Senko no Ronde: Difference between revisions

[[File:senkonoro_poster_9725.jpg|frame]]

 

 

The world itself is a typical anime sci-fi setting in which humans fled earth following a great disaster, and after 1500 years are only now returning to the planet. Much of the story takes place in colonies set up across the solar system. While the Aria Federation acts as a systemwide government, much of the police activity and military work is actually handled by private security organizations run by large corporations such as Goddiver. Many character backgrounds harken to an incident in the past known as the Embassy Occupation Incident, where terrorists took several hundred people hostage, then self-destructed, killing dignitaries, ambassadors, and civilians.

 

 

''Senko no Ronde'' is often compared to ''[[Virtual On]]'', as it has a few similar gameplay elements.

The game has a sequel, ''Senko no Ronde DUO'', with an extended character selection and an expansion of the story, sadly only released in Japan [[No Export for You|with no intentions]] of bringing the sequel overseas.

 

 

* [[After the End]]: Upwards of 1,500 years after the "Great Disaster" drove humans away from earth, to live in space and in colonies on other planets.

** Ernula's Cartridge-B2 outfit has her wearing a bikini that reveals some [[Underboobs|under boobage]] underneath a see-through hoodie complete with [[Zettai Ryouiki|thigh-highs]].

* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]]: The North American and European box-art of the first game, although it only gives the impression the game is all about cold-hearted machines rather than the [[Space Opera]] storyline inspired by ''[[Toward the Terra]]''.

** [[Cool Big Sis|Sakurako Sanjo]] gets pretty angry at anyone who messes with Cuilan.

* [[BFG]]: Orangette's Shell, the Orbital Sword.

** Almost every attack from every Rounder invokes this in some fashion, B.O.S.S. modes [[Up to Eleven|even moreso]], but still pale in comparison to the Story Mode final battles.

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Ernula and Lili.

* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Feltelen "Lili" Levinas, it's hard not to like her meek personality... [[Split Personality|until she snaps]]...

* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|In Lili's Scenario-A ending, she thrusts herself into the core the [[Final Boss]], and after a blinding flash of light, Lili and her Brinsta were never seen or heard from again. After a fruitless, week-long search for her, Mika and Fabian came across an old farewell recording of Lili made a long time ago and revealed that she knew all along about her "other" side. This became a [[Tear Jerker]] moment for Mika and Fabian.}}

** {{spoiler|Thankfully these events are not [[Canon]] as she lives to be in ''Senko no Ronde: Dis-United Order''.}}

* [[Downloadable Content]]: Sadly the first game suffers from the "[[No Export for You]]" rule for North America and Europe, but it ''may'' be possible to use them by obtain the DLCs with Japanese Microsoft Points and a Japanese Xbox Live account to purchase them via the Japanese Xbox Marketplace since the North American and European versions of ''Senko no Ronde'' is region-free..

* [[Fan Nickname]]: "B.O.S.S.," said aloud, doesn't always convey quite what it is. Some players refer to the B.O.S.S. modes as simply as ''Shell''.

* [[Forehead of Doom]]: One of Sakurako's costumes has her holding bangs back by a headset.

** S.S.S. (Triple S) stands for Aria Federation's Special Space Service.

** G.S.O. stands for Goddiver Security Organization.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Cuilan's Orangette.

* [[Guide Dang It]]: The North American and European manual of the first game contain inaccurate command input to perform each Rounders' special attacks. The actual button input for each attack can be found in game's Image Gallery under "Others" in the Extras menu.

** It also doesn't help the Xbox 360 version of ''Senko no Ronde'' lacks any sort of tutorials for playing the game in general that the original arcade game had.

* [[Hair of Gold]], [[Eyes of Gold]]: Ernula.

* [[Hitbox Dissonance]]: ''Senko no Ronde'' is, at its core, a [[Bullet Hell]] game. It would be considerably more difficult if not for this.

** Changpo was also somewhat competitive with her progidy-like piloting skills, which ends up causing trouble for everybody. As she spent time as Sakurako's subordinate, Changpo matured and grew out of this.

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The Rounders, which are "as common as cars". Special military-use Rounders called "Hi-Rounders" require a special licence.

** Fabian Fatman gave himself the nickname of "Fastman" simply because he does not like his surname.

* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Changpo's Citronette.

* [[Rule of Cool]]: There's no justification for B.O.S.S. modes beyond this.

* [[Sequential Boss]]: S.S.S. battleship Basso Serio and Squid both do this. Squid only has two forms, while Basso Serio puts you against the bow gun emplacements, the bridge tower gun emplacements and main cannon, then the jump core defense system. All of this is followed by a battle with another character.

** Changpo's Citronette is named after Takayama Mizuki doujin circle of the same name.

* [[Split Personality]]: Lili due to experimental augmentations. {{spoiler|During her Scenario-A ending, it was revealed that she knew all along about her unstable personality.}}

* [[Team Mom]]: Sakurako, to Changpo and Cuilan.

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Boss unit Squid and some of the gun emplacements on the Basso Serio battleship. Ernula's Curtain Call has one, as well, using its crab-like arms as a [[Wave Motion Tuning Fork]].

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]: Lili.

* [[Zettai Ryouki]]
