Another Century's Episode or "A.C.E." is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover Mecha Game series made by a combination of Banpresto (most famous for the Super Robot Wars games) and FromSoftware (makers of the Armored Core series and Metal Wolf Chaos). Simply put, think of A.C.E. as Super Robot Wars, but played in the style of Armored Core.Much like Super Robot Wars, the story in each game in the series is a mashup of multiple Humongous Mecha series (mostly of the Real Robot variety), and revolves around a piece of Applied Phlebotinum which happens to fall into the hands of an Original Generation character.The games are lauded for managing to keep (nearly) each and every playable mecha completely true to their counterparts without sacrificing gameplay or fun in the process. | |

Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_14450636 | comment |
Debut Queue: In R, the player picks a series to start with and experiences a couple of missions purely from its source material before the "black sphere" teleports them to Eria. Shortly thereafter, they meet about half the cast; over the course of the next two or three stages, they meet the other half, which necessitates a lot of introductions and Exposition (so newcomers know what an Exodus, Britannian and Miclone are) | |

Power Creep, Power Seep | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_14dfb81 | comment |
Power Creep, Power Seep: All over the place, with the most glaring example being the Shin Getter Robo in The Final. The Super Robot capable of cutting stars in half in its home series is FAR outclassed by the likes of Kira Yamato and Heero Justified since the Shin Dragon isn't there to pump up its energy and the machine got trashed a few times, anyways. | |

Villain Team-Up | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_169d22e6 | comment |
Villain Team-Up: Usually ends with both sides double-crossing each other 2: Delaz Fleet teams up with Giganos to rebel against the UCE's supposed tyranny, The Reclaimers ally with the Drake Army, who are interested in Orphan's power and Grados (or Glados) and Poseidal partner up in order to chase the goals of their respective leaders: Lu Cain wants to Take Over the World, while Giwaza seeks to gather superweapons like the Devil Gundam and Buster Ark. 3: Neo-Zeon convinces the Martian Successors and Ex-Giganos groups to rise up in a mass rebellion against The Federation of Earth A. In Earth B, the Siberian Railroad and Tower State Militia are established as groups working under the United New Earth Federation. In both worlds, we have Antibody Coralians causing widespread destruction in conjunction with the Invaders. This is eventually revealed to be because the Invaders are in fact, Antibody Coralians mutated by Getter Rays. R: Several villains, including Yazan and his wingmen, the Death Gale Team, the Knights of the Round, Nora and Ivanov, the 33rd Marine Squadron, and members of Chiram and the Siberian Railroad get pulled into the "black sphere" along with the heroes and end up siding with Season. | |

Genre Shift | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: By the way each game represents the story: the first seems to be realistic mecha simulation, similar to Armored Core, with an anime setting. The only face the player will see during a mission is his operator and the avatar character is a nondescript pilot. 2 shifts toward anime and less of realism, with the player actually seeing the protagonist during cutscenes. Tak's solid with personality and a background story. Still, aside from a few flashbacks and mission briefings, the player will never see Tak interact with other characters outside of battles (they use voicemail to contact him personally), and there are various reports which the player can read to learn about events beyond his scope. The Final slides even more towards an anime feeling, with Barrel actually talking to his fellow pilots before their sorties and everything is represented through dialogue | |

However, this could be what System A.C.E. was intended for, in the first place... | |

Another Century's Episode: R - The fourth game in the series (and the first for the PlayStation 3), R sees characters from a myriad of anime worlds get caught in a mysterious "black sphere" and dumped in a parallel universe on the distant, ruined Planet Eria. Word of God confirmed it's an Obvious Beta, since R will be used as a testbed for the new hardware, alongside revamping the franchise. To that end, each series is limited to its "essential core characters" as playables, with visuals and gameplay being the primary focus rather than the massive cast list of the previous game. Returning series - Zeta Gundam, Char's Counterattack, Overman King Gainer Series debuted - Super Dimension Century Orguss, Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, Full Metal Panic!, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, Genesis of Aquarion, Macross Zero, Macross Frontier, Super Robot Wars: Original Generation, Armored Core: Master of Arena. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Master Gundam in 3; on one hand, you get to control Cool Old Guy Master Asia and the machine can go into two successive super modes...on the other hand, most of its attacks either require a bit of startup time, aren't exactly effective against moving targets (which is just about everything in the game), or both. There's some The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard with this one because, when the AI uses the Master Gundam, it's hell to fight. | |

Although both the Doctor and the Seasons want all humans on Eria dead, the Seasons simply sees it as a conquest whereas Dr. Shiki sees it as an expression of his twisted vision of saving the world, and Winter One himself wasn't very happy to find out that Shiki isn't quite dead as everyone was led to believe. | |

Fighter-Launching Sequence | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_3e9403d8 | comment |
Fighter-Launching Sequence: Due to the heavy usage of Real Robots in the series, this was an incredibly common occurrence in the series' first three entries, which each installment handling them differently due to the presentation. Of note is ACE 2, which involves the catapult and flight deck of the protagonist's flagship folding out to make a runway that reveals the player's chosen mecha. This also shows off a genre shift by adding cut-ins of the pilot's eyeline shouting either a catchphrase or requesting permission to launch. A subtly comedic example of this is the Billbine, where Cham Fau attempts to authorize it for launch, only for Show Zama, its pilot to brush her out of the way and say it himself. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: According to the backstory of R, humans colonized Eria, only to be randomly attacked by automated drones they dubbed "Aggressors". Eventually, they developed a planetary shield and defense system, maintained by the Season androids. Unfortunately, for some reason or another, their leader Winter One decided that humanity had to go. Until it's subverted at the last moment when Dr. Shiki, a human who secretly had his mind inserted into Winter One, takes control of the android's body and shows himself to be responsible for turning the Seasons against humanity. Winter One himself isn't above sending his "siblings" to carry out suicide attacks or outright shooting them in the back if doing so distracts the heroes from his works although this may or may not be an indirect result of Shiki's influence as well. | |

Dual Boss | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_486466ee | comment |
Dual Boss: Used quite often. Just to name a few: Todd Guiness and Jeryl Coochibi are often paired with their spiritual successors/expies Johnathan Glenn and Quincy Issa respectively, to show how similar they are After Todd's Killed Off for Real, Johnathan then hooks up with Dunbine's own Black Knight, who himself swaps partners and teams with Jeryl after Johnathan and Quincy are absorbed by Orphan Akito Tenkawa and Gai Daigouji attempt to keep you from preventing the Nadesico's departure to Mars in an amusing Let's You and Him Fight situation The members of Dragonar's Quirky Miniboss Squad love attacking you in pairs. In the final battle against them after two of their members are Killed Off for Real, the remaining ones become a rare example of a "Trio Boss" Another Trio Boss shows up in the form of Layzner's Lu Cain, Gostello and Getey all teaming up to stomp you when you storm their tower Depending on what path you take, you'll either wind up facing the combined might of the Frost Brothers once or twice Charles and Ray Beams also attack in a pair, and their speed and the tendency of one to hit you while you're locked on to the other makes them really frustrating to deal with Dragonar's Meio Plato teams up with the Big Bad of The Prince of Darkness for one of these Cynthia Lane and Artham Boone pop up twice for this kind of fight. Cynthia then gets a playmate in the form of That One Boss and fellow yandere Anemone... 3 plays this one to the very end, as in the second-to-last level, you're faced with Gyunei Guss and Quess Paraya, piloting a Elite Mook and Lightning Bruiser-class mecha. When you're done with them, you find out they're just part of a Boss Rush, and now Char Aznable is coming at you in his Sazabi... The Boss Rush levels effectively live off this trope. It's at its very, very worst in 2 when the Neue Ziel (already That One Boss on its own) gains a dream-team partner in the Sazabi | |

Downer Ending | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The first game: due to a Sadistic Choice, you're forced to massacre civilians in a "needs of the many" situation. After taking out Hokushin, you chase Char Aznable to Mars and take care of him, too. Unfortunately, the UCE Government has now labeled all of Londo Bell to be traitors and mass-murderers, forcing the heroes to go into hiding. The only remotely-good thing to come out of this debacle is a suggestion given by the narrator that the disgraced heroes are protecting Earth from the shadows, because they're heroes and that's what they do. The answer as to whether this is supposed to be a hint at a new adventure or just a Hope Spot will never be known since the sequels then proceed to throw this storyline out the window. Shin Kudo in R ends up no closer to finding Sara Nome by the conclusion of his story. That, and see You Can't Go Home Again entry below. | |

R's support abilities are also this, whenever the player commands a unit to perform the action. This can get a little annoying, as it's the only way to perform a Combination Attack. | |

Bookends | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_53224e46 | comment |
Bookends: The series in of itself loves this. For example, the first and last games in the original ACE trilogy have their intros consisting of the playable robots dismantling a large military force in a somehow abandoned city. The latter kicks things up a notch by replacing the enemy's tanks and jets with mobile suits that still get blown to smithereens by the heroes regardless. A more subtle example happens at the end of said introductions, where the heroes fly away into the distance at the end. In ACE 1, the mecha fly away at breakneck speed, with Akito Tenkawa of Nadesico infamy in his Black Selena just managing to keep up with the pack. Flash forward two years for ACE 3, and now he leads the protagonist flight at the end of the game's intro as they fly off into the distance. ACE 2 has bookends of its own in-story, as it begins and ends with Original Generation characters Tak and Marina in a private conversation, during a fight. The intro to ACE R begins and ends with the Aquarion falling from the sky into a desert. | |

Alternate Universe | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_8430699a | comment |
Another Century's Episode 3: The Final - Continues and finishes the continuity from the previous game.

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The Cybuster's Ranbu No Tachi, Akaskic Buster and ESPECIALLY Cosmo Nova attacks are INSANE in R, to the point where you wonder if these animations are instead for some new Super Robot Wars game. Cosmo Nova is pretty much guaranteed to hit For Massive Damage. | |

Joke Character | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_8f1ec2c5 | comment |
Joke Character: Marina's Feather Ark in 2, the RX-78-2 Gundam and the Gatchko in 3 The Gespenst MK II M in the original game isn't quite a joke character, but is hands-down the weakest machine in the game, thus treated as such by the fan community; beating the game with an stock Gespenst is considered the "ironman" challenge The RX-78-2 is more a Lethal Joke Character, considering it's hideously overpowered to the point of Game-Breaker: while it shoots slow for most weapons and has insanely long reload times, the damage is absolutely insane to the point where even bosses go down in a few well-placed shots Bonta-kun in R. Bonta-kun is a god compared to Luca Angeloni's RVF-25. Absolutely pitiful damage from its primary ranged weapon, an almost nonexistent melee combo string, and its only Tension ability being to futz with enemy missiles make for a difficult time fighting just about anything. It gains some useful skills in its "Super" configuration, but said configuration is only available for five levels at the tail end of the game, one of which is That One Level. | |

Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Bottomless Magazines: The franchise moved in this direction over time. In the first two games, ammunition was pretty reasonable, but in the third, everyone's main weapon had a large amount of shots and reloaded very quickly (in the area of 5-8 seconds). R just says to hell with it and gives infinite ammo to everyone's primary gun, but everything else runs off of a "Tension" meter which builds by attacking, taking damage, and from some support abilities, such as Zero's Geass. This odd set-up means that weaker weapons like Mobile Suits' vulcan guns or Knightmare Frames' slash harkens cost Tension while beam rifles, grenade launchers and the like can be used freely. | |

Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Isn't it sad, Burning? Noin? Sara? Shiratori? Toudou? And those are just the characters who at least got speaking roles. R has quite a bit of this, since the "black sphere" means that we see brief snippets of events in every series' home world before only the select few playables get pulled away. In a larger sense, Gundam Wing. In the original ACE it played a large role in the overall plot, complete with Romefeller Foundation HQ serving as the headquarters of the UCE. In 2, the characters are mainly there to play Big Damn Heroes, without even enacting Endless Waltz's plot (Wu Fei still rebels, but without the larger backstory of the Mariemaia Rebellion it looks more like he's throwing a temper tantrum). The Final takes it even further by only having Heero appear or even be mentioned out of the entire cast. | |

High-Altitude Battle: The fact there are so many of these is the reason units who, while unable to fly in their original series, have no problem doing so here Subverted somewhat in R: Variable Fighters from Macross franchise are no longer capable of sustained flight in Battroid mode; also, when the heroes proceed to ascend towards space, Arm Slaves, Mobile Suits from Universal Century and Cosmic Era universes, Overmen, and the Earth Federation Army robots break off from the party to storm an orbital elevator rather than sitting out on actions (as most of them cannot leave planetary atmospheres under their own power, much less defend their capital ships along the way). In addition to being a diversionary attack, this move also serves to utilize the elevator, which can catapult them into space to link up with the rest of the party if they do slip past local enemy defenses. | |

Break Them by Talking | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_bf110089 | comment |
Break Them by Talking: Before fighting the Big Bad Dr. Shiki in R, the heroes are treated to a long speech on the rationale behind everything that has transpired, including the Seasons' extermination campaign against human colonists on Eria: 1.) Shiki began thinking of "liberating the colonists from the misery of war" upon conclusion that breach of the A.C.E. system by the Aggressors might take a long time but is ultimately inevitable, 2.) defending billions of human beings is not as efficient as defending a boxed collection of sperms and eggs, and 3.) removing the human presence means no more man-made pollutions or catastrophes, thereby preserving Eria's Eco-system. He goes on to portray his actions as an act of mercy for the colonists of Eria, but the heroes being heroes naturally just don't at all buy into it. Finally he proceeds to announce his intention of harvesting the heroes for body parts, a move that most likely isn't helping his cause, either...... | |

He made Belkt as a Replacement Goldfish for his son, Barrel, but was going to abandon him to try to get back to his original world and son, leaving Belkt to be hunted down by the New Federation because of his ability to control the Baldona Drive. Unable to bear what a crapsack life he's leading compared to Barrel's, he decides both worlds gotta go | |

Overly Long Fighting Animation: Strange for the type of game, but Cybuster's specials are completely overdone in R to insane levels, especialy Cosmo Nova. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: 3's final boss is Belkt piloting the Shin Dragon in its reality-shattering, Jovian-moon-destroying final form And if you're playing as the God Gundam, Master Gundam or Alstroemeia, you literally get to punch him out | |

Escort Mission | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb | comment |
Escort Mission: Quite a few, but the most frustrating is the final Eureka Seven mission in 3, due to being surrounded on all sides by infinitely respawning Corallians who can literally start taking chunks out of the Gekko Until you realize the large Coralians on the far sides of the map are Mook Makers. And that Valkyries are the best units to use against large numbers of enemies, thanks to Macross Missile Massacre and More Dakka. (And in Roy's case, nukes.) | |

Anti-Villain | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Fidel Barkhorst from 2 is a Type IV (Villain In Name Only); he doesn't want to hurt anybody, least of all the heroes, but he wants to use the Guardian System to fight off the Zentraedi in order to prove to the UCE that they were wrong to ignore his father's warnings. Marina qualifies as a Dragon-in-Name-Only, since she supports his plan fully but likewise goes out of her way not to harm the good guys, which is what ends up cluing them into her identity (if the bad guys have access to a Kill Sat, why haven't they just wiped the Albion and Nadesico off the map with it?) | |

Mundane Made Awesome: In R: Arm Slave Units cannot fly (And thus, cannot use the boost gauge), but Arbalest can go to any enemy you want it to using only its knife, and it has a handy dodge roll which can be abused to gain speed. Then when you get to the space stages the Arm Slaves gain flight (Presumably due to the lack of gravity), they also gain the ability to boost without using any sort of visible booster. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: The fate of Shin Kudo at the end of R. While he is able to go back to his own universe, the fact that he returns with the Macross Frontier crew means that he's also stuck 50 years in the future. It's implied this is because the Frontier characters filled him in on the events he missed out on, specifically Roy Focker's death and the devastation of earth in the original series. Since he'd no doubt try to prevent this the timeline kept him from doing so by sending him back with the Frontier characters to their time. Contrast Amuro and Char who are sent back to the time they left, because the Kincaid explicitly tells Tobia that they need to keep their fates from Char's Counterattack to themselves to prevent causing timeline problems. | |

Turns Red: Done in the latter two, primarily by antagonists from Aura Battler Dunbine / The Wings of Rean, who grow to gigantic proportions. Belkt's Grave Ark does this by purging its extra armor A literal example in R, as, for whatever reason, every mech turns red when using a Limit Break (and yes, they do call it that). | |

There Can Be Only One: The planned route of development for Tak's Gun-Ark and Marina's Buster-Ark is they become more powerful by fighting each other and will reach their full potential when one destroys the other, which will give the survivor enough power to blow away the Zentraedi fleet. Tak chooses to eschew this reasoning, opting instead to bring Marina around to his side and working together with everyone to bring down the Zentraedi. It works | |

Attack Drone | |
Another Century's Episode (Video Game) / int_fb9afaab | comment |
Attack Drone In the first two games, funnels are this, but they come with an immense caveat: once launched, they remain in play, firing at whatever you're locked on to at the moment for a set time, upon which they experience Critical Existence Failure. Unlike other weapons, they cannot be reloaded. 3 has funnels, as well, and the original mecha "Ixblau" has a Mecha Expansion Pack that gives it its own set of attack drones. Here, said drones return to you and recharge once they've spent an amount of time in the field, but they can also be destroyed by enemy fire...and you still can't restock them. | |
