While the hadouken and shoryuken was there for fanservice purposes, I wonder did Light and by that token Magma Dragoon learn those moves? I am not sure the Mega Man series shares the same universe as SF but still Hadouen uses ki, not plasma energy. About the only moves Dragoon doesn't have is the Asura Warp, Tatsumaki and the notorious Shun Goku Satsu techiniques. Even so, where did he acquire them? Even if there are in the same universe, I highly Ryu and Ken would had lived that long.

Dragoon wears Akuma's prayer beads

Perhaps he learned the techniques from Akuma, killed him and took the beads




but Dragoon is just a big homage to Akuma so who knows

Dragoon learnt them by studying footage of X from the first two incidents
X learnt them from Light, obv
Light learnt them from watching Street Fighting tournaments; he was secretly a huge martial arts nerd (hence the getup)

Then Dragoon hid himself in a volcano to perfect them. But it will require a year or more to perfect said moves, and Dragoon doesn't have the Weapon Variable System that X has. Other than that he was an obvious nod to Street Fighter (Who wasn't a nod to other games in this series?)

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.

Nothing more to it, you answered your own question. Congrats.

Well, Capcom and their licensees, all seem to like amusing the idea that Mega Man may share the same universe as Street Fighter, or that there may be a Street Fighter that coexists with the Mega Man Universe. Be it Street Fighter moves in the X series, (Light/X/Zero/Dragoon/Tails Clan) or Wily as a Shadaloo Scientist in Udon's Street Fighter, it wouldn't surprise me if Light studied martial Arts when he was a young lad, maybe participated in a Street Fighter Tourney or two, and later decided to go to university for Robotics instead.

...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.

Archetype's reply = /thread. Otherwise, free promotion.

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

Stil, I wish that they put in the Tatsumaki, Ashura Warp and Shun Goku Satsu in there so that akuma reference is complete and that players can go 'ughh'.

Dragoon has Akuma's drop kick and his hop can be considered Ashura Senkku
