The fact that you said, "he/she was hot" worries me, Elpis. Anyways, I think the reason Regal isn't in EXE6 is because there's no SciLab in EXE6. Thus you don't encounter him.

Thank you, Zan. That was very helpful. And of course computers still exist. Geo has one that you need to reconnect in SF2. This will help me greatly.

News and Announcements / Re: Want Legends 3? Get Ready To Make Your Voices Heard!

« on: December 05, 2009, 11:29:12 PM »

Legends 3, so we can stop wondering about what happened after Legends 2. WE NEED A CONCLUSION! It's not fair to keep us hanging this long. Although I do agree some other old Capcom series' could use updates, including Gargoyle's Quest (some old NP's I recently received cover the two games, thus intriguing me), I feel that Legends is the one that needs a new sequel.

Heck, I think they should do it on the DS. Top screen could be persistent map, bottom could be 3-D with camera controls. We already know that the DS is more than capable of doing it, and I think that it is more accessible than the consoles (plus busting Reaverbots into scrap whenever and wherever appeals to me). Pausing could bring the menu down to the bottom screen, and you could use the stylus to scan the map. The control scheme needn't change much either; the only difference is no L2, R2, or joysticks. But, as I said, camera controls could be on the touch screen, a la SM64DS. L and R could handle strafing. Y could be the Buster and X would be the special weapon. A would be whatever Circle did, and B would be jump. Or hold L and use Left and Right to strafe in the indicated direction (Up and Down could hand forward and backward evasive rolls) and R could be lock-on. Well? Thoughts?

tl;dr Legends 3 on DS
L + D-Pad = evasive maneuvers
R = Lock-on
X = Sp. Weapon
Y = MegaBuster
B = Jump
A = Skate, Interact, etc.
Start = Pause
Select = Menu

Top Screen = Map
Touch Screen = Gameplay, Camera controls

Shooting Star / Game Character/Real Life Correlations

« on: November 10, 2009, 10:58:36 PM »

Basically, I've been thinking about character associations in the games and the relation to star/constellation location and myths. Here is what I've found.

Star Force 1
In the game, Cepheus, King of Planet FM, uses the weapon Andromeda. In mythology, Cepheus, King of Aethiopia, was the father of Andromeda.

In game, the three satellite admins are Dragon Sky (Draco), Pegasus Magic (Pegasus), and Leo Kingdom (Leo). If you look at a star chart, Pegasus is directly opposite Leo, and Draco is in between the two.

In mythology, Pegasus was ridden by Perseus to save Andromeda. The constellation Perseus, coincidentally, is directly opposite Draco in the night sky.

Star Force 2
In the game, Altair and Vega were lovers. Altair dies in a war, fueling Vega's rage. In the sky, Altair and Vega are two points of the Summer Triangle, the third being Deneb.

Vega wants to become a god in the game. The star Vega is the fifth brightest in the night sky. In 12,000-14,000 years, it will also become the new North Star.

Star Force 3
In game, Virgo and Corvus are two criminals from Planet FM. In the sky, the constellations Virgo and Corvus are celestial neighbors.

Spica is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo, and is also the name of the mall in game.

In game, Sirius tries to devour Planet FM with his black hole. The star Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, and might end up as a black hole after it dies.


Feel free to correct me on game info, if I was wrong. I brought this up because it's cool to see that Capcom did their homework, and star/constellation relationships are matched in-game. Thoughts?

Sorry for the necropost, but I felt this was the best place to ask this. When exactly did everything switch from computers to EM technology?

Is actually a regular Nova. The kind that binary systems have when they absorb matter from their partner and blow up, then repeat over and over again for millions of years. Also known as diarrhea novas.
