Super Robot Wars Compact 2/Characters: Difference between revisions

== Kyosuke Nanbu (Voiced by [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]]) ==

[[File:kyosuke.jpg|frame|You'll be seeing him and his derivatives...'''[[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|A LOT]]'''.]]

 

Debuts in the lowly ''Compact 2'', but [[Breakout Character|proved popular enough]] his game gets updated into ''Impact'' and becomes another protagonist for the first ''Original Generation'', though his route becomes [[Canon Discontinuity|non-canon]] (the second half of it, anyways). Kyosuke's [[The Stoic|grumpy]] with a bad life-or-death gambling habit and takes war rather seriously. His partner's the extremely cheery [[Ms. Fanservice|Excellen]] [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl|Browning]], which somehow makes up a good foil for his stoicism, for a good reason: without her, he may as well become ''too'' grumpy like his [[Evil Twin]] [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation/Characters|Beowulf]] in the [[Super Robot Wars Advance|Shadow-Mirror universe]]. He also has a rather [[Born Lucky|unnatural luck]]: in the past, he was one of two shuttle crash survivors, coming out with just minor scratches and bruises. While usually calm, he has a [[Berserk Button]]: go ahead and endanger his woman, and he becomes a [[Determinator]] with a dangerous [[Tranquil Fury]].

** [[I Like Those Odds]], [[Million-to-One Chance]], [[The Gambler]] (No matter how stacked the odds are, he "[[Catch Phrase|doesn't mind betting on them]]")

** [[Lampshaded]] after he survived the Wildraubtier transformation failure:

* [[Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl]]

* [[Calling Your Attacks]] (Usually averted, due to him playing [[The Stoic]]. Maybe that's why Banpresto forced him to go [[Hot-Blooded]] when he's put into the Gespenst MK II Type-S)

* [[Combination Attack]] (Rampage Ghost)

* '''''[[Determinator]]''''' (He practically runs on this. Sanger once described Kyosuke as "a man who will charge headfirst into danger and always find a way to win, no matter how bad the odds.")

** [[Determined Expression]] (Pretty much his default character portrait)

* [[Evil Twin]] ([http://gallery.gt-forum.com/d/5716-1/Beowulf.jpg Beowulf])

* [[Tranquil Fury]] (What will befall on those who piss him off)

** Kyosuke's a master of this trope. He '''never''' looses his composure when his [[Berserk Button|buttons]] are pressed and always stays focused on the task at hand; hell, he just becomes ''more'' determined to beat the crap out of the stupid bastard who pushed those buttons in the first place. A good example comes from ''Original Generation'' after a Federation officer turns traitor and abducts {{spoiler|[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation/Characters|Princess Shine Hausen]]}}, then flees while a large enemy force attacks the heroes' base. Kyosuke orders his allies to focus on dealing with the more immediate threat rather than chase the kidnappers, prompting this exchange:

'''Excellen''': "Not really. Kyosuke's bad about holding a grudge."<br />

'''Kyosuke''': "We'll settle this later {{spoiler|Hans}}. ''My way.''"<br />

*** Later, Excellen remarks that she feels sorry for the traitor because "He made Kyosuke mad."

** Of course, the best example would have to be during the famous [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QiJBTaX7mM Scenario 35 event], when {{spoiler|Ingram}} ''purposely'' goes out of his way to taunt him. Kyosuke, when confronted with {{spoiler|Excellen, [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] by Ingram}}, goads Kyosuke to attack him. He responds by saying "I see", then calmly gives orders to immobilize her mech; he even [[Witty Banter|exchanges a few jokes with Sanger]]. What follows is this:

'''Ryusei''': "No. I've never seen him this angry before." }}

*** Kyosuke then [[Heroic Resolve|silently powers himself up]] [[Implacable Man|with every possible buff in the game]], prompting {{spoiler|Ingram}} to note that [[This Is Gonna Suck|it worked a little TOO well]]. The battle doesn't last much longer after that.

== Excellen Browning (Voiced by [[Yuko Mizutani]]) ==

[[File:excellen.jpg|frame|I have a [[Playboy Bunny|bunny suit]] in my stash. ["The Tease|Wanna see me in it?"]]]

 

This...err...''extremely'' cheery [[Ms. Fanservice]] is partner and complement to Kyosuke, and his girlfriend to boot. Majorly flirty, loves to tease, [[Bottle Fairy|can handle her alcohol good]] but still loyal to her boyfriend. She's not an [[Otaku]] but has a hint of geekiness intact - she makes some [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] by herself. She also pretty much loves acting like a [[Cool Big Sis]] towards anyone younger than her. She's in fact {{spoiler|[[Half-Human Hybrid|80% Einst]], because she was involved in a shuttle accident with Kyosuke, but didn't survive, if only the Einst hadn't interfered and saved her life}}. She also plays the [[Distressed Damsel]] role several times: first by {{spoiler|Ingram}} (now [[Canon Discontinuity|discontinued]]), then the Einsts. She befriends [[Robot Girl]] Lamia Loveless and showcases her traits as a [[Cool Big Sis]] towards her, making Lamia call her ''Ex-oneesama'' or ''Miss Excell'' (or maybe since Lamia's so clueless about human personality at the time, she accepts that kind of nickname). Thus far, she has two [[Cloning Blues|clones]]: Einst-girl Alfimi and {{spoiler|Lamia's mistress Lemon Browning (although Lemon's more along the lines of Excellen's [[Alternate Universe]] self)}}.
