Line 27:
** In ''Alpha 1'' Asuka gets to beat the crap out of the Titans, and when the MP EVA's show up, Londo Bell gets a kickass [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment where they proceed to utterly [[Curb Stomp Battle]] the final EVA enemy, ''with Shinji Ikari leading the charge!''.
** In ''Alpha 3'', the moment belongs to Shinji Ikari again. When the events of End of Evangelion play out, we get to the point where {{spoiler|humanity is melting into goo}}, but instead of going screamingly insane, Shinji gets ''royally pissed off'', marches down to [[Elaborate Underground Base|Terminal Dogma]] and gives his father a piece of his mind. And by "piece of his mind", this troper means a "robot-sized katana to the face".
*** The whole level is pretty much a Crowning Moment of Awesome for the Alpha Numbers (protagonist group in the Alpha games), as they're effectively <s>kicking</s> ''[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|Bright Slapping]]'' the crap out of the merged Shinji/Eva Unit-01/MP Evas + Tree of Life, also known as [[God]]. This is while, by all rights, they ''ought'' to be melting into LCL, but they're just too damn [[Hot Blooded]] to turn into goo.
** After watching End of Evangelion and seeing how nigh indestructible and horrific the MP Evas were, who doesn't get satisfaction out of seeing them in a SRW game get utterly ripped to shreds by Mazinkaiser's Fire Blaster, Shin Getter's Shin Spark, SRX's Buster Cannon, [[Gao Gai Gar]]'s Goldion Hammer, Sanger's Zankantou etc.
Line 34:
*** For the record, only the Evangelion people and the captain himself are truly surprised. Everyone else just puts another notch onto the leaderboard, under ''Bright Noah''.
** From the second game, Ibis has an amazing one, when a major villain from [[Mobile Suit Gundam]] strafes the party with his exceptionally powerful and large Mobile Armor...and then proceeds to get his ass kicked by her when she appears in her transforming fighter and strafes the hell out of his Mobile Armor.
*** Hell, she has a lot more. Ibis going through massive [[Character Development]] right before her [[Mid
* Musashi's Back-from-the-dead moment in [[Super Robot Wars]] Alpha 3, wherein he finds a way, depite being ''[[Death Is Cheap|dead]]'' to reactivate Shin [[Getter Robo]] when it was obvious that the Getter crew needed it.
Line 47:
* In ''SRW Alpha Gaiden'', after the group is {{spoiler|sent to the future}}, Sayaka and Musashi are MIA for a long while. It's finally revealed they are being held hostage by [[Great Mazinger|Archduke Gorgon]], at which point he desires to use them as human shields. Banjou Haran from Daitarn 3 coldly and honestly declares he doesn't care how many people he'll have to kill, he won't let Gorgon live in this world anymore. His delivery is so bitter and cold Gorgon ''backs down'' and hands over Sayaka, Musashi and Daitarn's support crew, no strings attached. ''Utterly amazing''.
** While we're on a Mazinger note, Space Route Mission 36 (Shin Getter Robo, Stolen!): Kouji Kabuto <s>[[Memetic Mutation|dies in lava]]</s> convinces the Eisia excavation team to escape as part of his plan...then reveals to Gorgon that the plan's entirety was them escaping and him acting as their shield. Cue [[Bolivian Army Ending]]...of the first half. Then Tetsuya [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|Rocket Slaps]] him back to reason after freeing him from a Mechasaurus horde, and Mazinkaiser ensues.
* In the ''Alpha 3'' manga, after the heroes defeat the [[Big Bad]], they're confronted by [[Smug Snake|Son Ganlong]]. To defeat him, the Ide calls in all the rest of the heroes from the three previous games that didn't make it into the last one. This results in the largest Giant Robot beatdowns in fictional history. Up to, and ''including'', '''''Two'' Sanger Zonvolts'''.

* [[Justice Gundam|This troper]] considers Missions 49 (Nadesico side) and 50 in ''[[Super Robot Wars|Super Robot Taisen]] J'' to be [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for... well, pretty much the whole team! In the first case, the team has to face both the [[Mazinger Z|Mikene Empire]], generals and Ankoku Daishogun included, AND the Reclaimers from ''Brain Powerd'' all at the same time. All this while Orphan is shooting up through the atmosphere, minutes away from [[The End of the World As We Know It|extinguishing all life on Earth]]. Thanks mainly to Kouji's Mazinkaiser and to Yuu and Hime's Brains, {{spoiler|the team puts up an epic battle and destroys the Mikene generals, kills Ankoku Daishogun itself, gives both [[Smug Snake|Jonathan]] and [[Dark Action Girl|Quincy]] a much-deserved butt-kicking... and tops it off with a [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] moment by actually defeating the unimaginably powerful Hyper Baronz piloted by Baron Maximillian, [[Love Makes You Evil|actually Jonathan's crazed mother who didn't care that she was committing genocide as long as she could make her son's objectives come true]]. For the record, Yuu and Hime did ''not'' defeat the Hyper Baronz in the ''Brain Powerd'' anime, as it was [[Nigh Invulnerable|far too powerful]] for ''anyone'' to handle, and had to resort to simply holding out until Baron's life force was totally spent. True, Hime scored a few hits on the thing, but still...}}
** In Mission 50, the team takes on the remnants of the Jovian and Grados Empires as they're trying to take possession of [[Wave Motion Gun|the Genesis]] superweapon from ''[[Gundam Seed|Gundam SEED]]''. They end up going against a whole armada of powerful robots, AND taking on some of the most annoying - and POWERFUL! - bosses in the game (among which the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Quirky But Deadly Death Oni Squad]] and the [[Ax Crazy|insane serial killer Gostello]] from ''SPT Layzner'') while desperately trying to make it to Genesis in time to stop it from firing and destroying Earth. By the time the mission is over, {{spoiler|the team has not only destroyed Genesis and saved the day, but has managed to kill not one, not two... but THREE [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] from three different Real Robot animes: the evil [[Smug Snake|prince Ru Kain]] of ''Layzner'' in his frighteningly powerful Zakarl, [[Knight Templar|Haruki Kusakabe]] of ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico|Nadesico]]'' AND [[Omnicidal Maniac|Rau Le Creuset]] of ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' in his Providence Gundam. The fact that one of these villains is a shameless [[Karma Houdini]] in the anime he comes from only makes it all the more satisfying, and had [[Justice Gundam|this troper]] almost immediately promote this game to his favourite SRW episode for hand-helds.}}
Line 141:
** Stage 15 (Berlin route), Stellar is rampaging in Destroy Gundam as of original. Shinn tries to stop her just as ''Archangel'' arrives, and just when what the anime showed is about to repeat, {{spoiler|Kira instead ''helps'' Shinn to bring Stellar away for safety}}. {{spoiler|Dereka's words to Shinn about Kira's moral of saving lives}} before this stage helped.
** As such in Stage 16, realizing the Archangel crew helped to beat up [[Iczer]] enemies, {{spoiler|Talia helps Murrue to escape by faking the sink of ''Archangel''}}. After that Arthun officially leaves Minerva for Archangel, leaving the rest to Shinn for he is another FAITH on board.
** Stage 27, after LOTUS and ''Archangel'' crew retun to Orb to beat up Orb-Earth Federation forces, [[Original Generation|Original forces led by an Imperial Valley]] appear {{spoiler|and beat up ''Kira in his Strike Freedom'' pretty bad}}. Just as the Imperial Valley is about to land a fatal blow, {{spoiler|''Shinn'' steps in and smacks the enemy away, and [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|yells at Kira to recall his will of protecting everyone in the world]]}}. Cue [[Combination Attack]] to destroy Imperial Valley. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuwIH1CsIjY It's just as awesome as it seems.]
*** Another awesome moment for {{spoiler|Shinn and his Destiny}} albeit Meta sense: {{spoiler|Strike Freedom has one of the best mobility among all ''Destiny'' Mobile Suits, yet an Imperial Valley is technically '''much more mobile''' than any unit in the game, allowing the pilot to beat up Kira}}. {{spoiler|Shinn is able to keep up with that machine and smacks it}}? Think about it for a moment.
**** While the Strike Freedom is highly vaunted for its mobility, the Destiny is actually superior in that if not speed at least as it doesn't need to deploy dragoons to use its wings of light and Shinn's own style is better suited for rushing in.
Line 212:
{{quote| '''''SHOUT NOW!!'''''}}
** Earlier, Rai and Latooni are trying to evacuate Shine when they run into Archibald and his Bioroid [[Elite Mooks]]. They're cornered... and then Gilliam tosses smoke grenades to cover their exit, and leads them to a balcony, revealing that he was snooping around because he [[Genre Savvy|suspected this would happen]]. Archibald and his forces smugly corner them... and Gilliam calmly smirks, tells Shine's party not to worry, and jumps off the balcony... into the arms of his Gespenst Type-R, turning the tables on Archibald, who's shocked that Gilliam was [[Crazy Prepared]] enough to hide a PT right under everyone's noses. For bonus style points, Gilliam is rocking the [[Sharp Dressed Man]] and [[Badass Longcoat]] looks, and his Gespenst showing up is a shoutout to how he used to show up and ruin the heroes days when he was an enemy Boss.
* Episode 8: Ryoto, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|*ahem*]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQCvVzKxeEs&feature=sub docks with Rio with his Boxer(s) still on]
* Episode 9 has two standouts: first, Ratsel's [[Big Damn Heroes]] with Trombe override, dominating Vigagi. Second, the launch of the Astelion.
* Episode 10: Royal Heart Breaker. FULL STOP.
Line 222:
** After Filio finishes Dygenguar's OS , Sangar manages to stop Galgau's Claw attack by ''grabbing it'', then ''kicks'' the larger Galgau away.
** After re-acquiring the Zankantou, he uses it to block Galgau's Breast Cannon attack.
** Then, after cutting off Galgau's tail, Sangar unleashes the ''Unyou no Tachi'' (combined with the usual Kiai and Hotbloodness) and...damages its energy reactor like in the games? ''Hell no, [[One
** [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|And what does episode 15 mean!?]]
*** ...which technically counts as a Moment of Awesome for Crunchyroll, seeing as how that little bit wasn't in the episode's actual dialogue.
