This has got to be my favorite character design in the entire Mega Man franchise. Such a shame that it's just a glorified radiation suit for Sean. When I first saw this picture, I thought it was going to be a kick ass boss for MMBN2. I'm not the only one who felt this way, am I?

You can't hot link.
If DZ were here right now, you'd be banned for hot linking.

I miss DZ...
Him.. Asvel... Hitomi...

Well, Hitomi just got fed up with RPM actually.

But DZ and Asvel dropped off the face of RPM

Last I saw DZ was in MegaTen, I'm sure he still plays it.
But as for otherwise, I don't know where he is or what he's doing.

wait, Hitomi left? DDD:

Have you seen Hitomi around lately? I think not.
The most I've seen of her is on Steam, buyin' games I wish I could.

Yeah, I suppose it's a good, menacing disguise for terrorist orphans. It's probably not my favorite character design in the series, but it's alright. Then again, I haven't put much thought into what I think about the designs of the series, so...

Quite honestly, I'm shocked you'd even play a game like Battle Networks. Shouldn't you be screaming about how its the most YuGiOh thing ever?

This is quite possibly the worst design I've seen on anything.

CG, Objection Man basically hates EXE/SF completely, so it's a moot point in arguing with him.

But yeah, it is. At least in the anime, he was a robot.

Now that I look at it, this is something that Lady GaGa would wear. But then again, why NOW are we discussing the "middle man" of the first half of the Battle Network saga?

Don't you mean Battle Doll Angelic Layer? They fall in the similar concepts of fighting avatars, with family drama at the end. Except one's with avatars and the other with competetive toys.

Except that the internet and these avatars essentially make up the core of their lifestyles, as in, nothing works in their world without the internet, so it's not just "playing".

Nothing works in Yugioh without Duel monsters either... Childrens card games on motorcycles are srs business. A guy who murdered his friend is going to duel you instead of yknow, just killing you.

It was clearly explained that everything operates by the internet, and that Navis are tools to help navigate said net. It's not [tornado fang]ing comparable to Yu-Gi-Oh, because unlike Battle Network, there's no given reason for all the grimdark serious card battle bullshit.

Navis being able to battle are probably a fringe benefit or something.

Sean who? remember he wasn't in the anime at all
Title: Re: Wasted Potential
Post by: Mirby on July 25, 2010, 05:41:56 AM
Exactly, Tai. As I said, same design, but he was just a robot built by Wily.

And to build off of what Spectro said, the only reason Navis can battle is to protect their Operator's comps and their PETs from viruses. Naturally, Navis battling each other grew from that. Most Navis don't even have their own weapons like the GutsPunch or Rockbuster; some can't even fight at all (like Silk).

And unlike Yu-Gi-Oh where, as someone said, a person who murdered his friend will just duel you, some people in EXE-land will kill. See the fools at the end of EXE6 who, upon losing their Navis, decide to use their own bodies to attack Netto, since he's a puny child and doesn't have Rock's power at his disposal as in a NetBattle.

Don't forget when Wily tried to ACTUALLY destroy the world with a virus-implanted missile in the first game is also something that nobody within the right mind in the Yugi-Verse won't do. Hell, even Wily tried the same stunt twice with the Cybeasts (minus the missile).

There are also terrorists/extraterrestrials that want the world gone, even the extraterrestrial wanted that planet dead.

Lol, I wasnt being serious. I was kidding around bout the yugioh thing.

The EXE anime was so messed up. They even ignored the Megaman = Hub part. Making Megaman a run of the mill navi who just happens to always win because he's megaman.

Although- The movie WAS all kinds of awesome.

I know, but that was for those that think the EXE thing is no diffrent than YGO. It's more like Digimon (Digital Worlds, Ancient Monsters, etc) in a sense. Each kid has a guardian that kicks all kinds of ass and feeds them/installs something to make them even more uber.

Weell, At least Zero got his due Screentime in the anime.

And I loved the Zero One deal. It was like Zero vs Omega all over again. but- in EXE.

Zero EXE was such a wasted concept in the games... He deserved more screentime after Transmission. Only the Anime really fleshed him out any. The fact that they  MADE him the virus, was real interesting. Especially when you get to thinking about him, and how although he looks like a netnavi, he's really an overgrown Virus that can talk and think.

Darkloids are solo navis that hate humans with a passion.  Zero was a virus that was made by Wily, but Wily couldn't find a use for him so eventually the Professor dude used him and somewhere along the way he developed his own will and could think.  Yuichiiro Hikari then turns him into a net navi.
Title: Re: Wasted Potential
Post by: Mirby on July 25, 2010, 09:09:37 AM
As shown in the anime, Darkloids are NOT Net Navis. They are a collection of data that was sparked to life, basically. Hence how Blues went from Net Navi to Darkloid. They are separate. Aren't viruses basically that? Data that was sparked to life?

I think he used those wine-like pseudo dmiensional generators that Professor created.

Unfortunately I don't get to edit those couple episodes, and I also haven't watched them in a while, so I can't say for certain.

But I can say that in one of the episodes I did, Enzan clearly states that viruses infected with the Zero virus get the ability to materialize in the real world. So without watching Ep. 18 again, I'd just have to assume that Zero was able to do as he pleased and willed himself into the real world. It's one of his magic plot-worthy powers.

Shademan did that magical converter materialization too in Axess.
When he attacked Regal's boat, to be exact.
Title: Re: Wasted Potential
Post by: Mirby on July 26, 2010, 12:35:25 PM
But that was when he made his own dimensional converter. Same thing Regal had done in the past on multiple occasions.

Title: Re: Wasted Potential
Post by: Sidier on August 19, 2010, 09:59:18 AM
Hello there.

Regarding your question of how Zero was able to materialize on the real world, the explanation is the following:

After the defeat of the Super Cybeast Greizar (on Episode 25 of Beast), the 'Professor' began to rebuild it and upgrade its 'Beast Factor' into the 'Zero Virus'. The Zero Virus upgrade to the 'Beast Factor' allowed Net Navis to materialize at will without Dimensional Areas or Copy Roids. Zero was installed that program, obviously, and that's how it can materialize.

Another example are the Phantom Darkloids created by Cache. They also have the ability to materialize on the real world at will.

Hope this helps answer your questions.

Sidier.
