For example, you can easily kill the shisaroids with Rospark as long as you turn away when they jump in the first fight. Fight two it will not work.

Bifrost can chomp away at the carrier on Queenbee and block her missiles/bees.

Bifrost clears the blocks in the last area easily.

Rospark> Snake Miniboss.

Etc.

Translation:

Let's justify and talk up a gimmick that does nothing to enhance gameplay.

[hard knuckle] that.

Quite the touchy one aren't you?

Either way, they are a bit more useful than let on, especially if experimented with. The game's system of canceling invincibility on bosses for new moves makes great for mixing and matching.

Those aren't Biometals...
theyre A-Trans'

...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.

Yeah, it's not that the "A trans" aren't all useful or damaging enough to use.

It's that some are TOO useful *cough* CHRONOFORCE *cough*

Some are too useful, some aren't useful enough. It's really unbalanced...

Yeah.

The game would be far better balanced if Chronoforce's charge move was to shoot the miniCronos and not to freeze time.

It's a shame, but lot's of MM games have their "metal blade" effect.

Chronos takes his good amount of WE though. and on hardmode, god damn.

We're talking ALL of them, not just Chronos.

I don't know. Would OIS bounce off of quickman as well?

Either way, this topic is a bit derailed....

Game over man.
Now we'll have threads asking if X or Copy-X made the Pantheons or something, and it'll never get answered. The topics will just go off track at the speed of light.

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

And X probably did, Pantheons originally were not made for combat.

Is that why they are so weak?
I rather liked the concept art of them being more like a mind control device that latched on to a reploids face. I remember seeing that somewhere. I think in ZCW.
