Super Robot Wars V - New Game+ Speedrun [

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.
