>>3646 Mazinkaiser's OP sequence with audio.

>>3651 DON'T WANNA KNOW WHY, EVERYBODY READY GET IT ON Probably the most exciting Mazinger OP, that, The Guardian, Z's second opening, and Great's will do it for me

Thoughts on Mazinkaiser vs Ankoku Daishogun being in SRW Y?

>>3658 >no Z >locked out of getting Mazinkaiser until the last 1-2 stages >have to possibly bail out Tetsuya and the Great if they're even playable, all the other supporters would fare deeply worse, albeit spared from their original fates I feel it would legitimately be a bad idea unless they maybe tie it together with something else, but it's also my least-favourite entry in the franchise

>>3664 > it's also my least-favourite entry in the franchise Favoring it less than even Grendizer U?

>>3665 I still haven't watched the last episode, but I don't know if it's appropriate or not to consider that disappointment as family, I had such high hopes for Grendizer U. Also I don't despise the movie, it has a small handful of good bits, like Great doing rather well and Ankoku existing

>>3664 I mean whenever they've done the movie before, its been an addon to the OVA that gets introduced and wrapped up in 1-2 stages. Seems like it's usually just there as an excuse to have the Mazin Kenzan song. They already showed Tetsuya and Great Mazinger in the trailer, so we know they're in. They're not using the actual Mazinkaiser from the movie though, they're using the OG one from SRW X, but with Mazinkaiser Kouji piloting it instead of Shin Mazinger Kouji. Tetsuya is in the Great Mazinger from V and X. Something weird's going on for sure On the bright side, Boss, Sayaka, Jun, Roll and Lori could all be playable again now that we're no longer in Mazinger Infinity jail

>>3667 Alright, fair enough. I missed the trailer, Great being in is great, any and all Kaisers are great I think. >OG Mazinkaiser but Mazinkaiser OVA Koji That is a bit weird, and I also guess this doesn't allow for Shin Mazinger Zero, otherwise it's going to be absolute death upon us if Zero gets even a whiff of Kaiser >no longer in Mazinger Infinity jail >we're actually getting the Mazinger squad >we're getting non-Shin Boss back Age of Fatso?

>>3658 I'm cool with it. |What I'm not cool with are no Braves in Y.|

>>3669 We don't know what we're getting, it's just possible. Those characters have all been playable whenever Mazinkaiser has been in before https://youtu.be/MkX4ti6PmlQ

>>3670 it has Brave Raideen

>>3670 >what's definitely a Kedora against Kaiser >what looks like Shin Mazinger's Great against what's definitely Mycenae Is it going to be post-plot Shin with movie Mycenae? This is such an odd selection, one thing to note is that it might be a misassumption to think that the two Mazinger works - or any two in the same franchise or timeline - would tie into each other chronologically. There could be Mazingers in different universes and we're somehow going between Shin and Kaiser. Although it'd be weird to have two Kojis and two Tetsuyas. Also yeah, no Yuushas?

>>3680 Shin isn't on the roster, clearly they're just reusing the Great Mazinger they designed for the Shin universe in an attempt to save money. The Kedora is a bit harder to explain, but then again, the movie doesn't really provide a generic grunt enemy to fight so they probably just threw in the Kedoras to serve that role assuming they want to make the story last longer than a stage or two

>>3683 Is this the final final complete roster, why does this feel underwhelming The only big thing I'm looking forward to is an actual conclusion for Getter They could have just reused the myriad of fun Mycenae units from Shin (or that singular grunt from Infinity!!!!!!!!!!) if they wanted to reuse guys, the Kedora making it in makes me think that something's definitely up.

>>3685 Until DLC, yes for now.

>>3685 we're all pretty underwhelmed but the DLC series haven't been revealed yet and apparently they're going to try harder to give them plot this time, so maybe that can salvage the game Anyway, as you saw they listed both the OG Kaiser and the Kedora under "Dynamic Planning Original" so stuff like that feels like it could be an umbrella term that could mean anything is in

>>3685 >>3686 Also Obari made this very curious post, no one's really sure what he means by this https://x.com/G1_BARI/status/1913971033570443526

>>3686 I thought the DLCs were generally unit-only, with minimal story apart from little dialogues and them chiming in... >>3688 but things might be exceptional, alright. A bit predatorial if they put heavy hitters and interesting story divergences behind DLC >Dynamic Planning Original It did feel like they were trying to be vague as possible about what else is making it in. But we've already had Shin and Zero make it before, so nothing's going to be a surprise unless we literally get Shin Mazinger Great coinciding with its surprise announcement >>3689 I really fucking hope Bravern gets in. Maybe we're getting a lot of surprise entries partway in the main story, with no announcement??

>>3690 If it was Shin and Zero, Shin and Zero would be on the roster. Dynamic Planning Original usually is just used for OG Mazinkaiser, but Mazin Emperor G also got in under this label, so it's probably back too

>>3692 I can't really get that enthused about Emperor G for some reason, even though nothing's wrong with it. I guess I should replay or finish V >>3693 It really was their chance to salvage U and this otherwise cool Mazinger design

>>3699 Yeah I'm not a fan of Emperor G, but at any rate, at the bare minimum I think we can safely expect to see some new moves from Great Mazinger. There's two moves that SRW V Great Mazinger doesn't have but Mazinkaiser Great Mazinger pretty much always has: Double Thunder Break, and a Great Booster move where he rides on top of the Great Booster and jumps off to punch the enemy at the same time as the Booster crashes into the enemy. Don't ask me why the latter move exists since it's neither in the OVA or the movie. No idea where it comes from but Mazinkaiser Great Mazinger has had it in every SRW appearance I think Dynamic Planning Original might also be how they sneak in Getter Noir and/or Getter Tarak

>>3700 Mazinkaiser OVA's Great Booster onegai, yeah I loved SRW30 giving us that never-before-seen (Infinity) version but the fuck-huge Booster would be a dream. I don't think I've gotten far in any Mazinkaiser SRW game, but here's hoping, I guess. More Getters are good as well, but my #1 priority is an actual ending that the anime didn't give us. They can't not do an ending unless they decide to make all of Arc mid-plot.

>>3701 No, I wanted to post this

>>3701 Well, currently, nothing else really stands out as an obvious series to end the game on. How does this roster upstage Getter Emperor? It doesn't, it can't. None of the other series have things that can eat planets and end galaxies. So it's definitely gonna be used for the game's grand finale unless maybe the surprise Bravern is real, but even then Arc will probably still close out the game. And so yeah, they'll need to conclude Arc for real somehow

>>3701 What's even the point of the robot with a missile that huge?

>>3709 So it's just Arc-centric? I mean, it's pretty front-and-center, and it's a bit of an ugly design imo. I swear we still got... ok nothing really bigger than Zero in SRW V except for I guess Cross Ange/Getter having a large impact on the world. I don't even know if Getter Emperor is going to be a good or evil force (or other), let alone recruitable. It felt weird having Zero be playable, likewise it'd be odd to have the Emperor. >>3715 What do you mean, are you doubting our trusty missiles

will we ever get a scene that surpasses this?
