* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] (King Gainer defeating the Overdevil with the help of the Gaiking)
** After the fiasco with ''SEED Destiny'', Cagalli returns to piloting in K. Banpresto decided to make her first mission one that's simply plain awesome on principle: taking on the [[Fafner in The Azure Dead Aggressor|Festum]] in an outdated, underpowered Strike Rouge becomes a lot more badass when you realize those things can alter gravity, create black holes at will, read your mind, and pretty much EVERY canon pilot who had a chance against them had been genetically modified. If there was ''any'' enemy for Cagalli to take a swing at to show she hadn't lost anything, ''this'' was the one)
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUU93LvIL3c EDAX], the song played if the player is fighting against any Edax general and the [[Big Bad]])
** Let alone [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mld2IxYXgt0 Astral Burst], the music that plays during the original's [[Mid -Season Upgrade]]'s final attacks
* [[Game Breaker]] (Interestingly, you get a LOT of them, such as the ''SEED Destiny'' Gundams, Dann, both Jeegs, King Gainer, Gaiking, etc. Unfortunately, given the game's difficulty, this still means most levels are uphill battles)
** Parts-wise, the Orgone Cloud, which grants a level 3 barrier, double-image ability, ignore terrain penalties and a level 1 energy recovery. You can only get one by either inserting a ''[[Super Robot Wars Judgment]]'' cartridge or through the shop on your 5th playthrough, and boy, is it worth the hassle of getting it.
** The Multicombo system in K is a [[Game Breaker]] in general. With the combo skill at level 3, it lets any unit attack up to six enemies at once while bypass enemy support defense entirely. They are essentially short range MAP attacks, except without all the usual drawbacks of a MAP weapon like low ammo or reduced experience gain or allies not getting any will gains from your kills, so you are free to spam them to your heart's content right from the first turn.
* [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]] (''SEED Destiny'': not only is Kira more reasonable (and doesn't attack your team on sight, but agrees to join them) and Cagalli's [[Chickification]] completely nullified, but the game goes out of its way to make [[The Scrappy|Yuuna]] [[Romantic False Lead|Roma]] [[Butt Monkey|Seinan]] a bit less of a coward and more caring towards Cagalli, to the point where {{spoiler|he acknowledges his faults and steps aside when Cagalli forcibly takes command of Orb. Yuuna actually manages to LIVE through everything, on top of this.}})
** The same can't really be said for the ZAFT characters, though (with the exception of Athrun and maybe Heine Westenfluss)
* [[The Scrappy]]: Mist Rex is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, '''''THE''''' most hated ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' protagonist ever (and the second-most hated character period, just after [[The Neidermeyer|Lee Linjun]] (or third, after [[Big Bad Wannabe|Wilhelm von Juergen]]). He spends most of the game complaining about how much better than Earth his homeworld is, and he acts like an asshole to the anime characters over their character flaws (berating [[Shinkon Gattai Godannar|Go]] for his women troubles, telling [[Gun X Sword|Van]] to get over his bride-to-be's death, insulting [[Gundam Seed Destiny|Kira's]] idealistic pacifism, and denigrating inexperienced pilots like [[Overman King Gainer|Gainer]], [[Zoids|Ryuji]], and [[Gaiking|Daiya]]). The ultimate expression of this is his reaction to the ending as a fun adventure, completely glossing over {{spoiler|[[Fafner in The Azure Dead Aggressor|Soushi's]]}} death. Who, mind you, {{spoiler|sacrificed himself to ultimately destroy the [[Eldritch Abomination]] that was ''RESPONSIBLE FOR MIST'S HOME WORLD GETTING DESTROYED''}}. Made worse by the fact that a lot of his attitude is [[Hypocrite|hypocritical]], such as one ending putting him in a harem situation after insulting Go for the very same, or some instances where he recklessly charges at Edax forces and gets his ass handed to him...after berating other people for doing just that. Japan has a fandom [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] involving photoshoping Mist and his mecha into later ''SRW'' games to screw with other fans.
* [[Scrappy Mechanic]] (Many players consider the Partner Battle System to be useless, especially later on in the game when many standard [[Mook|mooks]] have access to the [[Game Breaker|Combo Attack]]. Partnering two units also prevents either from using Combo Attacks, further discouraging its use)
** Those who ''do'' want to try the Partner Battle System will find it does have some uses, such as always having mechs in range of each other to combine or use Combination Attacks. It's a question of weighing up the benefits of these vs. being able to use a Combo Attack)
Line 18:
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|They Wasted A Perfectly Good Appearance]] (Despite ''Godannar'''s "proper" SRW debut, units like the Goddinner, Genesister and Volspinner do not make an appearance, let alone even be mentioned in ''K'')
** Their pilots ''do'' make appearances in some cutscenes though; just not their machines
** Don't forget Koutetsu Jeeg's various frames. One of them had ''[[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|drill legs]]''!
** Despite the changes to its storyline, ''SEED Destiny'' still got the short end of the stick in several areas. So what if the Minerva's {{spoiler|Captain Talia Gladys dies in the game}}? Let the players use it instead of the Archangel, for a change
** Also, Sky Buster Gaiking doesn't appear, despite the individual forms appearing as [[Combination Attack|Combination Attacks]]
Line 24:
* [[Tough Act to Follow]]: Between the various issues and the fact that ''K'' followed the fan-favorite ''[[Super Robot Wars W|W]]'', this was inevitable.
