I played SRWJ for a bit, but it took too long to get a Gundam and I didn't really recognize anything else besides Mazinger and Full Metal Panic SEED and G are the only Gundam families in the game, but they at least did a great job of getting them true to the shows as much as the game could really do. Hell, Domon has three themes, depending on his attacks used.

That's the problem, I love G, but I don't know SEED at all. So when I finally got Domon, my patience had kinda worn thin. Then Devil Gundam killed me and I rage quit.

It really does pick up, but yeah, knowing the series helps. Luckily, since SEED is a big part of the game, they explain most of what you need to know, but it also means a lot of spoilers.

It's actually my first exposure to Mazinger/Mazinkaiser. It was pretty much love at first site.

And yes, it was 100% badass there too Mega plus points for Shin Getter, the Lord Of Elemental people and team SRX (even if there's no SRX ). Oh. And XABUNGLE~! And it handles its Gundams great too. Wing Endless Waltz is most of the plot for the beggining of the game (along Macross Plus and a bit of Zeta Gundam), and then giant plot device happens and here we have Turn A and most importantly X! (I was seeing X the first time when I started playing it, so even more awesome it became).

Very surprised when series renditions omit him, since he fits into any of the games like a glove.

I also liked the little rivalry/jealously angle/"Tetsuya's a stubborn old man in disguise" they had in Alpha Gaiden between Kouji and Tetsuya. I've never seen the Great Mazinger series, but I believe nothing like that happens in it from what I've read.
To not turn this into a "General Mecha Talk Topic", has anyone played any of the SD Gundam G Generation games? They seem to be like Gundam-only SRWs (with its own tweaks, of course, with basically no super robots and all), but I've never played any of them, but I would still like to know people's opinions of it.
That and WHEN THE HELL IS THE NEXT EPISODE OF GUNDAM UNICRON COMING~!? GAH! (yeah, I know it's set for November. But it's so long to that...)
Also, it seems that Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin will get an anime adaptation. Yeah, we need more Bright-slapping on TV! (MSG:TO is a manga adaptation of the original series, for those who don't know. It departs from it at times, from what I've gathered, so one can look at it as a remake).

General mecha talk is cool with me. I'll keep the thread title the same, though.
Tetsuya is a very interesting character. Basically Koji's brother by virtue of adoption, he is sort of stuck in the role of a hero, being trained to pilot Great Mazinger over his childhood, but feeling ultimately pretty alone in the world as an orphan, with Jun ebing in much the same position with him, but being more personable.
Koji and him trash talk a little, but seem to be closer in J than in more rivalry-filled installments.

One thing I really like about the SRW Z series, it treats Shinn Asuka with the respect he never got in his own show.

Hm, Destiny was... so-so. Shinn didn't really annoyed me that much, but... {Spoiler}Mu being alive was. Sure, it was cool and he was alive and all, but his death in SEED was pretty awesome.

Alright, time for the next debate of Deadliest Warrior: MS Gundam. Today, two of the best, and most legendary pilots in the history of Gundam. RX-78-2 Gundam, piloted by legendary pilot Amuro Ray. vs. XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero, piloted by Heero Yuy. It's the newtype vs. the ZERO system. The battle between the two men that were described as "The Heart of Outer Space." Who wins? You decide!

Him coming back was one of the many things I despised about the show past the bulls*** that happened in episode 37. Even f***ing retarded how Kira survived that and Moroswa dropped the whole Kira being responsible for Shinn's family dieing because she didn't like the VAs for Shinn and Hawke. And RX wins this due to Newtype hax

Good question. Heero in the ZERO would have the definite speed advantage. Amuro is a Newtype, which would help him put up a fight. Ultimately, though, I think he'd still lose.

Giving it to the wing zero.
Amuros gundam is only as fast as his own reflexes , the zero system will flood heero with every possible outcome and movement amuro makes , although being a newtype this is something amuro can do also to some extent.
So unless amuro can outpilot so to speak heero than the wing zero wins this IMO.

One thing you gotta remeber, Heero was kind of a shit pilot. It's even brought up in show, if it wasn't for the Gundam's being so damn strong and things like the Zero system he would have lost so many times. Amuro is a fabulous pilot and he is one of the strongest newtype in his era

Amuro is a fabulous pilot and he is one of the strongest newtype in his era I don't know about that. He WAS able to survive in a Leo when facing a bunch of Virgos. They still beat the Leos down mercilessly, but he was able to survive it all the same. He was also able to survive against Wing Zero in the Mercurius. That said, Zechs was better than him as a pilot, but he's not involved in this one.

I will give you that heero at the beginning of the series got his ass handed to him by pretty much everyone he came across.
Zechs took him down with the tallgeese 1 which was basically a leo with a face lift.
But by the end of the series heero is pretty gawd damn formidable fighting evenly with zechs and the epyon.
