So wait, none of Dr. Wily's robots ever hurt anyone after all his shenanigans?
>>746265312He's like Dr. Eggman, OFFICIALLY, they've never taken a life. Is it retarded? Yes.>source: my vague memory. The Eggman part is real tho.
>>746265859I mean they can still target infrastructure
>>746265312He's still responsible for billions' worth of infrastructural damage.
>>746265859i mean... eggman created the robovirus and almost ravaged the entire planet with a race of metal skinned zombies, so powerful it required supersonics full power and an amnesia arc for sonic for things to go back to normal.and since it was from the idw comics, it has to be as official as it can be. so yeah, eggman canonically HAS taken lives.
Asimov never existed in mobius
>>746265312There's no way in hell. But Capcom doesn't want to explore the PTSD all the brainwashed robot masters feel knowing they've taken innocent lives. Also, the US version of 7's ending is just flat better than the JP version. Sorry, but the idea that Rock had grown past his programming, and was going to make a choice to end this nonsense? That's the good shit right there. Three Laws can fuck off. Most of Asimov's stories were about how they were doomed to failure after all. >>746265859>he blew up the planet>but nobody died thoSega can eat a fat dick with their outrageous lies.
>>746266014Yeah hat highway in Megaman X is fucked up
>>746265859Eggmans father killed a lot of people if I recall correctly from SA2. Maybe I am misremembering. And Wilys robots hurt a lot of people indirectly if you look at the infrastructure damage they caused in the sectors they wreaked havoc in.
>>746265312What is Dr. Wily's objective even?
>>746266130We don't even have to go to the comics for this. Remember when he blew up the moon? Now, yes, that one episode of Sonic X indicates that nobody at Sega has even a basic comprehension of astrophysics, but still. Here, have ALL of the tidal waves and earthquakes! And let's not even get started on Forces, oh my god.
>>746266276Well X is a genuine global war. The thing that sets robots apart from Reploids is that Reploids have true free will. They're built to serve humans but they have the capacity to tell people to go fuck themselves. Granted their increased mental acuity opens the door for glitches, leading them to become Mavericks. But "Maverick" becomes such a nebulous term that anyone who isn't explicitly serving the interests of humans get the label. Spike Rosered wasn't glitching, he just refused to give X the rocket parts. Even threatened to call the cops when X pressed him on it.
>>746266410uh, i forget. get revenge cause Dr. Light is more popular than him?
>>746266410He vaguely wants to take over the world because he's tremendously butthurt that people like Thomas more than him.
>>746266480When the radio in Forces says their forces have been wiped out they just fainted and need to be taken to the poke center :)
>>746266527I will NEVER forgive X for Octopardo...
>>746266410Take over the world.It started as just jealousy which TO BE FAIR Dr. Light did fuck him over. Dr. Light publicly shot down Wily's double gear system, which put Wily in obscurity while Light became the shining star in robotics. Made doubly insulting when Light ended up using the Double Gear system himself.
>>746266192sure, it sounds more hardcore, but Rock aquiring enough humanity to be ready to kill is imdeed wrong. if he, roll, or any lf the RMs could ever be able to surpass their programming and go beyond, JUST ONE OF THEM, it could create an unprecedented disaster! hell! we had already robot caused disasters with King, and he, as a wily robot, still has standard programming (the stardroids, duo or EVIL ROBOT dont count because they arent earth made machines, its easy to imagine they have X-level humanlike intelligence already)tldr: if Rock could actually go beyond like the US ending of 7 implies, there wouldnt be any reason for X to exist... or ANY KIND OF ROBOT SINCE THEY WOULD KILL US ALL!
>>746265312In the OVA he would straight up kill multiple times if it weren't for Mega & Proto saving the kids.
>>746266410Datacenters on every street corner
>>746266696Well that threat could've been the reason for Light choosing to put X in the morality chamber for 30 years rather than release him as is. Did he know Wily was developing Zero and the Zero Virus?
>>746266410He's a petty bitch that was jealous that Light got all the attention. This envy was further heightened by one of Light's creations constantly stopping his plans.
>>746266276The X series are on a whole other league. People die all the time.
>>746266651Knuckles the Echidna is dead to me until they properly address that he is history's dumbest war criminal.
>>746266410The complete destruction of mankind via an extremely convoluted, 5000 year plan involving giving robots free will, having them turn against humans, having humans become tyrannical despots, resulting in multiple mass genocides, having humans combine with robots to create hybrids, flooding the earth, killing every last human alive, and replacing them with the diet version of humans that aren't really human, but something something they experience pain and death so they're more human than the people on elysium, so the whole master system has to be destroyed.It's practically child's play.
>>746267152Day of Sigma opened with him nuking a city. And let's never forget the horror that was the end of X5. Or the Elf Wars.
>>746267427And all this because he was less popular than his bestie. Bruh.
>>746267427they really need to retcon all this
>>746265312You can cause untold damage (and casualties) by just messing with the economy.
>>746267518I think my favorite part of the X portions of the Archie book is seeing Sigma being a normal dude. Also, does anyone have that page where X finds a dead civilian hanging from their own driver's seat? The body is in shadow, cause all ages, but still. Damn.
>>746267518>>746267152Or how the internet itself was destroyed, every Navi except for Bass died, and humanity was crippled for over half a year in the Battle Network series because of the Alpha Revolt.
>>746268286SciLab has to be comprised of the dumbest motherfuckers in existence. Because why store Alpha's base code on the OPEN INTERNET?!? Firewalls or no, Alpha is a doomsday event for the Battle Network universe. GigaFreeze got more security than Alpha did.
>>746265312I think collateral damage is fair game
>>746266696Mega Man had every reason to kill Wily in 7 because the system failed to contain Wily, The start of the game was Wily breaking out of prison and his robots destroying the surrounding city to cover his escape. And more importantly, Wily almost got Dr Light killed when he sent Bass there to steal the upgrade meant for Mega Man under the pretense he was their friend. So Mega was also carrying the guilt that he almost inadvertantly got his father killed by being to trusting.
>>746266764kek well he certainly has the nose for it
>we're supposed to pretend like Rock killing Wily would be a bad thing, somehow
>>746265312They more than likely did, although I don’t think the games ever confirm it either way.
>>746272314Did Dr. Wily ever give a shit about the laws of robotics? Why would he?
>>746272369I don’t think he did, he’s just saying that in order to save his bacon by trying talking mega man down since he was about two seconds from having his head blown off.
>>746266687>Shit talk your colleague's invention for not being necessary.>Use it the moment a situation arises where it is necessary.Devious. Sinister even.
>>746265312He doesn't give a shit about the laws of robotics but Megaman does. He's trying to appeal to his better nature to get out of getting what he deserves and it works (in the Japanese version)
So we're all in agreement that Light is the villain, right?
>>746273000No, no we’re not.
>>746272886>in the Japanese versionIn the US version he kills him?
Die wily, die mother fucker die mother fucker die
>>746272845Not even just Megaman.>Dr. Light: At the rate we're going, we should have all eight robots back on their feet by dinner time.>Roll: Doctor... Did you install Mega's Double Gear system into Auto?>Dr. Light: I did! I'll remove it later, of course... Just as soon as Auto's done working.If I was Wily, I'd be losing my shit
>>746265312They are called Mavericks for a reason, but MegaMan is not one so he should be operating on the proper law of robotics which he is appealing to in that moment.
>>746265859Zero killed Weil. And that was the point, that unlike X or Rock he had true free will to take a human life whenever he saw fit.
>>746273076BA
>>746273053He declares he's going to at least
>>746273305This was for >>746265312
>>746273053in the Japanese version he just goes "..." implying he's forced to agree with Wily that he can't defy the laws of robotics. The American version adds the text making it look like Mega Man has evolved beyond his programing and is willing to kill to protect his family
>>746273053No, he implies that he's still going to go through with it before they get interrupted.
>>746273305>X: What's the matter, Doctor? You look tired.>Dr. Light: You truly are just like us humans, X. (Sighs, then coughs) That's why I'm afraid that mankind is not quite ready to accept you. We are not yet mature. They may very well view your limitless evolutionary potential as something to be feared. The name "X" also carries connotations of danger.X had true free will as well. He just wouldn't do it because that's what he was taught. There was no firewalls or protocols stopping him from taking human life other than the morality testing Light gave him.
>>746273305To consider Weil still human at the point Zero kills him is being extremely, extremely generous.
>>746266764i think the megaman universe pretty much already has this even the trees have computers in them
>>746273076Realistically how less fucked would the world be if Wily died here? No maverick virus for starters.
>>746265312NYOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Zero is better and cooler anyways.
>>746273772He also killed a man
>>746266527>Biologist build robots after prototype robot meant to be and act like a real human being>new robots act like real human beings, including mutating and changing all over like real organisms doI thought Caine was a shitter for being a stupid botanist way off his field rebuilding X but now that I see it he did build the reploids correctly. the X robo terrorism is not his fault.>Marverick Virusthat one is STILL Wily's fault. HOWEVER Zero is the superior android so Wily has a point over Light. he is the bettter roboticist. As if the 999 gorillion robot masters he builds and takes over every other week to cause trouble while Light makes little boys and girls to diddle wasn't proof enough.
>>746273748Zero and the Zero Virus never exists. X is still found by Dr. Cain who still copy and pastes X's brain to make himself the "father of Reploids." His shitty copies still glitch occasionally, necessitating the Maverick Hunters. But since Sigma is never corrupted by Zero, the Maverick problem never evolves beyond the occasional broken construction bot or Reploid bugging out.
>>746265859wasn't Eggman going to nuke a city in Adventure 1?
>weebs be like NOOOOOO ロックマン WOULD NEVER SAY THAT
>>746273861Cain's problem was the lack of QA testing. Light can only be credited for the robot he actually built: X. And X never went Maverick in his hundreds of years of existence. Cain tried to replicate that but without the extra testing, it was a coin flip whether you got an Alia or a Volt Kraken
>>746274064I thought he had a space laser and was threatening to blow up the earth.
>>746273526Nah, in Teppen he straight up aims to kill Leon. And something inside his very brain shocks him. X always had a failsafe inside his head.
>>746273861>As if the 999 gorillion robot masters he builds and takes over every other week to cause trouble while Light makes little boys and girls to diddle wasn't proof enough.That is not a favorable comparison for Wily considering those 999 gorillion robot masters get low diffed every game by the same little boy
>>746274170He blew up the moon to spite Obama.
>>746273748>>746273959All the way until Mac. Mac straight up would have killed X if Zero wasn't around.
>Unlike robots, Reploids are defined by having true free will and the ability to make their own choices (unless you’re this dude, who sacrifices himself out of his own volition for the guy he was designed and programmed to kill)Maybe Wily really was ahead of the curve
>>746274304No, sratch that, Vile would have put X out of his misery without Zero around.
>>746274197>Teppennot canon
>>746274346Sigma still kept X protected
>>746274170he has had multiple space lasers but in Adventure 1 it was specifically a nuke targeted at Station Square
>>746265312wtf they've blown up like thousands of megamans
>>746273959a non-virus X world would make the Maverick Hunters look more fucked up >hey this Reploid is acting pretty funny due to glitches? time to send in the armed forces to gun him down or arrest him for life
Die Wily!
>>746274574Not to mention that a lot of them like Iris, Colonel and Magma Dragoon did it because of other reasons besides the virus.
Tell me man
>>746274169>it was a coin flip whether you got an Alia or a Volt Krakensomehow I think that the robot being a furry is almost always a huge red flag in X's world.
>>746274574The X5 dialogue for Spike Rosered is genuinely insane>Spike Rosered: What do you want with me?>X: Nothing. I just want the Orbiter Engine.>Spike Rosered: Are you a thief or something? You can't just take what you want that easily. Go home, kid. Otherwise I'll call the Maverick Hunters.>X: Do as you wish. Now. Tell me where the Engine is!>Spike Rosered: I told you. You can't get it so easily. You'll have to fight me for it.>X: If that is the easiest way to persuade you, so be it.>Spike Rosered: Hey... You'd better watch your mouth... I'll do whatever it takes to win! Let the battle begin!What the fuck X? Why do humans need to be dealt with a soft hand but Reploids need to die immediately? Rosered wasn't broken, he just didn't want to give you his shit
>>746265312In the opening of both 4 and 7 it shows cities being blown the fuck up.
>>746274878Ermm...he was infected with the ligma virus!
>>746267163>Letting Knuckles come up with your war strategyThey deserved to be wiped out, honestly
>>746274771On the one hand: Repliforce refusing to submit to an investigation was really dumb on their part. On the other hand, they weren't wrong when they said it's fucked up that they're being treated like weapons even though they have free will
>>746274878> flaming homosexual being a fag is between you and saving the world on a time limitX was pretty reasonable, tbf.
>>746274197>TeppenC'mon now, not only not-canon but also that game had a hateboner for X. As much as i'd like Nero to have a palico friend in DMC
I don't blame Rock for this that boss fight was pure aids.
>>746265859I think it is more that ROBOT MASTERS never directly harm humans (knowingly), but the non-sentient minions still can. It is also worth noting that Wily do not necessarily HAVE his own creations or bots he modify obey the laws. (Though he still likely has them do so because he is a human and he isn't THAT dumb), But Megaman being a creation under Dr.Light absolutely would be subject to them, which lets him pull that card.IIRC canonically Wily>Light in the "I IMPROVED IT" sense, like IIRC the MM2 Robot Masters are all explicitly stated to be based on, yet superior (for combat) designs to the MM1 ones somewhere, not to mention his honestly kinda insane output and the whole X VS Zero (Who is actually a Robot, not a Reploid and very capable of harming humans) thing. Wily is chronically butthurt, but he is cool too.
>>746274093On the one hand, based. On the other hand, this would make X's entire existence redundant.
>>746267689Fuck no, the 4000 years long clusterfuck is my favorite part of the setting. The fight for everlasting peace is also everlasting.
>>746274197Teppen is not canon and dogshit. Look at how they made the MMX characters look in that dogshit game. Humiliation ritual for x fans.
>>746274878That faggot flower deserved worse, desu
>>746267163>is red>uses Big (meat) Wave tacticsThere's a joke in here somewhere
>>746274325>Unlike robots, Reploids are defined by having true free willThis was always bullshit because Robot Masters clearly do have free will. Like, the whole premise for the X series makes no sense unless you assume the whole world just forgot Robot Masters existed.
>>746275491Also forgot to say, a bit thing is also that Dr.Wily doesn't necessarily WANT to kill people either, he wants recognition and show his superiority to Dr.Light and have people recognize them (and then let him rule the world) which is why settling for Property Damage until people call him cool is in character. People dying would be counter-intuitive to that goal.
>>746275189The real kicker is that the people asking them to submit had a very long history of their most prominent members ending up as either spys or turncoats. And it even happened on that very same game twice.
>>746274878Some call him Uncle Xsus for a reason.
>>746275676My favorite part was when Alia nearly T virus bombed a hotel because the staff called her fat and made BB Hood took the fall for her.
>>746275036To be absolutely fair, I cannot disagree. If I went to Resistance HQ to sign up, and I saw that Knuckles the Echidna is in charge, I am turning the fuck around and going independent. Fuck that.
>>746273959>Sigma is never corrupted by Zero, the Maverick problemSigma was already question humanity's benefit before being infected. All the virus did was remove the inhibitions. Without it all that changes is that his rebellion happens much later but there's less virus activity. At the same time because X wouldn't have a reason to fight before all that he'd be significantly weaker which may or may not affect the final result of beating Sigma.
I beat all the robot masters in Regenesis but I've only found 2 tanks, the air dash and the faster charge time upgrade. I must be dumb.
>>746275189>being treated like weaponsThey did try making their own X and if you did a comparison the MH were like a police force while Repliforce was like an unofficial army
>>746267152In the X series everyone dies all the time. Every game is like congratulation you stop Sigma but 1/4 ofnthe population is dead.
>>746267152X is basically a succession of apocalypses, Zero is a post-apocalyptic rebuild phase where everyone lives in a walled-up super city, and Legends speeds right past the eventual golden age of cyber-humanity all the way to "we got bored so died off and made mortal clones of humanity to populate our planet terrarium".
>>746278028There's an armor part in every stage, a couple require weapons and at least one requires another part you don't have. The only really dumb secret I can think of is a breakable wall on the left of the ice stage's start point I found accidentally, but I forget what's in there. Everything else is on (You).
>>746275904They have some but they're ultimately hard coded/built to do an operation but they're still stuck with the ""Asimov laws"". Reploids in general don't have that so they can freely quit/ and just act out and don't have the Asimov shit set in
>>746278052It might’ve been us only, but Repliforce existing as a failed PR response to the Maverick Hunters having a slow response time to the Doppler incident is funny.
And that's why MMBN/SF is better Megaman
>>746274093American Mega Man would say that
>>746265312not directly
>>746278305In the desert stage, I ran into a couple of stone walls that were clearly destructable but nothing I did broke it. I went back when I had all 8 weapons and none did the job.
>>746278635Green laser breaks those. IIRC in the stage with the flying ride armor there's a thin metal pipe hiding in a corner that's breakable with the ice weapon for whatever reason.
>>746267518Elf Wars was apocalyptic because it took the remaining population from X5 that varies from 50-30%, locked them underground while Zero went to sleep only leaving X to work so things weren't going to improve in the 100 years Sigma was around still until the delete key happened, and the Elf Wars kicked off that removed 70% of the humans and 90% of reploids of the remaining 30%-50% population. But that's really if Zero goes to sleep at the end of X6. He doesn't and the world relatively improves enough.
Reminder that it's 100% canon that if Light had just gotten laid and had children, he'd have focused on AI companion apps instead of robotics, Willy would not have advanced enough to create his destructive shit on his own and they would have spared the world from centuries of cataclysmic wars and death.
>>746278352>Reploids in general don't have that so they can freely quit/ and just act out and don't have the Asimov shit set inThat's not really true, though. Most reploids are still hard coded/built for an operation and any reploid that disobeys a human is considered buggy if not immediately labeled maverick.
>>746273526FurthermoreHalf his character arc is basically being unsure if he will go maverick. X4's plot is dumb as fuck. But there IS some sense in that, just as the repliforce got framed for doing what they thought was right, he could end up the same.
>>746278804He still helped make a thing that put human souls on the blockchain in that timeline.
Reminder that the X series is meant to take place 100 years in the future. This is fucking stupid for a number of reasons. A century is not long enough for things to fade into myth.
>>746278891>any reploid that disobeys a human is considered buggy if not immediately labeled maverickThat's wrong though because reploids have quit a human program (Overdrive Ostrich, Squid Adler, Web Spider as maverick hunters who work directly under human orders) or even steal from them (Marino) and aren't labeled maverick at that point. Disobeying isn't what gets you labeled it's the danger you can present with the choice.
>>746279101Look, it's Light, everyone should consider themselves lucky he only came up with some POTENTIALLY trans-humanist horror nonsense that time around. Him inventing cyber-necromancy to use it on his grandson isn't that big a deal by comparison.
>>746279321It took less than 100 for people to forget about Weil in MMZ and horse shit he caused.
>>746272369Wily does love robotics from the bottom of his heart, he sees his own created RMs as much as a family as Light sees Rock, Roll and the other RMs he made.despite all the crap Wily does, at least still during MM7 his goal was NEVER to cause genocide, just conquering the world and make the planet, specially light to grovel at his feet... something that wouldnt happen if any of either his or Light's robots were to go beyond and start killing people indiscriminately.people give a lot of flak (rightfully so) to batman and how his inhumanely strict no-kill policy has allowed murderers like the joker to cause planet wide genocide countless times. but in case of machines like megaman and such, one could easily make the argument that if he were to kill a human just once, it would indeed be the end of the world.
>>746266318>Eggmans father killed a lot of people if I recall correctly from SA2.Grandfather, and no Gerald never killed anyone. He DID work with an alien to create Shadow, but knowing that the alien was gonna come back to wreck shit, he built the Eclipse Canon. G.U.N. found out about Shadow and the other projects, found out Maria (Eggman's cousin) was killed, Gerald went insane, fucked with Shadows's memories and made a program that, if the ARK got all seven Chaos Emeralds into its system, would colony drop on Earth.TLDR; He went mad and planned on killing everyone, but never did.
>>746279321Nigga, people memoryhole things that happened in the same year.
>>746273861>BiologistArcheologist, but he was still stupid for not heeding Light's warning.
>>746274093Die Dr Wiry!
>>746279367this.Net!Light discovering how to transfer Subaru/Hub's soul to the internet and creating Megaman.exe in the process is actually a good thing and something that could be useful for many people in the future.whatever Net!Wily has done isnt really as catastrophic as the shit OG!wily has done across 11 mainline games.
>>746279701I’m not talking about that one I’m talking about the SoulNet Regal was using in BN5
>>746278804Yeah but then aliens and shit show up
>>746279321100 years from now was further away in the 80s.
>>746266318Eggman's older half was way more based in the movie
>>746273748He would have left some robot with his memories to take over him
>>746278526 America did things capcom was too much of a coward to do outside of noncanon gachashithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVUlyaQwF7w
>>746279516I think one of the Art/Lorebooks basically went in on how the Wily/Maverick/Sigma Virus was never actually supposed to spread at all and it being the way it is was due how it interacted with the improper Reploid (X) design mutating it. It was basically just "Zero Enhancement Software" or something.Which makes sense since IIRC Sigma only gets infected after he breaks Zeros helmet crystal.I mostly remember this because the fansite i used back in the day had some discourse about it, but i could be senile.
>>746275676It was really only X and Zero because they wanted to play up the ancient robot thing.
>>746280292I’m pretty sure they didn’t use that shit for the other characters due to the immediate backlash against the mpreg orbs, which is why a lot of the art for X and Zero would be angled in a way to try and hide them
>>746280256The virus itself was suppose to cripple X because of it being a Light creation. The thing with Sigma is that he was almost a complete copy of X made by Cain because he was supposedly the best reploid at the time that the virus triggers. The virus itself wasn't suppose to enhance or do anything it was just something Wily was working on at the side. It just had the side effect of fixing some of Zero's issues in the programming while also crippling him with the headache.
>>746278526I don't know why but (laughs) bothers me a lot.
>>746266410ultratonne meganigga giga asshurt at light
>>746280483In the sense because only X and Zero are the ancient ones everyone else is just a grittier reploid design. But then it just looks worse when they added the classic characters
>>746280557BASED! How many times does a supervillain escape prison before you just pull the trigger?
>>746280913Wily tanked that
>>746266410He vants to pull ze Moon OUT OF ITS ORBIT!!
Reminder that the greatest tragedy in the normal timeline is that Zero didn't survive to bang Ciel.
>>746265312Of course they fucking did, you don't destroy entire cities without casualties. Wily is saying this to Rock to save his own ass.
>>746281339It isn't the normal timeline though
>>746266676Squid Adler...
>>746281605You can but you'd have to be very particular about it.
>>746281605well technically they didn't DIRECTLY harm humans so it didn't go against their programming
>>746268445Isn't it mentioned somewhere was partly because Alpha was still part of how they made the "new" Internet? It was just neutered down.Or to put its like this, they just commented out the thing that made Alpha start running, but it (and consequently even "isolated" computers) was still the same code with the same vulnerability. WWW then chased down the Commented Code, got the McGuffins to reach its "location" and then Wily removed the "//" at HQ before sticking it back in to start COMPLETE NET SOCIETY DOWNFALL!
>>746278804>the whole mega man series is a "what no pussy does to a mf" scenariolol
I tire of Mega Man's cliffhanger endings.
>>746275904X whole premise is that robots somehow got worse over time and X is still more advanced.So yeah, RMs might also be too advanced by the time X starts.
Why the FUCK didn't Repliforce just leave? I can't get over this. Just, LEAVE, nigga!
>>746282227The tradeoff is that Wily would have Regal as son and no one likes that bastard
>>746282264Axl's fine 100 years later
>>746282393Humanity wouldn't let them. Reploids doing their own thing without humanity's approval? That's a Maverick label and execution.

>>746265312If he killed wily he wouldn't finish zero which in turn will just lead to reploids killing humanity on the spot without zero stoping them and X being too much of a pussy to do anything, Sigma don't even need the virus he was already seeing humans as an inferior race when he wasn't infected, mofo was ready to go maverick at any time.X is a fucking pushover on Z so if he somehow managed to beat sigma 8+ times on his own he would still eat shit on the elf wars.
>>746282535Not canon
>>746267152All the deaths in the X series means nothing and holds no emotional weight because we never actually see it. Humans supposedly die enmasse but it's just told instead of shown. We never actually see them die on-screen. Hell even outside deaths the number of humans who appear in the entire series in general can be counted on one hand. For how the series focuses on the war between humans and reploids the humans were just an afterthought.
>>746283446zero series is fucking fanfiction for zerofags. Fuck MMZ.
>>746283446>X is a fucking pushover on Z so if he somehow managed to beat sigma 8+ times on his own he would still eat shit on the elf wars.There wouldn't be any elf wars without the maverick virus. Sigma would just stay dead the first time since he'd never evolve into a living virus.
>>746283801canon
>>746284207Hell there wouldnt even be a first timeSigma would never revolt
>>746284207Wouldn't say the first time because the whole virus thing doesn't play until like X3. On the other hand X might probably get merc'd instead because he wouldn't have much reason to fight at first and he'd be generally weaker. There's also the fact that Vile was about to end him until Zero saved him. But definitely no Elf Wars or 8 games.
>>746284378Sigma would revolt but it'd be far later because he was already thinking of humans as inferior. All the virus did was remove the inhibitions he had.
>>746284207Bitch sigma won't even need to fight X because Vile would fuck X up without zero saving his ass.
>>746278526>>746280712Because he doodled the American version mockingly
>What do we do with this villain who tried to murder everyone >uhh let's put him in an invincible immortal robot body >great idea bro! that'll teach him!who writes this shit
Real talk. Is the story of Mega Man... good? Like yes, obviously we all care about the narrative of these games and the lore and whatnot. But is this actually good? I'm starting to think it might be kinda dumb.
>>746266130You read Sonic comics, you autistic faggot?
>>746285132I will give them the benefit of the doubt that it was when humanity was near extinct (...again...) so there was probably some kind of "ALL LIFE IS SACRED!" or "If he is immortal he isn't a human, lol" angle, still completely moronic move that ended up resulting in Biometals.
Mega Man is confirmed to now livestream his fights
>>746285336It was just suppose to be so he can never forget what he did and he was suppose to wander the wastelands forever. Officially he was supposed to be executed. It doesn't make sense but then this is Inti Creates we're talking about.
>>746285336Maybe if they're were going to plug him into a fan or a grain mill (without a functioning body) so he can do something useful for eternity it would make sense.
>>746285186Wily makes/modifies robots into being aggressive Mega destroy themYay the world is saved but wily got awayThat's it, story is not important until X.
>>746285578I think people are just messaging him. I kinda doubt Rock himself is actually streaming the fights. It's just that everyone has phones and those phones have cameras.
>>746265312AND THE MAN IN THE TOWER
>>746284464>>746284680I like to think X would still find some way to beat Vile in a Zero-less world. Hell, that's assuming X would have to fight Vile at all. In a world without the virus where mavericks are less rampant, a psycho like Vile might have been less tolerated and probably retired long before.
>>746285578>Murder cute girl violently on stream>Feed blows upA PR nightmare...
>>746285186I don't know, are monster of the week shows good?Mega Man is basically that
>>746286030>In a world without the virus where mavericks are less rampant, a psycho like Vile might have been less tolerated and probably retired long before.They would've tried patching the bug he was having instead only for it to not do much. Without the virus you'd probably see more tolerance because the viruses aren't as common so you get more room for the rabies patients.
>>746278526What would his name be lol?Hyper Man?
>>746286030Vile can beat both X AND Zero at the same time in maverick hunter X, that's the final boss fight for his mode a 2v1 that he only loses because the plot demands it but gameplay wise you beat their asses.What I want to know is how the fuck did Vile get so strong? Base Vile is much stronger than base Zero and base X.
>>746286173Said girl is a celebrity, by the way. I can just imagine her publicist scrambling to assure everyone that she's just being controlled by Wily, and that their idol is not actually a terrorist. Also, she's fine, her I.C chip is perfectly intact. Don't worry about it.
>>746286296Yeah, an episodical morning cartoon where they need to stop the villain over and over again. That's a great way to describe Mega Man. And I don't mean this in insulting way, I love Mega Man, it's story is exactly as complex as a action franchise needs to be. It's a video game first and foremost, the storyline is secondary. It's fun!
>>746285578>MegaMan executes robots for his viewers with them deciding what weapons he should use
>>746286645spite
>>746285186It is good BECAUSE it is dumb (fun). Not every story needs to be about a deep message or complex themes.
>>746285578in another thread, an anon posed that Roll managing and broadcasting MM's fights via social media is more to inspire the people and assure them that megaman is there to stop whatever caused this incident rather than Likes-for-Likes sake.tho if indeed they are using social media as a plotpoint for this game, they could make some twist where wily actually used the incident to corrupt megaman and make him evil, with the whole world watching.
>>746286909>Roll livestreams it>after skinning Tango to make a dress
I love how retarded X's comedy of errors story is
More like Dr. Cuck.
>>746285186Megaman games story is not great, but it is simple and gets its points across. from the first 6 games:MM1-2:-Evil asshole doc creates/kidnaps special workforce robots and makes them destroy crap. megaman stops them.MM3:Wily feings regret and helps his rival, Dr. light to create a giant super mech, Wily steals said mech with a whole new team of special battle bots. Megaman stops it, now aided by his new pet: Rush the robodog.MM4:Wily kidnaps the daughter of another scientist, he forces that scientist to create a new group of evil bots. Megaman stops them.MM5:Wily created a series of dark bots, one of them disguises as Protoman, Rock's older brother, blaming him for Wily's newest attack by a new robot team. the real proto unmasks the fake one and clears his name, megaman stops the dark bots and wily, alongside Rush, Megaman is aided by Beat, a robo bird.MM6:Wily kidnapped an eccentric billionaire, known only as Mr.X, dude organized a battlebot world tournament to see which bot is the strongest (insert obvious SF reference here), Wily, under the guise of Mr. X, takes the chance to reprogram the bots and cause more shit. Megaman, now enhanced with a new fusion armor system using Rush as the armors, not only stops the corrupted robots and wily again, but FINALLY captures him.
>>746286645>Vile's only non-ride armor win is non-canonPut this man on fraud watch.
>>746273076
>>746285578oh did they explain why the score counter is HEARTS?
>>746289194Wily tanked that btw
>>746278526>gaijin nose
>>746289304what the fuck
>>746287927I cant believe they did the cameras on every cop thing and put it on megaman to make sure he doesnt kill humans
>>746288540When the leader turns coat it's kind of hard to reorganize things again
>>746289537>Alright Twinklegirl Man you know the drill. Spread 'em.>Yeah I know I'm being filmed. I AM ROCK, REGISTRATION NUMBER DLN-001, like I give a fuck. Like what force in this universe could possibly stop me?
>>746266676Blame that localizer bitch lady that ruined your favourite game for a guns and roses themed joke for her BF who owned the localisation company.AI cannot replace some jobs fast enough. I don't even know why localizers still exist. Just take your project files / dialogue, put it in fucking chat gpt, boom you have like 100 languages covered in 40 seconds, including languages that don even exist anymore like Sanskrit.
>>746287927Something like that will happen, I'm 99% certain. Wily has some ultimate snafu to make Megaman look bad. And/or set up some sort of Arkham Asylum finale with Wily wanting everyone to see his 'triumph' over his ultimate foe.
>>746265312Oh boy, another episode of "Americans getting confused over localized fanfiction". Let's check the original dialogue.>"I'm sorry Rockman, I'll never do it again. Forgive me!">"You can't fool me, Dr. Wiley!">"Y-you're gonna shoot me? ME? You, a mere robot, are going to shoot me, a human!?">".........."No "DIE WILEY", no mention of the 3 laws. You're all retarded.
>>746290174Japanese Irregular names are profoundly retarded.
>>746290174>for a guns and roses themed jokeI honestly have no problem with that. It's ROCKman.
>>746290190>>746287927>elon musk is wily parallels
>>746288874from 7 onward, things try to be more darker, but the stories are still simple enough.MM7:Wily knew that there was always the possibility the Mr.X plan would fail, so in case that happened and he was captured, he made another robot team prior to that, and set them free once he got captured. at the same time, he released a robot made with similar specs as Rock and Blues (protoman), named Bass, to act as a double agent until the time was right.from the ending you can see... Megaman just had fucking enough.MM8:elsewhere in space, 2 cosmic robots, one representing order and the other representing chaos had a fight, the robot of justice got seriously damaged and fell to earth, where Dr. Light got to find it. the robot of evil was destroyed, but unleashed a series of dark energy capsules that corrupted robots around the planet. Wily discovered that dark energy, and tried to take advantage of the situation. you know what happens after...MM&Bass:King, a mysterious robot made a declaration of rebellion against the system, he managed to convince a group of new robots to join his side in the name of THE REVOLUTION AGAINST ROBOT SLAVERY BY HUMANS... it turns out King was also a new robot created by wily, so you can imagine how shit is ending.MM9:a second batch of Light RM's was created, but in the background, there were talks about the actual usefulness of robots in the longterm and if they will be viable in the future. fearing decommission, the new lightbots were easily tricked by Wily, which reprogrammed them again.MM10:a strange robot virus, that can be propagated via the air just like with humans, has been discovered, not only it corrupted a new group of robots, but also is on theverge of destroying all robots in the planet, including Roll.Megaman, Protoman go to try and stop this epidemic, even Bass reluctantly decides to give a hand... but it turns out this virus, the Roboenza, was created by none other than wily.
>>746290351they are supposed to be
>>746290361Kek
>>746290338It's like doki doki panic where even in Japan, the overseas version is more famous now. The manga from Ariga also went with the overseas version, with Mega Man contemplating killing Wily.
>>746290338>You, a mere robot, are going to shoot me, a humanAnon the asimov "laws" are a common thing in fiction when it comes to robots even if its applications in fiction beyond asimov's have been all over the place
When will we get mega man racing game?
>>746287927>all of the robot masters are influencer themed and wily is using them to brainwash the masses so rock must become the newest hottest streamer in order to spread JUSTICElmao
>>746290657i mean, Twinkle is clearly an aidoru, so you cant be that wrong.
>>746290418Light could've kept his mouth shut once and avoided all this
>>746290657Should've just called it Megaman: Liveleaks
>>746285186Not really. The main plot is almost always a Wily/Sigma pulling the same shit. I don't hate that unless it's outright insulting like MM5/6.But Capcom likes to use a fascinating mix of interesting and incoherent ideas in the background. They question free will in one game and shit out something about Evil Energy in the next. They'll go out of their way giving bosses allegiances so different they can't use the same life bar emblems then come up with horseshit like DNA Souls
>>746290657Too many retards going hurr durr Willy did nothing wrong so Megaman go around streaming the combat zones>Look what Willy actually does you retards>*footage of a sniper joe shooting a girl in the head*

>>746265312We never actually see them kill or even directly attack humans (excluding Ra Moon dropping some choppers). As far as anyone knows, they're just rampaging and causing chaos so Wily can hold society hostage. I guess.
>>746290472Fuck you Slash Beastleo sounds hard as fuck
>>746265312In the japanese version Willy asks for forgiveness and Rockman says no, but then Willy says robots can't shoot humans and rock immediately lowers his gun and stays silent. Rock can't go against his code.
>>746265312Try not to think about it too hard. The whole idea of X being the first robot to have free will is already stupid, Blues/Protoman's entire fucking character is based on his refusal to follow commands and his desire to live free

>>746268445Part of the problem is that the modern internet was built on top of Alpha. There was simply no way of removing Alpha from it entirely without completely scrapping the entire internet and starting from scratch.
>>746265312Assuming he wasn’t just talking out of his ass to try avoid getting Mega Busted, he was likely running off of Charles Manson logic where he never explicitly ordered the Robot Masters or his forces to personally attack anybody, so anyone that got harmed/killed from his schemes were simply unfortunate collateral he’s technically not culpable for.
>>746285578
>>746265312I mean, what kind of man builds a machine to kill a girl?
>>746294229Doesn't matta
>>746265312He's just surprised he's actually threatening to shot him out of his own free will. Look at his face and body language, it's clearly shock. It's why in Japanese part of the line is phrased something like >You a robot are going to shoot me a human?It's about him understanding what he's doing and still choosing to do it. It's not a glitch or something. You have to wonder if maybe Wily gets the Zero Virus Idea from this. Because the virus doesn't just drive Reploids like Sigma insane. Sigma is making a conscious choice to fuck humanity and bring about reploid supremacy. >>746274093It misses the point. He stops charging the buster and goes silent. Because he realizes he almost shot a guy by his own free will.
>>746293161from Kuwagata beetle.the whole 'making names out of animal names' thing the japanese names have is not bad. but again, some of the american names not only arent bad, but they can be fucking awesome like the MMX5 ones.as for Japanese names that are neat:Icy Penguigo (Chill Penguin)Spark Mandriller (Spark Mandrill)Storm Eagleed (Storm eagle)Launcher Octopould/Octopardo (Launch octopus)Magna Hyakulegger (Magna Centipede)Bubbly Crablos (Bubble Crab)Frozen Buffalio (Blizzard Buffalo)Screw Masaider (Tunnel Rhino)Scissors Shrimper (Crush Crawfish)Gravity Beetbood (Gravity Beetle)Explose Horneck (Blast Hornet)Storm Fukuroul (Storm Owl)Cyber Kujacker(Cyber Peacock)Hellride Inobuski (Ride Boarski) (also, the most METAL of all the names so far)Darkneid Kamakil/Kamakill (Dark Mantis)Gigabolt Dokragen (Gigabolt Manowar)Ice-Snow Yetinger (Avalanche Yeti)
>>746265312>Robots cannot harm humans...
>>746292237The way I made sense of it is if free will means ability to disobey your programmed directives. For all his rebellious attitude, Blues is always around to help out the rest of his family. Maybe that's why he's so fucking irate and distant all the time: he couldn't change if he wanted to, and resents it. It doesn't seem like he'd turn on Rock or Light if he could, but he'll never know.It also explains Bass barely doing anything his creator says. If Wily designed him to beat Mega Man at all costs, that makes perfect sense. If it won't give him the edge against Rock, he's not programmed to care.It's only the side games where stuff breaks down. King is questionable. The Game Boy games were outsourced but if Ballade is canon it pretty much torpedoes the whole thing
>>746294679Hi, I'd like to report a maverick sighting. Thanks.
>>746294853That's not any better. If anything that makes it way the fuck worse. It turns the entire original series into some weird proxy war between Light and Wily using a bunch of unwitting robots.
>>746294679It's not that they're unable to, it's just that doing so will force them to experience the sensation of being kicked in the nuts.
>>746294417The good doctor has to pay
>>746295142HE DESTROYED THE SCROTUM AND ESCAPED TO THE FLOOR
>>746295142Sorry, due to the rising prices of semiconductors we're now only allowed to leave them off with a small reprimand. Shit's getting expensive to rebuild.
>>746294627WILD Jango clears
>>746294853Don't see the difference between robot masters and reploids like the difference between 0 and 1. There was not that massive of a gulf between the two. Only reason reploids came out a hundred of years later is because everyone but Light and Wily were too stupid to make reploid tier robots. Had he been irresponsible enough Light could have kickstarted mavericks a century early. Robot masters were almost almost there.
>>746295363>guy that's one of two absolute fucking pain in the asses to repair saying thatThe audacity.
>>746289304They're Likes.
This game is kinda bad.
>>746295742X2 and X3 are just treadmill games, they were completed quickly and farmed out as fast as humanly possible. They are still OK but pale very badly in comparison to X1.
>>746285578He's a nuisance streamer?
>>746265312reploids on the other hand?
>>746295239Not exactly, ultimately megaman made a choice within what was allowed of him. He chose to ask Light to make him into a combat robot to stop Wily's evil ambitions. He could have just tried "helping" in other ways but he ultimately made a choice. He can't make "any" choice like X though who ultimately just hung up his blaster decided to go on a long extended vacation as a fairy until a rogue janitor killed his napping ass.

he was not lying
>>746295239Eh, that would make the only bot particularly conflicted with their purpose Blues, the prototype. Mega Man loves helping people so much he voluntarily takes up fighting to help more people. Bass loves fighting Mega Man, he just hates not winning. For most Robot Masters, their function is their personality. There's no dissonance.The Mega Man 9 bots were so content with their lot their response to hitting EoL and being told they were about to get fucking slaughtered was>okay, sounds fairWily couldn't even sell them on revenge, he just told them he'd make them useful again and they fucking love being useful
>>746295142I’d say he’s a Robot Master, as he’s not based on an animal:>Denji Man (DLN-69)>A rejected Robot Master initially designed as part of a project to create as the ultimate security guard, one who could incapacitate organic dissidents with a single, non-permanently injuring blow to their most sensitive area.>was eventually scrapped due to the ineffectiveness against inorganic dissidents with no sensitive areas to strike and organic dissidents wearing adequate protection, as well as rising concerns about making a robot whose only purpose was to kick things in the nuts.
Asimovs bs only applies to mechs that didnt have it overwritten. You can tell me for a second the mech enemies in the stages wouldnt kill humans if their logic decided for it? Like a Met just blows a dudes head of with its plasma blaster
>>746296960humanity is nothing but animals
>>746265859>The Eggman part is real tho.PINGAS if he real
>>746296905That's just how machines work If you take an unfiltered bot it will revel in nothing more than being told it's doing excellent, no matter how absurd it is. Revenge isn't shit.
>>746297016>>746293827’s explanation seems to make more sense.
>>746294853>King is questionableThere's nothing questionable about King, his rebellion was all part of Wily's keikaku. King was ironically still following his directive.
>>746295510That isn’t public knowledge
>>746297382Zero invites everyone to pay their last respects every six months or so, but it just never sticks.
this is why mavericks exist11 was great
>>746297780>Rock and Roll look like humans>Auto actually looks like a robotWhat did Light mean by this?
>>746297078Wild animals then, Dr. Wahwee.
>>746265312Wily probably doesn't program Asimov's laws into his robots. After all, Zero killed Weil (though that could also be interpreted as Asimov's 0th law). He was just assuming Light did.
>>746297929We don't know who made Auto.
>>746298169Really? I always assumed Light built him
>>746297183Yeah, that feels like roughtly the distinction being drawn between the Robot Masters and X or Zero, who are just metal people.>>746297381I was tempted to point out how absurd it would be for Wily to design his fake rebelling robot to survive his own self-destruct sequence and run off in secret while writing friendly letters to Mega Man. Then I thought about it and he probably would
it's funny how both in the reveal trailer and now this, twinkle's stage is the only one ever shown off. The rest must be deep in development
>>746296342Wouldn’t they only psychos because Wily reprogrammed them to be psychotic and violent?Running on their original programming by Dr. Light, almost all of them would likely be aghast by their behaviour during the Wily Wars.
>>746265312Wily is Thief,Given how the majority of Wily's robots were stolen and reprogrammed, I'd say he's facing massive fraud allegations.Being fair, Wily's legit. The first game, he wasn't trying to specifically beat Mega Man, he just wanted to ruin Light's reputation and take over the world in the process. When he actually had to invent Megaman Killers, he popped off with the Yellow Devil, then made a machine to copy Megaman down to his weapon stealing powers. All the Wily Castles? All him. His Wily Machines mog the masters when he gets serious and has to get his hands dirty.
>>746297929Auto's not a robot master, he's just a plain old robot. He's barely sentient.
>>746278120Only a quarter? Rookie numbers.
>>746298557What was his fucking problem?
>>746266410>What is Dr. Wily's objective even?Being better than Dr. Light, even from beyond the grave

>>746298643Bro just wanted to get paid. He was the only guy smart enough to actually get the fuck out after getting his ass kicked instead of sticking around and getting executed
>>746267152If I remember correctly, X or Zero say the word “Damn” in one of the games.
>>746298468Funny how the whole series might’ve been avoided if Wily either sued Dr. Light like a normal person or honed his penchant for defensive architecture and security measures and started a career with the military.
>>746270883She cute, make her an assistant to Light or Cossack. Such a cute female scientist.
>>746266410Make a better machine than Light and at the end of the day, he absolutely did.
>>746298347He was just there one day, they never bothered to explain where he came from. Assuming Light built him was just a safe bet but he doesn't have a DLN but then again so doesn't tango

>>746296342Well obviously I wasn't talking about the MM2 RMs. I ain't about to pretend Quick Man gives a fuck, for example. Wood Man would go full eco terrorist if given the chance, and let's not even get started on Bass. Proper chip off the old block that one.

>>746299339https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYsulVXpgYg
>>746299292I can hear this webm.
>>746299540Oh my god, he killed Kenny!
>>746299540
>>746285186Mega Man is actually relatable to real life with the rise of robots and technology progressing at a decent rate. It can somewhat be compared to our technology. 20XX is the same year every classic game takes place just the same century we’re in right now.https://youtu.be/04bMZHKaBVE
>>746300038mmhmm
>>746298985>if Dr. Wily was able to put aside his hatred of Light, he could’ve become the Jinpachi/Heihachi of his setting
>>746265312Apparently? Although I'm sure Wily would have nodded that out
>>746267163>>746275036>>746277542>be randomdude the anon-imal>go sign up for the anti-eggman resistance>some red guy is talking about how he intends to zerg rush eggman's army>someone asks what he intends to do about eggman's superweapon>"well duh they cant kill all of us">... us?>nope the fuck out of there
>>746266192It would add some uniqueness to Mavericks, in that sense. That they are robots who have gotten enough free will to kill humans while Wily uses robots to take over places and his deals with the alien guy or the ancient Egyptian robot is augmented in that it means they can kill humans.It also sidesteps the whole Dr Light not wanting Wily dead thing if Wily isn't actually hurting people.
>>746265859>flooded station square in Adventure 1>laser piss on Adventure 2>literally split the planet in Unleashed>took over almost the entire planet in Forces>Metal Virus in IDW>probably a bunch of other shit toothere is zero chance Eggman has not indirectly killed a shitload of people
>>746285186No, but the post-Classic worldbuilding is surprisingly in-depth for what deviated from a series with saturday morning cartoon logic without serious story-telling. Not saying that they're well-written, but the classic Megaman verse has surprisingly deep ramifications lorewise.
>>746266547I thought it was like a family tradition
>>746282393why the FUCK didn't they just rebuild Repliforce once Sigma was exposed as the one behind its corruption? it's not like the androids stay dead in this fucking series.
>>746295984First X game I played was Mega Man X3 as a rental from blockbuster in 1st grade. Terrible proposition value for a newcomer into the series since I didn't bother with the franchise until a decade later.
>>746297523I doubt it's much of a problem ever since the Giga City detail. The group found a nurse that can fix him and X somehow. Crazier still was her somehow developing a new fangled force metal specifically just for him but can't or won't for anybody else.
>>746267427I thought Wily simply (or perhaps originally) just wanted to one-up Light.The “make Humanity extinct” angle wasn’t a thing until Dr. Cain came along, stole Light’s research and sent an unprepared Sigma against Wily tech without heeding any of Light’s warnings.
>>746301201Funny story. After an incident between X3 and X4 it became illegal to revive reploids, and there's no point in reviving repliforce when the maverick hunters ended up being superior anyway.
>>746300219>his hatred of LightI like that Wily's not even characterized as wanting to kill or hurt the guy, he just wants to prove that he's better. And the only way he can conceive of winning on his own terms is beating Mega Man with a wave of ~8 robots and a ridiculous fucking fortress. He thinks his initial idea should have succeeded and he's going to prove it by repeating it over and over until it works
>>746300038>picYou now remember Maverick Hunter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olYCsHuqjOo
>>746301506wily might be the biggest hater in any video game, MMX implying he's cheated death and digitized himself to keep hating
>>746274385>>746274170No one is saying he hasn't tried...
>>746301201Can anyone revive reploids besides Sigma, whose crew is presumably part of some horrible virus gestalt? X and Zero survive impossible shit but they're not even reploids
>Dr. Light>Bad Point: DouchieWhat did they mean by this?
>>746274385>Tries to Nuke Station Square>It's a dud300 IQ btw
>>746301478Well that makes Iris's suicide by green tits much more painful to Zero since he gets to be rebuilt every weekend meanwhile her innocent fucking ass has to obey shitty bureaucracy that keeps causing reploids to demand ri- I mean go marverick.
>>746302131Lots of scientists CAN revive Reploids, it's just illegal to
>>746302131They can but it's not legal after the Erasure incident that involved messing with the DNA souls of reploids. Zero's revival happened in X2 so it avoided that law and he was reported as MIA in X5. We don't know who repaired his ass but it's implied Wily somehow.X was also reported as MIA during X5 before Light repaired him and he showed up again with the hunters.
>>746302179He's a bit of a proselytizer or holier-than-thou in the JP card iirc
>>746299354Wasn't that comic meant to take a piss on IDW's sanitized as fuck Sonic?
>>746302468>light>wilyaren't those old farts dead? I thought the holograms were recordings
>>746266410What's HIS story?
Since we're talking about how fucked up the X era is, it's hard to tell because X6 was translated by an ape, but Ground Scaravich was labeled a Maverick because he tried to investigate the site where Cain found X and that place is apparently illegal to step foot in. What's up with that?
>>746302392>>746302468Thanks. That's so dumb I didn't want to believe it
>>746302342>Iris's suicide by green tits much more painful>let Colonel go full retard even though she could contact him any time to get him to stop while hounding Zero to not fight her brother while effectively just standing at MH HQ
>>746302573Hologram Light was actually an AI hence why he keeps making new shit for X. Wily basically became a body hopping AI that was Serges during X2 and Isoc in X6 and then vanished from the plot, never to be seen again.
>>746302573Originally but somehow the hologram seemed to turn into an AI or was Light's AI that got ghost powers. Wily is somehow a Force ghost or something that's possessing reploids
>>746302573>LightDefinitely dead. The Light you see in the X games is just a super advanced AI that can still create armors for X and even repair him>WilyX2's Japanese dialogue pretty much confirms Serges is Wily. The bastard found a way to transcend death so he could continue being a vindictive ass a century after his death.
>>746302208>gave millions of people the scare of their lives without actually turning a chunk of the planet he wants to take over and rule into a unusable radiated shitholeI dunno I kind of vibe with itAll I know is if I was Eggman’s I’d use all his robots and weapons just to fuck with people and not actually do anything that warrants Sonic showing up and cleaning house
>>746265859There was a crossover comic where they teamed up, wily got freaked out eggman was just immediately committed to murdering his enemies.
>>746302643He wasn't actually labeled a maverick. It's more like if there was a law where you can't enter Area 51. If you see your neighbor as a civilian or if a civilian catches you doing it they kill you on the spot like the military does. The area is just considered off limits but he walked in anyway.
>>746302772if wily was serges why the hell would he subjulgate himself to sigma, or face X without a robot army?
>>746303069Maybe he was just pretending.
>>746303069its called we do a little trolling
>>746302179>Like: InternetThe original universe would be much more peaceful if he followed through with his passion like his Battle Network counterpart...
>>746302653It's because of reploids being considered individuals and X's tech being advanced to generate something like it. Ideas are sometimes taken that the whole Classic justice/evil energy from space thing played a part with the whole thing.
>>746303069Their objectives aligned and Sigma was much stronger than him so yeah
>>746303431both Megaman 8 and Megaman X4 were made as the flagship games for the series 10th anniversary. indeed it was planned that the battle between Duo and EVIL ROBOT as well as the release of the dark energy capsules was gonna be linked to Zero's deal, the repliforce, HoloLight and Wilyvirus and all that, but they scrapped it.
>>746303708>Duo and EVIL ROBOTmakes me giggle every time
>>746303708Wily making the virus out of evil energy would explain how it can fucking warp space and create weird ass levels when there's enough virus in the air.
Bomberman 64 has some mm vibes or am I crazy?
>>746303914both BakuBom/BB64 1 and 2 are considered darker games than previous entries, SPECIALLY BB64 2.
>>746303029So either Dr. Cain explored the site and found X prior to it becoming off-limits, or he illegally pilfered X from the site and lied to the gov’t by claiming he found him and Light’s research otherwise?
>>746302772>stealing zero parts was really just so he could reunite with his sonTragic
>>746304451Nah he just wanted him and his last son to dab on Light's last son.
>>746303914They're both little anime robot people, I guess? I don't see any strong parallels
>>746303069I think the best way to look at Serges is as a completely new entity, just with Wily’s knowledge and quirks (his intellect, his hatred of Light/Light’s creations, his tongue taunt, etc.)
>>746304394It's more like the law wasn't in place at all until reploids were developed.
>>746265312I mean it’s still a kids franchise
>>746286751why do people keep spamming this chick everywhere? her design looks like shit.
Hear me out. Twinkle Girl and Sonia Strumm collab.
>>746266410sex with Roll
So if they’re just “techniques” (most of them don’t even consume special energy) are these just things that are baked into Zero’s design? Like he could’ve hypothetically just done this from the start
>>746305317He needs the creativity, he gets that creativity by cutting open mavericks
>>746305317In a way but not really. It goes back to Zero design where he's basically running a full damage capacity but his cap is extremely high which is different from X's cap constantly raising from low to higher. So to get "stronger" he combines what he learns and gives it different applications. >Like he could’ve hypothetically just done this from the startPossibly but it's more like practiced. over and over like a martial artist does. If you want an example you can look at his Command Arts in Command Mission. His attacks have an upper cut, the stab forward, the stab to the ground, and the spinning air slash.
>>746302881>Light>Definitely dead. Didnt he save X?
Reminder that Wily's Robot Masters are innocent rescued outmodes, who were otherwise destined for the scrap heap. Dr Light is the bad guy.
>>746305317Zero is forgetful.
>>746302881They're both cyber elves up until the elf wars.
>>746305274true!
>>746291338>hardman and topman were in the same gamewhat were they thinking
>>746286751Anon...vilent deaths are pretty normal in the idol industry. At least her fans got to see her graduation consert. Most just get feed to the Yakuza sharks at Tokyo bay behind camera.
>>746299170Beat was canonically created by Dr. Cossack, btw. But yes, for Megaman's sake.
>>746306412>vilent deaths are pretty normal in the idol industryNo they're not retard.
>>746265312>Luckily you're a Jew, Dr. Wily!
>>746289194>>746289328>Ach, good thing I wore my anti buster briefs! *does his eyebrow thing*
>>746291119I think he wants a new (and good) game.
Dare I dream of what may happen if MM12 sells well?
>>746265312I'm pretty sure he is just appealing to Mega Man here, the villain wouldn't ever do something evil would they (like removing the limiters stopping robots from harming people)?
>>746306583
>>746289304I prefer to think they're all from Roll. I don't care about anyone else's opinion as long as she thinks I'm cool
>>746301779>killcam animations>platforms>dash in the air>grabs on ledgesdude this is literally nudoom wtf
>>746304839So, the first thing. Cain’s actions and the Maverick uprising led to the area being cordoned off so no one else could swipe more of Light’s stuff and potentially repeat Cain’s mistakes, but by then it was already too late.
>>746266192Also, how many people did Chaos inadvertently kill? The entire city, the entire planet it looks like was flooded and everything was destroyed.
>>746307769It's more that after Cain found the area and reploids were beginning their production that the place was closed off to everyone but a few people high up in the government. Really just to prevent crazier shit from happening because of the warning because even though Cain didn't do stasis testing he believed in Light's tech. It's also the reason reploids don't even know that their bare software is derived from X's core programming.
>>7463050791. Twinkle Girl was the winner of the fan-made RM contest Capcom held2. Vacuum Woman, the fan-made RM everyone who didn’t vote for TG wanted to win lost, so they’re making do with TG3. most Megaman gooners have VERY low standards, one of the characters they spank it to is a robot specifically designed to look like a 10-12 year-old
>>746308007>All's well that ends well!I fucking hate you, Tails. Even if we assume it was "just" Station Square, they'll be pulling bodies out of the water for months.
>>746308462>1. Twinkle Girl was the winner of the fan-made RM contest Capcom heldNo she wasn't. She was designed by Capcom.>2. Vacuum Woman, the fan-made RM everyone who didn’t vote for TG wanted to win lost, so they’re making do with TGThey haven't even announced the winner.
>>746308498Funnily enough, one of the early issues of the Archie Sonic adaptions of Unleashed pseudo-addresses this through Sonic and friends running around a city rounding up civilians in the initial aftermath of the planet splitting apart.Of course Sonic being Sonic, there’s still no visible/stated mass casualties but it’s probably the closest the series will ever come to actually addressing the cataclysmic fallout that would occur from stuff like Chaos or Dark Gaia even if they’re beaten.
>>746308823Sorry my bad, I thought that’s why Twinkle Girl suddenly blew up.
>>746266192How the fuck does the planet recover from this?
>>746307161I'm not even sure we're getting our own collection.
>MML gets a collection>after you beat 1 and 2 the 3rd game gets unlocked>MML3 is shadow droped inside the collection
>>746309454>3rd game is unlocked>Its just an ancient 3ds tech demo
>>746309454>keeping a sequel a secret and just marketing the 20+ year old games insteadThis industry doesn't work like that, but imagine if it did.
>>746309087Yes, I'm aware. I very much appreciated this sequence and this whole storyline, frankly, because it doesn't lie to my fucking face about it. Especially like the line here where it says the city still hasn't fully recovered from Perfect Chaos.
King Man
>>746309352This is fanart, and I can still hear it. Is it too much to hope that Capcom has finally realized how stupid they were for shitting on Mega Man for so long? Money is money, morons.
>>746310131I wish they'd just release a spinoff collection that included a translated SNES & Bass and other such desired spinoff titles like battle and chase, network transmission, command mission and that soccer game.
>>746309178In part it's because she's a new RM. In another it's because she's a new RM that basically got an X Buster charge shot to the face with the Override system.
>>746286751Big Sexy Bulky Legs
>>746299609
>>746274878That's because X5 was supposed to be the prelude to the Zero series.If you read most of X's conversation with the mavericks in this game, he is no longer the "please stop! we don't need to do this" guy who would use violence as a last resort, he is more of a "you're not gonna do what I asked? get fucked!" type of guy, which hints that he has completely ran out of patience and is starting his dictator arc.Of course we all know MM Zero ended up chickening out from making X the big bad but it kinda adds up.Either that or it is just shit translation again lmao
>>746273076>this wily is a robot>mega man can kill robotswhat's the issue?
>>746310339They look like big pants to me. I like it.
>>746310307Megaman is more like a AA game. It doesn't sell millions upon millions of units, but they definitely profit off it enough to justify making them. Legends is even more niche though, I want it super bad but I have no delusions that it's this huge thing that would drive sales to people not entrenched in the series.
>>746273748If they accidentally stumbled upon proto zero he would kill everybody without any means to stop him
>>746310402To be fair most mavericks from X5 were basically terminally ill and going insane. It was just mercy killing a good chunk of them save for the ones that were already up to illegal shit beforehand.
>>746310587:D
>>746305079>why do people keep spamming this chick everywhere?I fucking wonder why people keep spamming images of a NEW BOSS in the MM threads after 8 years of not getting anything new that's not gacha shit.Like yeah, I think her design is insanely safe and doesn't fit a robot master, but of course people are gonna discuss and post about this girl.
>>746310402X5's more like a mess where Inafune WANTED it to be the direct prequel to MMZ but he didn't actually direct anything to set it up while ironically the game done behind his back does the tie in a lot better. There's also the fact that a space colony was going to hit Earth so the patience was kind of gone but he still asks the normal bosses to cooperate instead but when they say no it's just gloves off.
>>746310587>>746310339I wonder if this is sexual dimorphism for female robot masters*? Splashwo and Twinkle both don't have the traditional robot master leg designs. I doubt it but fun thing I noticed
>>746266410Giving robots free will. Actual free will instead of Light's "free will" that included decades of brainwashing X to be exactly what Light wanted him to be.
>>746311013Just design choice because of their jobs. It's like how Plum has smaller boots.
Sigma did nothing wrong.
wtf he shrank
>>746310925>the patience was kind of goneImagine having no patience causing a fight because you called somebody a slur.
I feel like the Mega Man franchise could take place in the 2030s that's the decade when all of the humanoid robot stuff is probably going to be released to the public on a massive scale.I also regarding Robot Master AI. They're able to think exactly like a human does, and have emotions, dreams and desires. Roll actually got philosophical about her own mind... but uh... it caused her system to crashThat's canon by the way.
>>746311660>Roll actually got philosophical about her own mindMake her think too hard and she blue screens. Now she's just posting videos of robot fights to stop thinking.
>>746280483>mpreg orbsWhat is this?
>>746302468Metal Shark Prayer
Americans can't comprehend the idea of a children's series running off of silly children's cartoon logic. It's like Team Rocket getting electrocuted, burnt, frozen and blasting off at the end of every single episode. Realistically, they should be dead, but you people never bitch about that, do you? You people genuinely, GENUINELY fucking believe that games like classic Mega Man and Sonic the fucking Hedgehog aren't fucking made for 8-year-olds.
>>746302772
>>746311808The instant they found out he was messing with DNA souls they scrapped his ass. Gate revived him but Gate by that point was already going maverick himself.
>>746266192I think it's funny that people are so incredulous at the idea that the fracturing of the planet is Sonic Unleashed caused no lasting damage, when the game itself shows this to be the case. College students are just attending classes completely normally as if the world hasn't completely gone to shit. It SHOWS us this, but you guys still believe that 99% of the planet is dead.
>>746266130IDWslop is only soft canon. A better example would be eggman summoing Dark gaia. that DEFFINETLY killed at least a couple thousand>>746299354>Archie out of fucking NOWHERE
>>746266130FINALLY someone who reads the comics. Can you please explain pic related?
>>746312202It clearly didn't. Realistically, the fracturing should have killed literally everyone on Earth, but life just continues on as if absolutely nothing wrong. Global trade infrastructure apparently hasn't been harmed at all. That's the logic we're working with here. There should be chaos on the streets, everything should be shut down, literally everyone on Earth should be dead, but nope. It's like how in Dragonball, when Muten Roshi destroyed the moon and absolute no harm was done to the planet at all, even though the consequences should have been catastrophic.
>>746280080I liked Carey's prefomance but geralds writing was super toned down. His motivations aren't as layered and I can't imagine him scaring any kids like the original did
Poggers
>>746311762So when they first released Teppen because X and Zero were suppose to be ancient robots they designed them differently than their normal appearance including a sphere gut. Reploids didn't have that issue and then they released the classic characters near the end not having the round gut either. It was an early design choice.
>>746303708>10th anniversaryRank all the anniversary artworks
>>746274878I understand in X1 X havind his identity being hidden but no way by X5 he isn't known by everyone. He literally saved the world four times by then
>>746306361You’re showing too much skin Roll, Humans will look at you in all the wrong ways.
>>74631314320th > 15th > 10th The rest are equally soulless.
>>746311198I took the test for more like>if you ever go full villain, at least do it for a reason instead of being a psychoinstead of brainwashing
>>746307161I might be overestimating but what if it outsells MM2 and MM11 COMBINED
>>746267928I thought Zero was nuts until he gave Sigma the STD?
>>746310402>ended up chickening out from making X the big badThank god for that. It would feel forced af. Sometimes you gotta let the moralfag be just that
>>746310131Now we need a Queen WomanOh wait that’s just Berkana
Wo Man when?
>>746313672No. There was a prominent theory where people believed that the reason Zero was insane was due to the virus, and that when Sigma shattered his forehead crystal, the virus transferred from Zero to Sigma. Which, if you think about it, would be an incredibly silly way for a virus to work. Viruses are supposed to propagate. If infecting someone else somehow disinfected the previous individual, then what the fuck's the point?
>>746310402Everything wrong with X5 summed up herehttps://youtu.be/vIWonYXyQP8?is=ORrGECj-9r-ODFcb
>>746274093This localization is silly because Rock still does nothing afterwards like in the original.
>>746313947So how did Zero get better and how come Sigma can't get better?
>>746311609That was always weird to me, it was big scary and menacing in the intro, but doesn’t seem that intimidating when you fight it.
>>746314142>So how did Zero get betterThe virus patched up an issue from Wily's coding>how come Sigma can't get betterBecause the virus was suppose to infect Light's bots and Sigma ironically being Cain's most successful copy close to X triggered the virus. Then it mutated with Sigma.
>>746314336>"that's right, I just killed that cute girl"
>>746314336>Finna dab on this corpse for the views
>>746312012It's almost like Unleashed is a shit game or something.

>>746309218if the explosion spreads the debris of Earth too far it's fucked. If it doesn't, eventually the planet will reform with a few new satellites.

>>746314853>his sister streams the carnageHave you seen her skin Tango just so she can dress up like some girl from 200 years in the future? Those kids ain't right, tell you hwat.
>>746278492BN is the only series where Wily or the main villain gives up and reforms right?
>>746315105I like to imagine that Tango ain't dead after that, and all his servos and pistons are just exposed now.
Can reploids fuck???
>>746273861For a while it was theorized that the maverick virus was actually DA EVIL ENEGY from mega man 8.
>>746315417What kind of idiot makes a robot you can't fuck
>>746315417Yeah, they eventually evolve into carbons which are just humans with better cybernetic compatibility.
>>746315417Iris and later Layer want Zero's Z-Sabre inside them so I would assume so. Giving Reploid sexual urges without giving them an outlet for them would just be cruel.
>>746265312So do humans bother fighting Mavericks in X themselves or are they literally just relying on machines with free will to do everything and expect it to go smoothly?
>>746315332I like to think they have to fish him out of whatever ravine he rolls himself into since he's a retard that runs straight into bottomless pits.
>>746303024That was Archie Eggman, who's literally an interdimensional robot wearing a skinsuit because he already destroyed his home dimension. That's not even remotely "canon".
>>746315605For most of the x series the humans are hiding out in shelters.
>>746315605The mavericks end up being too strong and since they think like humans they probably get creative in fights too.
>>746315605Humans are lazy fucks all they way to Z where they actually start getting extinct and wake up, alas it is too late for them.
>>746315597Iris did get the saber just not the way she expected.
>no racist and xenophobic gf who wants a world just for your species.
>>746315417dunno but you got Iris Layer and Cinnamon liking Zero so that might be a start. Though in Iris's case she's like the other half of a failed Copy X experiment, Layer is a reploid from who knows where but probably had standard maintenance and Cinnamon was created by a platypus scientist
>>746265312>shoot exploding barrel that harms the humanEat it wily
>>746312249This should provide you with all the answers.
>>746316013Nate Morgan is the dumbest most out of place character in comic book history
>>74631560560% of humanity is dead by the end of X
>>74631617860 percent? That doesn't sound too bad.
God I'd zero out in Zero.
>>746316178That was only the mess that happened in X5-X6. By the later games humanity is starting to come back up. X7 they're still hidden, X8 nature's already starting to bounce back up but humans want to go to the moon, and CM humans have more space elevators, an artificial island to study new material and the environment generally being better thanks to cyberized fauna. Humanity bounced back in X, while in Zero that 40% got reduced by 70% so you got stuck with 12% of humanity left.
>>746316494and nature only starts coming back slowly in a specific place that you have to protect in Zero 4 and the colony is still fucking there. Someone should take it down.
Isn't it wild how the most we see of humanity in the X series is at the very beginning in X1's intro stage where they're fleeing the city?
>>746316494Command Mission's a split timeline. X8 and Command Mission were more or less designed concurrently with different teams and there was no communication between the two. The Command Mission team was given absolute freedom to do what they wanted, but this level of freedom usually comes with the caveat that the "main" team has absolutely no reason to give a shit what they're doing and thus doesn't have to follow up on anything the spin-off team does.
>>746315593We already went over this. Carbons are humans. Not robots. Please get your weird robotization fetish away from me.
>>746266130thats retarded comic shit, and i dropped that comic specifically because of that storyline (although I already didnt like it).
>>746316747In particular, Command Mission allegedly takes place after X8 thanks to the presence of multiple Space Elevators, but it's obvious that the Command Mission writers has absolutely no fucking idea about the whole "New Generation Reploid" plotline in X8.
>>746316747Command Mission is a split time from Megaman Zero since they both occurred in 22XX. For the record X8 is still 21XX. Besides that Capcom's been pretty much putting CM as the included part of the X series.As for MMZ with how much it alternated its story in the dates it either wants to stay in 22XX or because of ZX it bumps itself to 23XX, while alot of the details for it rely on X5-X6 being the end point for X.
>>746316974>the Command Mission writers has absolutely no fucking idea about the whole "New Generation Reploid" plotline in X8There wasn't anything about the new gens being an issue between the two games. All X8 did was have them go maverick at will and Axl being the prototype, while CM just had Axl look for clues of where he came from since only the copy chip was developed in the island. X8 also ends with New gens being stopped from being produced only for them to bring them back, while CM has whatever new gens hiding.
>>746316942Carbons aren't really human per se, but close to them in regards to how they live and act. They can attach metallic parts to themselves.
The only real reason people want Command Mission to be canon is because they REALLY want the Command Mission cast to return someday.They will never return.
>>746316942I'll trust the clanker on this one.

>>746317428I thought it had more with wanting Zero to not be canon because they can't comprehend an artstyle change.

>>746317689Zero is more a design change rather than style change.
>>746313672>>746314142The actual answer is that western comics aren't canon.
>>746285186Classic? No. It is treated much the same as, say, Mario. In that all that matters is that it's a megaman game. Story is completely secondary and there is no continuity. Time does not flow in this series, previous events are barely acknowledged if at all and there is no future. Only an excuse to fight 8 bosses and about 4 castle levels. The desire to have a comprehensive, continuous story with a satisfying conclusion is, I feel, a very western notion and old japs like Miyamoto absolutely despise it.
I never entirely understood the attachment to Command Mission. It's a basic bitch-ass JRPG with a basic bitch-ass cast. The PS2 had a fuckton of JRPGs, most mediocre. I'd rank Command Mission as somewhere in the middle D-tier. Like if you compare it to>.hack>.hack//G.U.>Breath of Fire V>Dragon Quest VIII>Final Fantasy X>Final Fantasy X-II>Kingdom Hearts>Kingdom Hearts II>Mana Khemia 1-2>Okage>Persona 3>Persona 4>Radiata Stories>Raidou Kuzunoha 1-2>Shadow Hearts>Shadow Hearts: Covenant>Shin Megami Tensei III>Star Ocean 3>Tales of Symphonia>Tales of Legendia>Tales of the Abyss>Wild Arms 3>Wild Arms 5>Xenosaga I-IIIList just fucking goes on. I would probably rate Command Mission unfavorably to pretty much all of these games. I don't even like a good chunk of the games on this list, but they're still all better than Command Mission.
>>746313976With a voice like that the guy would be better off using text to speech.
>>746318190>Zelda forkThat pissed people off for whatever reason
>>746318234desu it's the most solid of the ps2 X games that still holds up now
>>746318692That's just depressing but true
>>746318234X7 gave everyone depression
>>746318692That's an extremely low bar.I, personally, cannot rank it that high. I think the writing is bad, the dungeons are boring, the bosses aren't super memorable, the characters are all one-dimensional and the graphics are kind of ugly for a PS2 title. It brings almost nothing interesting to the table. I could kind of understand if someone who EXCLUSIVELY played literally nothing but Mega Man games loved it, but I'm not one of those people. I do not live in a vacuum where the only games you can compare Mega Man to are other Mega Man games. I can't just go "Well it's okay by the standards of the series" and hold it in particularly high regard. It's a D-tier game that isn't worth going back to.
>>746318768personally just some small tweaks and it'll be fine for the story but the gameplay is solid
>>746318905>bosses aren't super memorableDancing 3 headed Egyptian is memorable.
