The sad thing about SRW series is with more newer mechs coming to the later games, the older main mechs like the Alt, Cybuster and R1 became kind of 2nd (or even 3rd) grade mechs. With how broken Exexbein, G Dracodeus and Bellezelute, the older mechs became a meh. Ryuusei still a bit lucky with the SRX combi, but Kyousuke's and Masaki's feels pretty weak compared to those newer mechs. Hopefully for the next SRW games Banpresto will buff them just like what they did with Neo Granzon.
@ mPe I guess you right about the "old-dates" mechas like the ones you mentioned, but RIGHT NOW its very unlikely that Branpresto will release a new SRW of the OG Timeline/Universe. Why? well we got some conditions like the Excellen voice actress died from breast cancer, so who gonna replace her?
I understand that The Moon Dwellers game leave some (not necessary) questions in the air like: What happend with the invasion of the Balmar Empire? Masaki will manage to return to La Gias in order to make Cybaster gain the spiritual favor again? and others, I REALLY hope that Banpresto release another SRW game of this Timeline/Universe but i think will we wait a very long time for it...
@ Axmand When you mention it I guess that was pretty reasonable. Beside SRW X just got released last march, so I don't think we will get a new SRW game any soon. And about Mizutani it's not only concern Excellen but Alfimi and Lemon as well. There's a rumor about Lemon will be back in the next OG instalment among the Japs. Well, a game that focus only on La Gias side is also a OK for me. It will be pretty onteresting to know about the change in their environment and mechs development after the surface dwellers came to La Gias. And it's about time Cybster got some upgrade. But still, Neo Granzon FTW XP
All in all it's a great times to live since we got so many SRW games translated into english. Viva V and X...!?
@gecd It depend on your definition f broken. For me, fully customized Dracodeus and Brigandy is pretty broken because they are unkillable, pretty useful especially around the end missions. For OP mechs, Soul Gain, Soul Saber, Hyperlion, Compatible Kaiser are some of them. SRX and DGG also pretty strong. Still, Neo Granzon FTW!?
@JJ_Zalem I think the alpha timeline will keep going on for a while. We still havn't reached the 3rd alpha and I want my Dis Astranagant, arguably one of the most broken mech in SRW history. Beside just like what Axmand said above me, we still need the continuation of the Balmar invasion.
