SRW is such a funny thing for me to think about cause it’s like “wow a trpg game that’s been ongoing for decades that really encapsulates how huge and significant mecha is to japan by having every and all mecha been featured in this giant crossover that also has really cool attack animations that replicate the shows they’re from well, with new original content for some shows sprinkled in as well” at first glance then I proceed to be salty by going “oh wait the main show I like in here is only ever used for one iteration which they end up butchering and all the other mechas I’ve liked have shown up maybe once because I’ve liked the ones that had to flop in Japan- also this game caused tags to be unnecessarily filled with crossovers and people acting like they know a series just because it was in SRW thanks I hate it” and this cycle is only a constant because I haven’t actually played a SRW besides 30s demo for a bit 💀

#meg text #mecha rambles #super robot wars #SRW #I could never hate SRW just because it doesn’t give me what I want-that’s petty-and overall I’m sure it’s a fun time #but man does it suck to remember how getter is one of the big 3 but SRW fumbles using it despite the potential #I think it’s stupid to hate arma for SRW or merch but it’s absolutely overstayed it’s welcome SRW wise #because they aren’t even doing anything interesting with it which is PAINFUL because GO TEAM IS RIGHT THERE #you are sleeping on the potential of go team actually interacting with senior team more #because that is armas probably biggest missed opportunity especially regarding Kei #but let’s just pretend go team hardly is significant even though their MORE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS #(this in general will always bother the SHIT out of me with how arma is marketed even if I sadly know why)#”first protag is more remembered/liked” which is a constant pain in my side 💀#I feel like I’ve ranted about this tags before and getter wasn’t even why I made this post but whatever #the real reason I made this was because my big o brain rot got me like “wow this could be so cool to see in SRW again”#only to remember it flopped in Japan so they don’t want to use it #same deal as to why shin Jeeg never gets fucking used #I should at the very least be happy these two are at least owned by companies who do a lot of mecha stuff #so getting them in if they did isn’t a jumping through hoops risk #but at the same time “man if I ever wanna a crossover with these I’d have to write it myself”#”and I don’t wanna do that because all the tags already have too many SRW crossovers”#(I say as I have a idea I might do but shhhhhhhhhh)#maybe one day big o and Jeeg will come back but I doubt they’ll interact with getter because they’re completely different #despite their being SHARED aspects that someone else could totally like all 3 for that same reason
