Conocí a bask por srw y desde un inicio no me cayó bien, además del hecho de querer acabar con gato, en el anime se me hizo insufrible verlo (pobre soldado restante, no sabe lo que le viene encima)

day 50 already goddamn anyway here is Josh

Thought i would share some good old memories from 15 years ago.

Apologies if this subject was brought up in here before because I was going over some of the entries made in the early 90s as I feel like they could use a remastered version.

Like what sticks out to me is the SNES era games of the franchise as don’t get me wrong in that they are great fun to play, but sometimes I wonder what the voice acting would have been like if they got redone given the SNES’s hardware limitations.

They even had to shorten it to the initials, but don't worry, I'll show the full thing

Hey there. So I'm trying to make sure I have a vague grasp of the SRW series and continuities, before I go diving in at any one point. So I'm going to make some lists of what I know, ask some questions, and hopefully people who are lore experts can help me out!

I'm going to use some bolding and bullet points, but I did not use any AI in making this, I just figured it would make things easier for me to organize.

So, first we have the original game:

• Super Robot Wars (GB) - Not in any continuity, doesn't feature the human characters, just the robots. But there's also...
• Super Robot Wars HD (PS3/Vita) - A remake that adds more robots. Still doesn't have the characters, I think?

Then, the DC Wars Saga:

• Super Robot Wars 2 (FC)
• Super Robot Wars 3 (SFC)
• Super Robot Wars EX (SFC)
• Super Robot Wars 4 (SFC)
• Super Robot Wars Gaiden: Masoukishin - The Lord of Elemental (SFC) - Set before and after the series? (But probably best played last, not split in 2. That'd be silly.)

The original DC Wars Saga Remakes:

• Super Robot Wars 2G (GB) - Is this one not related to the rest of the list, being it's own little continuity as an altered version of 2?
• Super Robot Wars 4S (PS1) - The first remake of 4, that didn't change much? But does seem to take 2G's canon into account?

The new continuity DC War Saga Remakes:

• Super Robot Wars F (Sat/PS1) - The first part of the second remake of 4, which does add on and expand things?
• Super Robot Wars F Final (Sat/PS1) - The second part of 4.
• Super Robot Wars Complete Box (PS1) - Remakes of 2, 3, and EX, in F's engine. No plot changes?

Alpha series precursor games, not directly canon to Alpha but have elements that clearly inspire or continue a version of, from.

• Shin Super Robot Wars (PS1) - Not related to the Alpha series lore-wise, but a spiritual prequel? Is this accurate, my understanding is the enemies from Shin appear in Alpha, but it's a different universe version of them? Is that right?
• Super Robot Spirits (N64) - Fighting game. A version of events from Shin also happen in this universe.
• A version of Masoukishin also occurs in the Alpha timeline.

Alpha, these all fit together as one story?:

• Super Robot Wars Alpha (PS1)
• Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden (PS1)
• Super Robot Wars Alpha for Dreamcast (DC) - Remake of Alpha 1; doesn't change the initial story adds an extra route that isn't compatible with Alpha Gaiden.
• Super Robot Wars Alpha 2 (PS2)
• Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 (PS2)

The Compact series and related games. None of these are connected to each other lore wise, is every one stand alone?

• Super Robot Wars Compact (WS)
• Super Robot Wars Compact 2 – 1: Earth Crisis (WS)
• Super Robot Wars Compact 2 - 2: Cosmoquake (WS)
• Super Robot Wars Compact 2 - 3: Galactic Showdown (WS) - Or well, I assume all 3 "2" games are connected?
• Super Robot Wars Compact Color (WSC) - Remake of Compact, no changes?
• Super Robot Wars Impact (PS2) - Remake of the Compact 2 games? Any notable changes?
• Super Robot Wars Compact 3 (WSC) - To confirm, not canon-related to 2?
• Super Robot Wars MX (PS2) - Spiritual sequel to Impact, but not canon-related?
• Super Robot Wars MX Portable (PSP) - Remake of MX.

The games on various Nintendo platforms. My current guess is that every single one of these is their own standalone continuity, is this correct? None of them continue from another lore wise, only mechanics wise? (And I know some of these are a stretch to count, but I have to include them somewhere.)

• Super Robot Wars Link Battler (GB)
• Super Robot Wars 64 (N64) - Can link to Link Battler with Transfer Pak to unlock units, but no story relevance.
• Super Robot Wars A (GBA)
• Super Robot Wars R (GBA)
• Super Robot Wars D (GBA)
• Super Robot Wars GC (GCN)
• Super Robot Wars J (GBA)
• Super Robot Wars XO (360) - Xbox 360 remake of GC, any notable changes?
• Super Robot Wars W (DS)
• Super Robot Wars A Portable (PSP) - Remake of A, any notable changes?
• Super Robot Wars K (DS)
• SupaRobo Gakuen (DS) - I have no idea what this is, but seems very different from the other games?
• Super Robot Wars Neo (Wii)
• Super Robot Wars L (DS)
• Super Robot Wars UX (3DS)
• Super Robot Wars BX (3DS)

The RTS games:

• Super Robot Wars Scramble Commander (PS2)
• Super Robot Wars Scramble Commander the 2nd (PS2) - This is a story sequel, yes?

The Great Battle series; not directly related, but introduces Fighter Roar, who appears in the OG games. Only listing those games in which he appears; let me know if any other games are relevant, for any other reason:

• SD The Great Battle (SFC) - Not directly related, outside of possibly 2 continuing on from it.
• The Great Battle II: Last Fighter Twin (SFC) - Introduces Fighter Roar.
• Battle Soccer: Field no Hasha (SFC) - Did not verify Fighter Roar is in this.
• Battle Baseball (FC) - Did not verify Fighter Roar is in this.
• The Great Battle III (SFC)
• Battle Dodge Ball II (SFC) - FIghter Roar is on the box.
• The Great Battle IV (SFC)
• The Great Battle V (SFC)
• Grandread (Sat) - I don't know anything about this, but apparently Fighter Roar is in it. Anyone can fill me in?

These games are each in their own continuity, but have their own universe version of some of the OG characters:

• Hero Senki: Project Olympus (SFC)
• Super Hero Operations (PS1)
• Super Hero Operations: Diedal's Ambition (PS1) - Sequel to Super Hero Operations, but does not contain OG characters(?)

The original OG games:

• Super Robot Wars Original Generation (GBA)
• Super Robot Wars Original Generation 2 (GBA)

The rebooted OG saga. Is it safe to assume all the OG games ignore the GBA versions in lieu of the PS2 remake?

• Super Robot Wars Original Generations (PS2) - Remake of GBA OG1 and OG2.
• Super Robot Wars OG Gaiden (PS2)
• SRW OG Saga Endless Frontier (DS) - I don't think this has any OG crossover characters, and takes place in it's own world, but...
• SRW OG Saga Endless Frontier Exceed (DS) - This one does, and those versions are explicitly the ones from the OG games?
• Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masoukishin – The Lord of Elemental (DS) - Remake of SFC version, but now set in the OG timeline, with appropriate changes? Sounds like first part is also a prequel, while second part takes place after all other games before Moon Dwellers?
• Another Century's Episode: R (PS3) - Set in it's own universe, but like Endless Frontier, has crossover characters who are explicitly the OG versions, with later OG games making reference to it? That said, my question, is Episode: R it's own continuity from the other Another Century games, or is it standalone?
• Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masoukishin II - Revelation of Evil God (PSP) - Akurasu says it also "includes" a remake of Masoukishin; is this a remake of the SFC one, the DS one, or does it add/change things to make it it's own thing? If so, are the DS and PSP ones separate continuities/a replacement version?
• The 2nd Super Robot Wars OG (PS3)
• Project X Zone (3DS) - Yeah yeah, I know. But some characters appear in this, seemingly set between 2nd OG and Moon Dwellers?
• Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masoukishin III - Pride of Justice (PS3/Vita) - Masoukishin II and III take place later than games that follow, after Masoukishin I's 2nd part, up until Moon Dwellers.
• Super Robot Wars OG: Dark Prison (PS3)
• Super Robot Wars OG: Infinite Battle (PS3) - Arena fighter, not really canon because it lacks a story?
• Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masoukishin F - Coffin of the End (PS3) - I assume this takes place after Masoukishin III, before Moon Dwellers?
• Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers (PS3/PS4)

The Z Series. The wiki isn't clear on this, so these are all in continuity with each other, yes?

• Super Robot Wars Z (PS2)
• Super Robot Wars Z Special Disc (PS2) - Has some bonus missions that take place during and after Z.
• Super Robot Wars Z2: Hakai-Hen (PSP)
• Super Robot Wars Z2: Saisei-Hen (PSP)
• Super Robot Wars Z3: Jigoku-Hen (PS3/Vita)
• Super Robot Wars Z3: Rengoku-Hen (PS3/Vita) - Sub-game released alongside Tengoku-Hen, set between them.
• Super Robot Wars Z3: Tengoku-Hen (PS3/Vita)
• Super Robot Wars ZII: Ruination Remastered (Announced) - Is this a remake of... 2?

Super Robot Wars OE, which I believe is standalone?

• Super Robot Wars OE (PSP)

The VXT Trilogy: V and X are standalone.

• Super Robot Wars V (PS4/Vita/Switch/PC)
• Super Robot Wars X (PS4/Vita/Switch/PC)
• Super Robot Wars T (PS4/Switch) - In some bonus missions, versions of characters from V and X, hopping dimensions. They also appear in DLC with a larger plot, which later conflicts with how they're presented in Y.
• Super Robot Wars 30 (PS4/Switch/PC) - An anniversary game, contains references and versions of characters from multiple series, who may or may not be the versions from those universes? Not something I'm within the scope of being able to list, though.
• Super Robot Wars Y (PS5/Switch/PC) - Includes versions of characters from V, X, and T, and Z, hopping dimensions. However, it's events are mutually exclusive from T's DLC.

Super Robot Wars 30:

And finally, some final questions:

The mobile games. Do they have stories? Are they connected to any other games?

And then, Gilliam Jaeger. My understanding of his timeline is:

• Hero Senki: Project Olympus (SFC)
• Super Robot Wars 4 (SFC) - Seems like this is only a small cameo?
• Super Robot Wars F Final (Sat/PS1) - Appears in the Real Route, I assume this is at least slightly significant?
• Various OG games; so my question here is, it is stated he is "the same character in all universes", so is Original Generations PS2 completely overwriting the GBA ones for him, or did he experience both of these separately? Or is it a mystery?
• The mobile games
• Super Robot Wars 30 (PS4/Switch/PC) - Version of Gillian from much earlier in the timeline than the OG games?

Did I miss anything? Tell me what I got wrong, basically everything with a question mark is something I'm not completely sure of, so go nuts on correcting me or answering questions.

I haven't played Z3 yet, but I heard so many mixed things about Z3 and it's disapointing finale to the Z Series and the switch to HD graphics but still using handheld style map?

I wonder, was Z3 is rushed, why new show like Gargantia made it's debut at the last moment, instead of saving it for V or X. I wonder what happened during the development of Z3.​

please comeback for the final game

And with me revisiting srw 30
(Mainly to refamiliar myself with it while waiting on a certain mod to be English supported)

I’ve decided to put myself through a Pick my units run of it. For those interested in adding to my potential pain…I’ll need:

Every time someone mentions the word "Love" all I can think of is the spirit command from super robot wars.

Like if someone says something like "What is love" I can't stop myself from replying x2 Damage, exp and funds, 100% accuracy/evasion, spirit +10 and +3 movement even though I know literally nobody would get what I'm referencing.

I did SRW 30 first before going back to the others, and so initially the lack of front missions felt like a regression, but honestly now that I'm almost done with T, I do think T's sub-orders system are better than what 30 and Y had. Yes, the free missions can let you repeat them almost ad infinitum, but it's basically the equivalent of random-battle grinding in a JRPG--you still have to do the grind. And if you've got some really weak/inept units that you're trying to bring up-to-speed for whatever reason, the constant assists/lay-ups you need to provide from other units can feel tedious. It reminds me of trying to train your Abra back in the Gen1/Gen2 Pokemon days.

Getting Fa to Ace Pilot status in 30/Y was a slog for that reason. OTOH, in SRW T, it was a breeze. I could let her focus on healing in battles and then just feed her 2-3 kills from Patrol training every mission until she hit Ace. I'm not yet done with T yet (less than ten missions to go), but honestly the sub-orders system is so generous that everyone I reasonably wanted to train into my main team or get to Ace has done so, and it didn't require spoon-feeding them EXP from main missions.

I hope they consider bring it back in future installments.

I see enemies able to do it, but can’t seem to turn it on for my own units.

Not sure how well known this event among fans of the series, but if you know about the dispute regarding the OG mechs having Gundam face and it's controversy with Sunrise, the studio that produce Gundam anime. People speculating this event in 2OG is sort of a declaration from Bandai/ Sunrise to wipe out and publicly execute all Gundam lookalike mechs in SRW due to this issue. Something because of patterns, rights etc

Even the Wildscwein gets executed with the Huckebein together lol.

Random question in my head. Think of a character from would fit a Sanrio mascot. I'm thinking Ryoma from Robo Getter would be with Batz Maru

Did wataru kill y’all guys grandma or something?

I tried 3 times the first time I played 3rd Alpha and I still get the shivers reliving through those 11 turns on my first play

My god. It's beautiful (Still a work in progress, but beautiful).

I will always love this song and this mech
