At long last, Coro Coro Comics has announced (http://jfk.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/handygrpg/1239280304/45) the winning design of the boss contest: "Clock Genius" created by Gouta san. Details are extremely slim but if the constellation theme in the design is any indication, we might be getting ourselves a new Shooting Star Rockman title.
More details to follow.
-
Yay more Time Freeze/Traveling~ >U<
-
That design is so... I don't even know how to comment on it. >_>
-
What the hell Capcom? You promised no more Shooting Star
-
It looks like a weird mixture of.. Time Man and that black dude from the A team? Weird. Capcom, what's with the sudden weirdness of bosses?
-
My god, It looks like Numbermans Successor with the Clock-Fro(Similar to Numbermans Disco-fro. 8D).
-
Just because the design may be directly attributed to Ryuusei, doesn't mean a continuance, necessarily. It could just as well be a design used for a new game.
Or at least, I'd like to think as such, given how Capcom was displeased with Ryuusei, and seemingly content to let it go after a 3rd game.

Further postings on 2ch reveal the game that the boss correlates to is undecided.

Thank you, but looks we are going to have a ZERO of the EXE series (Shooting Star Rockman is EXE's relevant X series, in terms of design wise and X series references).

Well, didn't they say, with the opening of the contest, that you were at least allowed to basically have a "preference" for which series your design pertained to the most?
Obviously, an EXE/Ryuusei design was probably going to end up the winner, since kids were going to be the one stuffing the inbox for the contest. But I don't think the end product will be either of those games.
-
I just hope for more ZX, ryuusei will end with part 3.
I HOPE.... :\
-
...I've seen better looking "boss" designs in our own art forum, and that's seven times out of 10 not a good thing.
As long as this gets ripped apart by Zero in some form, I'm fine with it. But for the love of god, no more EXE or Starforce. I'm delighted 3 ended the series, though EXE 3 was supposed to be the end, then they whipped out that half-assed pile of turd called EXE4.

One problem: There hasn't been a main series game in awhile, and by the looks of it this thing's appearance looks like something relaiting to EXE and Starforce, so there may be a new series based upon those two to please the kiddies.

Does he have a clock for an Eye? (http://www.newgrounds.com/collection_assets/0/title_114.jpg)

Well, it's painfully obvious that a new "Hobby-Style" Rockman is what this new product is going to be. EXE is what gave Capcom a license to print money back in the day. Ryuusei didn't quite live up to EXE's legacy, so it was killed off, in favor of starting anew for whatever this new project is.
At this point, those of us who have no love for the Hobby Style games, may have better luck waiting on "Scramble Battle" or something else to take shape.

Now one question remains: How will Zan be able to archive the series when he plays the games?
-
This looks like something Flame would draw.

Zan still has yet to beat SSR2. Let alone touched the third.
-
Aww....you and I have so much in common, Zan~ >U<
About the drawing...
Don't forget that when Capcom has a winner decided from a Rockman fan, their internal artists will redesign the character so it will fit into the series they are working on. Just like the last couple of contests, the Rockman fan's artwork is just a concept. Capcom's artists will take care of the final design for the character. So in the end, it doesn't have to be a Shooting Star character. Wait until Capcom's artists makes the final changes first. ^-^

ho ho ho that one slaps me on de knee
keyword being "might" anyway
-
I think it would be highly interesting to see a MM game where the internal artists were not involved.
The contest winners should be used without any redesign. Gold right there. Can you imagine the outcome?
-
Acid, do you know how many boobs that would result in?
-
Sky, do you see the hidden scheme within my scheme?

So, in the end, basically what I was saying.
*hi fives Vixy*

Indeed I do.

Hmm, that pose...
TOKI WO TOMARE!

I was thinking more of him trying to be... FABULOUS~ 8D
-
Dunno why, but for some reason I like it. I hope the inevitable Capcom redesign does improve it though.
Hmm, that pose...
TOKI WO TOMARE!
Looks nothing like ZA WARUDO, I see it really often, so I can certainly tell.
-
Another pesky EXE/Ryuusei Boss again?! >_<
Let there be ZX3!!!
-
Didn´t we alreaady have enough time based bosses? I just hope it won´t end up into something like CV judgement...altough [eyebrow]
-
I'm actually hoping this is a boss for a brand new series.
As much as I wanna see another ZX game, I don't want to see this guy in one.
I'm also hoping this isn't for another god damn card battle game.
-

I'd swear he was drawn in a "Hot Sexy Model" pose, with the arm above the head like that...
-
I'd prefer more platforming, but I wouldn't mind it being another card-based RPG. Just no more kids doing henshin and a closer to EXE battle system. Or it could be a card-based platforming with RPG elements, you know, like a mix between Network Transmission and ZX, that would be pretty good.

Network Transmission was kinda fun.. but Quickman's stage.. argh..
-
I never made it even that far. Transmission was just...eh.
Well, Protodude's ruled out RNR4, so all I can say is: This better be good, Capcom. And you'd better make Mr. Genius interesting.
Oh, and it's possible he only looks RNRish because the person who designed him simply had RNR in mind. He could get totally overhauled like Windman was.
-
I dub thee:
ClockMan.
Remember, there are a lot of similar bosses. WaveMan and BubbleMan, FireMan and FlameMan, etc. Well, now it could very well be TimeMan and ClockMan. The fan designs are often strange like this (see: MM8).
Otherwise, it's an EXE/SF design.
-
The Star Force series is typically pretty strict with its naming schemes and there are no clock based constellations, playing cards, or occult phenomena, so I think we can rule that out.
Most likely he'll be dubbed ClockMan and appear in Megaman 10. Though the X series did occasionally have human type mavericks, so maybe Zero will be chopping this guy in half.
In the end he'll end up on the bad side of a buster, so it's all good.
-
I dubeth thou, Clock Blocker.
-
there are no clock based constellations
Here's the way I see it: Clock Genius himself is a given of what's to come, his design possibly carries the SSR tradition of basing characters off of constellations/star systems. With a little research, we can pen Clock Genius' inspiration on the "Horologium" system, a distant constellation associated with a pendulum. (In fact, if you look at Clock Genius's torso, you can see what appears to be a pendulum).
=/
-
Remember, each Megaman series has different boss & character:
Megaman - Accersories
Megaman X - Animal & Myth
Megaman EXE - Netnavi counterpart from original series
Megaman Zero - Myth...(I don't know if constellation count too :\)
Megaman ZX & ZXA - Some cuboid animal based.
Megaman Star Force - Constellation (Too many different here, MSF1:Constellation, MSF2:Story book, MSF3:Card motif)
Megaman Legend - Giant robot thingy :\
Maybe Megaman EXE... Clockman.EXE anyone. :\?
-
Megaman Legend - Giant robot thingy
Man... MML had great enemy designs. Reaverbots were damn cool.
-
MSF2:Story book
I think that would go in the Cryptozoology category. (Yeti, Lochness Monster, etc.)
-
Mostly i think Capcom need redesign them first & there showing use how good Clock Genius is......
Wait just one only...... :\
-
I just hope they still have my Legends 3, ZX3 and MMX9 in their minds otherwise this new series better something different or we may have another MMBN4 fiasco.
-
Well, Legends characters get various cameos in newer games. So that is still present in their mind.
About ZX3... I think I lost hope for that already.
-
Eh, I wouldn't. Unless Inti is really that deeply involved in whatever Capcom is making now, they should still be available for something else. Maybe a ZX3 will occur then, when the time is right...
On another note....didn't know you were a fellow BASARA fan, Acid... 8)
-
Less the games than the anime I must admit. Got some artbooks though. Cool stuff in there.
Inti better be involved with something big. Then we get something at least.

Oh please.
