2nd Super Robot Wars: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

It began what most fans term the "[[Fan Nickname|Classic Timeline]]", to wit, the "Divine Crusaders War" (or just the DC War) ias the focus of this game. Basically, some alien technology is discovered by a scientist named Bian Zoldark, who studies it and informs the world the crap that will fly unless they're prepared for the alien threat. Since he isn't taken seriously, he starts a war to jolt [[The Federation]]'s attention. Enter the good guys, who wind up becoming part of SRW's first [[Xanatos Gambit]]. Oh, and the first of many [[Original Generation]] characters and mecha are featured.

 

* [[Captain Ersatz]] (Believe it or not, Masaki and his Cybuster were ''not'' planned to be in this. The original plan was to include [[Aura Battler Dunbine]], but that fell through for various reasons and Banpresto then came up with four [[Original Generation]] machines: Cybuster, Valsion, Granzon, and the <s> Shurouga</s> Shurouya. Three of these made it, but we're still waiting on the <s>Shurouga</s> Shurouya )

** The Shurouga finally appears in ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]]''

*** But it is ''not'' the same machine as the Shurouya. [[Name's the Same|It's just a similar name]].

* [[Difficulty Spike]] (One scenario forces you to protect your battleship while it's doing its preparation for going into space. [[Mooks]] are coming in; no problem, just send your units to them...until said [[Mooks]] ignore them and go straight for the ship. In fact, [[Oh Crap|they're slaughtering it]]. From this point on, it would be best to start using Spirit Commands)

* [[Fridge Logic]] Several things, mostly related to the [[Negative Continuity]] mentioned below.

* [[Negative Continuity]] ([[Zeta Gundam|The defection of Reccoa Londe and the brainwashing of Four Murasame]] occur in this game. That's fine...until it happens AGAIN in the exact same manner for the [[Super Robot Wars 3|sequel]], and NO ONE mentions that it's happened before.)

* [[Necessarily Evil]] (Bian Zoldark)

* [[Nintendo Hard]] (For starters, no game over trick)

** For the mecha, the Granzon, Valsion and Cybuster

* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|[[Zeta Gundam|Paptimus Scirroco]].}} He tries to screw Bian over, but Shu informs him that Bian knows and has him kicked out of the DC. This is even retained in the sequel)

* [[Wasted Song]] ([[Grendizer]]'s theme is too long for its own good. Thankfully, you can fully listen to it when switching to Grendizer's battle mode)

* [[Xanatos Gambit]] ({{spoiler|Bian states unless the heroes defeat him, they have no chance against the aliens. Sure enough, he's given a beating that ends with him dead, but he intended this was necessary in order for [[The Federation]] to better arm itself and for them to prepare for the impending invasion}})
