This is the 830th original article of the Old Boy Game Box, written by @ King Crab
Two days ago, the 828th issue of the article Lao Crab shared with you about the "Super Robot Wars" pilot skills "Bottom Force, Shield Defense" fragmented thoughts, I saw that everyone shared a lot of their own experiences, but the old crab still felt that in the early "Machine War", the bottom force was definitely a skill designed by the enemy undercover, no matter how you look at it, it is hung on the blood cow BOSS and can actually fight better than his own people. The shield defense is more face-oriented, and the restraining effect on the organism is not very obvious.
Which of the remaining skills in the early days of "Machine Wars" is more practical, such as Slashing, New-Type, and Holy Warrior?
Switchback
The skill "Cut", also known as Cut, Chop or Sword Cut, is the only pilot skill that can be called a magic skill in the early days of "Machine War", and its effect is to completely defuse the opponent's specific type of attack, but there are many preconditions for the launch of this skill:
First of all, of course, the pilot must have the skill of cutting back.,Since the beginning of the "Fourth", this skill has the concept of level.,The probability of launching is the percentage of the corresponding level Lv/16.,Specifically, Lv1/16=6%,The highest is Lv9/16, which is about equal to the maximum 56%,When you reach the maximum level, you can resolve almost half of the corresponding type of attacks.。
The second is that the pilot's body is equipped with weapons and equipment that can be used to meet attacks, such as lightsabers, physical swords and axes, and even a glittering palm knife such as the God Gundam.
The third is that the attack used by the opponent is a normal melee weapon, as described above, but excluding special moves. This involves the problem of saving some face for the super robot, and people explode, lines + CG performance effect for half a minute, and you will be repelled with a light wave, is this too much of a slap in the face?
There are also live-fire weapons such as missiles, cold weapons, and even Gundam floating cannons.
THE FOURTH AND MOST EASILY OVERLOOKED HIDDEN SETTING IS THAT THE BODY CANNOT LAUNCH A CUT WHEN IT CANNOT ATTACK THE OPPONENT, WHICH IS ALSO A SETTING THAT ONLY EXISTED IN THE EARLY WINKY SOFT PERIOD, AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WORKS ARE "THE FOURTH" AND "F". It was basically abolished in later machine combat works, which is one of the reasons why many players feel that the later "Machine Wars" does not have the original hardcore feeling.
After meeting all the above conditions, the effect of switching back is still very cool, and you can cut off the opponent's attack weapon in the sword dance, and even beat the enemy robot to the ground.
The duel where the lightsabers intersect during the Gundam series battle, and the slashing down of the oncoming floating cannons one by one are also faithful reproductions of the famous scenes of the anime.
This situation reminds the crab of a game on the FC platform "Saiyan Extermination Project", because this game also has a similar setting of "bullet wave", when the crab found that when the enemy's flying props were about to hit us, there would be a few frames of misses, if you enter "←+A" at this time, there is a high probability that the bullet wave will be launched.
As a result, the old crab will play "Machine Warfare" in the future, and as long as the situation of cutting is satisfied, he will subconsciously press "→+A", which can be regarded as a very interesting memory.
New-Type
When it comes to the original feeling, I have to mention a few other skills: New-Type, Strengthening the Human World, and Holy Warrior. First of all, the New-Type is a skill unique to the world of Gundam, and the corresponding skill is the pilot skill of "Strengthening the Human World".
Anyone who has read the original knows that New-Type is the awakening skill of the cosmic human being, which belongs to the original, and strengthening the human world is the use of technology to force ordinary people without New-Type ability to have a "pirated" skill with similar characteristics.
In the game, the hit rate and evasion rate of the corresponding level increase, and the range of specific weapons increases, and the higher the level, the stronger the effect. At Lv1, the base hit rate and evasion rate are increased by 10 points, and the final hit at Lv9 is 43 points of terrifying evasion bonus.
This is also the reason why in the old WINKY SOFT period, most of the top pilots of the Gundam system had data overflow in red at the back, just like the original game said that humans have broken through the limits of the mech, and even in the game, there is no suitable mech that needs to be equipped with a chip to break through the boundary.
At this time, the old crab wanted to complain about the 0083 radish ensign who relied on "hard work" to get to the top - Pu Mu Hong, this guy couldn't comprehend the realm of New-Type in his life, but he occupied the GP-03D large container truck. Therefore, when he was attacking "F", he often pulled him down to drive Lingus, and changed Amuro or Camus to drive his car.
The concept of the original game is truly embodied in the Gundam-series top-of-the-line aircraft, the floating cannon, which can only be activated by pilots with New-type skills.
In addition, the range of the floating cannon increases by 1 at New-Type skill Lv7 and increases by 2 at level 9. The floating cannon in "F" will also add a map cannon mode after the full change, which can only be used by pilots of New-Type Lv4, and it is a pretty cool map weapon that can identify friend and foe, but the range is a little small.
Holy Warrior
The last thing to talk about is the "Holy Warrior" series of pilots' unique skill "Holy Warrior", this skill is similar to the deteriorated version of New-Type, from Lv1's base evasion rate plus 10 points, to Lv9's final evasion rate plus 43 points.
Although there is no accuracy bonus, it is not a problem at all for the Palazin's flexible mobility and accuracy parameters.
In addition, the Holy Warrior system's special skill Aura Slash must also correspond to the level of the skill Holy Warrior, and the Holy Warrior level also brings a more practical damage bonus to Aura Slash, from the power of Lv1 increased by 200 points to the final power of Lv9 increased by 1500 points, which almost adds the damage of a medium weapon, and also gives some players who have no change in the challenge the best choice for the output of the body.
There is also the old crab when he was attacking the "Machine Battle" work with the appearance of the holy warrior, and he always felt that the holy warrior level also had a chance to increase the supernormal attack (CT), but this official did not mention it, I don't know if it is an illusion.
After entering the "α" era of the new "Machine Warfare", with the gradual maturity of the system and the variety of works participating in the war, many pilot skills have been added to this robot world. The super robots that used to only have the power of the bottom have finally ushered in their own spring, and skills such as Gaita force, photon power, superpowers, and harmonic rhythm have brought new ability bonuses, which also make the data calculation of the "Machine War" game more complicated.
However, everything remains the same, and although the new generation of "Machine Warfare" works have many skills, as a player, they hardly feel the meaning of the existence of these entries. Because the system does everything for us automatically, we just need to press the decision button on a few simple final parameters.
Now playing the old game series "Machine Wars" has long lost the feeling of the past, and even the meaning of the word "strategy simulation" has long been lost. However, the history that has existed will not disappear, recalling the time when I fought all night the old version of "Machine War", as long as I picked up the handle or mobile phone to open the simulator, I still go back to the years when the soul of steel was burning, I wonder if this is the common voice of the majority of old players in machine warfare?
