SRW Alpha 3 Lightning Round: Selena Stage 10 Prologue

Here's the newest video. The prologue is quite short.

Not very much to note except one thing.
- Boosted newtype are from the Gundam series. Specifically, the Universal Century Gundam series. They can also be called cyber newtypes. They are essentially, artificially created newtypes. Most of these cyber newtypes are created from human experimentation. They're created by brainwashing, genetically engineering, cloning, doping, etc. This is why Four is very sympathetic with the Coordinators.

Enjoy the video:

SRW Alpha 3 Lightning Round: Selena Stage 9 Epilogue

Finally starting to get back into my groove. I think I've got my MH3U addiction under control... There's really not much to stage 9 epilogue. There's no special notes about translation and the dialogue speaks for itself. I did have to kinda put the part where Kira and Flay cry with romanji. I just couldn't think of a proper English sound effect for crying... "Waaah" just wouldn't work.

There is one thing I'd like to note with the previous video. As it was pointed out by someone, I actually made a mistake of labelling the Super Gundam's attack as Beam Rifle when it's using the Long Rifle.

I'm looking forward to doing Stage 10 though... Start to see some of my favourite series show up.

Anyway, enjoy the video:

SRW Alpha 3 Lightning Round: Selena Stage 9 Avenger

Sorry for the delay. I had tried to get it uploaded last week but my MH3U addiction had impeded my progress greatly.

This stage was a bit more exciting because of the new original enemy units that appear. The stage is kinda divided into two parts. In the first half, you'll be fighting the Alpha numbers again. Just like in Stage 8, you'll want to use spirit commands that increase your hit rate against, Kamille, Duo, Heero, Quatre, Kira, and Mu. But make sure to save the spirit commands that give you 100% hit rate for the second half of the stage if you want to get the skill point for this stage.

Once you complete the objective, an event will occur and a new batch of enemies will appear. The challenge mission for this stage is quite difficult to achieve without abusing the in-game save and reset. Since I didn't need to get the skill points as I'm not going for the good ending, I ignored it in this stage. The challenge mission is to destroy the Varuch Ishar. However, if it's HP hits below 4000, the stage will end. So you will need to get the Varuch Ishar down to near 4000 HP and then use an attack that will destroy it in one go. What makes this hard is the unit has a barrier and high evade rate. This is why you want to save the 100% hit rate spirit commands. To do more than 4000 HP damage at once, you'll want to use the support attack from another platoon. Saving before attacking will be very helpful in case you miss or you find out you can't do enough damage.

Just be careful with the Varuch Bens. They actually have a better hit rate than normal enemies and can do some pretty good damage if you're not careful.

Two notes for translation:
 - The defeat dialogue by the Alpha numbers don't seem to change. At least with the ones that appeared here, they are the exact same as the one seen in stage 8.
 - At 1:06:03 of the video, when Ades gets damage from a Balshem, he refers to the attacker as Naturals. Don't ask me why. It is definitely not a translation error.

The video is 1 hour and 20 minutes long. I'm considering diving videos up into two parts when they get over an hour for future uploads. Remember that there are markers in the description, which you can use to skip to various event points. I've omitted the defeat dialogues for the Alpha numbers this time around as they are the same as the ones in stage 8.

Here's the video:


At this point, the video has 781 minutes left for uploading. I'll update when it's completed.
Update: Video upload failed! My stupid computer had done a windows update and restarted. I'm re-attempting to upload again. This time the computer won't be doing any damn updates... Another 922 minutes from now...
Update 2: Video has completed last night. Enjoy!
