- More of a proof of concept than a really good run, but hey, it's my first main series Super Robot Wars speedrun!
While this is a New Game+ run (and therefore I can stomp everything immediately), I'm not entirely sure the route would be dramatically different from a fresh start. You'd still be wrecking everything with Okita and Ruri, but you couldn't pull off as many fun world tours. Maybe I'll route that someday just to see?
Some run notes:
- Protagonist choice is irrelevant, but I prefer Chitose so I picked her.
- This run includes the Day One DLC, so I use Velt for combat from time to time. It probably costs time to have the DLC though, because Velt only truly shines on Scenario 31 and the DLC forces an extra map.
- The kill count spread isn't ideal for this file, so I end up getting two secret scenarios: Black Mightgaine and Thought Patterns. If I cared enough, I'd set up a new file just for speedrun purposes that avoids both. Luckily, they are fairly short.
- I botched the first map with Frontal (obviously). It was supposed to be a 1-turn.
- I chose the "fighting is over" route simply for final battle ease. I never even bothered planning the other route, so I don't know if it would be that much more difficult. After all the world tours in the run, I think the single final boss objective is more fun anyway.

Saw your run of Snake Eater from GDQ. Good run.
Are you Human?

Wouldn't there be some slight changes if your protagonist is either Chitose or Soji? Like some stages being a bit different or that there are more cutscenes with Chitose than with Soji (like the one where Chitose and Tetsuya are both deployed and Chitose has to run into a corner then Tetsuya has to save her) and adding a few more seconds and stuff? Or stage 8 and her not deployed which wastes even more when she finally joins again.
And I dunno if you knew but pressing L1 + Start allows you to skip cutscenes much better than R1 + Start.
As far as I remember, the map differences between Soji and Chitose are mainly player/enemy deployment swaps, so you'd do the same things just moving in a different direction. You're probably right about the scene differences, but I'll leave that to someone with more patience/time to test. Unless it was super significant though, I still think it would be runner preference instead of a different category. DLC is obviously the bigger issue.
About L1 + Start though, that's what I was using. I may have tried R1 + Start once though, because I mistakenly thought I could save a bit for a short scene. Surprisingly enough, I think there's at least one point where fast forwarding text is faster than scene skipping: Before one of Nine's "go to the meeting?" prompts.
Have you thought about commentary for any of you srw runs?
I've thought about it, but I don't think I could add post-commentary without uploading again. I'm not much of a speaker anyway, so it probably wouldn't be very good.
Any particular reason you ask though? Just curious.
YayMarsha it’s kinda selfish but I like listening to people explaining the run I totally understand though. Thank you for the response
Do you have notes for this? I'd be interested in how I could adapt this for a standard New Game run.
Sure thing: pastebin.com/1XbgvGZ6
My original notes were handwritten, so this is just a cleaned up/expanded version of those. I'm 99% sure that the New Game+ route would benefit from more Ruri world tours earlier on, but I didn't realize it's effectiveness until a while in.
If I find some time, I might try looking into this too. I'd be interested to hear what you come up with.
What are the carry over to the New Game Plus?
Money, kill counts, tac points, tac tree progress/upgrades, and various parts that you decide to roll over into the next run.
@@YayMarsha thank you for the info.
Nice speed run. could you provide some notes.
Thanks. I'll paste the link again in case you don't see the response to Andrew Kos: pastebin.com/1XbgvGZ6
