History BrokenBase / SuperRobotWars

* The fact that BX is only going to adapt the Anime/GaoGaiGar TV run and not the FINAL OVA has miffed some fans. Especially since it's been adapted in previous SRW games.

* With the release of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1jKRNv0II8 second trailer]], the visual improvements and noted content seen were pleasing, except some players started questioning Banpresto's regards towards taking incentives in developing new installments when they failed to provide [[UnexpectedCharacter unexpected additions and surprises]] prior to ''BX'' (such as the lack of {{Secret Character}}s in the ''Z'' sequels). Sure, the [[Anime/MazinkaiserSKL Mazinkaiser SKL-RR]], its "[[ChestBlaster Inferno Giga Blaster]]" attack and the "[[Anime/GaoGaiGar Silverion]] [[DropTheHammer Hammer]]" from the second trailer are welcome, but fans are divided over the issue of whether they can expect this to occur for future installments or if disappointment and mediocrity will be a natural placeholder in the games[[note]]Banpresto does not single-handedly develop every [=SRW=] title: there are multiple teams of different staff members doing different installments, each with their own take on what [=SRW=] represents[[/note]].

* Giving ''Macross Frontier'' another entry: to date, it has appeared in ''eight consecutive'' [=SRWs=] since its debut in ''L''. Whereas ''Dancougar Nova'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' are taking a break with ''BX'', some fans are getting tired of seeing ''Frontier'' in another installment. The hate died down by ''a little'' when it's confirmed that ''Frontier'' will start as PostScriptSeason in order to connect with ''VideoGame/{{Macross30}}''.

* With the release of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1jKRNv0II8 second trailer]], fans mostly rejoyced over the improvement in graphics and extra contents provided......Before questioning Banpresto's incentive to make their SRW titles intresting when they failed to provide [[UnexpectedCharacter surprising contents]] for their games (especially over ''Z'' series), when they see [[Anime/MazinkaiserSKL SKL-RR]](and [[ChestBlaster Inferno Giga Blaster]]) as well as [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Silverion]] [[DropTheHammer Hammer]] in the trailer.[[note]]It must be noted that Banpresto ''does not'' produce all SRW titles.[[/note]] Naturally, fans become divided over the issue.

*** The difficulty on early stage (Fighting against Dark Angeloi) is most likely done on purpose as plot-wise the enemies is way too strong for Z-BLUE and is even mention by heroes themselves that could have die by just fighting against these mooks.

*** Also, fans were upset certain songs were NOT in the game, such as "Yuusou" (the theme of the "Stoner Sunshine" event from ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Robo Armageddon]]'') as well as "New Frontier" and "Angel Voice" from ''[[{{Macross 7}} Macross Dynamite 7]]''.
*** Not just music: let fans watch and compare the animations of the ''Anime/DancougarNova'' in ''L'' and the ''Second Z''. People ''will'' argue which one is better (recall ''L'' is on the NintendoDS while the ''Second Z'' is on the PlayStationPortable). Same thing can be applied to the ''MacrossFrontier'' animations.
*** The use of synth violins ("[[MacrossFrontier Triangular]]" and "[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi]]" the biggest examples); in all fairness, this is a near universally hated thing when it comes to [=SRW=] music.

** People were rejoicing that ''[[{{Gigantor}} Tetsujin #28]]'', essentially the [[UrExample great grandfather of]] HumongousMecha, is at long last showing up in [=SRW=], only it's the 1980s remake and not the original, which has some people happy ''Tetsujin #28'' is showing up at all, some wishing it was the original, and some happy it's that version.

* The debut of ''Mobile Suit Gundam Age'', could be this, particularly with only using the Third Generation, which is considered to be [[SeasonalRot the weakest part of the series]]. Others however, are hoping it'll be subjected to SRW tradition of [[FixFic improving the characters and story]].

** The prior ''Gundam 00'' problem in ''Jigoku-hen'' seemed to be relieved in ''Tengoku-hen'' except some players are still miffed about certain elements (for one, [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Graham Aker]] ''still'' doesn't have the [[SummonMagic Solbraves Team Attack]]). Furthermore, while some players consider the treatment for the movie in ''UX'' is at least comparable to, if not, better than ''Tengoku-hen''[[note]]The lack of [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Setsuna F. Seiei]] during the ''Gundam 00'' finale of ''Tengoku-hen''[[/note]], the result is nothing but this trope. All this is before certain players continuing to compare the animations between ''UX'' and ''Tengoku-hen'' to further fuel UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars.

* Just like ''UX'', putting ''VideGame/SuperRobotWarsBX'' onto the [[RegionCoding region-locked]] Nintendo 3DS.

*** And yet the opinion flies off in the opposite direction about two-thirds of the way into the game (around the point right after Nono is able to become Buster Machine no.7), where your collective team has simply become so powerful that the game can't really create a challenge anymore. This is compounded because it's not even the peak of your power, you get even ''more'' powerups around 10 stages down the line. So the issue is more that the difficulty curve is far too sharp in the beginning and middle and nonexistent by the end.

*** Background information regarding [[spoiler:[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsZ Asakim Dowin]]]] has been rewritten in ''Tengoku-hen'', so much that it has little to no relation to the description seen in the character's profile back in the ''first game'', particularly [[spoiler:the "sins" which he mentions throughout the saga]]. The fact this character's final line of dialogue is [[spoiler:a parallel to the opening lyrics of Masaki's "Neppu! Shippu! Cybuster!" {{Leitmotif}}]] leading to an abundance of WildMassGuessing and MindScrew for many players has lead them to point towards WriterCopOut for [[spoiler:neglecting his built-up origins]].

** The arrangements for some of the songs in ''Hakai-hen'' had fans either cheering (such as "[[ShinMazinger Kanjite Knight]]" and "[[GetterRobo HEATS]]"), or outright wanting to murder the composer in cold blood, with "[[Anime/DancougarNova Tori no Uta]]" being the largest offender. It wouldn't be that big of an issue had not the same track been used in ''L'', giving fans something to compare.
*** Also, fans were upset certain songs were NOT in the game, such as "Yuusou" (the theme of the "Stoner Sunshine" event from ''[[GetterRobo Getter Robo Armageddon]]'') as well as "New Frontier" and "Angel Voice" from ''[[{{Macross 7}} Macross Dynamite 7]]''.

** Multiple characters being DemotedToExtra or [[SummonMagic as part of another character's attacks]] isn't getting received very well, particularly for characters who were already shafted out of playable roles in ''Jigoku-hen''. Some fans however, do appreciate some of the new "summon" attacks they presented.

*** Many characters are BackFromTheDead from previous installments, most without much explanation and/or HandWaving. Naturally, the latter is seen as lazy, shodding writing, earning the developing staff flak.

* Mostly regarding [[RegionCoding region locking]] of the Nintendo3DS, {{Unexpected Character}}s (''[[VideoGame/VirtualON Cyber Troopers Virtual-On]]: [[{{Vocaloid}} Fei-Yen HD]]'' being the most ludicrous entry yet[[note]]It's an action figure rather than a game[[/note]]), and using the visual style of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL'', a BaseBreaker in its own right. Finally, the inclusion of DownloadableContent for a franchise that didn't have it until now.

* Meanwhile, some Japanese players weren't entirely thrilled over how ''UX'' handled the crossover elements (or considering it overhyped), though the majority opinions remained positive.
* A UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars example: since they come from two competitive plafforms (PS4 doesn't count) and in close timeslot, it's uncommon for players to compare between ''UX'' and both installments of ''Z3'' for whichever the superior SRW title. The fact that the two games are actually ''comparable'' in fandom's opinion doesn't sit well with some.

* ''Second VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ: Hakai-hen''

* ''Second Super Robot Wars Z: Saisei-hen''

** Upon the reveal of screenshots, certain players were upset Banpresto wasn't taking full advantage of the PlayStation3 and PlaystationVita by going the 3D route for maps, instead opting back for the heads-down display as the ''Second Z'' did. Grumblings of LazyArtist were abound, since both systems have the hardware and power to do it, especially when the ''Second Original Generation'' could.

*** Now with ''Tengoku-hen'' released, the above problem seemed to be relieved by some degree......Except Graham ''still'' doesn't have [[SummonMagic [=SolBraves=] Team Attack]]. Furthermore, when some players consider the general treatment for the movie in ''UX'' is at least comparable to, or sometimes better than, ''Tengoku-hen'' [[note]]The lack of DVE for Setsuna during the 00 finale in Z3.2 doesn't settle well with many[[/note]], the result is nothing but this trope. (And let's not compare the animations between the two games before starting a [[UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars Console War]].)
** In addition, the game [[WhatCouldHaveBeen cut a lot of content]] made from the ''Second Z'' duology, such as visual effects[note]like After Image, Barriers, etc[/note] and {{Combination Attack}}s, when they're perfectly adaptable for this game and hardware (as seen for certain units from returning series like ''Anime/CodeGeass''). Cue fan outcry and accusations of Banpresto being too concerned about their financial budget, leading to this occurring.

** Since ''Tengoku-hen'' is the final ''Z'' installment, the plot of ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' potentially ending off as a {{Cliffhanger}} via ''3.0: You Can (Not) Redo'' or using something entirely new (a la ''Gurren Lagann'' in ''Saisei-hen'') isn't sitting well with some people, especially when "4.0" is still in production. And before the game released, Tereda confirmed Z3.2 won't include the plot from ''3.0'' except their settings and mecha.
** The lack of {{Combination Attack}}s, as many players are upset over the absence of obvious (or potential) choices, such as "Triple Inazuma Kick" between the ''Anime/{{Gunbuster}}'' and ''Anime/{{Diebuster}}'' casts being the primary one, "Final Dynamic Special" from the God Scrander-equipped Mazinger Z and [[Anime/GetterRobo Shin Getter]], and anything from the Universal Century characters, particularly ''Char's Counterattack'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn''.

** Three words: SequelDifficultySpike. Many players enjoy the game with increased difficulty over previous titles, but some do complain that, at some point, the game is downright ''unforgiving''.
** With the game released, the divide of whether it's worthy of a saga-ending installment like ''Alpha 3'' or not.
*** Many characters goes BackFromTheDead from previous installments, most without much explaination. This particular act has already earned flaks for the writer of being too lazy.
*** One part deserves a particular mention: [[spoiler:Asakim's background]] had been rewritten so much that [[spoiler:it now has little to none relation to those description in ''his'' character profile back in ''Z1'']], and in particular, [[spoiler:the "sins" which he mentioned a lot]]. And during the epliogue [[spoiler:he goes wandering again before throw down a line not unlike a lyric from [[AwesomeMusic/SuperRobotWars "Neppu! Shippu! Cybuster!"]]]]. Needless to say, such act becomes a MindScrew for many and some accused the writer for taking an easy way out about [[spoiler:his already built-up background]].

** With its reveal, fan rage intensified on the Internet when they found out ''Anime/SpaceWarriorBaldios'', ''Anime/GodSigma'', ''King Gainer'', ''Anime/{{Xabungle}}'', ''Anime/{{Gravion}}'', ''Anime/{{Dancougar}}'', and ''Eureka Seven'' are no longer part of the roster, particularly the latter, as its plot had the most impact in the first two ''Z'' installments. [[OlderThanTheyThink While previous games in the franchise have shafted older series for new debuts]] (such as ''Anime/BrainPowerd'' and ''Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam'' for ''Alpha 3''), some fans claimed such series removal in this {{Continuity}} is a detriment to the overall storyline.
*** The absence of ''Eureka Seven'' might be explained by the [[FanonDiscontinuity poor reception]] of its [[Anime/EurekaSevenAO sequel]], which would otherwise have been a natural fit.

* ''Second Super Robot Wars Z: Hakai-hen''

** Frankly, any new installment will elicit this reaction from the fans, whether it's regarding the plots from various series and how Banpresto is able (or unable) to make a crossover work out, the changes in game play, [[ConsoleWars which system should the game be on]], which unit could easily [[GameBreaker/SuperRobotWars break the game]] the most, and so on and so forth.

* To some, the ''[[Characters/MasouKishin Masou Kishin]]'' cast members, aside from mainstays [[Characters/MasouKishin Masaki Andoh, Lune Zoldark and Shu Shirakawa]]. The majority of players were very glad with them being in the ''Second Original Generation''. However, there is a camp that [[NeverLiveItDown won't let it down regarding]] their previous [[CrutchCharacter lackluster performance]] in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden]]'' (as ''Alpha'' is probably the most known licensed [=SRW=] to them) and consider them useless or a waste of space.

** The arrangements for some of the songs in ''Hakai-hen'' had fans either cheering (such as "[[ShinMazinger Kanjite Knight]]" and "[[GetterRobo HEATS]]"), or outright wanting to murder the composer in cold blood, with "[[Anime/DancougarNova Tori no Uta]]" being the largest offender.

Grumblings of LazyArtist were abound, since both systems have the hardware and power to do it, especially when the ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Second Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'' could.

** The plot for ''Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer'' is not concluded in ''Jigoku-hen'', pulling another ''Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'' delay via ''Hakai-hen''. This is especially bad when comparing with its debut in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsUX'', where their machines have a healthy amount of weapons available ''even before'' the final battle against the [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer ELS]] (for that matter, just ask anyone who's played ''UX'' about the [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Raphael Gundam and the Brave]]).

** Now that the game has released, the divide of whether the game is worthy of a saga-ending installment like ''Alpha 3'' or not.

Even though the franchise offers a unique MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover experience via HumongousMecha, that doesn't necessarily mean its fans don't have divided opinions over what occurs in each installment.

* Frankly, any new ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' games will elicit this reaction from the fan base whether it's about how Banpresto was able to make cross over plot work out, the changes in game play, [[ConsoleWars which system should the game be in]], which unit could easily [[GameBreaker/SuperRobotWars break the game]] the most, and so on and so forth.

* Some fans didn't take the ''Original Generation'' concept well and think of it as stupid, because "SRW should only be made up of licensed shows".

* To some, the ''[[Characters/MasouKishin Masou Kishin]]'' cast members, aside from mainstays [[Characters/MasouKishin Masaki Andoh, Lune Zoldark]] and Shu. The majority of players were very glad with them being in the ''Second Original Generation''.

* ''Hakai-hen'' suffered a lot of this. While some found the cast list to be the best thing ever, others hate it for removing the "TRI-Battle System" from ''Z'', having only one protagonist, a lack of {{Secret Character}}s and the inability to save certain characters who players want to survive throughout the course of the series.
** Much of the complaints were rooted in hardware issues, as a UMD can only hold so much data. The fact the ''Second Super Robot Wars Z'' was split into two parts resulted in certain things being wound up on the cutting room floor.

** The plot of [[spoiler:''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'']] doesn't end in ''Saisei-hen'', and [[spoiler:the [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann]]]] isn't playable, despite the [[spoiler:[[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Cathedral Lazengann]]]] appearing. While it's an obvious setup for a SequelHook, this annoyed certain players.

** The fact that [[spoiler:[[CodeGeass Euphemia li Britannia]] turns out NotQuiteDead]] in the "Trust Zero" Route, but [[spoiler:[[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]] and [[MobileSuitGundam00 Lockon "Neil Dylandy" Stratos]] stay dead]] annoyed some players. To be fair, [[spoiler:Euphemia being alive]] has less negative impact to the overall plot (for ''Saisei-hen'' and ''CodeGeass'') than having [[spoiler:Kamina and Neil]] come back would.
** ''Jigoku-hen'' removes certain series like ''EurekaSeven'', ''OvermanKingGainer'', ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' and ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' in favor of new series; like ''Hakai-hen'', it is but part ONE of the ''Third Super Robot Wars Z'', making these complaints feel redundant.
*** Upon the reveal of screenshots for ''Jigoku-hen'', certain players were upset Banpresto wasn't taking full advantage of the PlayStation3 and PlaystationVita by going the 3D route for maps, instead opting back for the heads-down display as the ''Second Z'' did. Grumblings of LazyArtist were abound, since both systems have the hardware and power to do it, especially when the ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Second Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'' could.
*** The second promotional trailer revealed the plot of ''MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' is happening, which irked some players, particularly since [[MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bagina]] said he wouldn't let it happen. Not only does this make [[MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char Aznable]] a {{Hypocrite}} and liar, {{Colony Drop}}ping Axis has been done too many times in previous [=SRWs=], especially when [[MobileSuitGundamUnicorn another character who looks like Char (Full Frontal)]] could be the one to do it in place of the man himself, a theory most players felt positive about when ''Jigoku-hen'' was announced. [[spoiler:Turns into {{Superdickery}} when Full Frontal ''is'' the one performing the drop, whereas Char is working behind the scenes to prevent it, going so far as to pull a XanatosGambit in case the ColonyDrop occurs]].
** With ''Jigoku-hen'' released, players weren't pleased to discover some attack animations have taken a step back against [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLVdkgwbHdc previous]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aopzdml43n8 titles]], especially when new animations are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsDKOj6n-Os given better treatment]]. While this base is always broke regarding Banpresto's bias towards different titles (particularly debuts), ''Jigoku-hen'' seems to be the worst yet.
