How are you liking the megaman robot master design entries so far?
I want a maidwo to win.
>>729050786how many are there now?
>>729050930at least 3
>>729050490Looks like a battle network design
>>729050984That's my issue with most of these. A lot of them look like BN or X designs and very few look like they'd fit in mainline Mega Man.
>>729050930>>72905096335 so far.
>>729050786What the fuck is a maidwo
>>729051661Absolutely none of these are going to win lmao
>>729051624I think having the designs look more X-like would be an interesting call forward to the Reploids since Zero physically exists at this point, but there should be some cues to make them appear like a transitionary phase between Classic and X.
>>729052039They're definitely not going to do that.
>>729051762Yeah.I have the sneaking suspicion the director's just gonna toss any girls out too.If splash woman was so great, why isn't there a splash woman 2?
>>729050490>must be suction themedThat's a kick to the creativity, they are just waiting for the very limited designs to align with what they've already decided.
>>729052263>No splashwo 2 in MM10 because Inafune doesn't want girls and inti can't make anything but Leviathan>none in 11 because they restartedThat or they'll just add new girls to the X series instead
>>729052326well probably. The stages have to have the boss' gimmick as well
>>729051661It's mostly maids...
>>729052939I mean, its always on the back of our minds.
>>729052326I've come up with three separate designs/concepts that I will not be sharing because you just know some faggot is scrounging around for ideas to copy, there's a surprising amount of room to be creative if you approach it with the right mindset.
>>729053086Bitch just upload it on twitter and link it to capcom.
>>729052939The x series has one so why not classic?
>>729052326some are creative
>>729052263>If splash woman was so great, why isn't there a splash woman 2?Some 80yo Capcom suit mandated to, for no other reason than female robot master being an Inti idea first.
>>729052105This one is pretty creative
>>729053693>>729052263Proof?
>>729053693>no more female robot masters>but now that just means they'll add more girls to X BN and SF
Man I feel like I just did the Water Temple in OoT or something, didn't expect the stage to get this intricate.
>>729054049>sliding puzzles for 10 year olds>intricatebruh
>>729051661waifu fatigue
>>729054127The camera is kinda zoomed in so it takes a bit to get where connects where (and you have no map screen like a DRPG), plus you can slide in the ice in 8 directions (not just 4 like early Pokemon) and the faucets work as switches to unlock paths.Not impossible or anything, but it's a far cry from hallway dungeons that I was playing in other recent games, demands more memorization of the whole layout.
>>729051661this is a bad message that you can only be a girl if you're also a vaccuum
>>729050490>>729051661
>>729054008
>have a really good idea I haven't seen anyone else do anything like>no confidence in my ability to draw it
>>729056787Just write timby age 6 on it, and no one will be the wiser.
>>729056787Little kids enter the contest you know.
>>729056872>>729057382Yeah, it's just personal ego/insecurity.
>>729050786>>729050930>>729051661I think they fucked up by specifying suction as an element. It's extremely limiting. There's only so much you can do with that.I don't get why they did it like this when the MM8 contest was not.Had it been robot with one long arm then we'd be seeing a lot more variety of designs and themes. Like, between suction and people being desperate for a female robot master, maid was a ridiculously low hanging fruit.
>>729057832Because limitation breeds creativity, and if there wasn't a limit there would be 300 elemental mans.
>>729057832Swordman had a basic skeleton in his contest.
>>729057943Well, it's clearly not breeding creativity this time. It's not just maids, a lot of concepts like animal trunk and black hole have become very repetitive.Like I said, the MM8 contest, which also provided templates, did it much better by the template being basic body shape allowing for the rest to have true variety.Restriction breeds creativity can only restrict so much until it becomes stifling.
>>729057832I've seen plenty of creative designs on Twitter making very clever use of the gimmick.You see 30~ maid robots in that image, but you have 200+ robots already drawn so the maids aren't even a quarter of the submitted designs. Even then, some of the maid designs are kinda creative even
>>729058108You're just not looking hard enough.
>>729058108Nah. There's plenty of creative designs around. You got some stinkers sure but the Japanese chad artists are already doing plenty of crazy designs with these limitations.
>>729057832The barrier for entry naturally would be really low and people would just send in anything, and it's a contest for just one position so they've got the other 7 covered. Giving people a framework to design around is restricting in a sense, but they're also probably just looking for whoever can pull off the most out there or interesting concept with the restriction.Genuinely, even without the suction requirement people would still send in maidbots. They'd just look more generic.
>>729058064To be fair, sword is a lot more flexible concept than "the succ".>>729058145>Even then, some of the maid designs are kinda creative evenSure, I don't think anyone's denying that, there's a lot of designs, even of the overdone concepts, that are god-tier, but the purpose of this contest, as far I know and have been able to tell, is to find a solid striking base design that then the devs will refine and modify for their purposes. I don't think they're looking for a full complete design, and if they are, that really really puts the people who can't draw for shit at a massive disadvantage which would be kind of lame.
>>729058108>being basic body shape>sword for a hand
>>729058238are you trans?
>>729051661>"So uh... my Robot Master is going to be a Robot Mistress, and she's going to be a maid!">"Her suction arm is going to be a vacuum cleaner!">"And she's going to be super hot!"
>>729058591???
>>729058108It's more because the submissions are public on social media now, so we get to see EVERYTHING.Back in the day people would send their drawings and it would be all behind the scenes, so there was a layer of secrecy.Well, I think it's cool to see all the fanart and engagement, even if a lot of ideas are similar, they still differ in execution and little details.
>>729058672>It's more because the submissions are public on social media now, so we get to see EVERYTHING.>Back in the day people would send their drawings and it would be all behind the scenes, so there was a layer of secrecy.You know, that's a very fair point I hadn't thought about.Perhaps I have been unfair.
>>729058606Capcom basically asked for maid robots when they forced the vacuum arm as part of the design. Can't even do a Flame Mammoth type since it has to be an arm.
>>729058606Roll had all this time and she didn't do shit with the succ.
>>729058606it's worse when they try to be too slick
>>729058736>Capcom basically asked for maid robots when they forced the vacuum arm as part of the design.I'd be surprised if anyone's first thought when they saw the requirements was not maid robot. I can buy them thinking of something else afterwards but there's no way I'll buy anyone telling me maid was not at worst the second or third concept they thought of.
>>729051661Capcom may as well just say "fuck it" and design their own maidbot to kill all the birds with one stone.
>>729058880tbf Capcom already did long ago just not for classic
>>729058867Its so obvious i expect Capcom probably throws away all the maid bots without even looking at them, like there's no way they weren't expecting it and probably just used it to filter out the less creative folks.
all maid haters go in the dust bin
>>729057832>>729058238All that whining just to be proven wrong
>>729058961>m
>>729059056>e
>>729058961doubt capcom wants megaman to get sucked in whole with their prompt
People are going to get butthurt when XYZ design doesn't get picked right? Like those beta Pokemon>What could've beeen!
>>729056787just do it. there only one way to get better.
>>729059098You'll see more>We were robbed!!!posts instead.
>>729059098100% They could just make a fangame that uses it, though.
>>729059098They'll get acknowledged in a non-canon Western comic 15 years later.
>>729058910Kind of but not really. Iron Maiden was a powerup armor to boost defense kind of like Zero's Black Zero armor.
>>729059736Still a real design in the game.A bit cheeky for sure, the name "Iron Maiden" (was that a localization-only thing?) and for a nurse to become a maid, it's like she's doing cosplay or something (I mean, she's treated seriously as a nurse in the story so you can't call that side "cosplay", but still both are popular among otaku culture).
>>729060070>was that a localization-only thingNo, it's genuinely called that both in Japan and localized. Doesn't really help that her best weapon were cat claws that were effectively busted enough to make her a bruiser like Zero and even after they got nerfed overseas she was still as strong.
>>729050490I forgot that this is still going
>>729060429Until the 1st of January.
>>729060363I definitively fapped to Cinnamon in my teenager years, I did this thing where I would zoom or get the camera as close as possible to female characters then fap. I did it with Fran from FF12 and my mom caught me in the act lmao.
>>729060812Yeah I'm not going be able to focus to try to make anything by then plus I was gonna do the black hole idea but someone already did that
>>729059079>g
>>729062118focus more on the look. Weapon idea is probably done anyway.
>>729063061>a
