Have (You) submitted your robot master, anon?
>>549852670The fabled prequel to Megaman DOS
>>549852769I'm still drawing him... this is hard...
>>549852769I have no drawing skills and even less idea guys skills. I see the vaccum right arm and the only thing that comes to my mind is Ruby-Spears Roll
>>54985276918 hours of grinding in a korean mmo destroyed my hand and it's still recovering, so nyo.
>>549852769Not now, it's freaking late.
Please post submissions here too so we can all group up and laugh at your drawing
>>>549852685>Two games>Collection
>>549853662People cope that it would include Misadventures of Tron Bonne when Capcom would never be so logical.
>>549853920A SFLC-styled port for Misadventures would be cool considering all 2D artwork on menus
>>>/v/728212543
>>549854493Bunnie
>>549854912Does this fit the criteria? I thought it was a lanky robot
>>549855508Nope, just reposting an entry from that thread.
what if i win and then i have porn of my robot master drawn by me too?
>>549856381That would be based if the robot master is female
>>549856381Then you can hang around the cool guys like Ishikawa
>coming in 2027Did they literally just start development like last week and spent the past week making a trailer?
ngl, the template body they used seems too elongated to be of any fun - it seems slanted towards a fridgebot
>>549854912Cute freckles. I didn't bother reading the guidelines, are you able to deviate from the frame presented, and it's just 'make a cool robot for us', or do you need to incorporate the sprayer arm?
>>549852670For realDoes anyone here caring about Classic?
>>549859078Although I prefer other series, I understand Capcom's intention of making the first entry when trying to reignite the series a safe, and secure bet. It's hard to fuck up Classic, it's not stepping on the toes of any cliffhangers, and it's really easy to write up a story for it>Wily wants to take over the world, and there might be a mcguffin that introduces a gimmick to the gameSo long as they don't blow a lot of money on development, or have unrealistic expectations, it will make money. Will it make blockbuster crazy money? No, but hopefully Capcom understands this.
>>549859078Yes ESL, I do because I'm not an X spic.
>>549859078I do and I hate X so I'm happy it's 12. I'd also like if, for the 40th, there was some game that's either a BN sequel (not preferred) or a successor to BN/SF but I won't hope for it.
>>549852670>They did not become concept artists and had a backlog of 40 different robot master designs just in case.>They had between one to three decades to prepareSkill issue, dorks.
>>549859564Post you're (sic) Dildo Man designs go go go
>>549859632>Accidentally doxxing myself if that design wins.Nice try.
>>549843180Nightmare man?
>>549859350God, I want another Battle Network, but in order to do that, they would have to retcon 6's ending and Star Force so I doubt it will ever happen, and perhaps it is for the better.But man, we are at the right fucking time for its themes, because no warning was heed and computers are being put on everything. And there's kids whose only """friend""" is chatGPT or a chatbot from a fuck-all site.
>>549859945Yeah, I remember when Lan told .exe "fuck off you clanker, I stand with the common worker! You will not replace us!" and smashed his PET.
>>549852756It's not happening, ever.
>>549860171It's not happening because in order to make it, they would have to also include in the package MM Legends 1 and 2, and if 3 looks "too good" then people might not justify spending extra for 2 dated games as they just want 3 in there, so they would have to remaster properly 1 and 2, and they are not making that unless it is sure the package will sell well, which is not guaranteed at all because it is Megaman Legends after all.
>>549860095I think his issue with the ending of 6, is how the net is basically purged of Viruses, and stabilized due to Colonel and Iris programs
>>549860330Yep, that's what I meant.Realistically speaking, you can't have a BN 7 without retconing every material that came after 6's ending. Including the BN collection manga too.However, you can have a spin-off that happens in-parallel to the BN 1-6 events. However, and this is completely unsolvable, that means no Megaman.exe which means the game simply can't happen. And they are not going to retcon the timeline to fit a new game between events from previous games.
>>5498575402026 not even started yet and we already have 2027 anouncements. Wild.
>>549860330>>549860650That only is mentioned in the epilogue after it says "20 years later," though. Plenty of space to put a Lan and Megaman story before that happens.
>>549860650WAIT.ZERO.EXE IS STILL THERE SOMEWHERE!!!THEY CAN MAKE IT!!!MEGAMAN BATTLE NETWORK ZERO.
>>549860831Yeah, Zero.exe ended up becoming a fully fledged netnavi after NT, iirc, so he would be exempt from kernel's virus racism
>>549860650>And they are not going to retcon the timeline to fit a new game between events from previous games.They already did that though. Legend of Network came out after EXE6 and happened between 5 and 6.
>>549860893Hopefully his hair gets fluffy and not stiff like it was.
>>549860831>MEGAMAN BATTLE NETWORK ZEROWhy the fuck did I not think of this?
>Zero.exe getting the Napalmman treatment, and getting an operator despite debuting as a solo navi>Ciel
>>549860831I was going to say that a MMBN X would be the safest choice with Lan's kid but thinking about it clearly.Battle Network 6 was kinda that?, sorta.The Cybeasts were animal-looking, and the Cross Beast sorta made Megaman.exe look like a cheap Maverick. He was also stupid strong like a Maverick would be to a Classic era RM if they were to fight one.
>>549861138>Ciels reveal to be Lan's cousin who is prodigy among her peer
>>549860831Zero chance
>>549861239Having her being related to Lan feels too coincidental, considering Zero's past with Lan & Mega Man. I'd keep her competent - a talented coder - opposed to roboticist - capable of developing navi-cust programs/styles for Zero.exe's unique code.
>>549861138>BN version of Ciel is about to get killed IRL because of some virus shenanigans after an animal-looking NetNavi killed Ciel's Reploid-looking generic NetNavi.>Zero.exe forcefully installs himself into her PET, as he was just passing by the local net when he came into this clusterfuck>"INSERT CHIPS, NOW!!!">TutorialBoss.Sword>Zero.exe saves the day, about to fuck off>Ciel asks him to be her NetNavi>Thinks it, sees her as weak or whatever, might help>Agrees to be her NetNavi>Ciel starts getting more and more parasocial with Zero.exe as the game (or several games) go on.Dare I say it?KINEMA.
>>549861589>All of this happens just as the BN events happen somewhere elseFeasible. But Capcom will never do it. No balls.
>>549861562oops, I dislike my formatting of that post. bed time.but yeah, there's lots of fun ways you could play on a zero.exe bn spinoff ... might be weird to have a Weil parallel exist in the same time-frame as Wily, but that's only an issue in localization.
>>549861562>>549861589The question is what did Ciel make a copy of, that went out of control, to serve as the final boss?
>>549861754Kai.EXEAn attempt to reproducing Megaman.EXEAlternative the 4 Guardian getting hijacked by Weil
>>549861238>cheapHe looked AWESOME.
>>549861924So you're saying Ciel's the bad guy that needs to be stopped along with Weil.
>>549862006this is the BN verse, where people get a slap on the wrist for trying to burn people alive; coding a rogue ai that causes issues for the net would just get you a visit from sci-lab, and onboarded into a high trust position tbhhhhhhhhh.
>>549862135i mean its still mile better than what happened in Classic/X timeline
>>549861754Probably a copy of Megaman.exe, there were a couple parts through previous games in which he barely avoided death or sorta "died".She could have like, "scooped" some of that data somehow in hopes of having enough to make herself a copy NetNavi of him, a private project even, and since she doesn't want to just make a blatant copy of someone else's NetNavi, she calls it "MegamanX.exe", The X to differentiate it from the original one.However, this one well, has no fucking soul, so it goes power mad or is bugged to hell and back, perhaps even "infects" other NetNavis with this, causing them to "evolve" just like Gospel and the Cybeasts all had this weird convergent evolution bit that led them to become animal looking, so the infected generic NetNavis turn animal-ish looking and change their names, of course, to the X and Zero series Maverick names that we all know already. With the difference of adding the .exe at the end of their names.
>>549861589That would actually rule.
>Everyone's making good points on how to make a MMBN Zero real and how it could make perfect sense.It only took us 20 years to get this smart. Lan and Hub would be proud.
>>549860831>MEGAMAN BATTLE NETWORK ZEROI would pre-order instantly, no questions asked. Fuck it.
so did anyone notice how much more segmented megamans armor looked?
>>549862812What would even Mega Man Battle Network ZX be even about?
>>549863176Pandora.EXE
They need to up the speed and introduce some new platforming gimmicks. if they dont do that at least let the player feel like they're going faster, without havign rto press a button over and over again like in the x series.
>>549861589>>549860831>Zero.exe uploads himself to a satellite doomsday weapon that Weil.exe (digitalized consciousness, Hub-like situation but even better) wants to activate to kill all humans or something idk.>Weil.exe is deleted...>"Welp, I think he will survive this time arou-">...but the satellite will still fire.>Zero.exe decides to crash it, has to manually do it.>"Z-Zero! There's no time! Get back here!>*Speech*>"Ciel... Believe in me!">"Zerooo!!!"I would kneel.
>>549864415Bosses:>Harpuia.exe>Leviathan.exe>Fefnir.exe>Phantom.exe>MegamanX.exe (>>549862493 , >>549861924)and/or>Weil.exe/Ragnarok or whatever (>>549864415)Would need at least 3 or 4 more. Could pick randoms from the Zero series, or could even pick some Network Transmission guys to bring back. Starman and Swordman are pretty cool.
>>549864415>>549865575>>549864415>That's the bad ending.>True ending after getting all chips?, ends with him pulling a MMBN3 and surviving, getting closer to Ciel, opening up more even.>Some short time later, the BN6 events happen and the world is healed.>Ciel gets his parasocial NetNavi "more than friend", reciprocal or not doesn't matter, it's all hinted, never confirmed, interaction played for laughs, againnever confirmed but hinted at. Of course Zero is still all cool and such despite Ciel being affectionate. Is all a bit more noticeably mellow despite him not reciprocating touch... Or not on-screen at least.>They could also pull a Ready Player One and Ciel is using VR to interact with Zero off-screen. At which game this begins to happen doesn't really matter.>Postgame/DLC is a tournament.>Viruses are not a thing anymore so Netbattlers just fight each other these days.>Zero finally reunites with Megaman.exe and Lan, Ciel meets Lan and the crew.>Bracket is all emblematic NetNavis from previous games and some randoms from the X or Zero series in NetNavi form, order doesn't really matter except for fixed encounters that are 100% fanservice (Protoman.exe and such).>Tournament gets interrupted by Bass.exe>Zero and Mega pair up and defeat him, Bass btfo again. Also, turns out the BN6 fight led to Mega acquiring the other Beast he did not have. Mastered this offscreen. Also all crosses from previous versions. Could also justify having no crosses by saying Megaman.exe had to get rid of them to have the extra space to get the other beast. Because of that he's now "MegamanX.exe">Tournament cancelled/final match delayed until further notice>Postgame's post-credits final boss sometime later is that fight. Megaman.exe, both beasts pattern and then double beast.>Canonically ends in a draw to not cause a flame war between old and nu BN fans.Just take what works from this Capcom, don't pay me, idc, just make it work. I will buy it.
>>549859078I LOVE CLASSIC MEGA MAN
I really don't care for classic, and I wish I could care about it, fuck man. Entering the franchise from X is a mistake I will never ever recover from.
>>549867118Classic MM is full of charm and soul tho
>>549866245A BNZ getting the good ending does sting as a Zero fan but it makes sense considering that the spin-off runs entirely on hopium that comes true.
>>549867213not having dash and wall jump sucks>slidedon't like how jumping kills your momentum
>>549867350Classic Mega Man is not movementslop
>>549867398too bad because that's what I want in platforming games
Classic Mega Man is anti-reddit
>>549866245>Zero meets post-BN6 Willy and they make amends.>Ciel meets Willy, leads to her also becoming a researcher working with him and Lan's father.>She could not attend the BN collection manga meetup because she was busy (having time with Zero).Me cry. It will never happen.
>>549868096lol, half-life 3 likely is set to begin production after Gabe dies, he's the type of man to have that in his will. Also because if they botch it, Gabe won't be here anymore to get accused of anything.
>>549867118I entered from BN4Loved it.
>>549861981I said that he looks like a cheap Maverick, not that he didn't look awesome.Mavericks are just more awesome. So even a look-alike still looks cool as hell.
>>549869757I finished a 100% of BN4 three days ago. It's actually fun if you haven't played another Battle Network game in about a year.Every other time I had played it was as part of a marathon or otherwise immediately after another one, and it has the unfortunate position of being between 3, which is quite good, and 5, which is my personal favorite, which was also my main entry point to the series. I had played some Classic 8 and my older brother's copy of BN3 a bit, but BN5 is what hooked me in.
>>549870486I wouldn't call having three good games in a row an unfortunate position, but whatever.
>>549871718*eight good games
>>549871871Holy BASED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i97QCOWSC4Post your reveal trailer impressions on Dual Override.
>>549872060
>>549872060It's 50 seconds of cgi cinematic, 20 seconds of the same gameplay the series has had since Mega Man 4, 10 seconds of fireworks, the title, and a teaser for a character that has been around since Mega Man 3.
In the 11 game, Rockman's model was designed with a slightly lower height-to-head ratio than the character design, but DO's Rockman has a taller height-to-head ratio and a more dynamic running style, huh.
>>549872060The intro part showing the gate resembles certain areas from Command Mission. That not it's related in any way. Anyway the gameplay seems very Megaman 11, I think I like how bright the recovery animation looks in DO. The buster remains piercing walls in Classic series despite not working like that anymore in every other series. I like amusement parks and the bright artstyle, it seems brighter than 11 which was honestly pretty dark aesthetically. But we only have one area to go from. IDK about the new mechanic shown at the end, I hope it isn't too overpowered. I also hope this game has Bass gameplay or that it's a bit longer than 11. I don't like being called DO instead 12.>>549873132This is really cool, specially since the boots are really big which is one of the most charming points about Megaman.
>>549873132I'm not a fan of the new one's face.
>>549873629Why? You think it looks too old or maybe the helmet covers his face too much?
>>549873770I think it's the eyes. They're the wrong shape, they're too angular. They're more like X's eyes than Mega Man's.

>Inti slop is trying to hijack the BN kino timeline
>>549867398>movementslopThis was coined by and only valid to Sonic autists who got scammed into buying into nostalgia again.For Mega Man, dialing the traditional gameplay it back to what is literally the endless now is holding the series back.
>>549885520This kek, amazing they're trying to make things repeat for the Chad Network continuity.
>release mega man 11>do nothing with the franchise>10 years later>80's nostalgia has been a dead trend for 6 years at least>release mega man 12 anywayWho is this game for? 2000's shit is all the rage now even among younger zoomers. By the time "Dual Override" comes out, ZX Advent will have been on a 20 year cliffhanger and Legends 2 a nearly THREE DECADE cliffhanger.

>>549895770Some guy that does Mega Man news.
>>549897559I'm willing to hate him, tell me everything bad about him.
>>549897858He's in-between "officia". As in it's not confirmed if he's working for Capcom, but acts according to NDAs. When Mega Man finally gets some news, he's now "DUDE I'VE BEEN HINTING AT IT SINCE 2019!!" and now everyone's wanking him on twitter because they think "omg poor him people were so angry for no reason"
>>549897858Well, >Story goes that he used to go on the other general a long time ago while namefagging and got mad over the typical differences from 4chan, making him leave while posting on twitter about how generals suck>Yet he still lurked that general for XDive leaks around the time of Erato's release>The yahoo auction incident where he picked fights with japanese autists because he was going to get some unreleased game documents and made the fact that he was bidding very public and then grumbled some about the differences in preservation between westerners and the japanese>The time he was hyping up an article with people who worked on an unreleased X game... only for it to turn out that it was for an unreleased port and the post was mainly an ad for the developers' current game and very little about the port

>>549919117bait (@ 500 decibels)
>>549919234Nope. I respect STRONG Games with STRONG villains, and Duo.EXE is the strongest BN villain.
>>549919647Duo.exe is a Force of Nature antagonist; it's like calling the Twister in Twister a 'villain' - they're an ordeal the protagonists must surmount, but they don't have malicious intentions.Regal is the primary villain of BN4, as he's opposed to the main hero, but also acting with evil intent.A villain can be an antagonist, but an antagonist isn't always a villain.
Y'all can thank Harpy for sucking Sagat's limp dick and putting in a good word for Capcom to give uncle another game. TRUST 'PON IT!!!!

>>549936339>BN4 is coolYou should be able to articulate why you think it's cool.
>>549936868Bass being the hidden super secret boss is better than him being forced into the plot. When I saw him hidden behind the mysterious gate, that's when I felt it in my blood and veins. I knew that I was playing the perfectly tailored game for me. No other BN game ever replicated that feeling.
>>549937709Over-exposure to Plot!Bass leading to fatigue is certainly exists; I feel as though he loses a lot of mystique, and cool factor when he gets too much screen time. However, he did have some nice moments in 3, like noselling the Giga Freeze program, and merking Flameman.exe in one shot, but it's offset by the pitiful penultimate encounter and then having him job to Alpha was embarrassing.I'm not sure how I feel about Bass' kit getting reworked by 4. Didn't like his loss of traditional Life Aura for a dinky regenerating barrier, and wasn't fond of the loss of his Air Burst for the buster rake - the projectiles from Air Burst were visually interesting, where as Buster Rake is just boring hit sparks. His dark swords, Helz Rolling and Darkness Overload were really cool additions, however, and the after-images on movement were a nice aesthetic touch.

>>549939050>Over-exposure to Plot!Bass leading to fatigue is certainly existsBass.exe only has 1 game to his name plot wise unless you meant him continuing to be in the plot would have lead to that?
>>549941224He had some plot presence in BN2 (Albeit, as a clone), and a hypothetical subsequent game with him being relevant would have risked overstaying his welcome. I think he works best as an ominous phantom lurking in the deep net.
>>549941345SNRRRRRRRRT
>>549942208Agreed. But I don't think he overstayed his welcome. Now if you're talking about supplementary stuff like the games and especially in the manga then there's a case to be made.
>>549943607*like the anime
>>549943772I was utterly baffled by the direction they took with Anime Bass; having him connected to Pharaohman was bizarre. I consider anime Bass to be an adaption in name only. BINO
>>549944124The anime staff said the game staff didn't tell them of any plotlines until around BN4 so they often winged it because all they knew of Bass.exe was just what the game showed.

>>549948568>Capcom>ZXPick only one
>>549948568There's no way Capcom would lead with ZX, it's a niche spinoff of a spinoff, headed by another development team and people would react negatively to it getting attention over other series. This is coming from someone who loves ZX, and the world it developed.
>>549948568Why would you want to see X fucking Capcom?
>>549949058So we can call capcom a bunch of clankers.
>See many designs>"Oh they look neat">See many good designs not follow the rules of the contestI don't get it, are the designs supposedly follow the shape of the prototype? or that you just need to have an arm that sucks? Cause some designs i have seen they are way chunkier, have no legs at all or the whole shape doesn't even fit
>>549949961close to the base skeleton as possible
>>549948568Classic is the hardest series
To make a damn short game like the new Mega Man, does Capcom need until 2027?
>>549950545Yeah, it seems like a long dev cycle, but at the same time, the deadline for the fan design is less than a month away.
>>549950545Chances are that they started development very recently, and given all the design and modelling differences, I can buy the 2027 release to coincide with the 40th.
they should make Roll be a robot Master since the contest has a character with a suction device like a vaccum. also why give a character one hand?
>>549951668>we kill Roll

>>549935441The NG+ stuff is fine and the game is short enough that having only base tier chips isn't an issue.I find the tournament stuff to be a breath of fresh air, and it all goes by smoothly other than the point gathering. BN3 and BN5 have way more moments that feel like a slog.I didn't have any issue with the doublesouls either, and dark chips should punish you.I feel like BN4 haters are just forcing a meme cause they're BN3 fanboys that are jealous of the sales, most complaints about the game just don't make sense to me.
>>550005467>most complaints about the game just don't make sense to me.My complaints are moreso entirely on the more childish worldview and the tournament arc was not the best structured. It does make things monotonous and it's a similar problem BN5 has as well. If they had gotten rid of the generic navis and make you go through all scenarios in one playthrough, it'd have been less tedious.The way I see it, there is a really good game hiding under BN4 and SF2 at least. And that's not something I can't really say exists for the other "bad" games in the series (Hello, 2000s X series)
>>550006581I think the way it handled the tournament with NG+ and stuff was mostly well done, its not like you have to replay the game in order to beat it, if you don't like it then stop after beating it once.When it comes to the story stuff, I take BN about as seriously as Classic, its a pretty childish series, so the only thing that really matters to me are the mechanics and the pacing, also how easy it is to make a satisfying folder.
>>550007615BN1-3 had relatively muted colour palettes, areas were stylised akin to early cgi and it did feel like a world where cyber terrorism was a serious threat.But then in BN4 everything is more saturated and poppy, the enviroments are flat, the characters behave more akin to their anime characterisations etc. Inunderstand this was done to create brand synergy and it worked. However, I personally prefer the tone of BN1-3 as opposed to BN4-6.Classic's aesthetics also got more simple around the time the Complete Works games came out too. Classic's never really recovered from that.
>>550007615>the only thing that really matters to me are the mechanics and the pacingBN4 has the worst plot pacing of the series, although it's not exactly a strong point of any of the others.As far as playing it once, the issue with that is that you only get half the souls, so you haven't yet really gotten the whole experience.
>>550009119>BN4 has the worst plot pacing of the seriesBut it has some of the best gameplay pacing, it wastes less time on backtracking than most other BNs, I'd say only 1 and maybe 6 really beat it on that>you only get half the souls, so you haven't yet really gotten the whole experience.Thats like saying you need to play with every style to fully experience BN2 or 3, or that you need all the chips.
>>550010532>it wastes less time on backtracking than most other BNsBecause you get two repeat playthroughs at minimum. And you get long stretches of fetch quests or absoilutely tedious areas like the entire Amusement Park midpoint 3 times, or the Django subquest if you do want to get everything. >Thats like saying you need to play with every style to fully experience BN2 or 3, or that you need all the chips.The difference is that the game expects you to play BN2-3 with at least one style. In BN4 you only get half the style changes, you're effectively getting handicapped in a 8 hour playthrough with shitty chips and half your potential toolset.
>>550011480>you're effectively getting handicapped in a 8 hour playthrough with shitty chips and half your potential toolset.Except its not a handicap at all, the game is literally balanced around it, you don't need anything more.How about how BN3 handicaps you on styles by only letting you hold one at a time? If anything BN4 should be getting praised for letting you have access to 3/6 forms at once and potentially 6/6 if you do NG+ unlike BN2's 2/4 (2/16 if we count each element too) or BN3's 1/6 (1/24 if we count each element too)
>>550013050Styles and Souls are not comparable in this way. Souls require folder buildaround, which may even be impossible on your first playthrough, whereas Styles work with any folder regardless of which one you get given. Sure, you could through in some off code bubblers or something to use AquaSoul, but you're only getting a tiny amount of a Soul's benefits if you do that. Not getting all souls in one playthrough or access to all chips in one playthrough means that the mechanic and experience is incomplete in one playthrough. If you had complete chip access in one playthrough but only three souls or all souls and only stage 1 chips I would agree with you but you don't.
>>550013480Styles require folder buildaround as well.
>>550013795Hardly. And definitely not to the degree of a soul. Not to mention that 3 made Styles redundant with the Navi Customizer, hence why they got rid of them.
>>550014327They still require buildaround to get their full benefits, even guts, the simplest style, still benefits from building around the element you get.Speaking of the Navi Customizer, that thing was a glorified key item holder in 3 that actively punishes you for trying to use it for builds, whereas 4 made it into what it was supposed to be.
>>550015101>even guts, the simplest styleCustom is the simplest style.
IT'S REALLY HARD NOT TO GET CUSTOM STYLE
>>550015813Why would you want anything else?
>>550015557No, custom requires you to have a decent folder to get mileage out of. The extra slots aren't going to make your folder run much better if it already runs badly.Guts is just buster focused and thats why its the style every noob gets.
>>550015931navicust programs, pretty much. BN3 introducing rewards for leveling up off-styles that you can use on your preferred style was cool.You also kind of need Team Style for 100% and getting those V4 navi chips iirc. I don't remember if you can get them from chip traders
>>550016357>BN3 introducing rewards for leveling up off-styles that you can use on your preferred style was cool.It would have been cool if you were able to hold more than one style and level up and gaining styles didn't require hundreds of battles, but the way it was actually implemented is just grindy pain.
>>550016357What >>550016489 said.I really don't get why people like 3, there's so much added grinding to get stuff, and as if that wasn't bad enough they make it so you have to equip specific stuff to travel or to be able to encounter things so you can't even just play how you want.Unironically my least favorite mainline BN.
>>550016489While you used to be able to hold two styles in BN2, it seems like this was lowered down to 1 because of memory issues; it sounds like that might have been part of the reason why they went for a simplified artstyle in BN4 as well. I do think the grindiness could have been curtailed, but I also enjoyed throwing together decks to optimize my farming - those ACDC1 mettaurs didn't stand a chance.>>550017525Yeah, Press navigation was dogshit; it should have been a key item opposed to a navicust program. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, however.
>>550017525It has perhaps the best plot of the six. And it has a lot of postgame content that is probably the best in the series, though it is locked behind even more grind than the postgame is locked behind in the other games, with maybe the exception of 4 depending on how you categorize the repeat playthroughs. Those are the main things.
>>549994881Ok? CM was always a sidestory but still the tail end and part of the X series.
>>549994154>i say this because they were not included in Legacy Collection :^)jesus christnothing worse than giving an attention whore like this guy oxygen
The only reason Mega Man and Bass is treated as a side game instead of a main game is because Capcom didn't want to translate the Super Famicom version for the Legacy Collection.
>>550020204they ARE side games, though& bass is the story of 8 with some different bots, command mission is a rpg in an otherwise platformer sub-series
>>550020574>& bass is the story of 8yes i remember when in megaman 8 wily teamed up with dr. light again because some robot took over his castle and kicked him outall of those 'rock and bass begrudgingly team up' moments too
>>550020874now do command missioni'll wait
>>550020507Why not use the GBA version then?
>>550020914What exactly do you want him to say about CM?
Kelsinger's
new boss
>>550020874BTFO
>>550016357>I don't remember if you can get them from chip tradersYou can. It's the regular Team exclusive regular chips that need either Team Style who NetBattling/Comparing a Player that has got it in their library.
>>550020874Anon probably meant MM&B is more 8 ~Another~ or a gaiden.King = DuoCold = FrostBurner = SearchPirate = AquaGround = SwordMagic = ClownDynamo = Grenade
>>550024551You need the BugFrag Trader in Secret Area, and that Trader will never give you the v4 chip for the version exclusive Navi. So you do need TeamStyle to get Bowl/Mist's V4 chip.Some regular chips are locked behind CustStyle, not TeamStyle. Of course, you can trade/compare/netbattle those chips
>>550020914Command Mission is BOF5
This whole argument of Capcom considering &B and CM as sides would work better if they just said "it's still canon but they are pretty different" because you can't really walk back on one of them being shown on screen in a main cutscene in a main game and the other being quietly considered canon to the point of shoving the Zero series further for "no" reason.
>>550025291zero and onwards is borderline incompatible with command mission, it's not canon even if the characters introduced themselves might be
>>550025291Wasn't the tweet basically saying they're seen as side games and that's why they're not in the collection, nothing about canoncity?
>>550025291When did they say &B isn't canon? It literally appears in MM9's ending.
>>550025531Yes but you see anons here thinking this means they're not canon for some reason.
>>550025565Because Inafune's statements on the game in some interviews were likely mistranslated. He said it was the distant end of Classic back in the early 00s, then he said it ran parallel/close to 9 with 9's press tour.
>>550025624The CMfags we have specifically in this thread tend to be pretty sensitive.
>>550026189official canela manga with zero.......
>>550025462Zero series and onward is already incompatible continuing straight from the later half of the X series unless a deviation happens (which was why he wanted X5 to end to tie it to the Zero series). X5 removes Zero so there wouldn't even be a Zero series which is where X6 ironically let him do his story connection by giving him a breakoff point while still continuing the X series.
>>550026917lmao
>>550027025Inafune had nothing to do with X5 and X6. He just wanted X5 to be the last. Inti themselves were only working off the first 4 X games for most of Z1's development.
>>550025531tbf Brian's dumbass thinks it means exactly that.
>>549966276You will never get that in a canon entry
>>550027225I know he had nothing to do with it other than telling the developers "make it the last". I'm just saying that X6 ironically saved his idea even if it was a blindside.
>>550027547I wonder if X6's ending was worked out collaboratively. An anon pointed out Okohara is special thanks for Z1, and that cutscene isn't in the earlier builds.
>>550027025Okay, let me rephrase it for you, Actual Lee. It is even LESS compatible with the broad timeline than Zero, because Zero goes into ZX. Hope this helps!
>>550025291>This whole argument of Capcom considering &B and CM as sides would work better if they just said "it's still canon but they are pretty different"They pretty much did say that but Zerofags want the Zero series to be the end all be all of everything so they can't accept that.
>>550027923>Zero series and onward>this not meaning Zero and ZXWhatever Model Albert.
>>550028460You're the one that got pissy because I didn't make an exception for X5-X8 to satisfy your own personal brand of autism. Hope this helps!
>>550028658 (me)*X6, whatever
>>550028658Or you just can't read that I'm referring to Z and ZX and how it doesn't fit anyway.

>>550028163I blame the cataclysm bullshit.
The whole thing about timelines and canoncity is that it's always been marketing puff. The sooner this place understands that, the sooner we can move on from this.

>>550028915I still remember the original Mega Man Maker concept Capcom had kicking around, but ultimately shelved. To think, they dropped the ball and Mario Maker was a success.

>>550029460>actually deflecting and doubling down because he couldn't read
>>550029594me when "actually reading" is just appeasing my own autism and not actually "actually reading" but i don't want to admit it
>>550029461Wasn't it because of the mess that was happening in Capcom with MMUniverse?

>>550027761Probably not because of how much of a surprise it was to Inafune. That and from the interviews there wasn't much contact between Capcom and Inti other than through Inafune iirc.

>>550059867No, I think having at least Proto Man and Bass would be cool, because having too many can lead to stages being either too uniform to account for multiple playstyles or them having some trouble balancing everyone.
>>550059867Ehhh... I think having even just Proto Man is fine, Bass would be sick but any more than that? Unnecessary.I'm not completely against it tho, aslong as they make it funBut still, N

>>550027761Re: X6 Zero sealing away ending.I'm that anon who speculated that, and unfortunately I found the scene in the late proto we've got. Same dialogue, same art... They didn't touch up the art for the final at all.What's more interesting is the latter of the two X5 prototypes (the one that has cutscenes) we have a cutscene still of Zero with a fully intact body during the post-Sigma sequence. The linework doesn't match the final equivalent still at all, and the subsequent shot definitely looks like it was originally blocked for Zero's whole body.Seems like the original intention was to have Zero's fate be left unknown rather than leaving so heavily on his death.
We need MORE Female Robot Master, not another male one
anyone else not know what they meant by this?
>>550086374So X6 saved them.
>>550086667Putting all the money on a female maid suction robot master is happening right now.
>>550086669Capcom is performing satanic rituals in order to resurrect Mega Man
>>550086667Less female robot masters will be the norm.

>>550093803Serenade and Viddy Narcy exist.Rospark is quite literally a massive joke about gay people that is lost on non-japanese players. (maybe not so much nowadays)>>550086374>the original intention was to have Zero's fate be left unknown rather than leaving so heavily on his death.Everyone knew he was totally coming back next game. Anyone that thought otherwise played the game after Inafune saying X4 and X5 were considered as the endpoints. If you look at any contemporary review for the game, they all mock this ending and say they know he'll be back next game.Of course, one MM forum had a months long flame war over whether X6 would be introducing a Protoman X that led to members writing apologies.
>>550107320Serenade is closer to the new age idea of the perfect existence transcending all human understanding than lgbt identity politics. The other two are parodies
>>550107320Modern Capcom is not like that bro
>>550110258This implies the franchise is big enough for Capcom to even care about adding stuff like that the way they did SF or RE. At most, you're just getting Roll wearing a longer dress and Tundra Man 2
>>550111683Why would Roll get a longer dress?
>>550093803Well...
>>550113737because of diddybluds>>550114306what even is this?

>>550115992I guess I'm a tourist because I never heard about that game before. I thought that robot master was made by a fan.
>>550117167no, fan does not make robot masters
>>550117167To be fair, Rockman Strategy is a rather obscure spinoff that was made by another company and licensed by Capcom, so I can't blame the average person for not knowing about it.
>>550114306It's giving chopped
This one is cute ngl
>>550116837>stealing the Change.bat data
>new game announced >It's more classic >2027 release>No X9 or literally anything else Guess the series is still dead to me then
>>550127806That's too bad anon! Go back to sleep for another 8 years so that you can consider the series alive when you wake up. Maybe.
>>550127806APOLOGIZE
>>550127150I don't get it. Is he mad at the top version or at the bottom one?
>>550128665The original post was someone introducing a way to 11 and DO to look better by being like the bottom.
>>550127806>No X9 Thank God for that
>>550129206How is the bottom one better? We don't need all that info on the right side and DO's backgrounds are amazing.
>>550129941>We don't need all that info on the right sideCorrect>DO's backgrounds are amazing.Incorrect
>>550130040what's wrong with 12's backgrounds?
>>550130178visual clutter and generic stylisation. The night city is good though.
>>550127806Cool more Mega Man for real fans like me then.
>>550134528fanscaling is the weirdest thing the Internet has came up with
>>550134636It's been there before the internet was a thing, it just got further.
>>550127806capcom would fuck it up, because the x series is not something you can half ass with.
>>550134636Yes a real fan would be a whiny bitch that the franchise is making a comeback after being dormant for 8 years. I don't care if you like X more than Classic, more power to you, but I'm getting real sick of these fucking whiny babies crying that they didn't get what they want.

>>550135530gate with a nightmare snake for an arm
>>550134915Actually, given Capcom's history with X, they can. The problem here is that it's been around, if not over, two decades since the last game proper and people also want some answer to the cliffhanger in X8. Meaning, they can't just wing another Suddenly Sigma plot the same way Classic has and expect immediate applause.>>550135351I'm surprised no one has connected the dots that since Mega Man's 40th is in 2027, then it makes sense that a big project would be Classic-based.
>>550135836Sure they can. Just timeskip it.
>>550135836They were able to do a non-Sigma plot perfectly fine in Command Mission. Just do that but in a platformer.
Xtreme 2 was pretty good without Sigma, but they shoe-horned him in at the end.
>>550136185>>550136360And then they get called not an X plot or they don't consider it a mainline series game.
>>550136185>>550136360Just say you want Command Mission 2 instead of X9
>>550136360then the game would sidelined just like with megaman and bass. Poor sales on that game, like this anon said >>550136719
>>550136835>implying CM2 can't be X9
>>550136985By definition, it is not
>>550136985If anything it would be considered as x8.5 at best.
>>550137085By definition it'd just be a naming convention thing.
iwouldlikecm2actually
>>550136835X9 doesn't NEED Sigma and I don't know why anyone would think it does. Classic MM needs Wily because it runs on Saturday morning cartoon logic where the status quo is always reset for the next adventure. The X series was always more like an ongoing manga where the story continued from the last one. Sigma is dead as of X8 so now they need to do something different if they make an X9.
>>550137661Funny thing is command mission gives a perfect setup for 8 mavericks with Ferham's jihad
>>550137661>X9 doesn't NEED SigmaTell that to Capcom, who loves to bring him back
>>550137661Og sigma is dead, the new gen reploids have a copy chip that transform you to sigma. Expect to see him again and again other dead mavericks.

>>550136960Would people really be upset if Sigma didn't appear. I get he has a huge ironic/gay fanbase, especially in Japan but I don't think people would react like X getting sidelined in X7.

Believe it or not? Corrupted's scrapped nipple tubes were refurbished for the new robot master template.

okay somy 5-year-old nephew likes video games where characters have "powers" like how kirby worksi think mega man is a series he'd like but his ADHD gets in the way of him connecting actions to consequences and thus learning the patterns and sequences on which mega man games build their platforming and enemy designany suggestions on where he could start, if at all?

>>550198392already on ithe's getting play therapy, his parents are receiving guidance, and medications might be on the table for him
>>550198358Seconding thisOnce he is a bit older or can manage his ADHD better, I suggest giving him Megaman 5 or 6 as another entrypointThese entries are easier
>>550086374It's so fucked up that Dr. Light's AI thought the best thing to do for X would be to erase his memory of Zero and prevent him from acknowledging his existence at all.

Picked up Z/ZX Legacy Collection since I remembered enjoying ZXA back on DSOn the final stage of Z1 at the moment and I can't wait for this to be overThe display's so close up the Factory was hell and some bosses are firing shit from offscreen where it's too late to respond by the time the projectile shows up on screenI hope Z2-4 aren't as janky as this
>Mega Man>Anti-AI franchiseNo wonder why Electopia will always be Netopian vassal state
>>550227783Do not worry, further games in the Zero series are less janky
>>550227783>I hope Z2-4 aren't as janky as thisThe limited view is an issue in all four of them, enemies and bosses will always be capable of blindsiding you from offscreen.
>>550229873except for when Capcom Overlords use AI to upscale 2D Images for their Legacy Collections, that is.
>>550231583Actually this is not AI but something like waifu2x upscaler.AI arts are not that blurry.
>>550231583>>550233276It just looks like a filter to me, like the lookin good kind on emulators..
>>550231583I keep forgetting how fucking awful these look
>>550227783>I hope Z2-4 aren't as janky as thisThey are. That doesn't get better until ZXA.
>>550240057>That doesn't get better until ZXA.Really? The game where you constantly have to pause everything to switch to a gimmick animal form that's only purpose is breaking specific blocks, swimming through spiked waters, or climbing vines? If anything it doesn't get better until ZX and then gets more janky again with ZXA.
>>550241462I'm referring to the off screen jank that you're going to have 3 frames to react to unless you're edging the screen with every step. I didn't say that ZXA didn't have any problems because it absolutely does. It's the worst out of the two ZX games by a mile.

>>550227783>Bosses firing shit from off screenYeah, screen crunch is an issue that gets brought up with the zero games a lot. It would have been nice if the collection had higher resolution toggle, but that's a big ask for a rom collection.

>>550266142Yeah, these designs are great, but some fail to aesthetics of the era. Even taking in weirdos like Clown Man, etc, they still look toony enough to be a Classic-era RM, y'know?
>>550266336It's not just that, it's the detail excess that feel distinctly modern mecha-like as if they were looking at X instead of Classic. Even 55-&B had some limits on that.

goodnight /mmg/ !
With the big mega man sale on the switch I'm rolling to decide which one I buy>1-2 I get the mainline >3-4 I get X>5-6 I get Zero/ZX>7-8 I get battle network >9-0 I say fuck it and buy them all
>>550275342most unfortunate
>>550266336I think Mega Man 8 and & Bass in general should be looked at for Robot Master design structure, given how Mega Man looks to be taking more inspiration from 8 this go around, but more solid than squishy.
>>550275594Fine, sell me on the correct game
There usually aren't better sales than the Christmas Season ones, so I'd say grab 'em all. NTA.
>>550275982you will not like the answer
>>550275982What are you looking for is the big question.>Classic: precise platformers all about using your tools efficiency besides 5's charge shot, but kick you in the dick if you get complacent; simple, but don't need to be super complex either>X: gradual action game shift that prioritizes combat over platforming, things focus more on style over substance as the games become a quality roulette, but the best games are some of the best in the franchise (YMMV)>Zero/ZX: flawed games with some solid highlights that focus on what X was putting down yet with a much more streamlined approach for handhelds, ball busting difficulty if you don't use cyberelves, and one of the crappiest Metroidvania ever in ZX despite being solid everywhere else>Battle Network: an onslaught of charming but rather repetitive RPGs where loving the battle system is crucial to really sinking your teeth through the bullshit; if you can get that far in, it's dozens of hours of faffing about trying to get that perfect folder and the chip codes you want, and acing encountershonestly my biggest problems with recommending classic and x largely boil down to their collections being kind of butts, digital eclipse did a kinda crap job of the classic collection besides MM9 and 10 being in there, and the x collection was capcom's first major internal work in the modern era and it shows with input lag and weird choices made here or there on most of the games. best way to play X7/X8, but that's really not saying much in X7's case. zero/zx and battle network by comparison have really good collections, even if BN has that shit font.
