Super Robot Wars Alpha/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 64:

* [[Aloof Older Brother]] (Inverted)

* [[Artificial Limbs]] (Lost his left hand during the Vanishing Trooper Incident. At least he fares better than his [[Alternate Universe]] self in the Shadow-Mirror world where {{spoiler|he's dead}})

* [[Badass Normal]] (Almost every member of the SRX team isn't a normal human: Viletta's...well... {{spoiler|an [[Opposite ~~Sex~~ Clone]] of Ingram}}, and the rest are Psychodrivers, but Rai just happens to be ''so'' good, it guarantees him a spot in the SRX)

* [[Badass Normal]] (Almost every member of the SRX team isn't a normal human: Viletta's...well... {{spoiler|an [[Opposite Gender Clone]] of Ingram}}, and the rest are Psychodrivers, but Rai just happens to be ''so'' good, it guarantees him a spot in the SRX)

** It helps he's part of ''Original Generation's'' resident [[Badass Family]].

** {{spoiler|Following Ingram's [[Face Heel Turn]], Rai nearly gets the boot out of the R-2 by [[The Federation]], but he states so long as he's ''on'' the SRX Team, the R-2's his to use}}. Whoo! Talk about [[Badass]]...

Line 176:

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] She might not be able to [[Ghost in the Shell|rip tanks apart with her bare hands]], but she'd probably do it if you give her a [[Humongous Mecha]])

* [[Hartman Hips]] ('''WOW''')

* {{spoiler|[[Opposite ~~Sex~~ Clone]]}} (After [[Divergent Character Evolution]])

* {{spoiler|[[Opposite Gender Clone]]}} (After [[Divergent Character Evolution]])

* [[Psychic Powers]] (Only her ''Alpha'' incarnation is she a Psychodriver. Like Ingram, this gets [[Retcon|dropped in ''Original Generation'']] for reasons unknown)

** Only for storyline reasons; she still has the abilities, but they aren't commented on.

Line 258:

* [[Official Couple]] (''Original Generation''-wise, he and Kusuha are perhaps the [[Beta Couple]])

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]] ([[Justified Trope|In his defense]], Bullet prefers people address him by this name)

* [[Retroactive Recognition]] (After years of [[Sugita Tomokazu]] shaping himself up as the ur-[[Deadpan Snarker]] seiyuu (like [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Kyon]] and [[Gintama]]) and a lot of [[Badass]] roles (like [[~~Blaz Blue~~|Ragna the Bloodedge]]), it'll be a surprise that Bullet is one of Sugita's earlier roles... and he's more or less a meek, occasionally shy everyday guy who's often the [[Butt Monkey]].)

* [[Rocket Punch]] (KoRyuOh's Tiger Knuckle)

* [[Shout-Out]] (One of Bullet's Gespenst Kick lines is the exact opening dialogue of the radio show Tomokazu Sugita co-hosts)

Line 328:

** A bit of [[Mythology Gag]] surrounding this: the Boxer was originally going to be the "R-Sword", a seperate unit like the R-Gun to be used for the SRX since ''Alpha'', but the idea was scrapped because development was nearly complete. The Boxer ended up relegated as a frame for the MK III.

* [[The Blacksmith]] (In ''Original Generations'', the Armorlion's built by Ryoto using his Lion F given by the DC and strengthening it with Gespenst MK II and Alt Eisen spare parts. Additionally, he's one of the head mechanical designers behind the Huckebein MK III)

* [[Captain Ersatz]] (Is viewed as a psuedo-clone of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Shinji Ikari]], except Ryoto [[Took a Level In Badass|takes levels of badass]] in canon and develops the balls to prove it. His karate and mechanical skills seem to come from a mix of [[Zeta Gundam|Kamille Bidan]]; following [[Continuity Reboot]], tidbits of [[Gundam Seed|Kira Yamato]] were thrown in)

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]] (Ryoto's the only male ''Alpha'' protagonist voiced by a woman)

* [[Genius Bruiser]]

Line 338:

* [[Otaku]] (Semi-averted: he doesn't openly flaunt this side of himself as much as Ryusei does)

* [[Super Prototype]] (Due to the Huckebein MK III getting [[Exiled From Continuity]] in ''The Inspectors'', Ryoto gets the exclusive "EXbein", the in-story prototype of the intended MK III that was scrapped by [[The Federation]]. Like the MK III, it can also use the Boxer and Gunner frames)

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]

=== Rio Mei Long (Voiced by [[Rio Natsuki]]) ===

Line 560:

** Also, Arado often yells [[Kamen Rider Kabuto|"Cast Off!"]] when purging the Wurger's Jacket Armor.

* [[Super Soldier]] (Implied throughout ''Original Generation'': due to his conditioning and enhancements from The School, Arado's so outrageously strong he could've overpowered anyone on the Hagane when he was captured. It's more of an [[Informed Ability]], however, as either exceptional or dumb luck's usually the reason why he survived multiple shot downs)

* [[Training ~~From~~ Hell]] (Before they can settle on what proper mech to give him, he had to go through with this. At the same time...)

* [[Training from Hell]] (Before they can settle on what proper mech to give him, he had to go through with this. At the same time...)

** [[Ace Pilot]] (His usual antics of rushing head-on places him in the "Steamroller" type)

Line 619:

The male [[Super Robot]] hero of Alpha 3. Former delivery boy, with a minor Karate background, when delivering supplies to the Tomine Lab, it comes under attack. Current lab head [[Hot Scientist|Minaki Tomine]] urges him to save the lab using the RaiOh, the third Dynamic General Guardian. Touma luckily manages to somehow pilot it to kick ass thanks to his karate skills and the fact he's riding a [[Motion Capture Mecha]]. He finds himself entangled with the final stages of the Balmar War and gains a rivalry with [[Boisterous Bruiser|Baran Doban]], but along the way, lots and lots of combat pros, martial artists and even cyborgs, and Sanger Zonvolt himself, teaches and hones his skills, and he [[Took a Level In Badass|takes OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND levels in badass]].

Touma cameoes in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', but has yet to meet his machine, though he gets himself in trouble when Shura General Magnaz Ald (who ironically happens to have the same voice actor as Baran) harasses him for being too defiant on his beliefs. He's saved by Kouta Azuma and vanishes, but he'll be back for sure, with his shiny mecha. Touma and the RaiOh/DaiRaiOh exemplify these tropes:

Line 641:

** Another case of [[Memetic Mutation|real men riding each other]], then?

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]] (Is it RaiOh or LIOH, after its control system?)

* [[Took a Level In Badass]] (And then some)

* [[Took a Level in Badass]] (And then some)

* [[Training ~~From~~ Hell]] (He has [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|Tetsuya]] [[Mazinger Z|Tsurugi]] as a teacher and one part of his training basically amounted to "getting punched by everyone in the Alpha Numbers")

* [[Training from Hell]] (He has [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|Tetsuya]] [[Mazinger Z|Tsurugi]] as a teacher and one part of his training basically amounted to "getting punched by everyone in the Alpha Numbers")
