Yeah, I was even like - ooh, Nanover looks unique! And then I was like, naw... Super Robot Wars.

No. This is the beauty of GW and Hyperbol. Twitch (self-automated APM-boosting user-responses) should play a role in RPGs. That is why games like Dissidia and SSBM beat games where you cannot gain an advantage through timing and keyboard-memorization, and finger-positioning (simple example: playing any PC versions of DDR using 2, 3, or 4 fingers).

What? Spamming skills is totally awesome! I dislike cast-lag, but everything should have cooldown.

In Hyperbol there is no wait between using skills, but if you fire everything at once, then one well-timed disruptor and your entire barrage is deflected (or perhaps negated by a black hole).

For example, games like Lunia, Maplestory, GhostX, Mabinogi, the list goes on. But who really wants their buddies walking in on them playing one of those? Not I, I say.
Yuck.
I suggest Mabinogi 2.

I personally much prefer Lunia, Maple Story, Grand Chase, Rumble Fighter, and Survival Project! It tooks years for those games to get translated, and I am still a fan of (the Korean - not the English) Nexon games.
