I bequeath a boot to the head.

*THWAKK!*

As if we haven't covered Serges and Isoc enough, but the exceptionally stubborn need only look to X5.  Sigma's partner, appears to be Zero's father, seen in Zero's dreams, builds an "ultimate Sigma body" that is a fairly obvious Gamma knockoff.  Not to mention that giant W in the background, and his name in the X5 intro sequence. 

Again, I'm just asking questions.  As a writer, I'm curious about this kinda stuff.

However, just to throw this out there, you don't think that maybe, just maybe, this whole Wily thing is all the result of terrible game storytelling that the fans like us delve way deeper into than the actual people that wrote it up?

- those that were in Melee, but not in Brawl are back in some form. the clones are alternate costumes of their originals, and Mewtwo is playable. (i originally had Doc has his own character, but i rejected that idea. its one thing to have two characters named Link. its another to have Mario in two different getups occupying different spaces. i gave Mario a Dr. Mario move in place of FLUDD anyway. i don't want anything specific to one game.)

BULL. [parasitic bomb].  Dr. Mario WILL be Playable once more, once I get done with him.  He deserves more than just a Skin Swap, and I'm gonna see to that.

You know, with Inafune's comments on how Wily is alive, the fact that he's not in ZERO and ZX is a hopeful note that the Wily storyline must be concluded within the X-series.

But technically, was one ever started?  I mean, besides just speculation.

Need another opinion. Do you guys think mugshots are a must need? Does it improve the dialogs or colored text works fine?

PS: Check my avatar for the Phoenix Armor teleportation and the flame dash.

I don't think it's a must have, but I think it would be pretty awesome if they had Mugshots.

Also, your avatar kicks major [tornado fang]ing ass.

What reason do we have to believe that Wily lacked any consciousness prior to X2?  He has to have been around earlier to build Siggy's new body, one would think.  And what about the pre-X1 Zero-vs-Sigma headache of doom?

Zero fairly obviously outclassed X in X1, despite a seeming loss of power since facing Sigma (I know Marshmallow Man will argue to hell with me on that one, but I do not see TDoS Zero having X4 flashback Zero's strength).  Had Wily retaken Zero then, X would have been toast.

Then there's still the matter of both of Wily's evil Zeros confronting X openly while Nightmare Zero is liable to resort to foul play.

Again, I still don't think Wily has anything to do with Sigma's new body to begin with.  In X2, it seems to me like the X Hunters rebuilt Sigma.  In X3, Dr. Doppler did.  From the look of things, rebuilding the body is pretty easy.  It doesn't have to be Wily.  LoL, plus I still think he's dead.  As for the X4 Flashback W headache, I always assumed that was Zero's "GO KILL X" programming that was taking hold of him.

I don't think Zero outclassed X, but rather it was X's peaceful and gentle personality that held him back from reaching his full, possible Shining Finger potential.  It's possible though.  However, in the X4 flashback, I think it's Zero's raving madness that gives him his extra strength, more than anything else.

My post was more aimed at PB's notion of Wily merely repairing Zero time and time again just for him to "be further friends with X".

As for him not trying really hard, whether to blame the character or the scenario writers, I'm riding with the latter. Nothing a retcon can't solve anyway.

Well yeah, that's why I was hoping for a MHX2, although probably not as much as others who are more into the story than I am. 

I see the whole thing as Zero needing some room to grow, and/or having kinks to work out in the evilness strategy.  Let's be honest, neither X nor Zero were at the top of their game in X1, that's for sure.  And comparing the X2 evilness to the X5 evilness is a definite no-brainer for X5.

The whole thing is fun to brainstorm about.  Just how well would have Zero's viral immunity been established in X2, anyway?  Is he possibly building resistance over time, perhaps to the "impurity" of Sigma's data being in the equation?

But yeah, it's not about evil, it's not about conquest, it's about being superior.  If Wily just wanted to kill X for the sake of killing X, he could have done so rather easily in X1 or beforehand, not to mention the whole stab-in-the-back thing I brought up above (something which only Gate's Nightmare Zero ever attempted).  While Wily certainly seems to enjoy a match between them, it's supposed to prove something.  Now where does that leave him after the X5 stalemate?  Back to the drawing board, perhaps waiting to see where they grow from there.  And Sigma's attempts at killing Zero?  Between that and the disembodied X6 voice, it's a safe bet their alliance ended there.  If by chance Wily considers taking Sigma out of the picture a priority and not just a passtime, then I could honestly see him being involved in the copy chip arc.  But that depends on how much continuity means to whoever picks up the X-series after its current break.

Wait a tic...how could Wily have just easily killed X in X1 or beforehand?  Does this mean that you're implying that Wily is always in the background in some way, shape, or form?

IIRC, Zero's primary purpose is to kill X.  I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.  If that's the case, then why would Wily be in the background, continuing to repair Zero?  To further be friends with X?  How does that help Wily with his rivalry with Dr. Light? 

Again, I'm no expert on the whole grand scheme of the X storyline, but mainly it just seems like terrible storytelling to me.  It's mainly my own personal view, but I think the story would be better if Wily died believing that his final and greatest creation, Zero, would kill Light's greatest creation, X, in the future.

I gotta track down more MST3K, the only Godzilla flick I saw them do was Megalon.

Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster is the only other Godzilla movie they did.

They did PLENTY of Gamera's though!

If you submit yourself to death just because you know a Zero Laser is on the way, that's your problem.

LoL, if your health is high enough, you submit yourself TO death if you ARE Samus and you fire the Zero Laser.

If Wily could cheat death and wanted to rule the world, he'd have done so after Light croaked prior to X awakening.  He probably wouldn't have sicced Zero on Sigma in X6, either.  And he'd have had Zero stab X in the back in X2/X5 rather than openly confronting him.  Wily's presence in the X-series is not about ruling the world, it's about his rivalry with Light.

I think that's bad storytelling though.  Wily's goal has always been World Domination.  Why would he give that up?

So then how would you propose balancing him out without losing the animations and zany nature I had for his style?

I would say make him still punch and kick with the Cleats and such, and make the Yo-Yo his final hit in a Combo as well as his Smashes, but reduce their power a bit.  Perhaps only give him 1 or 2 good powerful Smashes, like his Forward and Up Air, or something like that.  Keep his Meteor Smash in though.
