It's faded after 15 years, but he's my tribute to the best game in the series.

bull, you purposely made it faded to simulate the blurriness of CRT's. 15 years of planning was made for this moment.

I love Starforce

Me too. What's your favorite game in the series?

Haven´t played 3 yet, but I love both 1 and 2, Geo/Subaru is probably one of my favourite game characters of all time.

 

[Overlight]

I love Starforce

And to this day still not a completed starforce 2 DX or 3 DX at all

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Starforce is related to Megaman BN?

 

[Overlight]

Starforce is related to Megaman BN?

It's the future of BN theoretically speaking and there's also a crossover event for the "remake" of BN1 on the DS

 

[solnK!]

Starforce is related to Megaman BN?

Yup, it´s sorta a sequel placed 100 years after Battle Network

Actually, Star Force takes place 200 years after Battle Network.

Oh, I didn´t remember, thank you.

this hairstyle kinda fits him though, not bad at all

'The sketch of Forte with slicked-back hair I drew that's circulating online was something I improvised when asked about Forte's hairstyle during a panel at Toronto Comicon.

I answered, 'Since Forte is a combat robot, he doesn't need hair—under the helmet, he's probably mechanical like the other bosses.'

Then, a guest insisted, 'I get that he doesn’t have any, but what if! What if he did have hair? Just what if! I really want to see it!!'

So I said, 'Alright, I'll think of something now, but this isn’t official lore, and I won’t ever draw it in my manga. And absolutely do NOT post photos of this online.'

That was our agreement when I drew it on the spot.
But somehow, a photo of that sketch ended up online and is still being shared to this day...

I drew it at the panel to make everyone happy under the promise that it wouldn’t be posted, but I learned that such promises aren’t kept. Thinking about it makes me sad.'

Can they remove their gloves? I wonder how that works. Do you think they go to a dry cleaner to get them clean?

oh hell no, Forte got that Norwood 2, he has his bangs longer to hide the Vegeta recession.

With Mega Man and Proto Man, most likely yes, but with other robots they're probably part of their bodies.

OBJECTION!

2 is actually making me rage due to how bad the writing gets, setting a high standard with the first one (it ain't the best written game ever but it tried to go deeper and I respect it for that) then dropping to BN type writing while hitting EVERY SINGLE overused and childish trope they could find in the way is very jarring, and I'm saying it because SF1 actually helped me get through an awful part of my life.

I might abandon it to experience SF3 quicker tbh, few games have made me feel this mad.

Damn, that´s sad, I know 2 can get a little shitty sometimes but I still love it. Maybe you´ll like 3 more.

Would knockoff media/works inspired by series in the Mega Man franchise be considered relevant to this thread?

I don't see why not, any chance to talk about Gravity Circuit is appreciated.

 

[KaiserMk7]

Delta Gal demo is a pretty decent Legends clone.

 

[JG5009]

There should be more legends inspired games, actually, a legends roguelike would be fire now that I think about it.

 

[KaiserMk7]

There's a battle network style incremental autobattler with light virtual pet and room customization mechanics called Berserk B.I.T.S. if I recall.

 

[JG5009]

Yeah, I'm waiting for that one, Berserk Boy was a nice throwback to ZX and the Tee Lopes music was bangers, still on the BN note there's Shangai.EXE (fully finished, it's a real deal BN game with touhou characters and music instead) and BN Chrono X (calling it BN 7 wouldn't be a crazy thing honestly, it's just that is taking just as long as MM X Corrupted to release), both look awesome.

Megaman all the way! Even playing marvel vs capcom 2, you have to be the blue bomber.
