Title: Super Sentai and Mega Man
Post by: Waifu on August 29, 2009, 02:32:40 AM
As most artists in RPM or anywhere would tell you, we can draw inspiration from our experiences as children or from everyday experiences. Most of us know that Mega Man was inspired off of Astro Boy, Speed Racer, a hint of Gundam and just about anything from the InafKing's childhood experiences but would Super Sentai be included in the mix? I had seen some Gatchaman on Toonami, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight adapted from Kamen Rider Ryuki and who in America hadn't watched Power Rangers but compared to Inafune who had probably watched countless anime and Super Sentai shows, that isn't much. I was looking at Wikipedia the other day and I researched some of the shows ehre I can see the inspirations from some of the robots and navies came from. I tried to find some examples of characters that look some of Robot masters but the only thing I could up was Protoman who looks like a cross the Red Ranger and Racer X but nevertheless I had some revelation that Mega Man and all of his incarnations had been inspired off of some various Super Sentai shows.

Well I definitely see that influence in EXE and Ryusei. ESPECIALLY Stream/Beast and Ryusei, because the humans don suits/powers/etc., and there's usually a group of heroes in the cartoon and manga instead of more or less "lone-wolf"ing it in the games themselves. BTW, this all was probably part of the sales pitch to the Execs of the company.

Classic MegaMan, I don't know.  But it's pretty hard to play ZX without envisioning Vent/Aile yelling, "It's morphin' time!"

......maybe that's just me.

...oh yeah, ZX does that too, huh?

Yep, definite Sentai influence, then. Here's hoping some Ronin Warriors influence seeps through.

Kamen Rider Bikes = Ride Chaser = Vent/Aile & Giro's Bikes

Speaking of those ZX Bikes, I kinda wish we can actually use it in game. And yes the idea of ZX series is You transforming into a Super Hero.

SuperSentai (http://www.supersentai.com/database/index.html).

I still say MegaMan needs a Giant Robot series with Zone of the Enders mech controls.

I'm pretty certain it's possible to include both fighting evil and transforming without being influenced by Sentai.

Pretty certain.

But Kiva was broadcast years after the last X game. Pretty hard to inspire things before you even exist.

X inspiring Kiva still fits my post.

I wasn't responding to your post because your post is a bad post because you are a bad person.
