Discussion Poll Results and Effect on Subreddit.
The poll concerning allowing AI Translation has been concluded and a vote to ban AI Translations has won by a large majority. While a lot of pro-AI people have threw a lot of personal attacks my way regardless of their understanding of the situation I also understand those individuals are the loud minority and I don't care about their opinion on the matter. We had an equal issue with a loud minority of anti-ai users attacking members as well while the civil discussion fell by the wayside for many users due to these two sides slinging barbs back and forth making the subreddit itself a nightmare to interact with. Many of you have reached out to me publicly and/or privately on here/discord/blusky/etc and were much more civil and a pleasure to talk to.
I should take a moment to talk about what 'Core contributor' are. Long story short it just means you posted and/or commented within 30 last calendar days from the poll going live. Almost every subscriber to the subreddit is not a core contributor. I have been asked repeatedly about what the metric entails and almost every person showing concern about how it appeared were unaware they also were not a 'Core contributor' as far as the sub's metrics were concerned.
Now, let me expand on what I said previously and what this will mean for the future. As many of you are probably aware I made a Human Fan Translation list detailing fan translations I am aware of through public discussion or being told privately it was allowed to be shared. I will keep this pinned and update it as need be. I have been asked by a few people to add in completed fan translation and officially released English titles.
While this information is on the Akurasu link I provided since so many have asked I will see about updating this information. Others also asked about making a list of non-translated titles... but I don't want the page to get too cluttered. Eh, we'll see.
I mentioned doing a thread for AI Translation. This is happening. I made the human list because I had the information already and I was honestly kind of tired of writing them up repeatedly every week, heh. I have been speaking to a few AI patchers doing SRW patches to gather a basic list and I will be making a similar post. No one may talk about AI patches, share pictures/video, and discuss where to find them. A lot of the AI Patch hosting sites also have ISOs/Roms which falls under rule 3 and can result in a ban. PLEASE do not mention these sites since automod is set up to ban those domain names.
While talking to a few AI patchers I have informed them they can comment once on the AI Translation list and give a very brief mentioning of the titles they worked on, a discord/website link, and a small blurb if they so wish. I have also told any AI Patcher if they do not want to be mentioned on list they can have their games remain unlisted. This is same rules for being added/removed as the Human Translation list.
The extent of AI talk is if someone directly asks about a translation you can let them know a pinned list exists and/or a direct yes/no. Feel free to say things like 'subreddit rules so I can't link', 'try google', etc. While I don't care for the AI translation patches and do not plan to ever use them as previously said I don't demand others follow suit. If you reading this want to use AI translation patches go nuts.
This does not apply to using on screen translators. They are not included in the AI ban.
Meanwhile, while on the topic of AI, Generative AI is banned outright. The sub's discord banned such images months ago and that applies here too.
The next ban applies to Human and AI translation patches. No patches based on stolen assets or require a paywall to access. Using stolen assets should be obvious and the only exception is the clear exception of Official Translation or similar level releases... if one comes to exist.
I can not stress this enough. No positive or negative AI talk. I have allowed 'neutral' talk in the lines of base acknowledgement. If someone offhand mentions they use AI no one is to attack them for this, but if the message is clearly rage baiting it will be removed too.
If you are using AI patches and have issues with it do not ask here. It will be removed under AI discussion rule. The idea is by having the patch creators share the contact information users looking for assistance can talk to them for any issues. At the same time most locations hosting these patches have dedicated discussion forums for such talk. Resources exist to help you, you'll be fine even with the ban in effect.
The AI Translation post will go up soon, uhh... maybe tonight? Tomorrow? I need to make it still and my time is limited today. (EST Timezone) This is my middle ground plan I always intended to make at minimum. If AI was allowed patch creators would be able to make posts about their projects as they go which is essentially how things went before and light discussion about said patches would have been allowed. With the poll voting for ban... this is not the case.
I will leave the comments unlocked for this post. Feel free to ask any questions here in comments or just hit me up directly. Had a busy day so hope I didn't ramble too much. Wanted to get this done ASAP since the poll was done.
Edit: I will be purging a lot of old AI posts... Nothing personal. Don't worry if you see old stuff being removed.

List of Current In-Progress SRW Human Fan Translations (Also Current English SRW games)
First and foremost, Akurasu has a list of released English Super Robot Wars games (Official and Non-Official). It would be redundant to list them here for you when the wonderful people over there already did it.
Akurasu - Link of All English Translated SRW Games
Akurasu is a fantastic source for SRW and similar games. Use them. (Feel free to donate too!)
Below I have listed what I am aware of for games that we have teams working on currently.

|---|---|---|---|
| Super Robot Wars Compact 1 | Wonderswan | 1999 | |

If anyone wants to have a project removed or added just let me know and I will adjust as requested. This is merely done as a service for the community since so many people have requested this information. The titles listed are ones I have spoken to patch creators or were informed about publicly by trusted sources.
I am not listing most Team information since this community has a very poor reputation when it comes to how they treat in progress translation teams. If someone wants to be listed just tell me.

Somebody did a SRW Z story summary.
Seems like it missed mentioning some anime series story events, but overall was a decent summary of Setsuko's story.
Worth a watch for those who don't know the story of Z, and want to know the broad strokes of what happened before the incoming Z2 remaster.
Also, skipping Z to remaster Z2 makes me wonder if bandai namco is doing a remake of Z in secret. After all, Z2 and 3 assumes both routes happened at the same time, something impossible in the game.

OG Got any strategic tips for a SRW newbie?
Just started playing Original Generations on a PS2 emulator, while the game is overall very cool. I feel like it doesn't explain it's systems and mechanics very well. (Like why can't I shoot the Guncannon expy's cannons after moving?)
Moreover, I'm the kind of guy who just hoards resources in games so I'm kinda hesitant on using the buy upgrades mechanic. Especially since I assume the pilots will get better mechs in the future? So what would be point of upgrading the starting mechs you get?
Any tips would be appreciated
Oh also I'm starting on the Ryuusei route.

Question Help with the Alpha series (PS1)
I’ve been having an issue where I am consistently getting hit while only having a 10% chance of being hit or less. After 12 missions of Alpha 1 I still have not evaded an attack. Has anyone else had this issue?

Discussion I would love a modern Srw scramble game
I really want to play the scramble series seeing your mechs fight in the background while the characters talk ans the transition to the typical main focus attacks when a character Is about to do a main attack is amazing. really adds so much weight beyond just a 2d chess game.
seeing the mechs is scale was is amazing and awesome and rhe 3d models are amazing

Question Does the SRW Y Anniversary DLC spoil too much of the Z series?
Hi.
I waited to play Y specifically because I wanted to get all DLC's and have the complete experience (I really like the game, but I feel forced to do this if they are going to include extra plot in the DLCs). I played Z1 and Z2 and Crow is my favorite main character from that series, but I noticed that in Y he is in his Z3 mech.
Should I play Z3 first? I don't mind some spoilers but I don't want to get the whole thing ruined.
Thanks!

Discussion Questioning why hasn't Bandai released X and V worldwide for Steam
So, i decided to look at these two games on Steam using a VPN because i was a little curious and now i wonder why it hasn't been released worldwide if the game does have English subtitles in them which you can see from the screenshots and this is from the Japanese steam store.

Humor Britannia should never have messed with Japan
For the lolz, I kept thinking... In SRW Z2 there were Supers and Code Geass... Britannia was trying to enslave/conquer Japan... Buuuuuuut.....
....what if the Black Knights actually enlisted Supers against Britannia in reality since most Super Robot pilots are Japanese... Yeah it'd be over in a hearbeat lol.
I couldnt find my SDCS Shin Getter 1 for the 1st pic... Sorry.

SRW V I just finished SRW V, and wow. What a beautiful game.
I bought this game in late August, and it was my introduction to the Super Robot Wars franchise. I absolutely loved it. The cast, the music, the funny dialogue, and especially the main character, Soji. I got so attached to these characters over the course of the game.
The final battle was incredibly hype, especially when the main theme started playing, and the ending was bittersweet. I seriously don't know if any other SRW game will top V for me.
I also loved the mix of series, especially Gundam, Evangelion, Full Metal Panic, Mazinger, and all the others. Seeing these different casts interact was one of my favorite parts of the experience.
Seriously, 10/10 game. I highly recommend Super Robot Wars V to anyone looking to get into the franchise for the first time.
