V would have been my favorite SRW game if it kept up the Yamato setting and tone it has for the first handful of stages and not turned into flipping back and forth between alternate earths.

Also most secrets these days are just gotten by fighting and defeating bosses with the main character from their show. The only ones that might really trip you are the ones associated with kill counts.

I like Victory Gundam, but it certainly isn’t for most people. I hope we can flip the script some and recruit Duker Iq as a battleship captain.

Would the Bettermen be the first time, outside of the mobile games, they’ve used something that is just a straight up giant monster that doesn’t have any robotic parts or mechanical bite as a playable unit? I can’t think of anything that wasn’t at least nominally a robot, outside of like Alfimi.

It's been ages since I watched betterman, but i don't think the bettermens actually became giant in the original series, did they? The non-villain ones at least, my memories of that show are like a fever dream.

The main Betterman definitely ate seeds and turned into different big monsters.

SRW30 has got me watching SSSS Gridman which is kind of a great series, so that's a total win. Is Dynazenon a direct sequel or just another show in the universe?

It’s set after Gridman and two characters reappear, but it’s not a direct follow up. They are making a third show though that looks like it might be a more direct sequel to both.

I like Betterman solely through the nostalgia of being 10 and seeing it on Tech TV and being blown away that this cartoon was the weird amalgamation of every fictional idea I liked; robots, giant monsters and super powers

Make it a real twist and have the fantasy world be the real planet and the modern Earth be the virtual one. You could even do something like Akane being the pillar of the virtual earth Rayearth style.

Give me Star Driver, but make it an original story based on the like 5 minutes of post tv show story we see at the beginning of the movie where the final bad robot has become a tiny fairy companion to the protagonists.

Oh? So the SRX and Cybuster are both pre-order bonuses? I thought the former was going to be in the base game... guess I better get to it, then.

Yeah, that's interesting. I wonder how much they'll actually play into the story then. If they do include new characters in the DLC I guess we'll have a template to gauge how much integration they'll have with the rest of the game.

Most of the DLCs are non OG units, so I expect to see a lot of units from the Gundam MSVs since they licensed some for the game already.

GaoGaiGar Final would fit. Hell, if they were allowed/able/willing to, young Kouji and Tetsuya.

That would rule, because I love when the background story to a Super Robot Wars game is basically another unmade Super Robot Wars game. It adds a lot to the story when some of the characters already have connections to each other.

If it is anything like the previous ones, then the preorder missions are just "You get to recruit them early", and otherwise they only join late in the game. I'm guessing they might offer them as later DLC because you actually do miss a little interaction-wise without the extra units in the previous games.

That interview says that they aren’t like the previous games and will only exist in game if you preordered.

More common than not having Kouji, though.

Which is, to be clear, exactly once, due to having the weird Mazinkaiser SKL series instead.

I never thought the Xelguard felt particularly powerful. It always seemed pretty average power wise and not something I could just sling at enemies by itself to make them all disappear.

Presumably 'Unicorn is not DLC' means 'Unicorn will be a secret.' They did show Banagher in PV2, and the unicorn does appear briefly in a flashback in Narrative, so you can fudge it to get it in without having to have Unicorn as an entry in the series list. Probably a standard get Banagher a certain number of kills thing.

I guess it depends on if Unicorn means the Unicorn Gundam or Unicorn the series.

I'd sooner expect Noir as an upgrade than playable Arc.

Is Noir entirely OG or does it have a specific license attached to it?

It is a Super Robot Wars original and I don't know what license those might show up as. Mazin Emperor G wasn't listed as a separate license in V and X.

It looked like there was a choice on whether to start on Earth or in space with different initial series in them.

I’m still not sure on the designs of either main character. Neither one feels very standout to me.

As much as I want it too, I just can’t see how the battleship would transform. The hull look like one seamless piece with no obvious points where it would break apart into a human shaped form.

The encyclopedia covers some skills/traits, but not things like "Newtype". So right now, I have Gundams that have sub-50% chance of getting hit from an attack, while Black Getter has a 100% of eating each hit, presumably because Ryoma thinks evading is for wusses (I haven't seen the Getter series, so that may actually be the case, though apparently its just because Newtype gives a bonus to evasion)

If you highlight a skill there is some button that you can hit that tells you what it does.

It kind of bothers me how close those original enemies are to just being Gazas.

Also the upgrade bars are in three sets of five with the last set appearing to not be selectable at the start. I wonder if they are going to do the unthinkable and have three full upgrade style bonuses instead of the two they’ve been doing recently.

I am assuming they are going to be like the bonus DLC missions from the previous games and mostly be silly short things

Most likely, the only wild card is the DLC missions with new units. With the way they are doing level select in this I could see them being actual stages that show up on the map.
