It can SAY many things. Doesnt mean anyone will listen.

I think the main problem is that we're up against Capcom, who only listens to the SF and RE fans.

You can claim that nothing we say or do will have any effect on anything, but AFAIK Capcom's reputation has all but been completely destroyed. That's got to count for something.

402
And it's a good thing that Capcom treats its employees well and would listen to them if they wanted to revive Megaman!



...wait.

"Megaman heroes 1992", by lost-royo. Note that Woodman's design comes directly out of the MM2 manual.

404
I watched that video, and--Capcom actually listened to the fans about something? Wha?!

Oh, and Treleus: you realize that if our reputation does improve, the dickheads at PRC and TMMN who laugh at the other commenters and brag about how much better they are--they'll just find something else to try and shame us over.

Hell, maybe a full on 3D action platformer reboot.

Maybe I'm just naturally opposed to reboots, but...knowing current-Capcom? We'd end up with the MM equivalent of Bomberman: Act Zero or DmC.

If only I didn't assume that sites would remain where they were for all eternity. ;_;

Is it a bad sign when you can't really draw chibis/super-squats?

Tried to make him a bit more visibly pudgy, but as usual, it just looks like he's wearing a hoodie that's slightly too big on him.

Funtastic fact: Ran and Katyusha are the only Kalinka-bots I know of.

College-age Kalinka gets some very nice clothes (based off what she was wearing in NAdM #7).

Rock sleeps underneath a LOT of blankets, apparently. He also oversleeps nearly every day of the year, which stinks if you're impatient like Proto.

So apparently, the Megas ship Magnetman/Roll. It's a weird pairing to me, but it's nothing I can't have so fun with. (alas, how do I abstract magnets)

407
Where'd you hear that?

Well, Rhythm's not really evil, I think. Everyone else, though? RUN FOR YOUR LIFE



Quote
Perhaps as a consequence of my larger markers, the individual doodles seem to have gotten larger.


* Here's Tempo and my initial guess on her wardrobe (and Roll).

* I dunno why Proto is holding Star Swirl, other than that I was thinking of Star Swirl at the time.

* The cover art for Virtual Lab was...well, if I can draw better hands than that, something is wrong.

* Fairly certain that Topman's "id monster" (calls himself "Kino"?) is very good at trolling.

* Thinking about it, Slider and Techno were probably of similar height.

* Dat fur collar, man.

* It's a shame RMO might not see the light of day, 'cuz the redesigns and new armours were interesting.

* Not being a regular reader of Bob and George, I dunno if I got their Mom's colour scheme right. As for why she has a hand on Rock's shoulder--the expression I would've given George was very un-George-like, but I didn't want to erase it.

* I kept telling myself that I'd draw something Skullgirls-related.

* Proto, what have you been told about groping your little brother?

* I dunno why, but there was this rumour floating around about Toonmaker-Sailor Moon that one of the other Sailors (Jupiter, IIRC) would turn out to be the Moon Princess (one of the fellows who worked on Toonmaker SM said that it would've been Sailor Moon). I can't tell if it was supposed to be a plot device (a lie, to keep the baddies away from Sailor Moon) or an attempt at discrediting the would-be cartoon.

* Not sure how recognizable Slider is with that helmet on.

* Marina and Michelle both come from the eye-searing trainwreck known as Angel Warrior Comics. (Slider was in it, and I dunno if the author asked ~SLiDER-chan first) It's actually fairly difficult to tell what their exact designs were meant to be.

* Megami there was, like Slider, eventually taken out of the MM universe.

* Not only is the Cataclysm "Theory" almost completely baseless, it feels like something a thirteen-year-old would write. AFAIK it's 99% Zero effortlessly offing all of the major MM characters, 1% Zero being defeated at the last minute.

* Anyone got ~kevinxnelms's Megagirl series saved? Atomic Fire merged with that other site before I learned to save people's entire galleries.

* Techno/Ran was a pairing I saw a good bit of art for, though I'm not sure if it was "canonically" exclusive to The Primer Chronicles.

* That isn't the only goof to be found among MM7's sprites.

* (Roll what happened to your face) I did like the idea of Bass/Roll once upon a time (2006), but nowadays--unless I'm mistaken, the only basis for it comes from one of Izuki's mangas, and Bass was only "returning" Roll's affections because it pissed off Megaman. I need a bit more for a pairing than that.

* Too many sprite comics, I guess.

What's a "VHS tape"?

*looks at the many VHS tapes in the room*

*oh God I'm old*


We had tons more in the basement, but a while ago I had to help Dad toss most of them out because they were either stuff we had on DVD, so old that the damp tape(?) was a hazard to our VCRs, or both.

I swear, for a split second I was excited for that game...

This took over four hours to complete (Photoshop 3.4, with some minor edits and text added in Elements 7). For a spur-of-the-moment idea, that's way too long. x.x

Took a slightly different approach to this one; I picked the colours out before transferring it to the XP and its brighter-than-my-main-comp monitor, so that everything wouldn't turn out overly-dark. I'd like to think that it worked.

The idea itself was "Bass surrounded by his fan-made sisters (and Cantata W. Waltz)", since he has quite a few of those. Counterclockwise from roughly 7 o' clock: Slider, Techno, Ska, Rhythm, Fermata, and Piano.


* Slider is no longer a Megaman character, but the difference between her and Modern Slider is so noticeable that I can't help but think of the two as dimensional counterparts of sorts.

Apparently, at some point Slider and Bass had a falling-out (she became friends with Megaman), but reconciled before 21XX rolled around. At least, she was horrified by Bass's death at Zero's hands (Bob and George, Cataclysm, etc.).

* Techno is described as an "anti-helper". She's often wearing a Bass-like helmet, and I've seen several different interpretations of her hair. This one's based on ~ThEmbrsmntNinjaKitty's version.

* If Ska's energy is not periodically drained, her core will explode--Bassnium doesn't seem to be compatible with her systems. Although she was made to support Bass like Roll does Megaman, she prefers to constantly belittle him instead.

* Rhythm seems to be the least antagonistic of everyone here, but I imagine that angering her badly enough is a mistake you only make once. (Also, is it just me, or is that hammer off-center?)

* Fermata is mostly harmless until she's provoked; she'll fly into an unstoppable, incredibly destructive rage, then forget what she just did and pretend everything's fine. One must wonder if she really is forgetting.

* Piano kidnapped Megaman, then briefly impersonated Roll. Appropriately, she's a copy of the latter, meant to serve a similar purpose (little sister for an older male 'bot)--with the bonus of being able to impale you on icicles whenever she wished. (Well, sorta. Her powers are augmented by cold weather, IIRC)

* Cantata W. Waltz (combination of fanon and official names) isn't quite "Bass's sister", but she's the closest we have to an official Wily-made female RM (Fort Guardian?).


(If I bungled any info, please feel free to correct me)

...I'm sorry. I've forgotten how to read.

412
Wow, .Hack. There's something I haven't seen in years. IIRC it tasted like watered down Kingdom Hearts gameplay with random dungeon generation. Not a bad taste, though, I should say.

Where in this thread was .hack mentioned?

Solicitation for #20. Looks like we're in time travel country now.

414
So basically, there's nothing we can do.

I kinda already knew that, but man, that's depressing. :(

Sure you don't have to use it, but it's like an ugly stain on the screen, and the only way to scrub it off is to use it.

I remember reading somewhere that Knuckles likes grapes--did that get forgotten?

417
I wouldn't mind.

418
I'm sorry, but I can't get past how he said MMU and MML3 being cancelled was a good thing. (Though I did read the article, and it seems to assume that Capcom would be smart enough to get the hint)

419
I'm most insulted honestly, by the "auto play" button.

I gotta wonder how casual gamers would feel about that. "Does Capcom think I'm so lazy/stupid that I'd use that on anything but a second play-through?"

(Well, if this game contains any examples of "that one boss", I guess the auto-play button'd be a small mercy. But still)

But I don't have high hopes for this, and something tells me most other fans don't either.

They don't. I was told that it went over better with the Japanese fanbase, but I dunno if they're excited for the game itself, or if they just like the new guy's design.

X / Re: Rockman X is Over
« on: August 17, 2012, 01:33:02 AM »
Storm Eagle's sprites have been improved, so I guess that's something. Still...

422
I wouldn't be surprised if this is what RMO became, assuming RMO bit the dust and we weren't informed.

RMO was so full of clones that it was hard for me to care about any of the characters, but it still looked like a better game than this. And as I said elsewhere, this might turn out to be the kind of crossover that only has a single connecting element, without which would just be a bunch of unrelated scenes. You know, the kind of crossover I despise.

423
Same here.

So...our player character. I'm okay with his design, but he doesn't seem to be a proper character by MM standards (clones everywhere, instead of just attributing multiple players in one place or something as "gameplay and story segregation"), has no personality to speak of yet, and seems too similar to X in some regards.

Still not nearly as angry at him as some others are right now; main point of contention seems to be the fur collar. (BTW, I've been calling him "Luka" until--or maybe after--he gets an official name)

424
In the interest of not going insane, someone on TMMN made a good point: It's the 25th anniversary, which should be a celebration of how far the series has come and what it means to the company (though any anniversary should be like that)...and so far, this is all we're getting.

I can sorta understand why Heatman wanted us not to be negative about Xover, but come on.

425
And of course, there's people in the comments section (pick a site) telling everyone else that they're ungrateful little shits because their first impressions of Xover were bad.

After everything that happened to MM recently, is it too much to ask that Capcom STOP HALF-ASSING EVERYTHING?!
