Is there any canon reason for why Mega Buster can only shoot straight forward?
Canon reason no, cannon reason yes.
>>12474303Never thought about it deeply but now my headcanon is that it would need to be upgraded to be able to shoot on all directions. Dr. Light never bothered to make such upgrade because as demonstrated in the games, it just works.
>>12474303do you understand how guns work?
>>12474317Ah yes I forgot. If there is an enemy slightly above the trajectory of my gun, I must jump and shoot mid-air to hit him
>>12474303you have to select doropie to shoot upwards
>>12474303Mega Man can only see directly ahead. His eyes can't move up or down or left or right. And due to the directive for good robots not to harm humans, he's incapable of shooting anything unless he first identifies it. So that means he can only shoot forward.
>>12474364His eyes move fine on the stage selection screen when he's present, and he can fire off metal blades in whichever direction
>>12474364He looks up when you select Wire in Mega Man 4.
>>12474364he's becoming SELF-AWARE
>>12474364This is some Nintendo Power bullshitting and I'm here for it.
>>12474303How does the canon change into a hand back to a gun ?
>>12474751very carefully
>>12474303Yeah, canons can only shoot forward
>>12474303Guns usually shoot forward.
>>12474303Mega Man can't bend his head to look upward and his arm can only go up to a 90 degree angle.
>>12474796Can both hands become cannons or is it only one dedicated arm that can do it?

Real question is why does Dr. Wily only make robots that generally attack from within Megaman's reach
>>12474837Either can but I'm pretty sure the only time he uses both at once is the shitty FMV game. In the same game he also uses E Cans by sticking his arm gun into the top.
>>12474303No he's aiming it on all the box art.
