Mega Man Megathread

[Yousef Yousef]

Also also, the whole "Reploids have free will, Classic series robots don't" implodes on itself because Ballade, Bass, and King all have rebelled against Dr. Wily on their own.

The only reasonable explanations for this are:
A) Classic series robots do have a free will, after all, or
B) Dr. Wily is such a dumb fuck he can't be bothered to program his robots to be loyal to him.

I hate how Archie comics try to explain it.
X: you got a good spirit, kid!
Rock: nah, I was just programmed to help others.
“Help others” is still free will, Flynn!! It is too vague, it requires cognitive thinking, aka sentience, to make complex independent decisions like this.
Then again maybe I’m reading too deeply into Flynn’s writing. He was way too persistent about continuity though which is an issue with his writing. His Megaman comics were a bit odd. It’s cool that he respected the lore, but being a writer of a non canon comic doesn’t put you under an obligation to not take any creative liberties.

Mini rant over.

It's the same mental hoops many fans go through to explain away this contradiction.

Megaman fans try not to play mental gymnastics challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

I win this challenge. I choose to accept that both Classic robots and Reploids have free will, because I'm based like that /j

I’d like to post a giant rant one day about how robots are functionally just psudo humans

I'd love to hear it since that's something that bothers me sometimes about Mega Man.

I read somewhere (probably tv tropes wiki) that the reason Mega Man 9 and 10 are in 8-bit is because people preferred the physics of the nes Mega Man games. Is this true?

While I did heard of such people, I don't think they're the reason MM9 and MM10 are 8-bit (or, at least, not the only reason).

It was an attempt to emulate Megaman 2.

Mega Man Battle & Chase's soundtrack is seriously underrated.

How much does the gba version of mega man and bass suck?

A lot.

Bass uses the double tap to dash, which is the worst way to dash.

Although maybe it can get in your way and make you lose some lives in a unfair way

No, it IS that bad. Game is borderline unplayable. A game like that needs an instantaneous dash.

"Sound" is the key word here. Try actually playing like this.

Yeah I really don’t think there’s any other way to explain this.

I heard the teen Titans go, PowerPuff girls 2016 and Ghostbusters 2016 packs were the reason lego dimensions was discontinued

Even as someone who can’t feel any investment towards Legos, this sucks.
