Rockman Series / Re: Megaman Doujin Game

That's cool, keep your little click. I didn't wanna be in it anyways. So, anyone who's not a hater gonnna point me in a direction that's not made of FAIL?

It's not a clique. Distributing the ISO to those without the game would get him in serious trouble, I think.

Sounds like a good team-up, except Megaman isn't terribly comfortable around his Vocaloid companion.

Well, Rock was never that tall in the first place...Good thing the Chocobo doesn't mind that he's got a death grip on its neck.

I may be wrong, but Ciel created Models X, Z, L, H, P, and F; Albert created Model A (and may have messed with the originals).

I hope so too (and that Mom doesn't decide that I have to wait until Christmas for it).

As long as we're waiting, I misewell share this with you: http://www.ummagurau.com/writing/video/forte/index.htm It was compiled before MMnB was released in English; this page is rather special to me, as it was one of the first Megaman-related pages I ever visited, and where I learned about the Megaman Killers/Hunters, Stardroids, Tango, and the Genesis Corp. Problem was, this fellow wasn't well-versed in Megaman, so I was still largely in the dark after coming away from it. (I also wondered, "Since when did anyone call Protoman 'Darkman'?" Heh...)

Anyone else remember the first MM site they ever visited? (Mine'd technically be the Megaman HQ, but it was in shambles even in middle school...)

So, a while ago I asked Mr. Ariga about the game canon and his manga (how they fit together, specifically). He responded:

 RADIX Said: @1:16 AM

Hi; I'm sorry I can only speak English, but I'm afraid that I can't translate this properly. (Also, Gigamix looks like a good read from what I've seen of it)

There is a matter I'd like to have resolved. One fellow thinks that Megamix/Gigamix should be included in debates about Rockman's canon, because you know a good deal about it, and thus whatever's in the manga has canological value (as I put it). However, I think that it's a flawed idea, because we still can't be sure about how much is canon and how much is your idea.

I'm wondering; how much of Breakman in Gigamix is true to the games, and how much is your idea? I'd appreciate it if you could answer that, so that argument could hopefully be put to rest. ^^
**************************************************
↑の返事(Answer)↓です。

Hello and thank you for your message! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond.
It's very exciting for me to receive a comment from someone overseas.
However, I must admit that I am not able to communicate in English.
I wanted to make an exception this time, as it was the first English comment I received, so I asked someone to translate your message for me and this response to you. Please understand that I will not be able to reply to any further English messages, though I do deeply appreciate your support.

Regarding your question about the position of Megamix and Gigamix in relation to official canon, I think the best way for me to describe it would be as "a spin-off that has been approved by the rights holders."
I should make it clear that my stories are not to be considered official canon.
Similar to how there are many fictional novels based on the Star Wars world, Megamix and Gigamix should be considered from that same angle.

That's basically what I had in mind when writing the original "Mega Man Remix."
I took Capcom's official canon/information and arranged/mixed it up for Remix, Megamix, and Gigamix.

To be more specific, the Breakman in Gigamix is portrayed the way I personally interpreted his character when playing the game.
Therefore, my Breakman from Gigamix should not be considered official in any way.
Of course, he is one of the official characters on the most basic level, as that is who he is based on, but the Breakman in Gigamix is one to which Capcom said, "This Breakman will be fine as a Gigamix Breakman."

In summary, I think the clearest way to explain it for you and your friend would be to say that I hope you will continue to enjoy both the game and my manga, but as two separate entities.

I hope that answers your question, and again I would like to thank you for your support.

Of course, by now that argument's over, but I'm just glad that he took some time to answer my question.  8)

Was there ever any official art showing Bass with a triangular head crystal? Because I could swear I once saw a pic of Bass with a triangular head crystal...

It was in R20; I'm pretty sure it's still in this thread somewhere.

Holy fuckballs, I went for the obscure on this one. The Drawvelles are from "Happily Ever After", a pseudo-sequel to Disney's Snow White made by Filmation. I liked it, though I haven't seen it in forever (and Maliss was scary as hell).

I got "Pocky and Rocky with Becky" for the GBA several years ago and beat it in one night. Memories...

* Becky/Miki was just a palette swap of Pocky (I ended up using her the most because of her powers), so I cut her hair.

*I forget where Miyo came from (Space Invaders '95, maybe?), but she didn't appear in the series proper and has no English name.

I think they priced it that high since it's an old and rare (or at least uncommon) book--that, or it's in perfect condition. (Mine has some wear and tear, according to the description)

I've seen quite a few artists depict regular X with red eyes, including Ariga (look at the Remix cover) and the artist of the X7 4-komas. What's up with red-eyed X, anyway?

Thanks. :) Man, not even the "official guide" had much to say about Proto; no wonder he's portrayed in so many different ways.

Incidentally, Mom ordered TOTMM for me a few minutes ago (it was cheap), so perhaps I can post some scans soon. (Not the one we ordered, but someone wanted over eighty goddamned bucks for their copy. Holy fuckballs.)

Thought I'd take a shot at Ariga's rendition of Breakman. Ariga Breakman is the sex. (That argument Zan and I got into about whether or not Ariga's mangas had canological value to the games? Not so much.)

Blagh, I've been off the Photoshopmobile too long.



(And before anyone says otherwise--Ariga's mangas are incompatible with the games. End of story. Quality =/= game canon.)

Not even the biting cold of the only continent untouched by humans can stop Megaman.






Has to do with an incident later in NINE (about 2030). That thing in the distance is Genna, a nation founded in 2015 or so by robots dissatisfied with life among humans. It failed miserably.

One battles the Heartless, the other the Dis-Souls/Unversed. (Despite that thing up there absolutely not being the Unversed emblem)


I simply had to draw this. 8D Bugs Bunny, noble trickster in whatever kingdom he's from, continues to not wear pants (I don't remember Bugs wearing pants in any of the shorts--lots of skirts, though). I don't remember if I ever wondered about there being an enemy attributed to souls back in '02, but at any rate, "Dis-Souls" was a theorized name for a third faction of nasties in KH. Dunno if the Unversed fit yet.

July 2, 2030, Earth: An unknown alien crash-lands in the Antarctic. She is identified as "Jenova", but she refuses to elaborate on her home planet or even species. Jenova is allowed to walk freely about the residential areas of the research institute she is taken to, until numerous staff and other "residents" come down with a disease that swiftly and painfully kills them. After Jenova is determined to be the cause, she is put into isolation.

September 14: Dr. Light and Megaman are invited to the institute, SHINRA; while there, they are taken to Jenova's quarters. Both men are unnerved by her presence, though they cannot explain why.

September 20: Eight robots, selected by Dr. Yuri Wily, begin a wide-scale attack, and Megaman is sent to stop them. He doesn't think much of Jenova during this period, though she will come back into his life very soon...



I've found two ways to cross FF7 into NINE. The first, "Final Fantasy VII" is a movie. Not a high-budget or well-known one, just a movie with a cult following. Its actors have moved on to other things.

Two, Mommy Jenova. (The aforementioned disease is Geostigma; it works a bit differently than in FF7AC, since Sephiroth is just a movie villain in NINE and his actor, Stephen Vernon, is a nice guy)

People bash the cartoon for what it "did to" Mega, but at least Ruby-Spears didn't take him literally. Yeesh. I have to wonder why they wouldn't let the poor jailbait robot talk after upgrading him (aside from the fact that he didn't have any lines in MM1-3 and GB1).

I haven't got my hopes up since Roll got the shaft, but that book covers MM3, so what of Protoman?

When I first saw Xion's full-body artwork, I was disappointed that she didn't have a unique weapon. It occurred to me that no one in ORGXIII wields a hammer...

Her Limit Break would involve those giant nails. Remember Higurashi?


(Yes, I know that Xion's weapon is identical to Roxas's for a reason. No, I don't want to hear it yet.)

The Mega Man games themselves are referred to as historical simulations that allow people to learn about and interact with history. It's clever in a cheezy 80s way.

I'd love to see them try to explain the games with multiple endings.

Did Organization XIII get their hearts back?

Yes and no. This has to do with Hojo, and his actions in Kingdom Hearts (though Vexen was a similar character, I think); it's an idea I've been throwing around.

Hojo comes across the remains of ORGXIII while conducting research for another project. He learns that ORGXIII was composed entirely of people who lost their hearts, and begins to wonder if it's possible to restore them.

He spends the good part of a year collecting data on the individual members (including Xion), careful to make it as accurate as possible. The data goes into reconstructing their hearts; however, Hojo is forced to omit some details, such as Axel's betrayal, to keep harmony within the group if the experiment is a success.

And it is; ORGXIII reawakens, this time "complete". Most ecstatic at their new state, they thank Hojo; all he asks is that they stay by him, in case something goes wrong.

There are many problems with this, however.

For starters, Hojo's data was off. Most of ORGXIII have been left with inaccurate or false memories. Their powers are gone, as well; Hojo claimed that he couldn't reconstruct them no matter how hard he tried. Hojo didn't seem to be aware of the existence of Nobodies, either, as ORGXIII are now clones of their Somebodies, which wasn't their goal.

Finally, they're still evil. And they remember what Sora did to them...



Bleh. (And NO 358/2 DAYS SPOILERS. I'll probably have to modify this after playing that, I think, but I'd like to play it first.) I really just wanted to draw ORGXIII in something other than those leather jackets, before it spawned a plotbunny. Some of them were drawn sans references, like Zexion and Lexaeaus (whose hairstyles are screwed up). I regret putting all the pretty boys in the front, but the less pretty boys are taller.

:) Still wish Kaitlin didn't delete everything in her gallery twice...



Quote
This is the fellow mentioned earlier. Wuxa, the seventh child on Destiny Island--who almost no-one remembers because he drowned when they were very young. Except...he didn't, apparently. Wuxa doesn't remember anything in between walking down the beach and suddenly ending up "somewhere else", but Kairi and Riku remember the adults finding his corpse quite clearly--so what the hell's going on?

Wuxa doesn't have a weapon of any kind, instead relying on what can only be described as psychokinesis (that he says someone gave to him, rather than something he developed). He's very friendly, especially to Sora (who was only two when Wuxa vanished), but when it seems like things are getting even slightly out of hand, Wuxa begins panicking and doing whatever he can to set it right, even if his actions will only make things worse.


Despite the prominent X in his name, Wuxa was never associated with ORGXIII.


Quote
Sora's mom and dad, back when they lived on the Destiny Islands. While they're still alive, they don't remember their son, or anything about the other residents' past lives.


Quote
Gil, Anderson, and Eli are three of Sora's schoolmates. Anderson became interested in Sora after overhearing a conversation between him and the administration about Sora's parents (why he wasn't living with them), and convinced his pals Gil and Eli to try and help him out. They haven't been very successful, but they're still trying.

One day, while Sora was elsewhere during break, dark creatures descended upon the school. Gil and Anderson attempted to fight them off until Sora arrived, wielding some kind of key-sword...


Anderson is a very determined individual, and strong at that; no matter what, he will not stop until his goals are met. Gil is quiet, though her tendency to make inappropriate comments about people tends to alienate them. Eli has studied the "unknown" ever since he was young; his absence during the attack did not go unnoticed...


Quote
Plus some mammalbot.

* Rock has three distinct hairstyles in the Complete Works series: his regular bushy/messy hair (MM4), slightly messier hair (MM5), and a haircut (MM6). That style only slightly resembles his MM6 hair, because I didn't have references (d'oh!).


Quote
For a time, Set 2 was able to move about freely. No one suspected them.

From left to right: Bubble, Wood, Heat, Flash, Quick, Air, Crash, Metal. I tried to reflect their personalities in their clothes (like Crash's plain ensemble; I can't imagine he'd care too much about his clothes).


Quote
I wanted to draw Rock and Quint together, then it expanded into this. Megawoman, Megaman Shadow, Rock, Quint, and Blues, all...standing around, I guess.

Shadow kept looking like RS-Mega until I checked Ariga's sketch of Rock (I based Shadow's appearance off of him); Quint's attire was lifted from a fic of ~RandyPandy's, from memory.

I think it'd be interesting if, instead of meeting face-to-face, Rock and Megawoman communicated over dimensions (since there's already a few dimension-hoppers in NINE).
