Super Robot Wars Z/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* The game itself is considered one for:

## Turning the events of [[Gundam Seed Destiny]] into something believable and justified.

## Delivering the {{spoiler|ZEUTH vs ZEUTH}} scenario, which is built up for the entire first act of Z, while making the scenario completely controllable by the player (resulting in a very high [[HSQ]] when the player realizes this is ''actually going to happen'' '''and''' ''it's fully playable'').

 

== Super Robot Wars Z 2.1 Hakai-Hen ==

 

* Asakim spends the first half of the game trying to do to Crow what he did to Setsuko and Rand. Before he gets the chance, [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Amuro]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8qQ1kCfyEk who was just teleported to the Z2 universe shows up and shoots the Shuroga in the face], screwing over Asakim's plan to betray Crow right there. {{spoiler|That doesn't mean things don't go his way in the end, however.}}

* [[Daitarn 3|Haran Banjou]], with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lzW2zP71E his heartfelt declaration that he would never forgive anyone who would steal the sun from the people], becomes the only member of ZEXIS to succeed in ''frightening'' [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Lordgenome]].

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWEjf2TvO_s A crowning moment that has to be seen:] Dancouga Nova is suddenly attacked from behind by two monsters. In that very moment, [[Dancougar|Shinobu and Final Dancouga arrive and intervene]], instantly killing the two monsters and giving their enemy target a demonstration of the Dan-Cou-Ken slash. Bonus points for being only Shinobu and for the excellent animation.

* Simon and the Getter Team getting their [[Mid-Season Upgrade|midseason upgrades]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp0XKOR5xR4 Scenario 40]. This event also allows Mushashi the chance to pilot Shin-Getter 3, which is in itself a moment of awesome for both Musashi and Banpresto as this has never happened in the 20 years of the franchise.

* In one of the early stages, Setsuna in the broken down Gundam Exia goes up against multiple A-LAWs and Suzaku on his own. After Suzaku critically disables the Exia, things look bleak until ZEXIS shows up, and Setsuna relaunches in the brand new 00 Gundam. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C9WGVMG8l8 Poor Spinzaku has nothing on the Twin Drive]...

* Lelouch gets one on his own, not as Zero, but as normal student Lelouch. Terrorists have a large portion of the student body held hostage, during the Couple Event along with Lelouch. What does he do? Distracts them long enough for everyone to get away, leaving him alone with a bunch of angry terrorists. Then he gets saved when several members of ZEXIS burst in from the window.

* {{spoiler|1=Carlos Axion, Jr. taking it upon himself to seal a ZONE with a new device invented by Traiya, despite not having a Sphere or being a combat pilot.}}

* Elgan Laudic gets another one: <ref>since he is the Z2 universe's version of The Edel, he fears that he may lose control like his Z1 counterpart did upon learning about the Black Knowledge, placed a clause in the Federation's charter when he was the Secretary General of the United Nations. That clause? No matter what the Federation does, ZEXIS will have supreme authority to police the Earth if it is reformed. Not even the A-Laws or OZ can overrule this clause either. And he did this while being manipulated by Ribbons Almark.</ref>

** The IF route version is even better. Nia's gonna drop the moon, but then Holland (who's been absent all game) shows up. Not much help but hey every little bit counts, except Holland can't even finish his big damn heroes speech before Suzaku's buddies Gino and Anya show up on the other side of the map, deciding they'll stick with their friend after all. Then Ozma Lee and Luca appear in yet another corner of the map, finally catching up the Frontier fleet after their adventures looking for Space Whales. Awesome. Now the whole gangs back toget....wait... {{spoiler|is that a Dragon coming through space time? Yep. Shin Dragon arrives with Rand and Setsuko in tow.}} That's 4 simultaneous [[Big Damn Heroes]] at once, which is probably a new record for SRW.

* (Believe it or not, [[Genesis of Aquarion|Gen Fudou]] and [[Gravion|Klein Sandman]] are made [[Up to Eleven|even more awesome than they already were]], especially for Fudou, who reaches [[Memetic Badass]] levels. For the original characters, Rand seems to be this if one considers his approach to solving problems combined with him being an out-and-out [[Badass Normal]])

** Elgan Laudic, the Secretary-General of the United Nations. {{spoiler|1=In ''Hakai-Hen'', he is revealed to be "Portman", the informant who has been supplying Dragon's Hive and Celestial Being with secret intelligence and information about what is going on in the world. In addition, right after Shin Getter awakens, Elgan essentially ambushes Cohen and Stinger in their office in New York and flat out murders them (they come back from the dead thanks to the powers of the Invaders). He then later tries the same thing on Gaioh, but fails. Then comes ''Sasai-Hen'', where it is revealed that Elgan inserted a clause in the Earth Federation's charter while being drugged and under Ribbons Almark's control that gives ZEXIS absolute police authority over the Earth Sphere should it be reformed, overriding both the A-Laws and the Organization of the Zodiac rights to that duty. Then, he manages to return control of VEDA back to Celestial Being from Ribbons as well as disclose the truth about the Black Knowledge (and revealing he is the Z2 version of The Edel Bernal) to ZEXIS after having been fatally shot by Ribbons.}}
