Don't worry, I'm on this. I've had it pre-ordered for about a month now.

It's going to be awesome. I haven't seen a protagonist that cool in awhile. I can't wait to use the Altesein and the Gespenst as assists.

It's basically going to play like an RPG with a semi-fighting-game style of combat where your goal is to deal as much damage as possible by juggling your opponent. What makes this game so cool is that it has a few mecha from the SRT (Super Robot Taisen) series such as the Altesein, Gespenst, and Wildwurger that can jump in and assist your characters. To make this awesome game even cooler is the characters. The main character is a ladies-man and, unlike most typical anime-style males, doesn't get rebuked for his actions and comes off as being witty. Merchants, which are usually uninteresting in these kinds of games, have been replaced with cat-girls. While this may not sound too awesome to some of you, I am a closet furry and I think it's awesome.

On a side note, the characters Arisu Renji and Xiomu were the main characters of the game "Namco X Capcom" which was only released in Japan and had a similar combat system.

You should talk to lordsathien. But no furwank on the boards.

Don't worry about that. Just because I'm a furry doesn't mean I am without tact. I will leave any sort of fur-related material off of the boards.

Also, I call it Super Robot Wars like normal people; Super Robot "Taisen" is a stupid name and I don't understand why they changed it for a TV show that doesn't even exist here.

Hmmm...I didn't know that. I just know that they don't release half of the Super Robot Wars in the U.S. I've seen all kinds of Mecha on the Japanese games such as Big O and the Nirvash. I'm pretty sure we don't have SRW's like that here.

I can't wait, this is going to be the best. I haven't looked forward to a game in a long time...

I didn't really know about that until Mr. Bomberman informed me of my mistake.

But yeah, I've had this preordered for some time now. I can't wait.

I had the game pre-ordered at least a month in advance and it just shipped a few days ago. I can't wait until it gets here.

The stores around here didn't have them. Rotten luck on my part I guess. Besides, the only stores around here are gamestops. They're pretty unreliable (at least the three or four around here are) and they often times sell games labeled "New" that are actually used. It's really a matter of luck for some people, so I went with the internet. It's just a shame that it's taken so long. Oh well, it should be coming today so everything is gravey.

Just goes to prove my theory: Suzuka sucks as support. She can juggle with the best of 'em however the moment you put her in the back row her top priority changes to screwing up the flow of chains with her akward support attack.

I sincerely hope the lead is as human-sounding as Hawken. You don't normally get that kind of hero and I'd like to see a similar one in the future. Having an ultra-just/ stereotypical guy reluctant to admit that he is attracted to someone else's body has been so overplayed.
