Mega Man Megathread

Ian noooo stop talking about command mission!!

Ian's talking? Where?

Also, I'm currently playing through Command Mission. Coincidence? Probably.

No Ian, X does not have the Z-saber anymore, because X only had the Z-saber because of Zero presumably had a minor case of death, once he repaired himself while he hid himself, X stopped using the saber since, Y’know, the thing he used to honor a person’s death wasn’t needed considering said person… wasn’t dead. Oops!

Bumblebee podcast. The cast he runs with… some other comic book writer.

He wrote for both Archie Mega Man and Archie Sonic.

If there was a Rockman 12 what would you guys change from 11?
Id make the stages shorter

Bass and Proto Man actually being in the game.

oh, okay.
is he good at his job? yousef's post doesn't seem to imply that.
also, i too have been playing through command mission. i wanted to double check and follow up on a post that i made about the party member limit. i'm slowly getting to the part, but it should be chapter 6 where you get a full party for like, three floors in the mining facility. so, for like half a chapter, you have seven characters on your team.

the lack of additional characters 11 games in was was odd

I'd also want better music, 11's music was very disappointing

it's not by him, but when you say "archie sonic" the first thing that comes to mind is this

It’s got this weird ”soft reboot”-y feel to me, which always feel like they neuter the setting and avoid too many characters because it might be confusing to new fans or whatever.
Then they just never make a sequel anyway and it makes the existing game feel weird and empty.

I’d change the music style too. It’s not outright bad but it really doesn’t sound very much like Megaman to me.

I’d also change Megaman’s voice to sound much younger and make the artstyle less ”perfect”. I don’t like how clean and thin everything looks.

Lastly I’d ditch the Viewtiful Joe double gear thing. I’m not a fan of adding core gameplay gimmicks in the way it feels, it mostly gets in the way and confuses me.

And just like fake said, I’d want Bass and Protoman to return.

It's this cretinous thing publishers do every time there's a new entry in the series after over 5 years, hate the shit

I'm so glad capcom didnt do that for devil may cry 5, if you don't know who nero is look it up or play 4

It kills all momentum, what's the point of having a series if you're just gonna delete from existance all the new stuff with every sequel? I felt similarly towards 9 and 10

I’d change the music style too. It’s not outright bad but it really doesn’t sound very much like Megaman to me.

It's so weird how it fades into the backround, the music in rockman was always FRONT AND CENTER, hence the Rock&Roll names. It's supposed to be energetic and bombastic, the one in 11 felt more like a leisurely platofrmer



I've resigned myself to the fact capcocom usa wants RM to sound like a nasal preteen instread of a little boy even if he's meant to resemble astro boy; I never got why

I get Saturday Morning Cartoon vibes from it, but in a bad way. They could just get Colleen Clinkenbeard or some other VA who specializes in kid voices to do it. In MM11 he sounds like a 27 year old man.

My shift from Megaman to Astro Boy is similar to my shift from Star Wars to Star Trek. The franchise grew stale and I wanted better stories.

(I know one doesn’t play Megaman games for the story, but me falling in love with Astro Boy was probably because it had the depth I always imagined Megaman had when I was a little kid)

Yeah I agree. If you’re branding a sequel to a legacy act as an actual sequel, it should feel as such.

Megaman games have always been somewhat low-budget projects, and MM11 definitely feels like it too. It feels kind of ramshackle put together without giving too much thought into much because ”it’s Megaman, we gotta make something just to show we remember him.”
It’s not a dogshit game or anything, it just could’ve been way bigger and better I think.

well, considering that mega man, the super fighting robot, came out in 1987; he's 38 years old. sounding a decade younger than he is should be taken as a good sign. means that he has been taking care of himself pretty well.

Thats just it! He sounds like a character from Questworld!

Or just get Grey DeLisle, she can do everything

Hah! I never made the connection but it fits

What’s the best place to play megaman, I know a lot of stuff is on gba but is that the best way?

That depends on the series.

Nah I’m joking. Just be more specific and we can help.

For 1-6 the famicom roms are perfectly good, except 3 which has a mod that restores all the cut content

 

[TamagotchiTamaHero24]

Which game do you all think is the easiest to do a buster only run in?

 

[Codexion]

That depends on the series.
