>>6410999I don't know what 'different people' you've talked to.
Real Robot = units are roughly equivalent to modern military tech level (in terms of physical arms), maybe one or two experimental tech bits, but nothing too far fetched. The technology can be reasonably explained. Battles usually focus on pilot skill, battlefield tactics.
Super Robot = technology is far fetched, powered by mysterious energy sources, abilities are outlandish and ultra-powered. Battles usually focus on GUTS and SHOUTING.
Some SERIES might ride the line between Real and Super, and it's not a catchall. But any person who can't define those terms either doesn't know what they're talking about, or is just a fucking moron.
