Rockman Series / Was Dr. Light the real evil in the series?
« on: January 17, 2011, 03:47:08 PM »
Before you all shout "BULLSHIT" and probably prove me wrong (I kinda hope you do) please read this (more or less taken from Tvtropes:

The original series has Mega Man  vs. Dr Wily, with the latter never being executed for his actions. Eventually, Doctors Light and Wily make their final works, X and Zero, with the program that would become the Maverick virus created sometime in the interim and implanted into Zero's body.

The Mega Man X series has the program absorbed from Zero into Sigma, who becomes the new Big Bad and spreads the new Maverick virus. The virus is destroyed with Cyber Elves, but the source of said Elves is taken over by Dr. Weil, causing the Elf Wars that ravage the earth and kill off billions of humans and reploids. Again the human villain is not exectued, leading us to the Mega Man Zero series.

After that, humanity and reploids merge into a single species seen in the Mega Man ZX  series.

In the Mega Man Legends series, it's revealed that humanity has been entirely replaced by Carbons, robots that perfectly mimic humans. The last human died before the series started. So, because humanity couldn't put down the human villains, not only did humanity eventually die, but the original villains were partially vindicated: Dr. Wily ended the robot war and changed the world through Zero, who would never have been built if Wily was killed after the sixth game, and Sigma more or less got his wish of a human free world, since they all died and were replaced by robots.

I realize this assumes that Legends is the distant sequel to everything, but still.....

Original / Idea for Mega Man 10 (well, 11 now).
« on: September 09, 2010, 03:49:58 PM »
This was something I thought of a while ago.  Capcom could have easily solved the debate about Mega Man not having his slide and charged shot.   Why didn't they just do what they did in Powered Up?  Give us a Mega Man, Mega Man with slide, and Mega Man with slide and charge shot.  Proto man could have just played like he did in Powered Up, with the dash from Power Fighters. The latter could actually make use of his shield (like the jump does now) as opposed to just being for cool factor.

Thoughts?

Zero / Audio Dramas...
« on: July 20, 2010, 05:00:32 AM »
Does anyone have a link to a translation of the audio drama tracks from the remixed albums?  I found one a while back, but it's gone now.

Zero / Why didn't Copy X just blast the Resistance base?
« on: June 20, 2010, 10:47:03 PM »
I just realized something.  Before Zero came along, the Resistance fighters were more or less useless against Neo Arcadia.  Why didn't Copy X just crush them when he had the chance?  He clearly has ICBM-level weaponry, and his army easily tore through the soldiers in the opening cutscenes.  Hell, the Big4 could've killed everyone in there by themselves.

The only reason that Copy-X wouldn't level the place would be Ciel's presence.  Since he's refusing to kill a human, why not just drag her out before blowing the place up?  Clearly, he knows where it is, because Hanumachine broke in fairly easily, and Hittide Hottide was airlifted directly there.

Thoughts on this?

Original / Does Proto Man's shield count as a support unit?
« on: May 02, 2010, 01:08:32 AM »
I just realized he uses it as the basis for the P. Coil and P. Jet, and we really don't know where it came from....

Zero / Story Retcons?
« on: April 26, 2010, 08:47:02 PM »
http://www.themmnetwork.com/2010/04/09/does-the-rockman-zero-collection-storyline-explain-everything/

I couldn't really make much sense out of some of the story bits here, but the writers just hacked apart 80% of what was originally canon.  

For starters, the Roboenza outbreak seems to be referenced at the beginning as the reason Light built X....except Light supposedly built X to create a robot with true free will and that Suffering Circuit.  Of course, I could be wrong and the Circuit is that Virus countermeasure.

Zero's creation seems to parallel Proto Man's.  He was unwilling to obey orders, so Wily sealed him rather than start from scratch.  

Apparently the Roboenza virus could mutate like a real virus, and somehow got into Zero's capsule and mutated into the Sigma virus that started the X series.

Lastly, the Guardians are now made from pieces of X's soul as opposed to his DNA.

Thoughts on this?

X / X Collection Extras
« on: April 12, 2010, 04:59:10 PM »
I read somewhere that X Collection was originally supposed to have a host of extras instead of the basic collection that we were given.  Does anyone know what they were?

Original / Should MM11 (if it's made) be 8Bit?
« on: March 28, 2010, 09:38:18 PM »
MM9 and 10 were beautiful, but they were 8bit.  Am I the only one that thinks that they shouldn't make the next one 8bit?   The NES thing was fun the first time, but we've kinda moved past that by now...

Rockman Series / Song homages?
« on: March 28, 2010, 09:10:25 PM »
Anyone else notice that a lot of music is reused in the various series?

The Dr Wily Stage theme from MM5 was a rearrangement of MM4, Network Transmission had snippets from the original RM tunes....

Anyone notice any others?  There's more, I just can't remember any.

Shooting Star / Two things about MMSF3.
« on: March 09, 2010, 12:40:38 AM »
Since I haven't made a new thread in a while....

Two things.  One's a question, the other is an opinion.

1) Does anyone know a good place to farm giant viruses?
2) Am I the only one unimpressed with RogueZZ?

X / Does anyone know....
« on: January 30, 2010, 01:03:45 AM »
Where one might find translations of those Rock Man X Mega Mission Cards?

(I've GOT to stop making so many threads)

Rockman Series / Theory?
« on: January 29, 2010, 03:19:58 AM »
What's the craziest, most off-the-wall theory you ever heard, read, or come up with?

For me it was either:

1) Light and Wily are brothers.
2)Girouette is Zero and Layer's son.
3) X killed off the Classic cast.

X / How is X the first robot to "think and feel"?
« on: January 26, 2010, 06:16:32 AM »
Most of the following is cribbed from this guy: http://www.mmhp.net/Commentaries/Musing58.html

To quote him:

Quote from: Whatsisname
In Mega Man X, Dr. Light wrote on X’s capsule that X was the first robot able to think, feel, and make his own decisions. If the Robot Masters in Mega Man’s time could do this already, why would Dr. Light imply on X’s capsule that X was a new and different thing?

Maybe, people will say, X was already built and sealed away by this point in time. Maybe he was even the prototype that Dr. Light used when building the Mega Man 9 Robot Masters. This explanation doesn’t work, however, because why then wouldn’t Dr. Light have sealed away the Robot Masters as well?

The fact of the matter is, Dr. Light was afraid of X. That’s why he put him in the capsule in the first place. He feared X would take his new freedom and decide to do something disastrous. So Dr. Light sealed him away until his loyalty could be confirmed—which he knew would not occur during his lifetime. So this rules out the Robot Masters being able to be confirmed when X couldn’t—and if they could, why wouldn’t Dr. Light release X at that time as well?

While this overlooks the possibility of X being built after the MM9 fiasco, he does raise a good point.  What exactly makes X so special besides that Suffering Circuit?

Original / Power Fighters Special Attacks.
« on: January 09, 2010, 05:58:36 PM »
The specials are as follows:

Charge your buster to the second level. (Yellow)

Now, while holding that, hold up on the analog stick. Your character will do their special move.

Mega Man: Three hit Shoryuken.

Proto Man:Short-range, three hit plasma flamethrower. (Use against Shade Man when he does his Noise Crush for an interesting result)

Bass: A flip kick. Three hits, but has a tendency to push Bass into whoever he's using it on.

Duo:An uppercut. Press Jump to jump, then hit Attack to have him attack again.

Now, in the "Find Wily" section, the attacks all change.   Duo gets an extra punch before his uppercut, Protoman's flamethrower lasts longer and Bass gets another flip kick.  Mega Man, however, stays the same, but supposedly gets a new move.

Anyone ever see it?

EDIT:This is for the Anniversary Collection for the Gamecube.  As far as I know it works the same on the other versions, but I've never played those.

Original / Does Bass seem "Emo" to you?
« on: January 09, 2010, 05:00:49 PM »
Bass was introduced as a rival and foil to Mega Man.  Basically, his evil counterpart.

However, we already had two or three versions of this.  The Mega Man copy, Proto Man, and Quint all followed the same plot in their initial appearances.

The main difference with Bass was that he was actually his own character.  Now a lot of people label him an "emo" angst-bucket in the style of Shadow the Hedgehog...never mind that Bass predates the latter by about a decade.  And then there's the fact that Bass expresses no emotions besides pride and anger...

X / Sigma Virus question
« on: December 16, 2009, 04:52:19 AM »
I'm confused about something.

Sigma, in X3, says that he's going to infect X and use his body to take over the world, etc.

Now, someone, I don't know who, said that X was immune to the virus's effects due to technically not being a Reploid.   This was never stated in the games, though.

.....Am I missing something here?

ZX / How was Albert going to "reset the world"?
« on: December 06, 2009, 08:50:50 PM »
Ouroboros was basically a giant floating metallic ship....that does absolutely nothing besides spawn Mavericks.

Short of repeating Weil's Ragnarok/ Sigma's Eurasia gambit, I don't see how it by itself was so dangerous.  How was Albert going to do anything with it?

X / What do you want to see in X9?
« on: November 13, 2009, 01:22:11 AM »
If (And this is a big IF) they decide to make a X9, what do you want to see in it?

ZX / Who exactly created the Biometals?
« on: October 29, 2009, 01:27:45 AM »
In ZX, Ciel is shown to have created the original biometals and ROCK/MEGA system to combat Model W/V which was made from Ragnarok.  ZXA implies that Albert created them, and built hundreds of Model W's based off the core fragment Serpent merged with in the previous game.  Then it says that he encoded them with his own data so that only certain people could unlock and merge with them.

What am I missing here?  I'm confused...

Fan Creations / Since this is the fan created section...
« on: October 27, 2009, 05:26:25 PM »
I'll share some of my (just starting out, so bear with me here) writings with you:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5401364/1/Crash

I hope you like it.  It's an original idea, and once I get everything organized, it should flow pretty smoothly...

Zero / Are the Big 4 technically X's children?
« on: September 28, 2009, 08:37:33 PM »
I can't help but notice that someone mentioned that they were created from his direct DNA data.  Does that make him their father?  After all, we don't know who built them, and they seem fiercely loyal to him (Well, his clone,but they don't know that).

Thoughts?

Rockman Series / How did you get interested in Mega Man?

Rockman Series / Out of all the villains...
« on: September 26, 2009, 10:58:37 PM »
Which one was the most evil?

Who do you think was the most vile, despicable, cruel, evil bastard in the entire franchise?

For me, it's probably Dr. Weil, but what do you guys think?

25
Zero / Was Copy X really evil?
« on: September 26, 2009, 03:56:02 AM »
At first, it seems like it, but then I started thinking about it from an unbiased perspective.

Copy X is only protecting the humans, in his own way.  The Reploid mass murder argument falls flat when you realize that Reploids are merely robots; sentient (for the most part) robots, but only robots.  From what the people in MMZ4 said, they had a great life under Copy X; his death and Weil's takeover was probably the worst thing that could have happened to them.  As far as they know, Zero's as bad as Weil.

Thoughts?
