dividing Driver just lacked any impact at all. OG mech looks nice, but needs an upgrade. Also glad that the other protag just gets the Gespenst. I love me some Gespensts.

Ka0 posted:Stupid MD question time. When you get the Cerbelion, is Radha an OK choice. If it's more melee oriented than the Hyperlion or Siegerlion, but it has that -lion mobility bonus. It's not terrible overall, I think I ended up putting Ryoto or Yon in it when I did use it, but the inability to equip more weapons makes it fall behind other reals, in my opinion.

drrockso20 posted:One of the things I really like about V is that none of it's shows are in isolation*, they all tie into at least one other series on their respective worlds in some notable fashion Ugh, SEED made no sense at all in J. Though it did a pretty poor job overall of having different series interact. The best it did was having FMP mooks fighting for Dr Hell at one point. But there were plenty of stages where you'd finish off all of one wave of ZAFT, only for a wave of Radam to show up or something. They never fought against each other or anything.
