Why Inafune or some of the Mega Man fans hate Quint? He is mega man from the future who was brought to the past and rebuilt to fight Mega Man and was alter retconned into Rockman Shadow but still does the InafKing really hate him that much?

It was also "lol dark" to have to fight yourself and face your fears, so they "tried" to avoid that years later until SRA.  -_-

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

The thing is, MegaRockMan should have both a pogo stick AND a ray gun, and then he'll finally be able to compete with Commander Keen.

I don't think Inafking hates Quint...he's just an underused character. (I like him well enough)

By the way, I had to argue with two people why Quint is indeed future Mega. One thought it wasn't fair to Mega, the other used an outdated RnF GBA translation as "proof" that Capcom had retconned Quint into just another Wily robot (not future Mega).

If you'll forgive the capslock of rage, I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I HAD TO ARGUE OVER THAT.

Rockman Shadow is NOT Quint.

And Quint is epic.

It's appaling to me that black and white Game Boy games have decided Rock's fate as a loser on a pogo stick with a wannabe Proto Man helmet.

You can't be just some dude with that post count...

Quint AND R Shadow are both cool in my eyes.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

When I was a kid who saw Quint"et" in Nintendo Power I thought he was cool and mysterious.  But he's too easy.  He's just too easy and fights nothing like Megaman.  What's worse is that his weapon isn't even too useful in the game, which coulda saved him.  So all that robs him of his initial coolness.

And the future stuff really feels ... tacked on.  Yeah, I know it's the backstory to MM2GB.  I know.  But, background to Wily's fortress aisde, I don't see it.  If I hadn't been told Quint was a future MM, I would never have guessed.  And that's the problem with Quint.  He has this cool origin and a cool design (even on the US box art) and it's all executed poorly.

Inafune thinks MM2 GB missed the mark as a whole, I dunno what he thinks about Quint himself.  But the ending shows MM gunning down a fleeing Dr. Wily, so I'd have to agree with Inafune.  It's the coldest I ever saw classic MM.  I don't hate 2GB, but looking back I do feel it's done poorly in comparison to other MM games.

As for RM Shadow, he's much better than Quint.  He just has more powers and he can slide and has his own buster.  So he's much more connected to MM than the original was.  But his origin seems needlessly complicated and the writing for that game seems as lousy as the RMs.

I donĀ“t like time travels. Also he  and his powers seem lame compared to the R-killers and other special bots.

But you get to hop around on a pogo-stick of DOOM!

Indeed.  I like Quint and his pogo-stick of DOOM.  I personally thought he was pretty creative, even though the concept really isn't that original.  And he has a pogo-stick of DOOM. 

Heh, when I took Gaunt's "Which Megaman are You" quiz, I got Quint. XD

I don't mind Quint, really. His helmet design looks nice, and his pogo stick is, RM weapon-wise, somewhat out of the box.

That said, it would be nice if the game even HAD AN INTRO, in order to briefly give us his backstory. Unfortunately, the GB/World games didn't even give us intros until the 4th one.

Well, that's when the mangas come in really. XD
The Rockman 2 manga gave a rather nice backstory into how Quint came to be.

It's because, he really isn't considered a Killer by Killer standards...
At least he did make an appearance in World 5... ._.

I like Quint from MSpaint Masterpieces.
The game Quint... not so much.
Actually I'm indifferent to his game persona.

The problem wasn't Quint himself.

He was a great idea, and an awesome looking-robot.  The problem was that MMII was rushed so fast that it was a mess.  Glitches everywhere, BAD sound effects, and terrible music outside of two or three tunes.   Quint got stuck in here, and suffered for it.  They didn't even have time to give him any attacks, just jumping.

What color is my heart, Snively...?

I'm replaying Megaman 1-5 right now.

I like Quint. And didn't he get a much bigger role in a certain WS game?
