and about the originals, well I like crowe but the other one... I don't know what to say
1st stage is Code Geass, 2nd stage is Dancouga Nova, 3rd stage is Godmars and 4th stage is Gurren Lagann!!!


from gamefaqs

Gurren Lagann
gurren and lagann can separate and change their pilots.
Spiral Power activated at 130 Will gives HP Regen Small and gains a damage boost and unlocks stronger attacks

Godmars
Starts off in his normal form, combines to Godmars at 130 Will

Code Geass
Lelouch has a commander ability that takes up his turn but gives another ally a boost to either attack, defense, or boss killing

Dancouga Nova
Starts off as Nova Eagle, combined to Dancouga Nova at 130, only stays for 5 turns and uncombines after that

Also, I'm curious about something:

Spoiler for Zeta Gundam/Gundam SEED Destiny:

I wonder if the game will follow the "secrets" of SRW Z and have both Four and Stella alive in this game. It'd be nice to do that, especially since I think it would give both of them good character development. I'm not so sure if they'll bring Rey back, though.

Well, i may be wrong but seeing as how in the old Alpha games you can save Four. and after in its sequel games ala Alpha 3, Four is playable and the events that saved her were considered canon. Though Her role in those sequel games are pretty minor to say the least.

If nobody has noticed yet the new original Crowe looks exactly like the man who shows up in Asakim's Leybuster attack cutin which most thought was Asakim at first.

Ah, game mechanic information. This is relevant to my interests.

Gurren Lagann
gurren and lagann can separate and change their pilots.
Spiral Power activated at 130 Will gives HP Regen Small and gains a damage boost and unlocks stronger attacks

It may come down to stats on this one, but I can't foresee anything coming out of this but Kamina being the main attacker and Simon being spirit bitch. Just like every multi-pilot mech ever. (and I say this with tongue firmly in cheek. GL has enough pointless grumbling on its account, much of it by me.)

Godmars
Starts off in his normal form, combines to Godmars at 130 Will

I don't have much experience with Godmars, but I don't know what they expect to accomplish with such an arbitrary restriction. Maybe they want Super Robots to actually have to work for their power nowadays? After all, they've traditionally been the be-all and end-all.

Code Geass
Lelouch has a commander ability that takes up his turn but gives another ally a boost to either attack, defense, or boss killing

Very interesting. I wonder if it will increase with level or provide a flat bonus. If it increases as he levels, the question becomes one of how Lelouch will gain levels as he is a pretty terrible pilot in-series. I also foresee a very wide command radius and map attacks, especially if/when he gets the Gawain, giving the player a choice to have him overcharge another mech or do damage on his own. Accuracy isn't an issue when it comes to most bosses in the late game, especially since they tend to be Supers or very, very large. I imagine C.C. will following along the lines of most sub-pilots in dual pilot mechs if/when we get the Gawain, and more sources of Gain and Luck are always useful.

Dancouga Nova
Starts off as Nova Eagle, combined to Dancouga Nova at 130, only stays for 5 turns and uncombines after that

What we need in this game is a joke counter. It will count the number of times Z2 acknowledges that Dancouga Nova is really the third season of Gravion. But no, seriously, 5 turns should be more than enough and I expect the Nova Eagle will be faster and more maneuverable (i.e. more survivable) than the Gran Kaiser.

So Dancouga Nova will be exactly like Gravion initially, interesting. Looks good so far!

[Kaioshin Sama]

Godmars has worked that way in every game its been in. It's because it usually starts off in its base form in the show and get kicked around a bit until just when the battle seems lost the other five robots swoop in to combine into Godmars.

Eventually it just launches as Godmars though.

wha? Dancouga Nova can only combine for 5 turn? Are you sure it's not Dancouga Nova Max God mode that is only usable for 5 turn?

Five turns is plenty for one stage. I remember in Z most of them only took me 6-7 turns. So to get the morale up it will probably take a one or two turn, then with that adding five turns that is about six or seven turns.

Seems like Lelouche's command will be static throughout the game (I don't see different levels for that ability). Being able to increase dodge/accuracy/attack by 15-30 at lvl 8 is pretty insane already, so I don't think it should get much higher. Range wise....I'm thinking that it'll be limited to the range of his leadership skill. Also, I would think that he gains exp when he uses this command just like repair or resupply.
