[anthurak]

Since the announcement for Super Robot Wars Y, I’ve seen a bit of confused eyebrow-raising at the apparent absence of any Universal Century Gundam shows in the roster, and so far the only Gundam series’ included apparently just being Mobile Fighter G-Gundam and Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. And I had an interesting thought on that:

What if we actually DON’T get any UC Gundam shows in SRW Y because the writers are specifically building a shared narrative for this game around the idea of Earth as abandoned, left behind and exploited by those in the space colonies above?

As a lot of people have pointed out, both G-Gundam and G-Witch actually both share this rather notable flip on the otherwise pretty standard Gundam trope of ‘Space colonies rebelling against the established power of Earth’. In G-Gundam, Earth and its remaining people have been largely abandoned by those in the colonies and has been devastated by decades of being used as the battleground for the Gundam Fights. And in G-Witch, Earth has become the underclass backwater exploited for labor and resources by those in the colonies like the Benerit Group.

What if the reason we’re not seeing any UC Gundam series’ in SRW Y’s roster so far is because basically NONE of their stories really WORK with this background? Like you can’t exactly square Zeta Gundam’s ‘Earth is oppressing the colonies’ narrative with G-Witch’s ‘the colonies are oppressing Earth’ narrative, now can you? And the same goes really MOST other Gundam series’ as well, Wing, SEED*, 00, etc. About the only other Gundam series I could see working here is After War Gundam X, since that show is similarly built around the idea of an Earth that has been devastated by war.

And this is made more interesting when we look at some of the other shows announced for SRW Y, and find they also potentially fit rather nicely into this shared narrative.

Getter Robo Arc is set at the end of the Getter Robo timeline, taking place after years of fighting against the Dinosaur Empire and other threats to humanity, which certainly provides something else to have ravaged the Earth.

And Macross Delta’s inclusion actually potentially fits perfectly into this narrative, as that brings with it the shared Macross backstory of Earth having been devastated by the war with the Zentradi.

Even the inclusion of Aura Battler Dunbine could potentially fit into this narrative, since that series has its character being summoned to another world isekai-style. Meaning that there can be some interesting potential of the fantastical world of Byston Well being used to contrast the devastated and ravaged Earth.

Also, a Super Robot Wars game not including any UC Gundam shows, or having just two Gundam entries in its roster is hardly a new thing either. Super Robot Wars UX, L, Neo, K, even the very well-regarded and fan-favorite J and W (a personal favorite of mine as well) all likewise featured no UC Gundam shows, and most only featured a couple Gundam entries at all.

In fact, considering that the last SRW entry, Super Robot Wars 30 was rather notable for including ONLY Gundam entries set in the Universal Century (outside of DLC anyway), it actually feels a bit fitting that the next entry would feature no UC Gundam shows at all.

*Though funny enough, I could see the new Gundam SEED Freedom movie working in this setting, assuming some pretty major tweaks. That movie is also set after multiple devastating wars and treats most of Earth outside of two small nations as basically an afterthought, with most of the power at this point clearly being held by the colonies, so I think you could make the setting work. Compass in turn could be made into one of multiple ‘peacekeeping’ organizations working with/for the Space Assembly League similar to Cathedra and their Domincus corp. Which would basically necessitate making Kira ‘Jesus’ Yamato and all his friends a LOT more morally ambiguous/complicated in likely a ‘wait, are we the bad guys?’ way. Which I think we can all agree would be pretty fun XD

Would you like all 24 E-100 units to appear at some point throughout Sonic's lore?

-Yes, we need more robot characters.

-Yes, but only to fill plot gaps or background characters.

-No, it's not important to the story.

-No, people will just confuse them like with Gamma and Omega.

Thanks @mildcharacterenjoyer ! Polls for the Sonic fandom on just about anything. Share polls you like to get more data. Asks and submissions always open.

Why Less is More when it comes to mech-series casts in SRW

One of the interesting things I’m sure most people have noticed about the series roster for Super Robot Wars Y so far is just how small it is compared to other entries in the franchise. At just eight entries, it’s a full half the roster of Super Robot Wars 30, and that’s with specifically omitting 30’s titles that were just adding a specific mech or two (like how the original Mobile Suit Gundam is represented only by the RX-78 being an available mech for a post-CCA Amuro to pilot), the various crossover appearances of previous SRW Original Generation characters added in free updates, or the shows added via DLC and Expansions. If we include 30’s full roster, then Y’s entries so far don’t even hit a FIFTH of that.

Now obviously it sounds like we’re getting at least a few more entries in Y in addition to what’s been announced at the moment. But again, we would need to get double the number of shows announced so far before Y got to only just as many entries as 30 had.

And that’s not accounting for how at least some of those additional titles are almost certainly likewise going to be ‘mech only’ entries, like how we might get Macross 7 or Macross Frontier making an appearance just in the form of unlockable units. Or specific spinoffs of the already included shows that will take the form of additional characters and mechs to flesh out the roster but not really add additional story points. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if Code Geass’s entry was expanded from just Lelouch of the Resurrection to include Akito the Exiled and Oz the Reflection in the form of ‘Post-Series’ versions of those characters.

As an aside, I feel like there is a VERY good chance that we see both Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture and Macross Delta: ABSOLUTE LIVE as post-release DLC/Expansion content, in a similar vein to how 30’s expansions included a fair bit of continued story content following up from the base game.

What all this means is that I think it’s very likely that Super Robot Wars Y ends up having a roster of included mecha series a fair bit smaller than what we’ve seen in more recent SRW titles. Notably, even 30 had a slightly smaller roster than any entries in the proceeding ‘VTX Trilogy’ of games (16 compared to 18 or 19), and certainly much smaller than the absolutely LUDICROUS rosters of the Z series of games. Rather, Y may likely end up having a roster more around the size of the older handheld entries like J, W, K or L.

And you know, I think that might actually be a GOOD thing.

Because here’s where I talk about (part of) why Super Robot Wars W is one of my all time favorite entries in the franchise.

When it comes to story, writing and ‘universe blending’, basically everyone can agree that W is one of, if not THE best Super Robot Wars entry out there. It does a frankly incredible job of weaving multiple different mecha shows into an amazingly cohesive story that at many times even improves on some of the individual narratives. I means I could probably do a whole separate post on how W essentially builds an entirely separate PREQUEL show for Detonator Orgun that kind of completely changes who the real main character of that show is (if anyone wants that post, let me know XD).

Not only that, but W’s roster of shows are incredibly well fleshed out in terms of story, characters and mechs that appear in ways we RARELY ever see in other SRW games. Like other games will often really flesh out something like a third to half of their included shows while the rest are just sort of… there. Usually in the form of ‘their story already happened’. But W’s included shows get basically the FULL adaptation treatment pretty much across the board.

Like Super Robot Wars W adapts basically the ENTIRE stories of Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED Astray (along with both Astray R and X Astray), Detonator Orgun (plus making a whole-ass prequel), Tekkaman Blade (both show and OVA), Mazinkaiser (OVA and Movie), GaoGaiGar (show and OVA), King of Beasts Golion (aka Voltron), Fullmetal Panic! (both the first anime and The Second Raid, plus bits of Fumoffu), AND Martian Successor Nadesico (both series and movie), all with surprisingly little cut out into terms of major narrative or character beats. And the bits that ARE cut usually take the form of ‘we’re NOT killing this character off and letting them stick around as a continued presence in the story’. I mean, not only does W not kill of Nadesico’s Gai Gaigouji, they have him stick around for the rest of the story, even into the Prince of Darkness movie complete with his own unique character model and custom Aestivalis!

The same goes for the included mech-roster for all these shows, which are frankly MASSIVE compared to other SRW games. I mean just look at the Playable Unit List for this game! It’s pretty much a given that most shows in an SRW game will see at least some of their lesser known mechs cut. But in W, basically the FULL mech roster from EVERY included series is available! Just to give an example, W is the ONLY Super Robot Wars game to feature the ENTIRE cast/mech-roster of GaoGaiGar through to the end of GGG FINAL. Alpha 3 had to cut Furyu and Rairyu, and later GaoGaiGar appearances haven’t included FINAL. But in W, by the end of the game the gang really is ALL here.

And the whole REASON W was able to do all this?

Well, because it happens to have just about the SMALLEST mecha-series cast list of any SRW game made in the last twenty-five years.

When you get down to it, Super Robot Wars W really only has NINE mecha-series’ in it. Technically ten, but Getter Robo Go is literally just the Shin Getter and pilots post-series who are effectively made part of the Mazinkaiser cast.

So if Super Robot Wars Y ends up having just nine, ten or eleven shows in its cast, I think that could likely end up being a GOOD thing. Because it most likely means that the production team will have been able to do so much MORE with those shows in terms of story, characters and playable mechs.

New Super Robot Wars!!

...I really need to getting around to finishing SRW 30...

Excited for Macross, Dunbine, G-Gundam, and Witch from Mercury. Guess there haven't been any big Mazinger Z projects for a while, they've got Gundam and Getter as the other two of SRW's big three but not that. I like how the OC mecha looks less Gundam-y than the Huckebein.

Is Majestic Prince really popular? They played a big role in 30 and now they're one of the first announced for the next one too...

The three genders.

[0rionslay]

heres a new character i made! her name is delta-s-107, but people just call her delta, she scans for signals from space and processes them!

( thank you @bugtrotter for giving me the idea for this character!)
